[R] mcmcsamp - How does it work?

[Cleber N. Borges]

Hello,

I am a chemical student and I make use of 'lme/lmer function'
to handle experiments in split-plot structures.
I know about the mcmcsamp and I think that it's very promissory.

I would like knowing "the concept behind" of the mcmcsamp function.
I do not want the C code of the MCMCSAMP function.
I would like to get the "pseudo-algorithm" to understanding
that it does.

I accompanied the threads [1] and [2] and 'googled' several terms but
I do not obtained success about this matter.

[ 1 ] fixed effects following lmer and mcmcsamp - which to present? -

[ 2 ] mcmcsamp-CI instead of P-values - references? - 3/10/2006


Thanks in advanced for yours attention!
