Hello,
How do I get the standard deviations for the random effects out of the
lme object? I feel like there's probably a simple way of doing this,
but I can't see it. Using the first example from the documentation:
> fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont) # random is ~ age
> fm1
Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML
Data: Orthodont
Log-restricted-likelihood: -221.3183
Fixed: distance ~ age
(Intercept) age
16.7611111 0.6601852
Random effects:
Formula: ~age | Subject
Structure: General positive-definite
StdDev Corr
(Intercept) 2.3270339 (Intr)
age 0.2264276 -0.609
Residual 1.3100399
Number of Observations: 108
Number of Groups: 27
I want to extract the column vector (2.3270339, 0.2264276,
1.3100399)'. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben
