Linear Mixed Models (REML) – Correlated Errors

Defines a covariance structure for random effects in a linear mixed model fitted by REML.

Correlated error models

Lists the random model terms to which a covariance structure is to be applied. Select the random model term that you want.

Construction

Specifies whether the covariance structure is to be defined as a single structure for the whole term, or if it is to be constructed as a direct product of matrices corresponding to the factors in the model term.

Covariance models

Once a term is specified, a covariance model can be selected for each factor or the whole term, as required:

  • identity
  • autoregressive order 1 or 2
  • moving average order 1 or 2
  • ARMA(1,1)
  • diagonal
  • uniform
