LS, I'm estimating multilevel regression models, using the lme-function from the nlme-package. Let's say that I estimated a model and stored it inside the object named 'model'. The summary of that model is shown below: Using summary(model)$tTable , I receive the following output: > summary(model)$tTable Value Std.Error DF t-value p-value (Intercept) 0.23268607 0.09350662 3990 2.4884449 1.287080e-02 sexM -0.15338225 0.03169762 3990 -4.8389206 1.354802e-06 standLRT 0.38593558 0.01677195 3990 23.0107762 4.005182e-110 vrmid 50% 0.07606394 0.09389376 61 0.8101064 4.210281e-01 vrtop 25% 0.24561327 0.10483374 61 2.3428838 2.241317e-02 intakemid 50% -0.41469716 0.03177240 3990 -13.0521199 3.698344e-38 intaketop 25% -0.75920783 0.05357980 3990 -14.1696648 1.666780e-44 typeSngl 0.15680532 0.07173835 61 2.1857949 3.267903e-02 All looks fine to me. The output above is simply a section from the full summary shown below. Now, I want to extract from the summary (or the full model) the part stating the random parameters. More specifically, I want to extract from the summary the following: (Intercept) 0.2869401 (Intr) typeSngl 0.2791040 -0.617 Residual 0.7302233 How could this be done?
