Consult Pinheiro and Bates (2000, Mixed-effects models in S and S-Plus,
Springer, ISBN 0-387-98957-0 ref 7 at
http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html ) for how to fit more elaborate
models, but two straightforward ones that might be adequate
are
lme( biomass~age, random=~1|woods )
and
lme( biomass~age, random=~age|woods )
In the lme4 library corresponding syntax is
lmer( biomass~age+(1|woods) )
and
lmer( biomass~age+(age|woods) )
For vignettes on the lme4 library see the mlmRev library and
