Hi. First, I would like to thank all the contributors to this project for their efforts. Given that we primarily use Debian and R as our computing platform, having access to these backports has been very beneficial. I have been looking in the last couple of days for AMD64 lenny backports of the R 2.9.0 packages in lenny-cran. Will these appear in due course or are there issues backporting

Hi. I would like to thank Johannes, Piet and others for the lenny-cran AMD64 ports. I have a question about r-recommended from lenny-cran which I just installed: hotelling:~$ apt-cache policy r-recommended r-recommended: Installed: 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0 Candidate: 2.9.0-1~lennycran.0 Version table: 2.9.0-1 0 600 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu unstable/main Packages ***

Greetings, 1) Is there a nice way of extracting the variance estimates from an lme fit? They don't seem to be part of the lme object. 2) In a series of simulations, I am finding that with ML fitting one of my random effect variances is sometimes being estimated as essentially zero with massive CI instead of the finite value it should have, whilst using REML I get the expected value. I guess
