Mixed-effects models / heterogeneous covariances
Dear R-list, maybe someone can help me with the following mixed-effects models problem, as I am unable to figure it out with the 'nlme-bible'. I would like to fit (in R, obviously) a so-called animal model (google e. g. "Heritability and genetic constraints of life-history" by Pettay et al.) to estimate the variance component that is due to genetic effects. The covariances of the genetic random effects between observations are given by the different degrees of relatedness between the individuals examined. (I find it difficult to explain, but Pettay et al. describe it nicely in...
