Dear all, I'm working with a model to estimate components of variance by using the lme() function. The model is as the following: model=lme(fixed=X~1+as.factor(station),data=myData,na.action=na.exclude,rand om=~N+1|spliceOrHoming) Where X is the response measured variable, station is treated as fixed effects factor, N is a continuous variable, and spliceOrHoming is a (ordered) factor. The idea is that the response variable (X) varies almost linearly with N (in a decreasing fashion) , but the slope and intercept of t...
