Here is a piece of code fitting a model to a (part) of a dataset, just for illustration. I can extract the random interaction and the residual variance in group meth==1 using VarCorr, but how do I get the other residual variance?

Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate.
