The fitted values at level <i>i</i> are obtained by adding together the population fitted values (based only on the fixed effects estimates) and the estimated contributions of the random effects to the fitted values at grouping levels less or equal to <i>i</i>. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> ## S3 method for class 'lmeStruct' residuals(object, level, conLin, lmeFit, ...) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>object</code></td> <td> <p>an object inheriting from class <code>"<a href="lmeStruct.html">lmeStruct</a>"</code>, representing a list of linear mixed-effects model components, such as <code>reStruct</code>, <code>corStruct</code>, and <code>varFunc</code> objects.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>level</code></td> <td> <p>an optional integer vector giving the level(s) of grouping to be used in extracting the residuals from <code>object</code>. Level values increase from outermost to innermost grouping, with level zero corresponding to the population fitted values. Defaults to the highest or innermost level of grouping.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>conLin</code></td> <td> <p>an optional condensed linear model object, consisting of a list with components <code>"Xy"</code>, corresponding to a regression matrix (<code>X</code>) combined with a response vector (<code>y</code>), and <code>"logLik"</code>, corresponding to the log-likelihood of the underlying lme model. Defaults to <code>attr(object, "conLin")</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>lmeFit</code></td> <td> <p>an optional list with components <code>beta</code> and <code>b</code> containing respectively the fixed effects estimates and the random effects estimates to be used to calculate the residuals. Defaults to <code>attr(object, "lmeFit")</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>...</code></td> <td> <p>some methods for this generic accept optional arguments.</p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Value</h3> <p>if a single level of grouping is specified in <code>level</code>, the returned value is a vector with the residuals at the desired level; else, when multiple grouping levels are specified in <code>level</code>, the returned object is a matrix with columns given by the residuals at different levels. </p> <h3>Note</h3> <p>This method function is primarily used within the <code><a href="lme.html">lme</a></code> function. </p> <h3>Author(s)</h3> <p>José Pinheiro and Douglas Bates <a href="mailto:bates@stat.wisc.edu">bates@stat.wisc.edu</a></p> <h3>See Also</h3> <p><code><a href="lme.html">lme</a></code>, <code><a href="residuals.lme.html">residuals.lme</a></code>, <code><a href="fitted.lmeStruct.html">fitted.lmeStruct</a></code> </p> <hr /><div style="text-align: center;">[Package <em>nlme</em> version 3.1-139 <a href="00Index.html">Index</a>]</div> </body></html>
