fitted(object, levels, nlmeFit, conLin)
nlmeStruct
,
representing a list of mixed-effects model components, such as
reStruct
,
corStruct
, and
varFunc
objects, plus
attributes specifying the underlying nonlinear model and the
response variable.
object
. 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.
"Xy"
, corresponding to a regression
matrix (
X
) combined with a response vector (
y
), and
"logLik"
, corresponding to the log-likelihood of the
underlying nlme model. Defaults to
attr(object, "conLin")
.
level
,
the returned value is a vector with the fitted values at the desired
level; else, when multiple grouping levels are specified in
level
, the returned object is a matrix with
columns given by the fitted values at different levels.
NOTE: This method function is generally only used inside
nlme
and
fitted.nlme
.
