residuals(object, levels, glmeFit, conLin, type)
glmeStruct
,
representing a list of generalized linear mixed-effects model components,
such as
reStruct
,
corStruct
,
and
varFunc
objects.
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.
beta
and
b
containing respectively
the fixed effects estimates and the random effects estimates
to be used to calculate the residuals.
Defaults to
attr(object, "lmeFit")
.
"Xy"
,
corresponding to a regression matrix (
X
)
combined with a response vector (
y
),
and
"logLik"
,
corresponding to the log-likelihood of the underlying glme model.
Defaults to
attr(object, "conLin")
.
"response"
and
"link"
.
Partial matching of arguments is used,
so only the first character needs to be provided.
Default is
"response"
.
level
,
the returned value is a vector with the residuals at the desired level;
else, when multiple grouping levels are specified
in
level
,
the returned object is a matrix with columns given
by the residuals at different levels.
This method function is primarily used
within the
glme
function.
