For those familiar with random effect models (animal models more specifically) using the ASReml-R package, I would be glad for some input.
When using
summary(model1)$varcomp
R returns the variance components just fine.
However,
summary(model1)$coef.fixed
does not seem to implemented anymore (or differently) in the ASReml-R 3 package. From Wilson et al.'s paper 'an ecologist's guide to the animal model', I am assuming the command worked fine in previous versions of ASR-eml for R.
In any case, R does not return the estimates for fixed effects any longer.
Any ideas on why this may be ?
I am using R 2.15.0 and the ASReml 3 package for R.
Thanks in advance for any comments !
