The function mc_non builds the components of the matrix linear predictor used for fitting non-structured covariance matrix. In general this model is hard to fit due to the large number of parameters.

mc_ns(id, data, group = NULL, marca = NULL)

Arguments

id

name of the column (string) containing the subject index. Note this structure was designed to deal with longitudinal data. For times series or spatial data use the same id for all observations (one unit sample).

data

data set.

group

name of the column (string) containing a group specific for which the covariance should change.

marca

level (string) of the column group for which the covariance should change.
