Hi dear all,

First of all, I am sorry if my question is too stupid.

I could not find the answer no matter how much I investigate. I am new in the area of bioequivalence, and recently I am interested in individual bioequivalence. Also, I am not so familiar with the lme4. I am trying to extract the variance components (sigmaBT^2, sigmaBR^2, sigmaWT^2, sigmaWR^2 and rho) of the model (Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation). My data is as follows:
head(mydata)
  Subject Formula Period Sequence      Yijk
1       1       1      1        1 100.11145
2       1       0      2        1 100.00666
3       1       1      3        1 100.06645
4       1       0      4        1  99.96603
5       2       1      1        1 100.04678
6       2       0      2        1 100.03281


I am trying to do it by lmer function as follows:

lmer(Yijk~Formula+Period+Sequence+(1|Sequence))
Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
Formula: Yijk ~ Formula + Period + Sequence + (1 | Sequence)
REML criterion at convergence: 60.4953
Random effects:
 Groups   Name        Std.Dev.
 Sequence (Intercept) 0.002309
 Residual             0.356224
Number of obs: 64, groups:  Sequence, 2
Fixed Effects:
(Intercept)      Formula       Period     Sequence 
  99.787798     0.178645     0.080047    -0.004724 
model <- lmer(Yijk~Formula+Period+Sequence+(1|Sequence))
summary(model)
Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
Formula: Yijk ~ Formula + Period + Sequence + (1 | Sequence)

REML criterion at convergence: 60.5

Scaled residuals:
    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max
-2.5750 -0.4585  0.1577  0.5746  2.2238

Random effects:
 Groups   Name        Variance  Std.Dev.
 Sequence (Intercept) 5.331e-06 0.002309
 Residual             1.269e-01 0.356224
Number of obs: 64, groups:  Sequence, 2

Fixed effects:
             Estimate Std. Error t value
(Intercept) 99.787798   0.178187   560.0
Formula      0.178645   0.089056     2.0
Period       0.080047   0.039827     2.0
Sequence    -0.004724   0.089116    -0.1

Correlation of Fixed Effects:
         (Intr) Formul Period
Formula  -0.250             
Period   -0.559  0.000       
Sequence -0.750  0.000  0.000


I know, the estimated value of sigmaWR^2 = 1.269e-01 and the mean difference Ft-Fr = 0.178645.

But how can I get the estimated values of sigmaBT^2, sigmaBR^2, sigmaWT^2 and rho ? I appreciate any help.
