Dear confused sailor,

willingly I do you the favor:

CSH fit:
          Estimated V Matrix for subject 1

 Row        Col1        Col2        Col3        Col4
   1     0.02540    0.005652    0.005251    0.005251
   2    0.005652     0.02540    0.005251    0.005251
   3    0.005251    0.005251     0.02498    0.004878
   4    0.005251    0.005251    0.004878     0.02498

UN fit:
          Estimated V Matrix for subject 1

 Row        Col1        Col2        Col3        Col4
   1     0.02732                 0.01202     0.01202
   2                 0.02732     0.01202     0.01202
   3     0.01202     0.01202     0.02476
   4     0.01202     0.01202                 0.02476

Same block for other subjects.

Unfortunately I have not found an option to give you directly the Z matrix to temper your confusion.
My suggestion: Go to sea and let the storm blow your brain clear :-D.

For 1 subject I suppose (if the four values are sorted by tmt and replicate number):
      random tmt
Tmt   R    T
R1    1    0
R2    1    0
T1    0    1
T2    0    1

According to your clear and concise memo of the rules of matrix multiplication this gives a 4x4 matrix for Z*G*Zt. Hope this helps.

Another tip: Have a look into

Helen Brown, Robin Prescott
"Applied Mixed Models in Medicine"
Second edition, John Wiley & Sons 2006
ISBN: 0-470-02356-2

There are a lot of matrix specifications in it.

Detlew
