Hi John,

❝ They are referring to σ2D value being no greater than 0.03 right? Can the number be negative, i.e, -0.06?


A covariance cannot be negative. That should be the end of the story, but isn't: it may appear negative due to numerical optimiser phenomena even when REML is used for optimisation. The optimiser should of course warn you about it if you use decent software (given the recent events on the software scene I am not entirely sure how to define decent. Price and quality is seemingly not so well correlated :-D).

Pass or fail!
