Hi ElMaestro,

❝ The solution I posted is a total winner. :-D:-D:-D Where do I collect my medal? :-D:-D:-D


Hey, it looks great indeed! However, that’s only the foundation of the house. Walls, a door, windows, and a roof would be nice.

❝ Will be happy to learn of performance on other datasets, …


Try my code with
path <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Helmut01/replicateBE/master/inst/extdata/DS04.csv"
That’s an  incomplete  balanced data set (Cmax of Table II).1

PHX (convergence after 8 iterations without warnings, -2REML 292.14, AIC 314.14):
lambda(1,1) 0.43651691
lambda(1,2) 0.63844444
lambda(2,2) 0.41685382
s2wR        0.31426995
s2wT        0.00718607
Manual:
lambda(1,1)^2=var_bR=0.1905470

My master’s code:
  Component  Estimate     Initial
      var_T 0.5885621 0.591211271
     var_bR 0.1905466 0.008845665
     var_wR 0.3142704 0.318270251
 covar_bTbR 0.2786906 0.300028468
Not that bad. ;-)

❝ … in particular of differences between results or non-convergence (which is often something related to instability caused by the initial guess being too far from the optimum).


See this post with links to John’s nasty datasets. Will see whether I still have the one which failed completely both in SAS and PHX.

❝ A slight change this morning, for the initial guesses, less clumsy and more likely (in the nonrestricted fashion ;-) ) to reflect the optimal solution:


Will check that later.2

for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer
