Random effects covariance structure #42

Closed stephensonm22 closed 2 years ago

stephensonm22 commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Can you please clarify where the random effects covariance structure is specified in the source code? I would like to specify the variance-covariance structure of 6 random effects parameters as shown below. This is a modified version of the Toeplitz covariance structure that can be implemented in SAS PROC MIXED. I have spent several hours sorting through the source code but have been unsuccessful in modifying the code to permit this covariance structure. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
