Dear Simon,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Pinheiro and Bates. I tried googling
the pdSymm and lme but I still cannot get the syntax right.
In my model, I only have 1 random factor with repetitions (groups) (e.g. 2
records per each level)
I am pasting bellow a very small example (2 records and 2 levels) which
demonstrates the error I am having.
The syntax of lme is obviously wrong, and any help would be appreciated:
Thanks

Error in `Names<-.pdMat`(`*tmp*`, value = c("(Intercept)", "Random")) :
Length of names should be 1
