Creates an instance of the S4 class, AceEstimate instantiating arguments set the parameter values estimated by the ACE model.
CreateAceEstimate( aSquared, cSquared, eSquared, caseCount, details = list(), unityTolerance = 1e-11 )
| aSquared | The proportion of variability due to a shared genetic influence (typically represented as a^2, or sometimes h^2). |
|---|---|
| cSquared | The proportion of variability due to shared common environmental influence. |
| eSquared | The proportion of variability due to unexplained/residual/error influence. |
| caseCount | The number of cases used to estimate the model. |
| details | A |
| unityTolerance | Specifies how close the the sum of the ACE components should be to one, to be considered properly scaled to one. |
An S4 object of AceEstimate.
The contents of the details list depends on the underlying estimation routine. For example, when the ACE model is estimated with a DF analysis, the output is a stats::lm object, because the stats::lm function was used (ie, the basic general linear model). Alternatively, if the user specified the lavaan package should estimate that ACE model, the output is a lavaan::lavaan object.
