`Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS' by J. C. Pinheiro and D. M. Bates ============================================== Errata and comments for the first printing (May 2000). p. iv Douglas Bates's address should be "Department of Statistics", not "Department of Computer Sciences and Statistics". p. 15 The interpretation of the coefficients (betas) in the Helmert parameterization is incorrect. It should be: - \beta_2 -- Half the difference between T1 and T2. - \beta_3 -- One third of the difference between T3 and the average of T1 and T2 - \beta_4 -- One fourth of the difference between T4 and the average of T1, T2, and T3. p. 20 In the first paragraph following the output of intervals(fm1Stool), \sigma_b can vary by a factor of 3 (not 5). p. 24 In the last paragraph, the more specific model is fm1Machine. p. 27 First sentence after first S output, only \sigma, and not \sigma_2, seems to vary over twelve orders of magnitude. p. 27 Second S output, 0.79621 should be replaced by 0.99958. p. 35 Last sentence of first paragraph, missing period at the end. p. 58 In equation (2.1), the variance-covariance of b_i should be \Psi, not \Sigma. p. 60 Line -3, the variance-covariance of the b_i, b_ij, and b_ijk should be \Psi_1, \Psi_2, and \Psi_3, not \Sigma_1, \Sigma_2, and \Sigma_3. p. 63 In Equation (2.5), the first exponent should be divided by 2. p. 65 Last sentence of first paragraph, missing "to" in "If possible we want to take advantage ..." p. 68 Line -2 of the first paragraph: ... is the rotated response vector. (not residual vector) p. 69 In Equation (2.15), the first denominator should be to (2\pi\sigma^2)^{q/2} instead of \sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}. p. 69 There is a missing `i' as a subscript of the last Z under the squareroot in the last display. p. 70 First displayed formula, second line. The exponent "-N/2" in the denominator should be "N/2" p. 72 First paragraph after numbered list, missing period at the end of the sentence. p. 84 Last sentence of first paragraph, the REML version of BIC also substitutes log(N) by log(N-p) in (2.28). p. 150 Line -4, should be "... while F03 is above the girls' average." p. 160 The second matrix in the Kronecker product defining the X_i matrix should be | 1 N_1 | | 1 N_2 | | 1 N_3 | | 1 N_4 | p. 169 Line -10, there is an extra "that" -- should be "... confirms the significance of ..." p. 178 Line -2 of first paragraph, missing period at the end of the sentence starting with "Overall, the standardized residuals...". p. 186 S output for intervals(fm2Wafer), the confidence intervals for the standard deviations were calculated with a version of NLME that contained a bug. The correct intervals are . . .

(not "update" rate) p. 400 S output for intervals(fm5OvarlmeML), the confidence intervals for the standard deviations were calculated with a version of NLME that contained a bug.
