Model functions

Context: Model line

and() function

and(t,r) and a(t,r)
overlay (add) r times the design matrix for model term t to the existing design matrix. Specifically, if the model up to this point has p effects and t has a effects, the a columns of the design matrix for t are multiplied by the scalar r (default value 1.0) and added to the last a of the p columns already defined. The overlaid term must agree in size with the term it overlays. This can be used to force a correlation of 1 between two terms as in a diallel analysis
male and(female) assuming the i th male is the same individual as the i th female. Note that if the overlaid term is complex, it must be predefined; e.g.
