Asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of variance component estimates table for Fit Mixed Effects Model

The asymptotic variance-covariance matrix displays the variances and covariances of the random terms in the model. The diagonal values are the variances of the terms. The off-diagonal values represent the covariances of any two random terms. Minitab uses the variances to calculate the standard errors for each random term in the model.

Note

Minitab displays the variance-covariance matrix only if you select Variance-covariance matrix of variance component estimates on the Results subdialog.
