title: 'TestREnlme: Nonparametric Tests for Random Effects in Linear and Nonlinear
  Mixed-Effects Models'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.TestREnlme
abstract: 'Provides nonparametric permutation tests for testing all or any subset
  of random effects in linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models, without requiring
  normality or other distributional assumptions on random effects or errors. Three
  distribution-free variance-component estimators are implemented: Variance Least
  Squares (''VLS''), Method of Moments (''MM''), and Method of Moments with First-Order
  Approximation (''MMF''). A permutation procedure is used to obtain finite-sample
  p-values. Plotting functions support data exploration, model evaluation, and communication
  of results. Methods are described in Uwimpuhwe, Drikvandi, and Blozis (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.70605>.'
