[R] Linear Mixed Effects

AFAIK lme(), by default, estimates the covariance between two or more 
random-effects, thus you do not have to specify anything. You're 
probably looking for something like:

fit <- lme(y ~ time * treat, random = ~ time | subject)
fit
summary(fit)


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
