Running the exampleas above, the primary output is written to nin89.asr. This file contains asummary of the data, the iteration sequence, estimates of the variance parametersand an analysis of variance (ANOVA) table. The estimates of all the fixedand random effects are written to nin89.sln. The residuals, predicted values ofthe observations and the diagonal elements of the hat matrix (see Chapter 2) arereturned in nin89.yht, see Section 13.3. Other files produced by this job includethe .aov, .pvs, .res, .tab, .vvp and .veo files, see Section 13.4.The .asr fileBelow is nin89.asr with pointers to the main sections. The first line gives theversion of ASReml used (in square brackets) and the title of the job. The secondline gives the build date for the program and indicates whether it is a 32bit or64bit version. The third line gives the date and time that the job was run andreports the size of the workspace. The general announcements box (outlined inasterisks) at the top of the file notifies the user of current release features. Theremaining lines report a data summary, the iteration sequence, the estimatedvariance parameters and an ANOVA table. The final line gives the date and timethat the job was completed and a statement about convergence.job headingnoticesASReml 1.63o [01 Jun 2005] NIN alliance trial 1989Build: j [01 Jul 2005] 32 bit11 Jul 2005 13:55:21.504 32.00 Mbyte Windows nin89Licensed to: Arthur Gilmour***********************************************************
