We note that the interceptand slope for the tree deviation splines are assumed to be random effects. This isconsistent with Verbyla et al. [1999]. In this sense the tree deviation splines play a rolein modelling the conditional curves for each tree and variance modelling. The interceptand slope for each tree are included as random coefficients (denoted by rc in Table 8.11).Thus, if U 5×2 is the matrix of intercepts (column 1) and slopes (column 2) for each tree,then we assume that
