The traces also show me something about the first plot (the one that looks like a "bell curve" with upturned edges) that I didn't understand. That curve should not have...

We already have `StatsModels.jl` as a dependency so should we make this a method for `StatsModels.lrtest`?

I am considering whether it is best to try to explain why the methods or formulas from LMs or ANOVA that readers think should be meaningfully extended to LMMs aren't....

Fitting this model is a delicate optimization problem. Even slight differences in the floating point evaluations or order of operations in the numerical linear algebra could result in convergence to...

I am also on an arm macos device and I do have a `startup.jl` file that loads `AppleAccelerate.jl` which could cause a change. I will look into `Base.julia_cmd()`

> Malt is used to run the workers, and it does https://github.com/JuliaPluto/Malt.jl/blob/124c471c574d0958fd349858fd3686b798068ff3/src/Malt.jl#L255. Do we reckon that setting `"OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1"` might have anything to do with this? Yes, that's the difference ```julia...

I think this issue can be closed as we know the cause of the discrepancy.

You can easily check the effect of multi-threaded custom BLAS with `peakflops`. It is nearly a 10-fold difference on an arm64 MacBook. ```julia % OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1 julia --startup=no _ _ _...

> Wait, is the actual desired constraint simply a diagonal covariance structure? Something like the `||` in lme4? What is desired here is modification to the covariance structure of the...
