I want to set the structure in lme model the same as lmer model(the 1st model below), and I used the structure "random=list(site=~1,year=~1)"(the 2nd model below) . According to the result, the lme model was obviously wrong, for the R2 and AIC were different from that of lmer model. I want to know to get the same result as lmer model, how should I set the random argument?
