#glycerol data
beta <- c(0.31, -0.57, 0.01, 0.38, 0.21, -1.11, 1.26, -0.20, 0.36)
sigma2 <- c(0.54, 0.17, 0.62, 0.24, 0.39, 0.16, 2.77, 0.09, 0.23)
sigma <- sqrt(sigma2)

#intitialize S4 object ("ExactRE"|"RE"|"FE")
exactObject <- new("ExactRE", beta, sigma, effectName="beta")

#show results

#get tau2 with exact confidence interval
tau2(exactObject)

#get truncated I2 with exact confidence interval
I(exactObject)

#get eigenvalues
getEigen(exactObject)

#get results as list
