The estimate for the between-individual variance slopes, however, depends on the scaling of both, the covariate and the response.

The amount of variation of intercepts compared to the mean intercept was greater than the among-individual variance in slopes compared to the average slope.
There was no significant variance in slopes (var u1j ) = 9.02, p = .20) or in the covariation between slopes and intercepts (cov u 0j, u 1j ) = −27.25, p = .08).08
The between kebele variance of slopes indicated that the two variables, ANC in the previous pregnancies and preference for skilled providers, significantly varied across kebeles.
Dingemanse et al. (2012) considered similar estimates of among-individual variance in slopes to show a lack of individual-specific change.
Following Martin et al. (2011), we retained individuals that only recorded traits scores on one trial, as although they cannot contribute to estimates of variance among slopes they can contribute to estimates of variance among intercepts.
In children between the ages of two and five, the decrease in IgA responses to CT694 were not as significant as other age groups, and low samples sizes may have contributed to the variance in slopes for these groups.
On the other hand, we found a correlation between variance and slope of the M-value curve.
The average of the estimated genetic variance in slope = σ ^ A sl 2 was biased upwards in all cases, but the bias was small (between +2 and +13%).
The results showed that the optimum selection environment is not always equal to the environment in which the response is to be realised, but depends on the degree of G × E (determined by the ratio of variances in slope and level of a linear reaction norm), the correlation between level and slope, and the heritability of the trait.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
