Dear s-plus users,

In a lme-model, I want to examine the effect of two factors, here ENTRADA (15
levels) and LOCALIDAD (2 levels)
model.lme <- lme(data = bcar, random = ~1| PLANTA/CLON, fixed = bcar ~
ENTRADA * LOCALIDAD, na.action = na.omit)
the summary function yields the following model parameters
Fixed effects: BCAR.NORM ~ ENTRADA * LOCALIDAD

I have used the contrast treatment, as you recommend in other mails, but what I
want to obtain is a estimation of fixed effects for each level of each factor,
included the interaction of both factors.
I have read some documentation, but it don't explain the exact meaning of all
coefficients I obtained.
For example the intercept is the estimated value of the first level of ENTRADA
at first level of LOCALIDAD, these values are only estimates of fixed effects
or they have a part of random effects?
How I obtain the estimates of the two levels of LOCALIDAD?,
Thank you
