Hello~

I'm fitting a random effects model using coxme and I was wondering how are
the variance components estimated? Are the fixed and random effects
estimated iteratively using Fisher scoring method?

I referred to the coxme manual but it didn't specify how the parameters are
estimated
(https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/coxme/vignettes/coxme.pdf)

Thank you!!
