In the case where X11 and X33 are positively correlated, while X22 and X33 are negatively correlated (X3 goes up while X2 goes down), X11 and X22 may not be correlated. This is just my observation in some of the models I had before. Best regards, Sam Liao, Ph.D. PharMax Research 199 Pierce Street, Suite 817, Somerset, NJ 08873 phone: 201-9882043 efax: 1-720-2946783
