Dear Dadan,
I presume you are considering the analysis of a single trial
where an AR x AR correlated arror model is fitted.
When there is a reasonable amount of spatial correlation,
you can add '!r units' to the model in which case it will estimate
the uncorelated error and the Residual will estimate the correlated error.
Sometimes the 'units' component can not be estimated [especially when there
is not much correlated error].
Another approach [which takes longer computationally] but which is otherwise
equivalent is to fit the error as independent effects and include
a row.col as a random factor. It would need to be spacified as
row.col 3
row 0 AR .1 # row autocorrelation
col 0 AR .1 # column autocorrelation
1 0 I .1 # gamma for correlated error component
I trust thuis helps,
Arthur
