Initialize reStruct Object
Description
Initial estimates for the parameters in the pdMat
objects
forming object
, which have not yet been initialized, are
obtained using the methodology described in Bates and Pinheiro
(1998). These estimates may be refined using a series of EM
iterations, as described in Bates and Pinheiro (1998). The number of
EM iterations to be used is defined in control
.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'reStruct'
Initialize(object, data, conLin, control, ...)
Arguments
object |
an object inheriting from class |
data |
a data frame in which to evaluate the variables defined in
|
conLin |
a condensed linear model object, consisting of a list
with components |
control |
an optional list with a single component |
... |
some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method. |
Value
an reStruct
object similar to object
, but with all
