Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Structure

Description

A nonlinear mixed-effects structure is a list of model components representing different sets of parameters in the nonlinear mixed-effects model. An nlmeStruct list must contain at least a reStruct object, but may also contain corStruct and varFunc objects. NULL arguments are not included in the nlmeStruct list.

Usage

nlmeStruct(reStruct, corStruct, varStruct)

Arguments

`reStruct`	a `reStruct` representing a random effects structure.
`corStruct`	an optional `corStruct` object, representing a correlation structure. Default is `NULL`.
`varStruct`	an optional `varFunc` object, representing a variance function structure. Default is `NULL`.

Value

a list of model components determining the parameters to be estimated for the associated nonlinear mixed-effects model.
