Initialize.lmeStruct

an object inheriting from class <code>"<a href="/link/lmeStruct?package=nlme&version=3.1-114" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="nlme::lmeStruct">lmeStruct</a>"</code>,
   representing a list of linear mixed-effects model components, such as
   <code>reStruct</code>, <code>corStruct</code>, and <code>varFunc</code> objects.

object

a data frame in which to evaluate the variables defined in
   <code>formula(object)</code>.

data

a data frame with the grouping factors corresponding to
   the lme model associated with <code>object</code> as columns, sorted from
   innermost to outermost grouping level.

groups

an optional condensed linear model object, consisting of
   a list with components <code>"Xy"</code>, corresponding to a regression
   matrix (<code>X</code>) combined with a response vector (<code>y</code>), and 
   <code>"logLik"</code>, corresponding t

conLin

an optional list with control parameters for the
   initialization and optimization algorithms used in
   <code>lme</code>. Defaults to <code>list(niterEM=20, gradHess=TRUE)</code>,
   implying that 20 EM iterations are to be used in the derivation of
   

control

some methods for this generic require additional
    arguments.  None are used in this method.

The individual linear mixed-effects model components of the
  <code>lmeStruct</code> list are initialized.

models

Fit and compare Gaussian linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models.
