pdNatural-class

pdNatural

A class of general, positive-definite
  symmetric matrices parameterized by the logarithm of the diagonal
  elements and Fisher's z transformation of the correlations.

pdNatural-class function

Objects can be created by calls of the form <code>new("pdNatural",
    ...)</code> or by the generic constructor function <code>pdNatural</code>.
  Frequently the constructor is given a formula only, creating an
  uninitialized <code>pdNatural</code> object which is later assigned a
  value.<p></p><p>  <code>pdNatural</code> objects are primarily used to represent the
  variance-covariance matrix or the precision matrix of random-effects
  terms in mixed-effects models.</p>
