Initialize.glsStruct: Initialize a glsStruct Object

Description

The individual linear model components of the glsStruct list are initialized.

Usage

"Initialize"(object, data, control, ...)

Arguments

object

an object inheriting from class "glsStruct", representing a list of linear model components, such as corStruct and varFunc objects.

data

a data frame in which to evaluate the variables defined in formula(object).

control

an optional list with control parameters for the initialization and optimization algorithms used in gls. Defaults to list(singular.ok = FALSE), implying that linear dependencies are not allowed in the model.

...

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

Value

a glsStruct object similar to object, but with initialized model components.
