construct.varcov: Construct Variance-Covariance Matrix

In morphErr: Measurement Error Models for Morphometric Data

Construct Variance-Covariance Matrix

Description

Takes standard deviations and correlation parameters, and organises them into a block-diagonal variance-covariance matrix.

Usage

construct.varcov(sds, cors, n.blocks, m, block.only)

Arguments

sds	Numeric vector of standard deviations for each dimension
cors	Numeric vector of correlation parameters between dimensions
n.blocks	Integer, number of blocks in the matrix
m	Integer, number of dimensions measured
block.only	Logical, if TRUE returns only one block rather than the full matrix

Value

A variance-covariance matrix
