pdConstruct.pdInd: Construct pdInd object

In gmonette/spida: Collection of miscellaneous functions for mixed models etc. prepared for SPIDA 2009+ (development version)

Description

This function is a constructor for a list("pdInd") object.

Usage

pdConstruct.pdInd(object, value = numeric(0), form = formula(object),
  nam = Names(object), data = sys.parent(), cov = NULL, zero = NULL,
  ...)

Arguments

object	an object inheriting from the class pdInd, representing a positive definite matrix with zero covariances except in the first row and column.
value	an option initialization value, which can be any of the following ...
form	an optional one-sided linear formula specifying the row/column names for the matrix represented by object.
nam	and optional vector of character strings specifying the row/column names for the matrix represented by object.
data	and optional data frame i which to evaluate the variables names in value and form. ...
cov	optional position in lower triangle of covariances that are estimated and, thus, possibly non-zero. The default is that the covariances in the first column are estimated and possibly non-zero.
zero	optional way of specifying covariances constrained to be equal to zero. Only the lower triangular portion of the zero is used. The elements that are equal to 0 corresponds to the pattern of elements that are constrained to zero in the covariance matrix.
