  ...
)

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 optional initialization value
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. ...
