varPower | R Documentation |
This function is a constructor for the varPower
class,
representing a power variance function structure. Letting
v
denote the variance covariate and \sigma^2(v)
denote the variance function evaluated at v
, the power
variance function is defined as \sigma^2(v) = |v|^{2\theta}
, where \theta
is the variance
function coefficient. When a grouping factor is present, a different
\theta
is used for each factor level.
varPower(value, form, fixed)
value |
an optional numeric vector, or list of numeric values,
with the variance function coefficients. |
form |
an optional one-sided formula of the form |
fixed |
an optional numeric vector, or list of numeric values,
specifying the values at which some or all of the coefficients in
the variance function should be fixed. If a grouping factor is
specified in |
a varPower
object representing a power variance function
structure, also inheriting from class varFunc
.
