Initialize.glsStruct function

Initialize a glsStruct Object

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

## S3 method for class 'glsStruct'
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.

Returns

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