Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Structure

DESCRIPTION:

A nonlinear mixed-effects structure is a list of model components representing different sets of parameters in the nonlinear mixed-effects model. An nlmeStruct list must contain at least a reStruct object, but may also contain corStruct and varFunc objects. NULL arguments are not included in the nlmeStruct list.

USAGE:

nlmeStruct(reStruct, corStruct, varStruct) 

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

reStruct
a reStruct representing a random effects structure.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

corStruct
an optional corStruct object, representing a correlation structure. Default is NULL.
varStruct
an optional varFunc object, representing a variance function structure. Default is NULL.

VALUE:

a list of model components determining the parameters to be estimated for the associated nonlinear mixed-effects model.

EXAMPLES:

nlms1 <- nlmeStruct(reStruct(~age), corAR1(), varPower())
