Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Structure

DESCRIPTION:

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

USAGE:

glmeStruct(reStruct, corStruct, varStruct)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

reStruct
an reStruct representing a random effects structure.
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 generalized linear mixed-effects model.

EXAMPLES:

glms1 <- glmeStruct(reStruct(~age), corAR1(), varPower())
