Initialize a glsStruct Object

DESCRIPTION:

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

USAGE:

initialize(object, data, control) 

REQUIRED 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).

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

control
an optional list with control parameters for the initialization and optimization algorithms used in gls. Defaults to list(singular.ok = FALSE, qrTol = .Machine$single.eps)', implying that linear dependencies are not allowed in the model and that the tolerance for detecting linear dependencies among the columns of the regression matrix is .Machine$single.eps.

VALUE:

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