| varFixed {nlme} | R Documentation |
This function is a constructor for the varFixed class,
representing a variance function with fixed variances. Letting v
denote the variance covariate defined in value, the variance
function s2(v) for this class is
s2(v)=|v|. The variance covariate v is
evaluated once at initialization and remains fixed thereafter. No
coefficients are required to represent this variance function.
varFixed(value)
value |
a one-sided formula of the form ~ v specifying a
variance covariate v. Grouping factors are ignored. |
a varFixed object representing a fixed variance function
structure, also inheriting from class varFunc.
