Extract Matrix or Square-Root Factor from Components of an reStruct Object


Description

This method function extracts the positive-definite matrices corresponding to the pdMat elements of object, or square-root factors of the positive-definite matrices.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'reStruct'
pdMatrix(object, factor)

Arguments

object

an object inheriting from class "reStruct", representing a random effects structure and consisting of a list of pdMat objects.

factor

an optional logical value. If TRUE, square-root factors of the positive-definite matrices represented by the elements of object are returned; else, if FALSE, the positive-definite matrices are returned. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

a list with components given by the positive-definite matrices corresponding to the elements of object, or square-root factors of the positive-definite matrices.
