Fixed Variance Function
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.

a varFixed
object representing a fixed variance function
structure, also inheriting from class varFunc
.
