varWeights.lmeStruct {nlme} | R Documentation

## Variance Weights for lmeStruct Object

### Description

If `object` includes a `varStruct` component, the inverse of the standard deviations of the variance function structure represented by the corresponding `varFunc` object are returned; else, a vector of ones of length equal to the number of observations in the data frame used to fit the associated linear mixed-effects model is returned.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'lmeStruct':
    varWeights(object)

### Arguments

`object` | an object inheriting from class `lmeStruct`, representing a list of linear mixed-effects model components, such as `reStruct`, `corStruct`, and `varFunc` objects.

### Value

if `object` includes a `varStruct` component, a vector with the corresponding variance weights; else, or a vector of ones.
