| 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.

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