Classes which already have methods for this function include: <code>corStruct</code>, <code>lmeStruct</code>, <code>reStruct</code>, and <code>varFunc</code>. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> Initialize(object, data, ...) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>object</code></td> <td> <p>any object requiring initialization, e.g. "plug-in" structures such as <code>corStruct</code> and <code>varFunc</code> objects. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>data</code></td> <td> <p>a data frame to be used in the initialization procedure.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>...</code></td> <td> <p>some methods for this generic function require additional arguments.</p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Value</h3> <p>an initialized object with the same class as <code>object</code>. Changes introduced by the initialization procedure will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation. </p> <h3>Author(s)</h3> <p>José Pinheiro and Douglas Bates <a href="mailto:bates@stat.wisc.edu">bates@stat.wisc.edu</a></p> <h3>References</h3> <p>Pinheiro, J.C., and Bates, D.M.
