The internal representation of this structure, in terms of unconstrained parameters, uses the spherical parametrization defined in Pinheiro and Bates (1996). Objects created using this constructor must later be initialized using the appropriate <code>Initialize</code> method. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> corSymm(value, form, fixed) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>value</code></td> <td> <p>an optional vector with the parameter values. Default is <code>numeric(0)</code>, which results in a vector of zeros of appropriate dimension being assigned to the parameters when <code>object</code> is initialized (corresponding to an identity correlation structure).</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>form</code></td> <td> <p>a one sided formula of the form <code>~ t</code>, or <code>~ t | g</code>, specifying a time covariate <code>t</code> and, optionally, a grouping factor <code>g</code>. A covariate for this correlation structure must be integer valued. When a grouping factor is present in <code>form</code>, the correlation structure is assumed to apply only to observations within the same grouping level; observations with different grouping levels are assumed to be uncorrelated. Defaults to <code>~ 1</code>, which corresponds to using the order of the observations in the data as a covariate, and no groups.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>fixed</code></td> <td> <p>an optional logical value indicating whether the coefficients should be allowed to vary in the optimization, or kept fixed at their initial value. Defaults to <code>FALSE</code>, in which case the coefficients are allowed to vary.</p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Value</h3> <p>an object of class <code>corSymm</code> representing a general correlation structure. </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.
