\title{Generator object for the \code{\linkS4class{merPredD}} class}
\usage{
merPredD(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{List of arguments (see Note).}
}
\description{
The generator object for the
\code{\linkS4class{merPredD}} reference class. Such an
object is primarily used through its \code{new} method.
}
\note{
\code{merPredD(...)} is a short form of \code{new("merPredD", ...)}
to create a new \code{\linkS4class{merPredD}} object and the
\code{...} must be named arguments, \code{(X, Zt, Lambdat, Lind,
theta,n)}:
\describe{
\item{\code{X}:}{dense model matrix for the fixed-effects parameters, to be
stored in the \code{X} field.}
\item{\code{Zt}:}{transpose of the sparse model matrix for the random
effects. It is stored in the \code{Zt} field.}
\item{\code{Lambdat}:}{transpose of the sparse lower triangular relative
variance factor (stored in the \code{Lambdat} field).}
\item{\code{Lind}:}{integer vector of the same length as the \code{x} slot in the
\code{Lambdat} field. Its elements should be in the range 1 to
the length of the \code{theta} field.}
\item{\code{theta}:}{numeric vector of variance component parameters (stored
in the \code{theta} field).}
\item{\code{n}:}{sample size, usually \code{nrow(X)}.}
}
