\title{Check if a modelStruct Object Needs Updating}
\usage{
\method{needUpdate}{modelStruct}(object)
}
\alias{needUpdate.modelStruct}
\alias{needUpdate.corStruct}
\alias{needUpdate.reStruct}
\arguments{
\item{object}{an object inheriting from class \code{"modelStruct"},
representing a list of model components, such as \code{corStruct} and
\code{varFunc} objects.}
}
\description{
This method function checks if any of the elements of \code{object}
needs to be updated. Updating of objects usually takes place in
iterative algorithms in which auxiliary quantities associated with the
object, and not being optimized over, may change.
}
\value{
a logical value indicating whether any element of \code{object} needs
to be updated.
