recalc.corStruct {nlme} | R Documentation

## Recalculate for corStruct Object

### Description

This method function pre-multiples the `"Xy"` component of `conLin` by the transpose square-root factor(s) of the correlation matrix (matrices) associated with `object` and adds the log-likelihood contribution of `object`, given by `logLik(object)`, to the `"logLik"` component of `conLin`.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'corStruct':
    recalc(object, conLin, ...)

### Arguments

`object` | an object inheriting from class `corStruct`, representing a correlation structure.
`conLin` | a condensed linear model object, consisting of a list with components `"Xy"`, corresponding to a regression matrix (`X`) combined with a response vector (`y`), and `"logLik"`, corresponding to the log-likelihood of the underlying model.
`...` | some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method.

### Value

the recalculated condensed linear model object.

### Note

This method function is only used inside model fitting functions, such as `lme` and `gls`, that allow correlated error terms.
