Generalized Least Squares Structure

Description:

     A generalized least squares structure is a list of model
     components representing different sets of parameters in the linear
      model. A 'glsStruct'  may contain 'corStruct' and 'varFunc'
     objects. 'NULL' arguments are not included in the 'glsStruct'
     list.

Usage:

     glsStruct(corStruct, varStruct)

Arguments:

corStruct: an optional 'corStruct' object, representing a correlation
          structure. Default is 'NULL'.

varStruct: an optional 'varFunc' object, representing a variance
          function structure. Default is 'NULL'.

Value:

     a list of model variance-covariance components determining the
     parameters to be estimated for the associated linear model.
