logLik.varFunc {nlme} | R Documentation

## Extract varFunc logLik

### Description

This method function extracts the component of a Gaussian log-likelihood associated with the variance function structure represented by `object`, which is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the corresponding weights.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'varFunc'
    logLik(object, data, ...)

### Arguments

`object` | an object inheriting from class `"varFunc"`, representing a variance function structure.
`data` | this argument is included to make this method function compatible with other `logLik` methods and will be ignored.
`...` | some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method.

### Value

the sum of the logarithms of the weights corresponding to the variance function structure represented by `object`.
