The new matrices must have the same dimensions as the matrices they are meant to replace. _U_s_a_g_e: ## S3 replacement method for class 'reStruct': matrix(object) <- value _A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s: object: an object inheriting from class 'reStruct', representing a random effects structure and consisting of a list of 'pdMat' objects. value: a matrix, or list of matrices, with the new values to be assigned to the matrices associated with the 'pdMat' components of 'object'. _V_a_l_u_e: an 'reStruct' object similar to 'object', but with the coefficients of the individual 'pdMat' components modified to produce the matrices listed in 'value'. _A_u_t_h_o_r(_s): Jose Pinheiro Jose.Pinheiro@pharma.novartis.com and Douglas Bates bates@stat.wisc.edu _S_e_e _A_l_s_o: 'reStruct', 'pdMat', '"matrix<-"' _E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s: rs1 <- reStruct(list(Dog = ~day, Side = ~1), data = Pixel) matrix(rs1) <- list(diag(2), 3)
