_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     If 'object' includes a 'varStruct' component, the inverse of the
     standard deviations of the variance function structure represented
     by the corresponding 'varFunc' object are returned; else, a vector
     of ones of length equal to the number of observations in the data
     frame used to fit the associated linear mixed-effects model is
     returned.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'lmeStruct':
     varWeights(object)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object inheriting from class 'lmeStruct', representing a
          list of linear mixed-effects model components, such as
          'reStruct', 'corStruct', and 'varFunc' objects.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     if 'object' includes a 'varStruct' component, a vector with the
     corresponding variance weights; else, or a vector of ones.
