_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

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

_U_s_a_g_e:

     gnlsStruct(corStruct, varStruct)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

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'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

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