     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' argu-
     ments are not included in the `gnlsStruct' list.

     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 deter-
     mining the parameters to be estimated for the associ-
     ated nonlinear model.
