NAME

    RRegression --- structure to store regression information in R

FUNCTION

This type of structure contains the information about the regression components. It is the R analogue of the CRegression structure.

In R, this is implemented as a simple list. Most of the components are defined at initialization, others are added during the procedure.

The components are:

        m               number of clusters
        Ji              vector of cluster sizes
        cluster         cluster index for each subject
        status          vector of status indicators
        covariates      matrix of covariates for each subject
        coefficients    regression coefficient estimates
        candcov         covariance matrix for candidate generation
        lp              vector of linear predictors
        priorvar        prior variance of regression coefficients
        hyper           hyperparameters for prior variance
        tun             tuning parameters
        accept          most recent acceptance indicator
