Usage
## S3 method for class 'corStruct' Dim(object, groups, ...)
Arguments
| object | an object inheriting from class  | 
| groups | an optional factor defining the grouping of the observations; observations within a group are correlated and observations in different groups are uncorrelated. | 
| ... | some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method. | 
Value
a list with components:
| N | length of  | 
| M | number of groups | 
| maxLen | maximum number of observations in a group | 
| sumLenSq | sum of the squares of the number of observations per group | 
| len | an integer vector with the number of observations per group | 
| start | an integer vector with the starting position for the observations in each group, beginning from zero |
