_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This method function extracts the positive-definite matrices
     corresponding to the 'pdMat' elements of 'object'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'reStruct':

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: an object inheriting from class 'reStruct', representing a
          random effects structure and consisting of a list of 'pdMat'
          objects.

     ...: further arguments passed from other methods.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a list with components given by the positive-definite matrices
     corresponding to the elements of 'object'.
