  object: an object that inherits from class `reStruct', representing
          the random-effects structure in a mixed-effects model.

  conLin: a condensed linear model providing the data and model
          matrices corresponding to the `object'

   niter: a positive integer - the number of iterations to be
          preformed.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     the updated `object'
