This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include all "pdMat",
"corStruct" and "varFunc" classes,
"reStruct", and "modelStruct".
coefficients<- is an alias for coef<-.
coef(object, ...) <- valuecoefficients(object, ...) <- value
will depend on the method function; see the appropriate documentation.
any object representing a fitted model, or, by default,
any object with a coef component.
some methods for this generic function may require additional arguments.
a value to be assigned to the coefficients associated with
