Analysis of Covariance. The class is an extension of "aov"
and "lm". It is identical to the "aov" for a single factor and a single
covariate plus an attribute which contains a "trellis" object.
Four different models are included in the class. See ancova
for the examples.
A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.
Class "aov", directly.
Class "lm", by class "aov", distance 2.
Class "mlm", by class "aov", distance 2, with explicit test and coerce.
Class "oldClass", by class "aov", distance 3.
Class "oldClass", by class "aov", distance 4, with explicit test and coerce.
No methods defined with class "ancova" in the signature.
S3-type methods are
"anova.ancova", "coef.ancova",
"coefficients.ancova", "model.frame.ancova",
"plot.ancova", "predict.ancova",
"print.ancova", "summary.ancova".
"plot.ancova(x)" plots a standard lm plot of x.
"print.ancova(x)" prints the anova(x) and the trellis attribute.
The remaining methods use NextMethod.
