<code>fit</code> is a generic function for fitting Stochastic Mortality Models. 
The function invokes particular methods which depend on the class of the 
first argument.

Implementation of the family of generalised age-period-cohort
stochastic mortality models. This family of models encompasses many models
proposed in the actuarial and demographic literature including the
Lee-Carter (1992) <doi:10.2307/2290201> and
the Cairns-Blake-Dowd (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1539-6975.2006.00195.x> models.
It includes functions for fitting mortality models, analysing their
goodness-of-fit and performing mortality projections and simulations.
