     object: 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.

      value: a value to be assigned to the coefficients associ-
             ated with `object'.

        This function is generic; method functions can be writ-
        ten to handle specific classes of objects. Classes
        which already have methods for this function include
        all `pdMat', `corStruct', and `varFunc' classes,
        `reStruct', and `modelStruct'.

   VVaalluuee::

        will depend on the method function; see the appropriate
        documentation.
