\usage{
coef(object, \dots) <-  value
}
\alias{coef<-}
\alias{coefficients<-}
\arguments{
 \item{object}{any object representing a fitted model, or, by default,
   any object with a \code{coef} component.}
 \item{\dots}{some methods for this generic function may require
   additional arguments.}
 \item{value}{a value to be assigned to the coefficients associated with
 \code{object}.}
}
\description{
  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 \code{pdMat}, \code{corStruct}, and 
  \code{varFunc} classes, \code{reStruct}, and \code{modelStruct}.
}
\value{
  will depend on the method function; see the appropriate documentation.
