Extract Model Coefficients

Description:

     'coef' is a generic function which extracts model coefficients
     from objects returned by modeling functions.  'coefficients' is an
     _alias_ for it.

Usage:

     coef(object, ...)
     coefficients(object, ...)

Arguments:

  object: an object for which the extraction of model coefficients is
          meaningful.

     ...: other arguments.

Details:

     All object classes which are returned by model fitting functions
     should provide a 'coef' method or use the default one. (Note that
     the method is for 'coef' and not 'coefficients'.)

     Class '"aov"' has a 'coef' method that does not report aliased
     coefficients (see 'alias').

Value:

     Coefficients extracted from the model object 'object'.
