slm.fit(x, y, cov.family, initial, spatial.arglist, ...)This function is included to be consistent with the
lm
routines.
It performs a few assignments for the
slm
routine,
but these are not critical.
See function
slm
for additional information.
For most purposes, you would be better off calling the lower-level
function directly unless you want to write code that takes the
method
argument.
