This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include:
formula,
modelStruct,
pdBlocked
,
pdMat, and
reStruct.
USAGE:
Names(object, ...)
Names(object, ...) <- value
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:
object
any object for which names can be extracted and/or assigned.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
...
some methods for this generic function require additional
arguments.
VALUE:
will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation.
SIDE EFFECTS::
On the left side of an assignment, sets the names associated with
object
to
value, which must have an appropriate length.
NOTE: If
names were generic, there would be no need for this generic
function.
