_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A generic function to assign the parameter vector in an object. 
     For historical reasons parameters are accessed with `coef' and
     assigned with `coef<-'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     coef(object) <- value

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: An object that has a numeric parameter vector accessed by
          `coef'.

   value: A numeric vector of the same length as `coef(object)'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     `object' with an updated parameter vector
