### Arguments

`object` | any object from which an autocorrelation function can be obtained. Generally an object resulting from a model fit, from which residuals can be extracted.
`maxLag` | maximum lag for which the autocorrelation should be calculated.
`...` | some methods for this generic require additional arguments.
