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

     The '"amer"'-class represents additive or generalized additive
     mixed-effects models.  It extends the '"mer"'-class.

     Objects can be created by calls to the 'amer' function.

_S_l_o_t_s:

     The class '"amer"' extends the 'mer-class'. It has only one
     additional slot:



     '_s_m_o_o_t_h_s': a ist with one entry for each smooth term in the model.
           Each entry contains the term in the model formula used to
          generate the spline basis, with attributes  'indGrp',
          'indPen', 'indUnpen', 'indConst' giving the respective
          indices of the variance components,  random effects,
          (non-constant) fixed effects and constant fixed effects
          (intercept, factor level effects)  associated with the smooth

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'getF' for extracting fitted or predicted function values of the
     smooth terms.
