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

     A generic 'response' model for 'depmix' models.

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

  object: An object of class "response".

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This class offers a framework from which to build specific
     response models such as glm based responses or multinomial
     responses.  For extensibility, objects with class 'response'
     should have at least methods: 'dens' to return the 'dens''ity of
     responses, and 'getpars' and 'setpars' methods to get and set
     parameters.

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


     '_p_a_r_a_m_e_t_e_r_s': A (named) list of parameters.

     '_f_i_x_e_d': A logical vector indicating which parameters are fixed.

     '_y': A matrix with the actual response; possibly multivariate.

     '_x': A design matrix; possibly only an intercept term.

     '_n_p_a_r': The number of parameters.

_A_c_c_e_s_s_o_r _F_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_s:

     The following functions should be used for accessing the
     corresponding slots:

     '_n_p_a_r': The number of parameters of the model.

     '_g_e_t_d_f': The number of non-fixed parameters.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):
