     evaluate-methods to produce objects of class "Evaluation"

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

  object: the data set / simulation on which the evaluation takes place

estimator: the estimation function used; should be able to deal with
          data in matrix  form 'samplesize' x 'obsDim', and, should
          return either a  univariate result or a vector (with named
          coordinates, if possible).

 resname: (a vector of) character(s); the name for the univariate
          results or, in the case of multivariate results, and if the
          coordinates of the results have not yet been named, the basic
          name for them which is pasted to the coordinate number for
          each coordinate. 

    name: character; the name for the Evaluation object; by default the
          (R-)name of the Data  set object. 

filename: character; the filename for the Evaluation object (where it
          is to be saved to);  by default the filename of the Data set
          object which is concatenated with the name of the estimator
          in 'savedata'. 

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


     besides the arguments determining the method dispatch, we have:

     evaluate(object, estimator, ..., resname = "res", 
                            name = as.character(substitute(object)),
                            filename = filename(object))
