\name{model.extract}
\title{Extract Components from a Model Frame}
\usage{
model.extract(frame, component)
model.offset(x)
model.response(data, type = "any")
model.weights(x)
}
\alias{model.extract}
\alias{model.offset}
\alias{model.response}
\alias{model.weights}
\arguments{
 \item{frame, x, data}{A model frame.}
 \item{component}{literal character string or name. The name of a
   component to extract, such as \code{"weights"}, \code{"subset"}.}
 \item{type}{One of \code{"any"}, \code{"numeric"}, \code{"double"}.
   Using either of latter two coerces the result to have storage mode
   \code{"double"}.}
}
\description{Returns the response, offset, subset, weights or other
  special components of a model frame passed as optional arguments to
  \code{\link{model.frame}}.
}
\details{
  \code{model.extract} is provided for compatibility with S, which does
  not have the more specific functions.  It is also useful to extract
  e.g. the \code{etastart} and \code{mustart} components of a
  \code{\link{glm}} fit.

  \code{model.offset} and \code{model.response} are equivalent to
  \code{model.extract(, "offset")} and \code{model.extract(, "response")}
  respectively.  \code{model.offset} sums any terms specified by
  \code{\link{offset}} terms in the formula or by \code{offset} arguments
  in the call producing the model frame: it does check that the offset
  is numeric.

  \code{model.weights} is slightly different from
  \code{model.frame(, "weights")} in not naming the vector it returns.
}
\value{The specified component of the model frame, usually a vector.}
