\arguments{

    meaningful.}

}
\value{
  Coefficients extracted from the model object \code{object}.
}
\description{
  \code{coef} is a generic function which extracts model coefficients
  from objects returned by modeling functions.  \code{coefficients} is
  an \emph{alias} for it.
}
\details{
  All object classes which are returned by model fitting functions
  should provide a \code{coef} method or use the default one.
  (Note that the method is for \code{coef} and not \code{coefficients}.)

  Class \code{"aov"} has a \code{coef} method that does not report
  aliased coefficients (see \code{\link{alias}}).
