Model Terms

Description:

     The function `terms' is a generic function which can be used to
     extract terms objects from various kinds of R data objects.

Usage:

     terms(x, ...)

Arguments:

       x: object used to select a method to dispatch.

     ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods.
