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

     Returns the variance-covariance matrix of the main parameters of a
     fitted model object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     vcov(object, ...)

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

  object: a fitted model object. 

     ...: additional arguments for method functions.  For the 'glm'
          method this can be used to pass a 'dispersion' parameter. 

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

     This is a generic function. Functions with names beginning in
     'vcov.' will be methods for this function. Classes with methods
     for this function include: 'lm', 'glm', 'nls', 'lme', 'gls',
     'coxph' and 'survreg'

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A matrix of the estimated covariances between the parameter
     estimates in the linear or non-linear predictor of the model.
