This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include: gls and lme.
ACF(object, maxLag, ...)will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation.
any object from which an autocorrelation function can be obtained. Generally an object resulting from a model fit, from which residuals can be extracted.
maximum lag for which the autocorrelation should be calculated.
some methods for this generic require additional arguments.
