_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Summarizes the object of class 'zelig' (output from 'sim') which
     contains simulated quantities of interst.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'zelig':
     summary(object, subset = NULL, CI = 95, stats = c("mean", "sd"), ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: output object from 'sim' (of class '"zelig"').

  subset: takes one of three values:

        _N_U_L_L (default) for more than one observation, summarizes all
             the observations at once for each quantity of interest.

        _a _n_u_m_e_r_i_c _v_e_c_t_o_r indicates which observations to summarize, and
             summarizes each one independently.

        _a_l_l summarizes all the observations independently.

   stats: summary statistics to be calculated.

      CI: a confidence interval to be calculated.

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

_V_a_l_u_e:

     sim: number of simulations, i.e., posterior draws.

       x: values of explanatory variables used for simulation.

      x1: values of explanatory variables used for simulation of first
          differences etc.

qi.stats: summary of quantities of interst.  Use 'names' to view the
          model-specific items available in 'qi.stats'.
