## S4 classes to specify one or two levels of a model.

### Description

Classes to specify the likelihood and, if the model has higher levels, part or all of the second level.

### Slots

`formulaMu`

  Object of class `formula` specifying main effects and interactions in second level of model.

`varsigma`

  Data-level standard deviation, when this is supplied by the user (and treated as known.)

`nuVarsigma`

  Degrees of freedom for truncated half-t prior for data-level standard deviation.

`AVarsigma`

  Scale for truncated half-t prior for data-level standard deviation.

`varsigmaMax`

  Maximum value for data-level standard deviation.

`mean`

  Vector of means.

`sd`

### Warning

In normal usage, it should not be necessary to access, or even know about, the slots of a `SpecLikelihood` object. The slots are not part of the API of the package, and may change in future.

### See Also

Objects of class `SpecLikelihood` are created by calls to function such as `Poisson`, `Binomial`, `Normal`, and `PoissonBinomial`.
