_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The right hand side of 'form', stripped of any conditioning
     expression (i.e. an expression following a '|' operator), is
     evaluated in 'object'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
     getCovariate(object, form, data)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object inheriting from class 'data.frame'.

    form: an optional formula specifying the covariate to be evaluated
          in 'object'. Defaults to 'formula(object)'.

    data: some methods for this generic require a separate data frame.
          Not used in this method.

_V_a_l_u_e:
