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

  object: An object of class 'XdeParameter' or 'XdeMcmc'.

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

     For an object of class 'XdeParameter', 'iterations' specifies the
     total number of MCMC iterations. Note that by setting the 'thin'
     parameter to a value greater than 1, the number of MCMC iterations
     will be greater than the number of saved MCMC iterations (saved
     iterations = iterations / thin).

     For an object of class 'XdeMcmc' (a class that stores output from
     the MCMC), 'iterations' specifies the number of iterations that
     were saved.

     The replacement method is only defined for the 'XdeParameter'
     class.  The class 'XdeMcmc' is meant to reflect the information in
     an already run chain, whereas 'XdeParameter' is a class for
     parameterizing the Bayesian model that has not yet been fit.
