\title{get and set parameter names}
\description{
Gets and sets the "parnames" attribute on a
negative log-likelihood function
}
\usage{
parnames(obj)
parnames(obj) <- value
}
\arguments{
\item{obj}{a negative log-likelihood function}
\item{value}{a character vector of parameter names}
}
\details{
The \code{parnames} attribute is used by \code{mle2()}
when the negative log-likelihood function takes a parameter
vector, rather than a list of parameters; this allows
users to use the same objective function for \code{optim()}
and \code{mle2()}
}
\value{
Returns the \code{parnames} attribute (a character vector of
parameter names) or sets it.
