-	
-	\code{all} contains the names of all the parameters found in the 
-	diffusion and drift coefficients;
-	
-	\code{common} contains the names of the parameters that both the drift 
-	and the diffusion coefficients contain;
-
-	\code{diffusion} contains the parameters belonging only to the diffusion coefficient;

-	each element corresponds to the name of the solution variable (left-hand-side) of 
-	each equation in the model, in the corresponding order;	  
-	  
-	next we have the names of the \code{state.variable}, \code{jump.variable} and \code{time.variable} variables. 
-	By default, they are assumed to be $x$ and $t$ but the user can freely choose them.

-	in the \code{parameter} slot.
-
-	\code{noise.number} denotes the number of sources of noise; currently, this is 
-	the number of independent Brownian motions, but jump noise will be included sometime 
-	in the future.
-
-	\code{equation.number} denotes the dimension of the SDEs.

+This object is one of the slots of the \code{\link{yuima.data-class}}.
+The object contains two slots. 
+
+The slot \code{original.data} contains, as the name suggests,
+a copy of the original data passed by the user to the \code{initialize} method 
+and/or the \code{\link{setData}} function. It is intended for backup purposes.
+
+Internally, the \pkg{yuima} package stores and operates on  
+\code{\link{zoo}}-type objects.
+The \code{\link{zoo}}-fied data are contained in the slot \code{zoo.data}.
+
+If data are obtained by simulation, the \code{original.data} slot 
+is usually empty.
