## Tilde Operator

### Description

Tilde is used to separate the left- and right-hand sides in a model formula.

### Usage

### Arguments

`y, model` | symbolic expressions.

### Details

The left-hand side is optional, and one-sided formulae are used in some contexts.

A formula has mode `call`. It can be subsetted by `[[`: the components are `~`, the left-hand side (if present) and the right-hand side in that order.
