     methods for this function include all 'varFunc' classes.

     covariate(object) <- value

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: any object with a 'covariate' component.

   value: a value to be assigned to the covariate associated with
          'object'.

     will depend on the method function; see the appropriate
     documentation.
