     This function is generic; method functions can be writ-
     ten to handle specific classes of objects. Classes
     which already have methods for this function include
     all `varFunc' classes.

_U_s_a_g_e_:

     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'.

_V_a_l_u_e_:

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