replacers: Various functions for modifying fields of view objects
In BLCOP: Black-Litterman and Copula Opinion Pooling Frameworks

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

These functions allow for direct replacement of fields of view objects such as the pick matrix and vector of confidences.

PMatrix(views) <- value
confidences(views) <- value
qv(views) <- value

`views`	An object of class BLViews or COPViews, except in the case of qv<- which applies only to BLViews
`value`	A vector in `confidences<-` and `qv<-` or a matrix in `PMatrix<-`.

The object is modified directly
