% SETALIASES Set the key-value pairs to the alias-names and alias-values
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% DESCRIPTION: SETALIASES Set the key-value pairs to the alias-names and
%              alias-values. This method will set the key-value pairs to
%              the properties 'aliasNames' and 'aliasValues'. This method
%              will not keep the existing aliases.
%
% CALL:        obj = obj.setAliases('name', 'value');
%              obj = obj.setAliases(key-value pairs);
%              obj = obj.setAliases(plist);
%              obj = obj.setAliases(two cell-arrays);
%
% INPUTS:      obj         - a ltpda smodel object.
%              key-value   - A single key-value pair or a list of key-value
%                            pairs. Thereby it is important that the key is
%                            followed by the value.
%              plist       - Parameter list with values for the keys
%                            'names' and 'values'. The values can be a
%                            single value or a cell array with multiple
%                            values. The number of 'names' and 'values'
%                            must be the same.
%              cell-arrays - Two cell-arrays with the first of the 'names'
%                            and the second with the 'values'.
