Description: Provides tools for profiling a user-supplied
        log-likelihood function to calculate confidence intervals for
        model parameters. Speed of computation can be improved by
        adjusting the step sizes in the profiling and/or starting the
        profiling from limits based on the approximate large sample
        normal distribution for the maximum likelihood estimator of a
        parameter. The accuracy of the limits can be set by the user. A
        plot method visualises the log-likelihood and confidence
        interval. Cases where the profile log-likelihood flattens above
        the value at which a confidence limit is defined can be
        handled, leading to a limit at plus or minus infinity. Disjoint
        confidence intervals will not be found.
