00_EQL-package: Extended Quasi-Likelihood Function (EQL)

In EQL: Extended-Quasi-Likelihood-Function (EQL)

Description

The package EQL contains functions for

• computation of the EQL for a given family of variance functions

• Edgeworth approximations

• Saddlepoint approximations

• related auxiliary functions (e.g. Hermite polynomials)

See section ‘Index’ for a list of exported functions. Section ‘Internals’ lists the internal functions of the package, which are not exported but may be referenced by EQL:::.functionName.
