#' @title MGLM: A package for multivariate response generalized linear models
#'
#' @description 
#' The package provides functions that (1) fit multivariate discrete distributions, 
#' (2) generate random numbers from multivariate discrete distributions, and 
#' (3) run regression and penalized regression on the multivariate categorical response data. 
#' Implemented models include: multinomial logit model, Dirichlet multinomial model, 
#' generalized Dirichlet multinomial model, and negative multinomial model. 
#' Making the best of the minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm and Newton-Raphson method, 
#' we derive and implement stable and efficient algorithms to find the maximum likelihood estimates. 
#' On a multi-core machine, multi-threading is supported.
