#' Stepwise regression based on risk profile concept and raw risk factors
#'
#' \code{stepRPCr} customized stepwise regression with p-value and trend check on raw risk factors which additionally takes into account 
#' the order of supplied risk factors per group when selects a candidate for the final regression model. Trend check is performed
#' comparing observed trend between target and analyzed risk factor and trend of the estimated coefficients. 
#' Note that procedure checks the column names of supplied \code{db} data frame therefore some 
#' renaming (replacement of special characters) is possible to happen. For details, please, check the help example.
#'@param start.model Formula class that represents the starting model. It can include some risk factors, but it can be
#'			   defined only with intercept (\code{y ~ 1} where \code{y} is target variable).
#'@param risk.profile Data frame with defined risk profile. It has to contain the following columns: \code{rf} and 
#'			    \code{group}. Column \code{group} defines order of groups that will be tested first as a candidate
#'			    for the regression model. Risk factors selected in each group are kept as a starting variables
#'			    for the next group testing. Column \code{rf} contains all candidate risk factors supplied for testing.
#'@param p.value Significance level of p-value of the estimated coefficients. For numerical risk factors this value is
#'		     is directly compared to the p-value of the estimated coefficients, while for categorical risk factors
#'		     multiple Wald test is employed and its value is used for comparison with selected threshold (\code{p.value}).
#'@param db Modeling data with risk factors and target variable. All risk factors (apart from the risk factors from the starting model) 
#'	    should be categorized and as of character type.
#'@param check.start.model Logical (\code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE}), if risk factors from the starting model should 
#'				   checked for p-value and trend in stepwise process.
#'@param offset.vals This can be used to specify an a priori known component to be included in the linear predictor during fitting. 
#'		    	   This should be \code{NULL} or a numeric vector of length equal to the number of cases. Default is \code{NULL}.
#'@return The command \code{stepRPCr} returns a list of four objects.\cr
#'	    The first object (\code{model}), is the final model, an object of class inheriting from \code{"glm"}.\cr
#'	    The second object (\code{steps}), is the data frame with risk factors selected at each iteration.\cr
#'	    The third object (\code{warnings}), is the data frame with warnings if any observed.
#'	    The warnings refer to the following checks: if risk factor has more than 10 modalities or
#'	    if any of the bins (groups) has less than 5% of observations.\cr
#'	    The final, fourth, object \code{dev.db} returns the model development database.
