##' Calculate 1D likelihood profiles wrt. single parameters or more
##' generally, wrt. arbitrary linear combinations of parameters
##' (e.g. contrasts).
##'
##' Given a linear combination \deqn{ t = \sum_{i=1}^n v_i \theta_i } of
##' the parameter vector \eqn{\theta}, this function calculates the
##' likelihood profile of \eqn{t}. By default \eqn{v} is a unit vector
##' determined from \code{name}. Alternatively the linear combination
##' may be given directly (\code{lincomb}).
##'
##' @title Adaptive likelihood profiling.
##' @param obj Object from \code{MakeADFun} that has been optimized.
##' @param name Name or index of a parameter to profile.
##' @param lincomb Optional linear combination of parameters to
##' profile. By default a unit vector corresponding to \code{name}.
##' @param h Initial adaptive stepsize on parameter axis.
##' @param ytol Adjusts the range of the likelihood values.
##' @param ystep Adjusts the resolution of the likelihood profile.
##' @param maxit Max number of iterations for adaptive algorithm.
##' @param slice Do slicing rather than profiling?
##' @param parm.range Valid parameter range.
##' @param adaptive Logical; Use adaptive step size?
##' @param trace Trace progress? (TRUE, or a numeric value of 1,
##' gives basic tracing: numeric values > 1 give more information)
##' @param ... Unused
##' @return data.frame with parameter and function values.
##' @seealso \code{\link{plot.tmbprofile}}, \code{\link{confint.tmbprofile}}

##' ## Profile wrt. sigma0:
##' prof <- tmbprofile(obj,"logsd0")

##' confint(prof)

##' ## Profile the difference between the beta parameters (name is optional):
