In docopulae: Optimal Designs for Copula Models

#' Design of Experiments with Copulas
#'
#' A direct approach to optimal designs for copula models based on the Fisher information.
#' Provides flexible functions for building joint PDFs, evaluating the Fisher information and finding optimal designs.
#' It includes an extensible solution to summation and integration called `nint`, functions for transforming, plotting and comparing designs, as well as a set of tools for common low-level tasks.
#'
#' This package builds upon the theoretical result on optimal designs for copula models developed by Elisa Perrone and Werner G. Müller.
#' In their paper named 'Optimal designs for copula models' they introduce an equivalence theorem of Kiefer-Wolfowitz type for D-optimality along with examples and the proof.
#' The proof for D_A-optimality is analogous and is mentioned in an upcoming paper currently under double blind review.
