Modified Maximum Contrast Method

An implementation of modified maximum contrast methods and the maximum contrast method: Functions 'mmcm.mvt' and 'mcm.mvt' give P-value by using randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method with 'pmvt' function of package 'mvtnorm', and 'mmcm.resamp' gives P-value by using a permutation method.
