#' rolr: A package for computing optimal three-group splits based on a
#' continuous covariate and a survival outcome using
#' ordered logrank tests (OLR)
#'
#' The rolr package provides three  main functions, \code{\link{rsolr12}},
#' \code{\link{rmolr}}, and \code{\link{rhier}}, for fast computation of
#' three-group optimal cutpoints using two simple OLR tests, a
#' modified OLR test, and a hierarchical method, respectively.
