In PingYangChen/milr: Multiple-Instance Logistic Regression with LASSO Penalty

#' The milr package: multiple-instance logistic regression with lasso penalty
#'
#' The multiple instance data set consists of many independent subjects (called bags) 
#' and each subject is composed of several components (called instances). The outcomes 
#' of such data set are binary or multinomial, and, we can only observe the subject-level 
#' outcomes. For example, in manufactory processes, a subject is labeled as "defective" 
#' if at least one of its own components is defective, and otherwise, is labeled as 
#' "non-defective".  The milr package focuses on the predictive model for the multiple 
#' instance data set with binary outcomes and performs the maximum likelihood estimation 
#' with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm under the framework of logistic regression.  
#' Moreover, the LASSO penalty is attached to the likelihood function for simultaneous parameter 
#' estimation and variable selection.
