#' R package for fast and exact (restricted) likelihood ratio tests for mixed and additive models.
#'
#' \code{RLRsim} implements fast simulation-based exact tests for variance components in mixed and additive models for
#' conditionally Gaussian responses -- i.e., tests for questions like:
#' \itemize{
#' \item is the variance of my random intercept significantly different from 0?
#' \item is this smooth effect significantly nonlinear?
#' \item is this smooth effect significantly different from a constant effect?}
#' The convenience functions \code{\link{exactRLRT}} and \code{\link{exactLRT}}
#' can deal with fitted models from packages \pkg{lme4, nlme, gamm4, SemiPar} and
#' from \pkg{mgcv}'s \code{gamm()}-function.
#' Workhorse functions \code{\link{LRTSim}} and \code{\link{RLRTSim}}
#' accept design matrices as inputs directly and can thus be used more generally
#' to generate exact critical values for the corresponding
#' (restricted) likelihood ratio tests.\cr\cr
#' The theory behind these tests was first developed in:\cr
