In ikosmidis/brquasi: Bias reduction in quasi likelihood estimation

#' Bias reduction in quasi likelihood estimation
#'
#' Estimation and inference from quasi likelihoods based on various
#' methods for bias reduction. The 'brquasi' fitting method can
#' achieve reduction of bias either by using the empirical adjustments
#' to the quasi score functions in Kosmidis & Lunardon (2020) or by
#' direct subtraction of an empirical estimate of the bias of the
#' quasi-likelihood estimator. Estimation in all cases takes place via
#' a quasi Newton-Raphson algorithm.
