\begin{Description}\relax
Likelihood profiles along each parameter of likelihood function
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Objects from the Class}
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("profile.mle",
  ...)}, but most often by invoking \code{profile} on an "mle" object.
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Slots}
\describe{
\item[\code{profile}:] Object of class \code{"list"}. List of
profiles, one for each requested parameter. Each profile is a data
frame with the first column called \code{z} being the signed square
root of the -2 log likelihood ratio, and the others being the
parameters with names prefixed by \code{par.vals.}
\item[\code{summary}:] Object of class \code{"summary.mle"}. Summary
of object being profiled.
}
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Methods}
\describe{
\item[confint] \code{signature(object = "profile.mle")}: Use profile
to generate approximate confidence intervals for parameters.
\item[plot] \code{signature(x = "profile.mle", y = "missing")}: Plot
profiles for each parameter.
}
