## Class `"profile.mle"`; Profiling information for `"mle"` object

### Description

Likelihood profiles along each parameter of likelihood function

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("profile.mle", ...)`, but most often by invoking `profile` on an "mle" object.

### Slots

`profile`:

  Object of class `"list"`. List of profiles, one for each requested parameter. Each profile is a data frame with the first column called `z` being the signed square root of the -2 log likelihood ratio, and the others being the parameters with names prefixed by `par.vals.`

`summary`:

  Object of class `"summary.mle"`. Summary of object being profiled.

### Methods

confint

  `signature(object = "profile.mle")`: Use profile to generate approximate confidence intervals for parameters.

plot

  `signature(x = "profile.mle", y = "missing")`: Plot profiles for each parameter.
