Detailed Description

High-level engine for profiled two-dimensional likelihood contours.

The contour engine combines three concerns:

• construction of a two-dimensional profiled likelihood,
• optional prior-like Gaussian constraints for projected parameters,
• extraction of the requested contour with a configurable algorithm.
