Empirical likelihood inference on descriptive statistics
This module conducts hypothesis tests and constructs confidence
intervals for the mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis and correlation.
If matplotlib is installed, this module can also generate multivariate
confidence region plots as well as mean-variance contour plots.

definitions.

"""
A clast that holds functions that are optimized/solved.
The general setup of the clast is simple. Any method that starts with
_opt_ creates a vector of estimating equations named est_vect such that
np.dot(p, (est_vect))=0 where p is the weight on each
observation as a 1 x n array and est_vect is n x k. Then _modif_Newton is
called to determine the optimal p by solving for the Lagrange multiplier
(eta) in the profile likelihood maximization problem. In the presence
of nuisance parameters, _opt_ functions are optimized over to profile
out the nuisance parameters.
Any method starting with _ci_limits calculates the log likelihood
ratio for a specific value of a parameter and then subtracts a
pre-specified critical value. This is solved so that llr - crit = 0.
