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.' '_s_u_m_m_a_r_y': Object of class '"summary.mle"'. Summary of object being profiled. _M_e_t_h_o_d_s: _c_o_n_f_i_n_t 'signature(object = "profile.mle")': Use profile to generate approximate confidence intervals for parameters. _p_l_o_t 'signature(x = "profile.mle", y = "missing")': Plot profiles for each parameter. _S_e_e _A_l_s_o: 'mle', 'mle-class', 'summary.mle-class'
