This package is based on R code el.cen.EM, el.cen.EM2,
el.trun.test emplikH1, emplikH2, emplikdisc.test and 
el.cen.test, etc. written by Mai Zhou. 
The code el.test is ported from S code ELM() by Art Owen. 

el.test() can handle vector means as null hypothesis (several
mean parameters), but data must be uncensored. 
When dealing with censored data, use el.cen.EM2() to handle 
vector means.

Many other code in this package can only handle one parameter in H0.
But that parameter(s) can be mean/hazard/quantile, and the
function can also take censored/truncated data as inputs.
 
The name convention: el.xxx     for the parameter of mean(s).
                     emplikxxx  for the parameter of hazard(s).
					 
Porting to Splus should be easy. I may put out another version 
that move some of the loops to C function, but never found enough 
incentive to do so. (The current code seems fast enough?)

To do list: 10/9/2005  

Speed up with solve(A,b) instead of finding the
full inverse matrix by svd and compute A{-1}*b . 
See emplikH2.test2() for an example.

To do list: 3/2015

Integrate the kmc package into emplik package.
