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

_S_l_o_t_s:

     '_p_r_o_f_i_l_e': 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.'

     '_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.
