Title: Computation of the MLE for bivariate (interval) censored data

Description: This package contains functions to compute the nonparametric 
  maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for 
  the bivariate distribution of (X,Y), when 
  realizations of (X,Y) cannot be observed directly. 
  To be more precise, we consider the situation 
  where we observe a set of rectangles 
  (that we call 'observation rectangles') that are known 
  to contain the unobservable realizations of (X,Y). We
  compute the MLE based on such a set of rectangles. 
  The methods can also be used for univariate censored data (see data set
  'cosmesis'), and for 
  censored data with competing risks (see data set 'menopause'). 
  We also provide functions to visualize 
  the observed data and the MLE. 
  Please
  feel free to contact me with questions or suggestions about this package. 
  (This package contains the functionality
  of the R-package 'bicreduc', which will no longer be maintained.)
