`plot-methods` Methods for Function plot in Package stats4

Plot profile likelihoods for "mle" objects.

## S4 method for signature 'profile.mle,missing'
plot(x, levels, conf = c(99, 95, 90, 80, 50)/100, nseg = 50,
     absVal = TRUE, ...)

`x`	an object of class `"profile.mle"`
`levels`	levels, on the scale of the absolute value of a t statistic, at which to interpolate intervals. Usually `conf` is used instead of giving `levels` explicitly.
`conf`	a numeric vector of confidence levels for profile-based confidence intervals on the parameters.
`nseg`	an integer value giving the number of segments to use in the spline interpolation of the profile t curves.
`absVal`	a logical value indicating whether or not the plots should be on the scale of the absolute value of the profile t. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`...`	other arguments to the `plot` function can be passed here.

signature(x = "ANY", y = "ANY"): Generic function: see plot.
signature(x = "profile.mle", y = "missing"): Plot likelihood profiles for x.
