<td><p>The 'profile' method searches the parameter space for the
cutoff of the confidence intervals by means of a likelihood ratio test.
The 'quadratic' method approximates the likelihood function at the
optimised parameters using the second term of the Taylor expansion, using
a second derivative (hessian) contained in the object.</p></td>

applied to the likelihood based on the transformed parameters?</p></td>

transformed parameters, should we backtransform the parameters with
their confidence intervals?</p></td>

the student t distribution or assume normal distribution for
the parameter estimate</p></td>
