Description: Indirect method for the estimation of reference intervals using Real-World Data ('RWD'). It takes routine measurements 
	of diagnostic tests, containing pathological and non-pathological samples as input and uses sophisticated
	statistical methods to derive a model describing the distribution of the non-pathological samples. This distribution can then be 
	used to derive reference intervals. 
	Furthermore, the package offers functions for printing and plotting the results of the algorithm. See ?refineR for a more comprehensive description of the features. 
	Version 1.0 of the algorithm is described in detail in Ammer T., Schuetzenmeister A., Prokosch H.-U., Rauh M., Rank C.M., Zierk J. "refineR: A Novel Algorithm for Reference Interval Estimation from Real-World Data". Scientific Reports (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-95301-2>.
