A collection of models for bivariate alternating recurrent event data analysis. 
             Includes non-parametric and semi-parametric methods.

Assess the agreement in method comparison studies by tolerance intervals and errors-in-variables (EIV) regressions. The Ordinary Least Square regressions (OLSv and OLSh), the Deming Regression (DR), and the (Correlated)-Bivariate Least Square regressions (BLS and CBLS) can be used with unreplicated or replicated data. The BLS() and CBLS() are the two main functions to estimate a regression line, while XY.plot() and MD.plot() are the two main graphical functions to display, respectively an (X,Y) plot or (M,D) plot with the BLS or CBLS results. Four hyperbolic statistical intervals are provided: the Confidence Interval (CI), the Confidence Bands (CB), the Prediction Interval and the Generalized prediction Interval. Assuming no proportional bias, the (M,D) plot (Band-Altman plot) may be simplified by calculating univariate tolerance intervals (beta-expectation (type I) or beta-gamma content (type II)). Major updates from last version 1.0.0 are: title shortened, include the new functions BLS.fit() and CBLS.fit() as shortcut of the, respectively, functions BLS() and CBLS(). References: B.G.

Generates bivariate residual plots with simulation polygons for any diagnostics and bivariate model from which functions to extract the desired diagnostics, simulate new data and refit the models are available.

Simulation of bivariate uniform data with a full range of correlations based on 
             two beta densities and computation of the tetrachoric correlation 
             (correlation of bivariate uniform data) from the phi coefficient 
             (correlation of bivariate binary data) and vice versa.
