RMLE_equivTest {equivalenceTest}

Perform restricted MLE (RMLE) to estimate parameters under the constraint defined by the boundary of null hypothesis

Description

Perform restricted MLE (RMLE) to estimate parameters under the constraint defined by the boundary of null hypothesis, \mu_T - \mu_R = \eta\sigma_R where \eta is the margin multiplier.
