    o   Improved documentation

    o   Changed default lqmmControl(method = "df") to lqmmControl(method = "gs") (lqmm.R)

                  Changes in version 1.02 (2012-09-15)                  

    o   Changed lqmControl and lqmmControl parameters (less stringent convergence thresholds) (lqmm.R)

    o   Changed quadrature default in lqmm (lqmm.R)

    o   Changed to the function boot.lqmm (lqmm.R) which provides bootstrapped standard errors of the coefficients estimates. The starting values used in each bootstrap sample are by default those from a least squares fit (startQR = FALSE). In previous versions of the package, starting values were taken from the fitted object (startQR = TRUE) to speed up convergence in each bootstrap sample. However, this causes the standard errors to be under-estimated

                  Changes in version 1.01 (2012-05-31)
