Description: Fitting multivariate covariance generalized linear models
        (McGLMs) to data.  McGLM is a general framework for non-normal
        multivariate data analysis, designed to handle multivariate
        response variables, along with a wide range of temporal and
        spatial correlation structures defined in terms of a covariance
        link function combined with a matrix linear predictor involving
        known matrices. The models take non-normality into account in
        the conventional way by means of a variance function, and the
        mean structure is modelled by means of a link function and a
        linear predictor. The models are fitted using an efficient
        Newton scoring algorithm based on quasi-likelihood and Pearson
        estimating functions, using only second-moment assumptions.
        This provides a unified approach to a wide variety of different
        types of response variables and covariance structures,
        including multivariate extensions of repeated measures, time
        series, longitudinal, spatial and spatio-temporal structures.
        The package offers a user-friendly interface for fitting McGLMs
        similar to the glm() R function. See Bonat (2018)
