Example 12. Exact Conditional Logistic Regression
****************************************************************/

/* Exact conditional logistic regression is a method that
addresses issues of separability and small sample sizes.

This example from Hand (1994) uses exact conditional logistic
regression to analyze a data set that has quasi-complete
separation.  The resulting exact parameter estimates are used to
predict the success probabilities of the subjects.*/
