+    (description
+     "Fit a logistic regression model using Firth's bias reduction method,
+equivalent to penalization of the log-likelihood by the Jeffreys prior.
+Confidence intervals for regression coefficients can be computed by penalized
+profile likelihood.  Firth's method was proposed as ideal solution to the
+problem of separation in logistic regression, see Heinze and Schemper (2002)
+<doi:10.1002/sim.1047>.  If needed, the bias reduction can be turned off such
+that ordinary maximum likelihood logistic regression is obtained.  Two new
+modifications of Firth's method, FLIC and FLAC, lead to unbiased predictions
+and are now available in the package as well, see Puhr et al (2017)
+<doi:10.1002/sim.7273>.")
