Description: An (upper) level set of a function is the set of inputs for 
  which the function value is at or above a specified threshold.  (Also 
  called an excursion set).  Applications of level sets include confidence 
  or credible regions for parameters of statistical models, where the function 
  is the likelihood or posterior density; regions where classification rules 
  assign high probability to a given class; and scientific or engineering 
  models where one is interested in input regions for which model output 
  is above a threshold.  This package maps out the boundary of a level 
  set by finding its intersections with collections of 1-dimensional rays, 
  generalizing a proposal by Kim and Lindsay (Statistica Sinica 21:923-948, 
  2011).  Tools are provided to generate rays, find intersections, and 
  visualize results.  The package makes few assumptions about the studied 
  function:  it may be discontinuous, it may have a complicated feasible 
  region, and the target level set may be non-convex or have multiple, 
  disconnected parts.  Vignettes describe package usage and show examples 
  with two to five input space dimensions.
