Description: An implementation of a method of extending a logistic
        regression model beyond linear effects of the co-variates. The
        extension in is constructed by first equating the logistic
        regression model to a naive Bayes model where all the margins
        are specified to follow natural exponential distributions
        conditional on Y, that is, a model for Y given X that is
        specified through the distribution of X given Y, where the
        columns of X are assumed to be mutually independent conditional
        on Y. Subsequently, the model is expanded by adding vine -
        copulas to relax the assumption of mutual independence, where
        pair-copulas are added in a stage-wise, forward selection
        manner. Some heuristics are employed during the process of
        selecting edges, as well as the families of pair-copula models.
        After each component is added, the parameters are updated by a
        (smaller) number of gradient steps to maximise the likelihood.
        When the algorithm has stopped adding edges, based the
        criterion that a new edge should improve the likelihood more
        than k times the number new parameters, the parameters are
        updated with a larger number of gradient steps, or until
        convergence.
