qrStart

<code>qrStart</code> is the function for generating starting values for a cdf-quantile GLM null model.

Employs a two-parameter family of
distributions for modelling random variables on the (0, 1) interval by
applying the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of one parent
distribution to the quantile function of another.
