## Performs ordinal logistic regression.
##
## Suppose Y takes values in k ordered categories, and let gamma_i (x)
## be the cumulative probability that Y falls in one of the first i
## categories given the covariate x.  Then
##   [theta, beta] =
##     logistic_regression (y, x)
## fits the model
##   logit (gamma_i (x)) = theta_i - beta' * x,   i = 1, ..., k-1.
## The number of ordinal categories, k, is taken to be the number of
## distinct values of round (y) .  If k equals 2, y is binary and the
## model is ordinary logistic regression. X is assumed to have full
## column rank.
##
##   theta = logistic_regression (y)
## fits the model with baseline logit odds only.
##
## The full form is
##   [theta, beta, dev, dl, d2l, gamma] =
##     logistic_regression (y, x, print, theta, beta)
## in which all output arguments and all input arguments except y are
## optional.
##
## print = 1 requests summary information about the fitted model to be
## displayed; print = 2 requests information about convergence at each
## iteration. Other values request no information to be displayed. The
## input arguments `theta' and `beta' give initial estimates for theta
## and beta.
##
## `dev' holds minus twice the log-likelihood.
##
## `dl' and `d2l' are the vector of first and the matrix of second
## derivatives of the log-likelihood with respect to theta and beta.
##
## `p' holds estimates for the conditional distribution of Y given x.
