Description: Performs frequentist inference for the extremal index of a 
    stationary time series.  Two types of methodology are used.  One type is
    based on a model that relates the distribution of block maxima to the 
    marginal distribution of series and leads to the semiparametric maxima 
    estimators described in Northrop (2015) <doi:10.1007/s10687-015-0221-5> and 
    Berghaus and Bucher (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-AOS1621>.  Sliding block maxima
    are used to increase precision of estimation. The other type of methodology
    uses a model for the distribution of threshold inter-exceedance times
    (Ferro and Segers (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00401>). Two 
    versions of this type of approach are provided, following Suveges (2007) 
    <doi:10.1007/s10687-007-0034-2> and Suveges and Davison (2010)  
    <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS292>.
