_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The intervals on the real line that corresponds to the
     intersections of the maximal cliques are computed and returned.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     MLEintvl(intvls, ml=Maclist(intvls))

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  intvls: The n by 2 matrix containing the event time intervals for the
          individuals under study. 

      ml: The 'Maclist' computed for the 'intvls'. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An m by 2 matrix, where m is the number of maximal cliques. The
     first column contains the left end point of the real
     representation for the appropriate maximal clique and the second
     column contains the right end point.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     Alain Vandal and Robert Gentleman

_R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e_s:

     Computational Methods for Censored Data using Intersection Graphs,
     R. Gentleman and A. Vandal, JCGS, 2000.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'Maclist'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

        data(cosmesis)
        csub1 <- subset(cosmesis, subset=Trt==0, select=c(L,R))
        MLEintvl(csub1)
