Functions to perform calibration transfer with LMIR

Functions to perform calibration transfer by likelihood maximization: a standard-free approach capable of handling non-overlapping wavelength ranges.

In this approach, calibration for spectral data on primary instrument is performed by likelihood maximization inverse regression (LMIR).
Based on a limited number of spectra from a secondary instrument and the corresponding reference values, an estimation model is created based on block pairs.
The latter can then be used to estimate spectra from secondary instrument in the domain of primary instrument to be able to use to primary calibration.
