The main function of the package is the informSCI-function for calculating informative lower simultaneous confidence bounds for a given graphical test procedure and given information weights. The explore_q-function can help to find the right information weights for the informSCI-algorithm. The inExactSCI- and notInExactSCI-functions can help to determine how accurate a (numerical) approximation of the true informative lower SCI-bounds is.
