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

     This is an internal function that computes the maximum likelihood
     estimates of precision for the constant bias model using paired
     data.

       v: Variance-Covariance matrix for the n x N items by methods
          measurement data. 

       r: Initial estimates of imprecision, usually Grubbs. 

      ni: No. of items measured.
