New rootSolve causes failure

[yfyang86]

Verison: 0.2+ BUG: root solving procedure causes -2LLR to be negative.

The potential issue is that rootSolve package changes in the past.

After revision, in this case, lambda should meet the following requirements:

1. sum(prob) = 1

therefore, for the rootSolve(.) function. we need to check the root that:

1. in the branch that contains 0
2. satisfies sum(RMSTfun(time) * prob) == 1

An older version checks this, but the newer one fails.

The next version will fix this.
