I think if you read that paper you will see mention in there of the
techniques described in chapter 6 of Bates and Watts (Wiley, 1988).
Although the mention is to say that that the Cook and Weisberg
technique is quite different, it is, in fact, exactly the same as
that described in Bates and Watts.

The function plot.profile.nls in the nls library produces plots of the
profile t function or its absolute value.  Try

 example(plot.profile.nls)
