Description: Implements the autorelevated family of probability
        distributions, obtained by applying the autorelevation
        transformation of Krakowski (1973)
        <doi:10.1051/ro/197307V201071> and Dileepkumar and Sankaran
        (2022) to ten baseline probability distributions: Weibull,
        Lomax, Burr XII, Gompertz, Log-Logistic, Chen, Exponentiated
        Exponential, Power Lindley, Log-normal, and Gamma. The Weibull
        member of the family is studied in detail by Dileep Kumar,
        Shabeer, and Sankaran (2025)
        <doi:10.1080/01966324.2026.2665479>. The Lomax member is
        studied by Sharma, Pal, Bhardwaj, and Tyagi (2026, submitted),
        who establish its upside-down bathtub hazard shape. Supplies
        vectorized density, distribution, survival, hazard, quantile
        (via the negative branch of the Lambert W function), and
        random-generation functions for all ten members of the family.
        It also implements Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Product of
        Spacings, Least Squares, Weighted Least Squares, and Cramer-von
        Mises estimation methods along with a Kolmogorov-Smirnov
        goodness-of-fit test, a Total Time on Test plot, and model
        selection by AIC, BIC, CAIC, and HQIC. It also includes a
        bundled bladder cancer remission dataset (Lee and Wang, 2003)
        for illustration.
