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.
