		Generalized Inference and Data Generation for Adaptive
		Progressive Hybrid Censoring Schemes // Comprehensive
		computational tools for data generation, statistical inference,
		and visual diagnostics under Adaptive Type-I and Adaptive Type-
		II Progressive Hybrid Censoring Schemes. Users can supply
		custom probability density functions (PDF), cumulative
		distribution functions (CDF), survival functions, parameter
		ranges, and progressive schemes for any univariate lifetime
		distribution. Parameter estimation methods include Maximum
		Likelihood Estimation (MLE) using multiple optimization
		algorithms (Newton-Raphson (NR), Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-
		Shanno (BFGS), BFGS in R (BFGSR), Berndt-Hall-Hall-Hausman
		(BHHH), Simulated Annealing (SANN), Conjugate Gradients (CG),
		and Nelder-Mead (NM)), Bayesian estimation via Gibbs and
		Metropolis-Hastings (M-H) MCMC sampling, Importance Sampling
		(IS), and Lindley's approximation. Diagnostic tools provide
		histograms, dot plots, and autocorrelation function (ACF) plots
		for model validation. Methods are based on Balakrishnan,
		Cramer, and Kundu (2023, ISBN:978-0-12-398387-9), Ng, Kundu,
		and Chan (2009, IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 58, 634-642),
		Lin and Huang (2012, Journal of Statistical Computation and
		Simulation, 82, 1005-1018), Lindley (1980, Journal of the Royal
		Statistical Society, Series B, 42, 223-237), and Berndt, Hall,
		Hall, and Hausman (1974, Annals of Economic and Social
		Measurement, 3, 653-665).
