		Five Novel Stochastic Regression Models with Arvind-Distributed
		Errors and Effects // Implements the 'Arvind' distribution and
		five novel stochastic regression models that replace the
		traditional Gaussian error assumption with 'Arvind'-distributed
		errors. The 'Arvind' distribution is a flexible single-
		parameter continuous distribution on the positive real line
		characterised by a polynomial numerator with Gaussian-type
		decay. The package provides complete distribution functions
		(darvind(), parvind(), qarvind(), rarvind()), maximum
		likelihood estimation via fit_arvind_mle(), and five model-
		fitting routines: Random Walk on Coefficients via fit_rw1(),
		Time-Varying Coefficient Linear Model via fit_tvlm(),
		Simulation-Extrapolation via fit_simex(), Mixed-Effects
		Regression via fit_mixed(), and Regime-Switching Hidden Markov
		Model via fit_hmm(). Additionally provides Monte Carlo
		forecasting with prediction intervals via forecast_arvind(),
		comprehensive goodness-of-fit diagnostics (21 metrics and 25
		plots) via diagnostics_arvind() and plot_arvind(), k-fold and
		rolling-window cross-validation via cv_arvind(), and unified
		model comparison via summary_arvind(). For more details see
		Pandey, Singh, Tyagi, and Tyagi (2024), "Modelling climate,
		COVID-19, and reliability data: A new continuous lifetime model
		under different methods of estimation", 'Statistics and
		Applications', 22(2).
