		Bivariate Laplace Transforms, Stochastic Orders, and Entropy
		Measures in Reliability // Implements methods for bivariate and
		univariate Laplace transforms of residual lives and reversed
		residual lives, associated stochastic ordering concepts, and
		entropy measures for reliability analysis. The package covers:
		(1) Bivariate Laplace transform of residual lives and
		stochastic comparisons based on the bivariate Laplace transform
		order of residual lives (BLt-rl), including weak bivariate
		hazard rate, mean residual life, and relative mean residual
		life orders, nonparametric estimation, and NBUHR/NWUHR aging
		class characterisation; Jayalekshmi, Rajesh, and Nair (2022)
		"Bivariate Laplace Transform of Residual Lives and Their
		Properties" doi:10.1080/03610926.2022.2085874; (2) Bivariate
		Laplace transform order of reversed residual lives (BLt-Rrl),
		reversed hazard gradient, reversed mean residual life, and the
		associated stochastic orders (weak bivariate reversed hazard
		rate, weak bivariate reversed mean residual life); Jayalekshmi,
		Rajesh, and Nair (2022) "Bivariate Laplace Transform Order and
		Ordering of Reversed Residual Lives"
		doi:10.1142/S0218539322500061; (3) Univariate Laplace transform
		of residual life, hazard rate, mean residual life, and the
		corresponding stochastic orders (Lt-rl order, hazard rate
		order, MRL order), together with a nonparametric estimator.
		Shannon entropy and Golomb's (1966) information generating
		function are also provided. Parametric families supported
		include the Gumbel bivariate exponential, Farlie-Gumbel-
		Morgenstern (FGM), bivariate power, and Schur-constant
		distributions. Plotting utilities and a simulation framework
		for evaluating estimator performance are also provided.
