		Hydro Time Analysis of Seed Germination // Dry seed germinates by
		imbibing water from soil where the physiological process of
		germination starts after sufficient water has been imbibed by
		the seed. The germination time of the seed is inversely
		proportion to the difference between soil water potential and
		the base seed water potential which is described by hydro time
		model (Bradford, 2002 https://www.jstor.org/stable/4046371).
		The parameters of the model like speed of germination, stress
		tolerance, uniformity of germination are unknown fixed values
		(Ghosh et al., 2026 doi:10.1111/aab.70041) which are to be
		estimated using statistical regression model where the validity
		of the adopted statistical  model has been established
		theoretically. The package will help to estimate the tuning
		parameter for proportion of viable seeds along with standard
		error and p- values for inference.
