		Finite Mixture of Censored Regression Models with Skewed
		Distributions // Provides an implementation of finite mixture
		regression models for censored data under four distributional
		families: Normal (FM-NCR), Student t (FM-TCR), skew-Normal (FM-
		SNCR), and skew-t (FM-STCR). The package enables flexible
		modeling of skewness and heavy tails often observed in real-
		world data, while explicitly accounting for censoring.
		Functions are included for parameter estimation via the
		Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, computation of
		standard errors, and model comparison criteria such as the
		Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the Bayesian Information
		Criterion (BIC), and the Efficient Determination Criterion
		(EDC). The underlying methodology is described in Park et al.
