		Gamma Frailty Regression Models with Multiple Baseline
		Distributions // Implements univariate gamma frailty regression
		models for survival data with six different baseline
		distributions: the Arvind distribution (Pandey et al., 2024),
		the Lindley distribution (Lindley, 1958), the Linear Failure
		Rate distribution (Bain, 1974), the Power Xgamma distribution
		(Tyagi et al., 2022), the Modified Topp-Leone distribution
		(Singh et al., 2025), and the Power Failure Rate distribution
		(Mugdadi, 2005). The package supports uncensored (complete) and
		censored data (right, left, interval, and progressive
		censoring) with and without covariates. It provides maximum
		likelihood estimation, standard errors, confidence intervals,
		t-statistics, p-values, Akaike Information Criterion (AIC),
		Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), a bootstrap approximation
		of the Widely Applicable Information Criterion (WAIC), k-fold
		cross-validation, variance inflation factors, R-squared,
		adjusted R-squared, Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute
		Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), an overall model
		F-test, frailty variance estimation, survival probabilities at
		user-specified time points, median survival, expected survival
		within a fixed window, risk predictions, marginal predictions,
		martingale and deviance residuals, standardized and studentized
		residuals, leverage values, Cook's distance, Difference in Fits
		(DFFITS), Difference in Betas (DFBETAS), and a comprehensive
		suite of diagnostic and survival plots including Kaplan-Meier
		overlays and coefficient forest plots. Random number generation
		is available for each baseline distribution and the full
		frailty model, and a simulation study function evaluates
		parameter recovery across sample sizes and censoring scenarios.
