		Calculate Herd Lying Concordance Metrics // Calculates Herd Lying
		Concordance (HLC) metrics from individual animal lying-
		behaviour data. HLC is a continuous framework for quantifying
		group-level behavioural cohesion from between-animal dispersion
		within observation intervals. The package implements standard
		deviation, mean absolute deviation, interquartile range, and
		entropy formulations, lying-weighted extensions, threshold-
		based synchrony comparisons, temporal summaries, and
		descriptive method-ranking tools. The HLC formulations are
		introduced in this package; related approaches to cattle
		behavioural synchrony include Raussi et al. (2011)

		doi:10.1016/j.applanim.2023.105906, and the activity metric
		framework of van Dixhoorn et al. (2024)
