		Robust Trend-Cycle Decomposition for Macroeconomic Time Series //
		Provides high-performance tools for macroeconomic trend
		extraction and filtering, specifically designed to solve the
		end-point problem in real-time. Implements the MacroBoost
		Hybrid (MBH) filter using penalized P-splines and gradient
		boosting. Unlike the standard Hodrick-Prescott filter,
		'MacroFilters' utilizes component-wise L2-boosting with robust
		loss functions (Huber) to handle extreme transient shocks
		(e.g., COVID-19) without inducing spurious trend shifts. The
		algorithm includes an automated two-layer diagnostic stage for
		unit roots and structural breaks, optimized via corrected AICc
		for computational efficiency. Methodology detailed in Kinel
		(2026) doi:10.2139/ssrn.6371138.
