		Disease Intensity and Progress Curve Indices for Plant Pathology
		// Provides standardised functions for quantifying plant
		disease intensity and disease development over time. The
		package implements Percent Disease Index (PDI) for assessing
		overall disease severity based on categorical ratings, Area
		Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) for summarizing
		disease progression using trapezoidal integration, and Relative
		AUDPC (rAUDPC) for expressing disease development relative to
		the maximum possible severity over the observation period.
		These indices are widely used in plant pathology and
		epidemiology for comparing treatments, cultivars, and
		environments.
