		Generalized Stress-Strength Reliability Estimation Under
		Censoring Schemes // Generalized framework for data generation,
		Maximum Likelihood Estimation, and Bayesian estimation of
		stress-strength reliability R = P(Y  X) for arbitrary
		continuous distributions under censoring schemes based on
		Chapter 9 of 'Balakrishnan', 'Cramer', and 'Kundu' (2023)
		ISBN:978-0-12-398387-9. Users provide probability density
		functions, cumulative distribution functions, survival
		functions, support bounds, parameter ranges, and sample sizes.
		Implements data generation under Type-I, Type-II, progressive
		Type-II, Type-I hybrid, Type-II hybrid, generalized hybrid,
		progressive hybrid, joint, block random, middle, and truncation
		censoring schemes, accompanied by diagnostic histograms, dot
		plots, and autocorrelation plots. Maximum Likelihood Estimation
		supports optimization routines including 'Newton-Raphson',
		'Broyden'-'Fletcher'-'Goldfarb'-'Shanno' ('BFGS'), 'BFGS' in R
		('BFGSR'), 'Berndt'-'Hall'-'Hall'-'Hausman' ('BHHH'), Simulated
		Annealing ('SANN'), Conjugate Gradients ('CG'), and
		'Nelder'-'Mead' ('NM'), returning summaries ('AIC', 'coef',
		'logLik', 'nIter', 'stdEr', summary, 'vcov'). Bayesian
		estimation of stress-strength reliability R = P(Y  X) is
		performed via Gibbs sampling, Metropolis-Hastings algorithm,
		Importance Sampling, and 'Lindley' approximation (1980).
		Methods and censoring schemes are described in 'Balakrishnan',
		'Cramer', and 'Kundu' (2023, ISBN:978-0-12-398387-9), 'Lindley'
