		A General Framework for Bayesian Estimation Using the
		'Tierney'-'Kadane' Approximation // Provides a distribution-
		independent framework for Bayesian estimation of arbitrary
		univariate probability models using the 'Tierney'-'Kadane'
		approximation ('Tierney'  'Kadane', 1986
		doi:10.1080/01621459.1986.10478240). Users specify the
		probability distribution, likelihood, prior distributions, and
		censoring mechanism, while the package automatically constructs
		the posterior distribution, computes posterior modes and
		Hessian matrices, approximates posterior expectations under
		several Bayesian loss functions, and returns Bayesian parameter
		estimates, posterior covariance matrices, credible intervals,
		diagnostic plots, and model comparison statistics. Supports
		complete, right-, left-, interval-, Type-I, Type-II,
		progressive Type-II, hybrid, and doubly censored data
		('Lawless', 2003 ISBN:978-0-471-37215-8; 'Meeker'  'Escobar',
		1998 ISBN:978-0-471-14328-4; 'Balakrishnan'  'Aggarwala', 2000
		ISBN:978-0-8176-4129-0; 'Kundu'  'Pradhan', 2009
		doi:10.1198/TECH.2009.0019), making it a flexible tool for
		Bayesian reliability, survival, and lifetime data analysis.
