		Density Estimation for Point-Centered Quarter Method with
		Truncated Sampling // Implements a systematic methodology for
		estimating population density from point-centered quarter
		method (PCQM) surveys when distance measurements are truncated
		by a maximum search radius (right-censored). The package
		provides a unified framework for analyzing such incomplete
		data, addressing both completely randomly distributed (Poisson)
		and spatially aggregated (Negative Binomial) populations. Key
		features include: (1) Adjusted moment-based density estimators
		for censored distances; (2) Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE)
		of density under the Poisson (CSR) model; and (3) Simultaneous
		MLE of density and an aggregation parameter under the Negative
		Binomial model. For more details, see Huang, Shen, Xing, and
		Zhao (2026) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.08276.
