		Extreme Value Modeling for r-Largest Order Statistics // Tools
		for extreme value modeling based on the r-largest order
		statistics framework. The package provides functions for
		parameter estimation via maximum likelihood, return level
		estimation with standard errors, profile likelihood-based
		confidence intervals, random sample generation, and entropy
		difference tests for selecting the number of order statistics
		r. Several r-largest order statistics models are implemented,
		including the four-parameter kappa (rK4D), generalized logistic
		(rGLO), generalized Gumbel (rGGD), logistic (rLD), and Gumbel
		(rGD) distributions. The rK4D methodology is described in Shin
		et al. (2022) doi:10.1016/j.wace.2022.100533, the rGLO model in
		Shin and Park (2024) doi:10.1007/s00477-023-02642-7, and the
		rGGD model in Shin and Park (2025)
		doi:10.1038/s41598-024-83273-y. The underlying distributions
		are related to the kappa distribution of Hosking (1994)
		doi:10.1017/CBO9780511529443, the generalized logistic
		distribution discussed by Ahmad et al. (1988)
		doi:10.1016/0022-1694(88)90015-7, and the generalized Gumbel
		distribution of Jeong et al. (2014)
		doi:10.1007/s00477-014-0865-8. Penalized likelihood approaches
		for extreme value estimation follow Martins and Stedinger
		(2000) doi:10.1029/1999WR900330 and Coles and Dixon (1999)
		doi:10.1023/A:1009905222644. Selection of r is supported using
		methods discussed in Bader et al. (2017)
		doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9697-3. The package is intended for
		hydrological, climatological, and environmental extreme value
		analysis.
