		Fast Functional Generalized Estimating Equations via a One-Step
		Estimator // Fits functional generalized estimating equations
		for longitudinal functional outcomes and covariates using a
		one-step estimator that is fast even for large cluster sizes or
		large numbers of clusters. The package supports quasi-
		likelihoods derived from a range of families, common link
		functions, and several working correlation structures.
		Uncertainty quantification is based on sandwich variance
		estimators and bootstrap procedures that remain valid even when
		the working correlation is incorrectly specified. The package
		provides an implementation of the method described in Loewinger
		et al. (2025)
		https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12306803/. For
		irregularly spaced AR(1) precision matrices, the package can
		optionally use the archived package 'irregulAR1'; if needed, it
		can be obtained from the CRAN Archive at
		https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/irregulAR1/.
