		General Dynamic Parameter Models via Reference Anchoring //
		Implements a unified predictive framework in which individual
		parameters are decomposed as theta_i equal to theta_ref plus
		Delta(x_i, theta_ref), with theta_ref a population reference
		and Delta an explicit deviation function. The decomposition
		follows the Additive-Multiplicative-Modulated canonical form
		and is estimated through three complementary paths:
		hierarchical Bayesian inference via 'Stan', varying-coefficient
		models via penalized splines, and amortized inference via
		hypernetworks in 'torch'. The package provides identifiability
		diagnostics, validity tests for the population reference, and
		benchmarks against canonical zero-inflated count datasets and
		avian abundance data from the eBird Status and Trends project.
		The framework and its estimation paths are described in Gomez
