		Maximum Likelihood Estimation for k-Out-of-n System Data //
		Maximum likelihood estimation of component lifetime parameters
		from system-level observations of k-out-of-n systems. Supports
		exponential and Weibull component distributions under multiple
		observation schemes: Scheme 0 (system lifetime only), Scheme 1
		(periodic inspection), and Scheme 2 (complete monitoring).
		Provides an EM algorithm for Weibull parallel systems and
		Fisher information comparison across schemes. The k-out-of-n
		framework unifies series (k=1) and parallel (k=m) systems as a
		censoring problem on component lifetimes. Conforms to the
		'likelihood.model' generics and returns fitted objects
		compatible with 'algebraic.mle'. The data-generating process
		and topology infrastructure (system survival, density,
		signature, structure function, importance measures) are
		delegated to the 'dist.structure' package; 'kofn' focuses
		exclusively on inference for the k-out-of-n family.
