		Modified Hodrick-Prescott Filter with Optimal Smoothing Parameter
		Selection // High-performance implementation of the Modified
		Hodrick-Prescott (HP) Filter for decomposing macroeconomic time
		series into trend and cyclical components. Based on the
		methodology of Choudhary, Hanif and Iqbal (2014)
		doi:10.1080/00036846.2014.894631 "On smoothing macroeconomic
		time series using the modified HP filter", which uses
		generalized cross-validation (GCV) to automatically select the
		optimal smoothing parameter lambda, following McDermott (1997)
		"An automatic method for choosing the smoothing parameter in
		the HP filter" (as described in Coe and McDermott (1997)
		doi:10.2307/3867497). Unlike the standard HP filter that uses
		fixed lambda values (1600 for quarterly, 100 for annual data),
		this package estimates series-specific lambda values that
		minimize the GCV criterion. Implements efficient C++ routines
		via 'RcppArmadillo' for fast computation, supports batch
		processing of multiple series, and provides comprehensive
		visualization tools using 'ggplot2'. Particularly useful for
		cross-country macroeconomic comparisons, business cycle
		analysis, and when the appropriate smoothing parameter is
		uncertain.
