		Point and Interval Prediction for Censored Data under Various
		Hybrid Censoring Schemes // Implements generalized statistical
		point prediction and prediction intervals for future failure
		times under various hybrid censoring schemes. Supported
		censoring schemes include Type-I, Type-II, Generalized Type-I,
		Generalized Type-II, Unified, Progressive Type-I, and
		Progressive Type-II hybrid censoring schemes. Available
		prediction methods include Best Unbiased Predictor (BUP),
		Conditional Median Predictor (CMP), Maximum Likelihood
		Predictor (MLP), equal-tailed classical prediction intervals,
		Highest Conditional Density (HCD) prediction intervals, and
		Bayesian prediction intervals. Algorithms accept user-defined
		continuous probability density functions, cumulative
		distribution functions, quantile functions, or survival
		functions along with estimated parameter values. Methodological
		foundations are based on Balakrishnan, Cramer, and Kundu (2023,
		ISBN:978-0123983879), Shafay and Balakrishnan (2012)
