		Winsorized ARMA Estimation for Higher-Order Stochastic Volatility
		Models // Estimation, simulation, hypothesis testing, AR-order
		selection, and forecasting for univariate higher-order
		stochastic volatility SV(p) models. Supports Gaussian,
		Student-t, and Generalized Error Distribution (GED)
		innovations, with optional leverage effects. Estimation uses
		closed-form Winsorized ARMA-SV (W-ARMA-SV) moment-based methods
		that avoid numerical optimization. Hypothesis testing includes
		Local Monte Carlo (LMC) and Maximized Monte Carlo (MMC)
		procedures for leverage effects, heavy tails, and
		autoregressive order. AR-order selection is also available via
		information criteria (BIC/AIC) using the Kalman-filter quasi-
		likelihood and the Hannan-Rissanen ARMA residual variance.
		Forecasting is based on Kalman filtering and smoothing. See
