Description: Estimates the historic date of extinction of a species from a
    time-ordered record of sighting events. Given a table of sighting counts
    per year, computes extinction date estimators from the sighting-record
    literature: optimal linear estimation under a record-value model
    (Roberts & Solow, 2003), nonparametric and sighting-effort-weighted
    persistence tests (Solow, 1993; Solow, 2005), a sighting-rate persistence
    test comparable across records with different observation periods
    (McInerny, Roberts, Davy & Cribb, 2006), a classical confidence interval
    on the end of a temporal range (Strauss & Sadler, 1989), a
    truncation-point extrapolation (Robson & Whitlock, 1964), and a
    combinatorial persistence test based on inclusion-exclusion over
    sighting-gap occupancy (Burgman, Grimson & Ferson, 1995). Every
    estimator is built on a single validated input object and returns a
    common result class with, where defined, a point estimate, a confidence
    interval, or a full persistence-probability curve.
