Description: 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),
