Description: Tools for causal structure learning from observational data, with emphasis on temporally
    ordered variables. The package implements the Temporal Peter–Clark (TPC) algorithm
    (Petersen, Osler & Ekstrøm, 2021; <doi:10.1093/aje/kwab087>), the Temporal Greedy
    Equivalence Search (TGES) algorithm (Larsen, Ekstrøm & Petersen, 2025; <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2502.06232>)
    and Temporal Fast Causal Inference (TFCI). It provides a unified framework for specifying background
    knowledge, which can be incorporated into the implemented algorithms from the R packages 'bnlearn'
    (Scutari, 2010; <doi:10.18637/jss.v035.i03>) and 'pcalg' (Kalish et al., 2012; <doi:10.18637/jss.v047.i11>),
    as well as the Java library 'Tetrad' (Scheines et al., 1998; <doi:10.1207/s15327906mbr3301_3>).
    The package further includes utilities for visualization, comparison, and evaluation of graph
    structures, facilitating performance evaluation and methodological studies.
