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), Shafay and
