Functions for the g-and-k and generalised g-and-h distributions.

Implementations of the treatment effect estimators for hybrid (self-selection) experiments, as developed by Brian J. Gaines and James H. Kuklinski, (2011), "Experimental Estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Related to Self-Selection," American Journal of Political Science 55(3): 724-736.

A simple way to interact with and extract data from
  the official 'Google Knowledge Graph' API <https://developers.google.com/knowledge-graph/>.

Imports the 'gkmSVM' v2.0 functionalities into R <https://www.beerlab.org/gkmsvm/>
    It also uses the 'kernlab' library (separate R package by different authors) for various SVM algorithms.
    Users should note that the suggested packages 'rtracklayer', 'GenomicRanges', 'BSgenome', 'BiocGenerics', 
    'Biostrings', 'GenomeInfoDb', 'IRanges', and 'S4Vectors' are all BioConductor packages <https://bioconductor.org>.

Kernel regularized least squares, also known as kernel ridge regression, 
    is a flexible machine learning method. This package implements this method by 
    providing a smooth term for use with 'mgcv' and uses random sketching to 
    facilitate scalable estimation on large datasets. It provides additional 
    functions for calculating marginal effects after estimation and for use with 
    ensembles ('SuperLearning'), double/debiased machine learning ('DoubleML'), 
    and robust/clustered standard errors ('sandwich'). Chang and Goplerud (2024)
    <doi:10.1017/pan.2023.27> provide further details.

Implements regression models for bounded continuous data in the open interval (0,1) using the five-parameter Generalized Kumaraswamy distribution. Supports modeling all distribution parameters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, lambda) as functions of predictors through various link functions. Provides efficient maximum likelihood estimation via Template Model Builder ('TMB'), offering comprehensive diagnostics, model comparison tools, and simulation methods. Particularly useful for analyzing proportions, rates, indices, and other bounded response data with complex distributional features not adequately captured by simpler models.
