Description: Fitting, simulation, and inference for antedependence models for
    longitudinal data, as described in Zimmerman and Nunez-Anton (2009,
    ISBN:9781420011074). Supports integer-valued antedependence (INAD) models
    for count data with thinning operators (binomial, Poisson, negative binomial)
    and flexible innovation distributions (Poisson, Bell, negative binomial),
    categorical antedependence models for discrete-state longitudinal outcomes,
    and Gaussian antedependence (AD) models for continuous data. Implements
    maximum likelihood estimation via time-separable optimization and block
    coordinate descent, with confidence intervals based on Louis' identity and
    profile likelihood.
