Description: 
    Implements a systematic methodology for estimating population density from
    point-centered quarter method (PCQM) surveys when distance measurements are
    truncated by a maximum search radius (right-censored). The package provides
    a unified framework for analyzing such incomplete data, addressing both
    completely randomly distributed (Poisson) and spatially aggregated
    (Negative Binomial) populations. Key features include: (1) Adjusted
    moment-based density estimators for censored distances; (2) Maximum
    likelihood estimation (MLE) of density under the Poisson (CSR) model; and
    (3) Simultaneous MLE of density and an aggregation parameter under the
    Negative Binomial model. For more details, see Huang, Shen, Xing, and Zhao
