Description: Fits and analyzes linear latent non-Gaussian models for
        temporal, spatial, and space-time data. The package provides
        model components for autoregressive and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck
        processes, random walks, Matern fields based on stochastic
        partial differential equations, separable and non-separable
        space-time models, graph-based Matern models, bivariate type-G
        fields, and user-defined sparse operators. Latent fields and
        observation models can use Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise
        distributions, including normal inverse Gaussian, generalized
        asymmetric Laplace, and skew-t distributions. Functions are
        included for simulation, likelihood-based estimation,
        prediction, cross-validation, convergence diagnostics,
        stochastic gradient optimization, batch-means confidence
        intervals, and posterior-like sampling. The modeling framework
        is described in Bolin, Jin, Simas and Wallin (2026) "A Unified
        and Computationally Efficient Non-Gaussian Statistical Modeling
        Framework" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.23987>.
