Description: Implementation of the SIC epsilon-telescope method, either
    using single or distributional (multiparameter) regression. Includes classical regression
    with normally distributed errors and robust regression, where the errors are from
    the Laplace distribution. The "smooth generalized normal distribution" is used,
    where the estimation of an additional shape parameter allows the user to move
    smoothly between both types of regression. See O'Neill and Burke (2022)
    "Robust Distributional Regression with Automatic Variable Selection" for more details.

    Burke (2023). "Variable selection using a smooth information criterion for distributional
    regression models". <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10204-8>.
