Description: Implements the five-parameter Generalized Kumaraswamy
        ('gkw') distribution proposed by 'Carrasco, Ferrari and
        Cordeiro (2010)' <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1004.0911> and its seven
        nested sub-families for modeling bounded continuous data on the
        unit interval (0,1). The 'gkw' distribution extends the
        Kumaraswamy distribution described by Jones (2009)
        <doi:10.1016/j.stamet.2008.04.001>. Provides density,
        distribution, quantile, and random generation functions, along
        with analytical log-likelihood, gradient, and Hessian functions
        implemented in 'C++' via 'RcppArmadillo' for maximum
        computational efficiency. Suitable for modeling proportions,
        rates, percentages, and indices exhibiting complex features
        such as asymmetry, or heavy tails and other shapes not
        adequately captured by standard distributions like simple Beta
        or Kumaraswamy.
