Description: Implements the Beta Kernel Process (BKP) for nonparametric
        modeling of covariate-dependent binomial probabilities, and the
        Dirichlet Kernel Process (DKP) for categorical or multinomial
        response data. Scalable global-local approximations are
        provided through TwinBKP and TwinDKP, using twinning-selected
        global subsets and local nearest-neighbour updates. Functions
        are included for model fitting, predictive inference with
        uncertainty quantification, posterior simulation, and
        visualization in one- and two-dimensional input spaces.
        Gaussian, Matern 5/2, Matern 3/2, and Wendland kernels are
        supported, with hyperparameters selected by multi-start
        derivative-free optimization. For more details, see Zhao, Qing,
        and Xu (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.10447>.
