Description: Calculates Herd Lying Concordance (HLC) metrics from
        individual animal lying-behaviour data. HLC is a continuous
        framework for quantifying group-level behavioural cohesion from
        between-animal dispersion within observation intervals. The
        package implements standard deviation, mean absolute deviation,
        interquartile range, and entropy formulations, lying-weighted
        extensions, threshold-based synchrony comparisons, temporal
        summaries, and descriptive method-ranking tools. The HLC
        formulations are introduced in this package; related approaches
        to cattle behavioural synchrony include Raussi et al. (2011)

        <doi:10.1016/j.applanim.2023.105906>, and the activity metric
        framework of van Dixhoorn et al. (2024)
