Description: Latent group structures are a common challenge in panel
        data analysis. Disregarding group-level heterogeneity can
        introduce bias. Conversely, estimating individual coefficients
        for each cross-sectional unit is inefficient and may lead to
        high uncertainty. This package addresses the issue of
        unobservable group structures by implementing the pairwise
        adaptive group fused Lasso (PAGFL) by Mehrabani (2023)
        <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.12.002>. PAGFL identifies latent
        group structures and group-specific coefficients in a single
        step. On top of that, we extend the PAGFL to time-varying
        coefficient functions (FUSE-TIME), following Haimerl et al.
        (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.23165>.
