Description: Provides bridge equations with optional autoregressive
        terms for nowcasting low-frequency macroeconomic variables
        (e.g. quarterly GDP) from higher-frequency indicators (e.g.
        monthly retail sales). Handles the ragged-edge problem where
        different indicators have different publication lags via
        mixed-frequency alignment. Includes pseudo-real-time evaluation
        with expanding or rolling windows, and the Diebold-Mariano test
        for comparing forecast accuracy following Harvey, Leybourne,
        and Newbold (1997) <doi:10.1016/S0169-2070(96)00719-4>. No API
        calls; designed to work with data from any source.
