The Modified Epigraph Index of a curve x is one minus the proportion of
"time" the curves in the sample are above x.

Implements methods for functional data analysis based on the epigraph
and hypograph indices. These methods transform
functional datasets, whether in one or multiple dimensions, into multivariate
datasets. The transformation involves applying the epigraph, hypograph, and
their modified versions to both the original curves and their first and second
derivatives. The calculation of these indices is tailored to the dimensionality
of the functional dataset, with special considerations for dependencies between
dimensions in multidimensional cases. This approach extends traditional multivariate
data analysis techniques to the functional data setting. A key application of
this package is the EHyClus method, which enhances clustering analysis for
functional data across one or multiple dimensions using the epigraph and
hypograph indices. See Pulido et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10213-7>
