estimate_mv_moments

Helper function to estimate moment vectors/matrices for observations within
a group

Provides a suite of helper functions to support Bayesian Kernel
Machine Regression (BKMR) analyses in environmental health research. It
enables the simulation of realistic multivariate exposure data using
Multivariate Skewed Gamma distributions, estimation of distributional
parameters by subgroup, and application of adaptive, data-driven thresholds
for feature selection via Posterior Inclusion Probabilities (PIPs). It is
especially suited for handling skewed exposure data and enhancing the
interpretability of BKMR results through principled variable selection. The
methodology is shown in Hasan et. al. (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.04.14.25325822>.
