abstract: High-performance parameter estimation, uncertainty quantification, and inverse
  modelling toolkit built on modernised PEST++ algorithms. Provides native R interfaces
  to iterative ensemble smoothers (IES), Gauss-Levenberg-Marquardt (GLM) solvers,
  global sensitivity analysis, and multi-objective optimisation under uncertainty.
  Includes surrogate-accelerated IES via Gaussian Process and Random Fourier Features,
  adaptive SVD backends (randomised SVD, LAPACK, Eigen), and convergence-aware adaptive
  ensemble sizing. Designed for large-scale environmental, hydrological, and agricultural
  models with support for highly-parameterised problems (>100,000 parameters).
