title: 'ghcclm: Generalized Hybrid Contrast Coding in Linear Models'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.ghcclm
abstract: 'Implements generalized hybrid contrast coding methods for K-level categorical
  predictors in linear models as established by Obulezi (2026)[cite: 3]. The package
  automates design matrix construction mixing dummy indicators and composite group
  contrasts, checks rank constraints via singular value decomposition, computes closed-form
  OLS parameter mappings, and estimates robust heteroscedastic covariance matrices[cite:
  3].'
