Recent Changes (2026-04)

• Added support for lognormal threshold link-distributions in GPD workflows, including spliced backend behavior.
• Improved initialization for stability with covariate-aware threshold/link seeding and stronger latent label starts.
• Added CRP retry logic for rare all--Inf initialization failures during MCMC startup.
• Updated wrappers/tests/manuscript examples to align with the new threshold-link and initialization behavior.
