Description: Estimates the historic date of extinction of a species from a
    time-ordered record of sighting events. Given a table of sighting counts
    per year, computes extinction date estimators from the sighting-record
    literature: optimal linear estimation and its Weibull extreme-value
    persistence test (Roberts & Solow, 2003; Solow, 2005), constant-rate and
    declining-rate persistence tests (Solow, 1993), a sighting-rate persistence
    test comparable across records with different observation periods
    (McInerny, Roberts, Davy & Cribb, 2006), a classical confidence interval
    on the end of a temporal range (Strauss & Sadler, 1989), a
    truncation-point extrapolation (Robson & Whitlock, 1964), and a
    combinatorial persistence test based on inclusion-exclusion over
    sighting-gap occupancy (Burgman, Grimson & Ferson, 1995). Also implements
    a nonparametric endpoint test (Solow & Roberts, 2003), a sighting-interval
    trend index (Jarić & Ebenhard, 2010), and reliability-adjusted inference
    for uncertain records (Jarić & Roberts, 2014). Every estimator is built on
    a validated input object and returns a common result class with, where
    defined, a point estimate, a confidence interval, or a full p-value curve.
