Beta Regression for Interval-Censored Scale-Derived Outcomes

Maximum-likelihood estimation of beta regression models for responses derived from bounded rating scales. Observations are treated as interval-censored on (0, 1) after a scale-to-unit transformation, and the likelihood is built from the difference of the beta CDF at the interval endpoints. The complete likelihood supports mixed censoring types: uncensored, left-censored, right-censored, and interval-censored observations. Both fixed- and variable-dispersion submodels are supported, with flexible link functions for the mean and precision components. A compiled C++ backend (via 'Rcpp' and 'RcppArmadillo') provides numerically stable, high-performance log-likelihood evaluation. Standard S3 methods (print(), summary(), coef(), fitted(), residuals(), predict(), plot(), confint(), vcov(), logLik(), AIC(), BIC()) are available for fitted objects.
