Description: Fits two-equation simultaneous models in the style of
        Lillard (1993) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(93)90106-F>: a pair of
        processes, each either a binary probit outcome or a
        continuous-time hazard duration, linked through a single
        correlation parameter between their underlying error terms and
        estimated jointly by maximum likelihood via a Gaussian copula.
        Equation 1 may be a probit, a log-normal
        accelerated-failure-time hazard, or a piecewise
        (linear-log-hazard) Gompertz hazard with an arbitrary,
        user-specified number of segments; equation 2 is always a
        hazard, log-normal or piecewise Gompertz. Models can also be
        fit under independence (correlation fixed at zero), which
        reduces exactly to two separate univariate fits. See the
        package vignette/manual for the full likelihood derivation and
        a simulation-based verification.
