+/// Configuration options for the DeepAR (Deep Autoregressive) model.
+///
+/// The numeric type used for calculations (typically double or float).
+///
+///
+/// DeepAR is a probabilistic forecasting methodology based on autoregressive recurrent neural networks.
+/// Unlike traditional methods that provide point forecasts, DeepAR produces probabilistic forecasts
+/// that include prediction intervals. It's particularly effective for:
+/// - Handling multiple related time series simultaneously
+/// - Cold-start problems (forecasting for new items with limited history)
+/// - Capturing complex seasonal patterns and trends
+/// - Quantifying forecast uncertainty
+///
+/// For Beginners: DeepAR is an advanced forecasting model that not only predicts
+/// what will happen, but also how confident it is in those predictions. Instead of saying
+/// "sales will be exactly 100 units," it might say "sales will likely be between 80 and 120 units,
+/// with 100 being most probable."
+///
+/// This is especially useful when:
+/// - You need to plan for worst-case and best-case scenarios
+/// - You have many related time series (e.g., sales across many stores)
+/// - You have some series with very little historical data
+///
+/// The "autoregressive" part means it uses its own predictions as inputs for future predictions,
+/// and "deep" refers to the use of deep neural networks (specifically, LSTM networks).

+
+///
+/// Implements LSTM-VAE (Long Short-Term Memory Variational Autoencoder) for anomaly detection.
+///
+/// The numeric type used for calculations (e.g., float, double).
+///
+///
+/// LSTM-VAE combines the sequential modeling capabilities of LSTMs with the probabilistic
+/// framework of Variational Autoencoders. It learns a compressed latent representation
+/// of normal time series patterns and detects anomalies as points with high reconstruction error.
+///
+///
+/// Key components:
+/// - LSTM Encoder: Compresses time series into latent space
+/// - Latent Space: Probabilistic representation (mean and variance)
+/// - LSTM Decoder: Reconstructs time series from latent representation
+/// - Anomaly Detection: Based on reconstruction error and KL divergence
+///
+/// For Beginners: LSTM-VAE is like a compression and decompression system for time series:
+/// 1. The encoder "compresses" your time series into a simpler representation
+/// 2. The decoder tries to "decompress" it back to the original
+/// 3. For normal patterns, this works well (low reconstruction error)
+/// 4. For anomalies, the reconstruction is poor (high error) because the model hasn't seen such patterns
+///
+/// Think of it like a photocopier that's been trained on normal documents - it copies normal
+/// pages perfectly but produces poor copies of unusual documents, making them easy to identify.

+///
+/// Implements a Chronos-inspired foundation model for time series forecasting.
+///
+/// The numeric type used for calculations (e.g., float, double).
+///
+///
+/// Chronos is a foundation model approach that treats time series forecasting as a language modeling task.
+/// It tokenizes time series values and uses transformer architectures pretrained on large corpora of
+/// diverse time series data. This implementation provides a simplified version of the concept.
+///
+///
+/// Key concepts:
+/// - Value Tokenization: Maps continuous values to discrete tokens
+/// - Transformer Backbone: Uses self-attention for pattern learning
+/// - Zero-shot Forecasting: Can forecast on new series without retraining
+/// - Probabilistic Outputs: Generates distributional forecasts
+///
+/// For Beginners: Chronos is inspired by how large language models (like GPT) work,
+/// but for time series instead of text. Just as language models learn patterns from vast amounts
+/// of text and can then understand new sentences, Chronos learns from many different time series
+/// and can forecast new ones it hasn't seen before.
+///
+/// The key idea is to treat numbers in a time series like "words" in a sentence, using similar
+/// techniques to understand patterns and make predictions. This makes it very versatile - the
+/// same model can work on sales data, temperature readings, stock prices, etc.

+/// Implements DeepAR: Probabilistic Forecasting with Autoregressive Recurrent Networks.
+///
+/// The numeric type used for calculations (e.g., float, double).
+///
+///
+/// DeepAR is a probabilistic forecasting model that produces full probability distributions
+/// rather than point estimates. Key features include:
+///
+///
+/// - Autoregressive RNN architecture (typically LSTM-based)
+/// - Probabilistic forecasts with quantile predictions
+/// - Handles multiple related time series
+/// - Built-in handling of covariates and categorical features
+/// - Effective for cold-start scenarios
+///
+///
+/// Original paper: Salinas et al., "DeepAR: Probabilistic Forecasting with Autoregressive Recurrent Networks" (2020).
+///
+/// For Beginners: DeepAR is like a weather forecaster that doesn't just say
+/// "it will be 70°F tomorrow" but rather "there's a 50% chance it'll be between 65-75°F,
+/// a 90% chance it'll be between 60-80°F," etc.
+///
+/// It uses a type of neural network called LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) that's good at
+/// remembering patterns over time. The "autoregressive" part means it uses its own
+/// predictions to make future predictions - similar to how you might predict tomorrow's
+/// weather based on today's forecast.
+///
+/// This is particularly useful when you need to:
+/// - Make decisions based on uncertainty (e.g., inventory planning)
+/// - Forecast many related series efficiently (e.g., sales across stores)
+/// - Handle new products or stores with limited data
