Description: Aligns irregularly timed longitudinal observations to
        regular panel schedules. Each observation on a subject serves
        as a potential baseline, and all later observations are aligned
        to the nearest panel with minimal delay. The package provides
        tools to: (1) build a panel book documenting alignments and
        delays, (2) organize variables in longitudinal data to
        wide-format panel matrices, (3) summarize alignment quality and
        panel coverage. Ideal for cross-lagged panel analysis, clinical
        trials with variable visit schedules, and Electronic Health
        Record harmonization.
