Description: Estimates robust location and scale parameters using
        platform-specific Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD)
        vectorization and Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) for
        parallel processing. Implements a novel variance-weighted
        ensemble estimator that adaptively combines all available
        statistics. Methods include logistic M-estimators, the
        estimators of Rousseeuw and Croux (1993), the Gini mean
        difference, the scaled Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), the
        scaled Interquartile Range (IQR), and unbiased standard
        deviations. Achieves substantial speedups over existing
        implementations through an 'Rcpp' backend with fused
        single-buffer algorithms that halve memory traffic for MAD and
        M-scale estimation, and a unified dispatcher that automatically
        selects the optimal estimator based on sample size.
