Description: Detects variable types (continuous, count, binary,
        ordinal, categorical), checks outliers, normality, latent
        normality, and linearity, and selects the appropriate
        correlation method for each pair. Supports 18 methods: Pearson,
        Spearman, Kendall's tau, point-biserial, biserial,
        rank-biserial, phi, tetrachoric, Yule's Q, polychoric,
        polyserial, Goodman-Kruskal's gamma, the correlation ratio
        (eta-squared), Kruskal-Wallis eta-squared, Freeman's theta,
        Cramer's V, Tschuprow's T, and Theil's U, each with a
        confidence interval and p-value. Explains the selection
        rationale in the output, follows tidy data principles, and
        works in both interactive and scripted workflows. The
        methodology is described in Harshvardhan and Ranjan (2026)
