SelectBoost.gamlss: Stability-Selection via Correlated Resampling for 'GAMLSS' Models

Extends the 'SelectBoost' approach to Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS). Implements bootstrap stability-selection across parameter-specific formulas (mu, sigma, nu, tau) via gamlss::stepGAIC(). Includes optional standardization of predictors and helper functions for corrected AIC calculation. More details can be found in Bertrand and Maumy (2024) <https://hal.science/hal-05352041> that highlights correlation-aware resampling to improve variable selection for GAMLSS and quantile regression when predictors are numerous and highly correlated.
