abstract: Implements the Information Combination (IComb) approach proposed by Nguyen,
  Vahid and Wickramasuriya (2025)<https://www.monash.edu/business/ebs/research/publications/ebs/2025/wp11-2025.pdf>
  for hierarchical forecast reconciliation. The method combines information from base
  forecasts constructed using different information sets while ensuring coherence.
  It is implemented using a penalized regression-based framework.
