Overview

About

Maintained by Christian GalarzaFirst published 2026-03-112 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements parametric modal regression for continuous positive distributions of the exponential family and beyond (e.g., Log-Logistic, Birnbaum-Saunders) under right censoring. Provides functions to link the conditional mode to a linear predictor using alternative parameterizations. Includes maximum likelihood estimation via numerical optimization, asymptotic inference based on the observed Fisher information matrix, and model diagnostics using randomized quantile residuals. See Galarza and Lachos (2026) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.07099.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("chedgala/ModalCens")

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-modalcens

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ModalCens

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ModalCens

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
