Overview

About

Maintained by Shikhar TyagiCRAN page ↗

Generates tie-free progressive Type-II censored samples from discrete distributions and user-specified discrete probability mass functions (PMF) or cumulative distribution functions (CDF). Provides maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), Bayesian estimation via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampling, likelihood-based parametric bootstrap goodness-of-fit (GOF) tests, profile log-likelihood diagnostics, and discrete survival and probability calculations. Methods are based on Ahmad and Mansour (2026) doi:10.1155/jom/3657078, Balakrishnan and Dembinska (2008) doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2007.02.006, Joe and Zhu (2005) doi:10.1002/bimj.200410102, and Balakrishnan and Aggarwala (2000, ISBN:978-1-4612-1334-5).

Install

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

install.packages("TieFreeCensor", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

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

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-tiefreecensor

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-TieFreeCensor

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-TieFreeCensor

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
