Overview

About

Maintained by Vijay KumarCRAN page ↗

Provides a comprehensive suite of utilities for univariate continuous probability distributions and reliability models. Includes functions to compute the probability density, cumulative distribution, quantile, reliability, and hazard functions, along with random variate generation. Also offers diagnostic and model assessment tools such as Quantile-Quantile (Q-Q) and Probability-Probability (P-P) plots, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test, and model selection criteria including the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Currently implements the following distributions: Burr X, Chen, Exponential Extension, Exponentiated Logistic, Exponentiated Weibull, Exponential Power, Flexible Weibull, Generalized Exponential, Gompertz, Generalized Power Weibull, Gumbel, Inverse Generalized Exponential, Linear Failure Rate, Log-Gamma, Logistic-Exponential, Logistic-Rayleigh, Log-log, Marshall-Olkin Extended Exponential, Marshall-Olkin Extended Weibull, and Weibull Extension distributions. Serves as a valuable resource for teaching and research in probability theory, reliability analysis, and applied statistical modeling.

Install

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

install.packages("reliaR", 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-reliar

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-reliaR

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-reliaR

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.
