title: 'MYIS: ''Moreau-Yosida'' Importance Sampling for Statistical Inference'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.MYIS
abstract: Implements 'Moreau-Yosida' Markov chain Monte Carlo ('MCMC') importance
  sampling for parameter estimation and Bayesian inference under smooth, non-differentiable,
  or light-tailed target posterior distributions and arbitrary probability models
  with complete or censored data. Users supply user-defined probability density functions,
  optional distribution functions, parameter ranges, and observations subject to complete,
  right, left, interval, Type-I, Type-II, progressive Type-II, first-failure, or truncation
  schemes. Constructs 'Moreau-Yosida' envelopes, gradient-based proposals ('MALA',
  'HMC', or 'RWM'), self-normalized importance weights, batch-means asymptotic variance
  estimates, and Bayesian marginal quantiles. Methodologies are based on 'Shukla',
  'Vats', and 'Chi' (2025) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2501.02228>, 'Pereyra'
