title: 'StressCensoR: Generalized Stress-Strength Reliability Estimation Under Censoring
  Schemes'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.StressCensoR
abstract: Generalized framework for data generation, Maximum Likelihood Estimation,
  and Bayesian estimation of stress-strength reliability R = P(Y < X) for arbitrary
  continuous distributions under censoring schemes based on Chapter 9 of 'Balakrishnan',
  'Cramer', and 'Kundu' (2023) <ISBN:978-0-12-398387-9>. Users provide probability
  density functions, cumulative distribution functions, survival functions, support
  bounds, parameter ranges, and sample sizes. Implements data generation under Type-I,
  Type-II, progressive Type-II, Type-I hybrid, Type-II hybrid, generalized hybrid,
  progressive hybrid, joint, block random, middle, and truncation censoring schemes,
  accompanied by diagnostic histograms, dot plots, and autocorrelation plots. Maximum
  Likelihood Estimation supports optimization routines including 'Newton-Raphson',
  'Broyden'-'Fletcher'-'Goldfarb'-'Shanno' ('BFGS'), 'BFGS' in R ('BFGSR'), 'Berndt'-'Hall'-'Hall'-'Hausman'
  ('BHHH'), Simulated Annealing ('SANN'), Conjugate Gradients ('CG'), and 'Nelder'-'Mead'
  ('NM'), returning summaries ('AIC', 'coef', 'logLik', 'nIter', 'stdEr', summary,
  'vcov'). Bayesian estimation of stress-strength reliability R = P(Y < X) is performed
  via Gibbs sampling, Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, Importance Sampling, and 'Lindley'
  approximation (1980). Methods and censoring schemes are described in 'Balakrishnan',
  'Cramer', and 'Kundu' (2023, ISBN:978-0-12-398387-9), 'Lindley' (1980) <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2517-6161.1980.tb01102.x>,
