  Samples'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.TieFreeCensor
abstract: 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) <https://doi.org/10.1155/jom/3657078>, Balakrishnan and Dembinska
  (2008) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jspi.2007.02.006>, Joe and Zhu (2005) <https://doi.org/10.1002/bimj.200410102>,
  and Balakrishnan and Aggarwala (2000, ISBN:978-1-4612-1334-5).
