ModalCens 0.3.0
- Added the Log-t (
"logt") distribution family, in which the logarithm of
the response follows a Student-t distribution. The mode is reparameterized
in closed form, and the family supports right-censoring and randomized
quantile residuals. It reduces to the Log-Normal family as the degrees of
freedom grow.
- New argument
nu in modal_cens() for the degrees of freedom of the Log-t
family, treated as known (default 4). It is ignored by the other families.
summary() reports the degrees of freedom when family = "logt", and the
fitted object stores them in the new element nu.
- A warning is issued when the Log-t dispersion estimate lies at the boundary
of the region that guarantees an interior mode.
ModalCens 0.2.0 (2026-08-21)
- Added the Log-Logistic (
"loglogistic") and Birnbaum-Saunders ("bisa") distribution families, providing highly flexible modeling options outside the exponential family framework. Both support mode reparameterization, right-censoring, and randomized quantile residuals.
- Added a caveat in the documentation regarding the strong parametric restriction of the Inverse Gaussian distribution.
- Added the Log-Normal (
"lognormal") distribution family, with mode
reparameterization, right-censoring support, and randomized quantile
residuals.
