  <dc:title>Algorithm for Generating Tie-Free Progressive Type-II Censored
Samples</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package TieFreeCensor version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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) &lt;doi:10.1155/jom/3657078&gt;, Balakrishnan and Dembinska (2008) &lt;doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2007.02.006&gt;, Joe and Zhu (2005) &lt;doi:10.1002/bimj.200410102&gt;, and Balakrishnan and Aggarwala (2000, ISBN:978-1-4612-1334-5).</dc:description>
