Description: Suppose that one can observe bivariate random variables (X, Y) only when X<=Y holds. Data (Xj, Yj), subject to Xj<=Yj, for all j=1,...,n, are called truncated data. For truncated data, several different approaches are implemented for statistical inference on (X, Y), when X and Y are dependent. Also included is truncated data on the number of deaths at each year (1963-1980) for Japanese male centenarians.

Title: Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Dependently Truncated
Description: Estimation and testing methods for dependently truncated data.
Semi-parametric methods are based on Emura et al. (2011)<Stat Sinica 21:349-67>, Emura & Wang (2012)<doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2012.03.012>,
A regression approach is based on Emura & Wang (2016)<doi:10.1007/s10463-015-0526-9>. Quasi-independence tests are based on Emura & Wang (2010)<doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2009.07.006>.
Right-truncated data for Japanese male centenarians are given by Emura & Murotani (2015)<doi:10.1007/s11749-015-0432-8>.

Title: A Utility Package to Help you Deal with "Pignas"
Description: Pigna [_pìn'n'a_] is the Italian word for pine
cone.  In jargon, it is used to identify a task which is boring,
banal, annoying, painful, frustrating and maybe even with a not so
beautiful or rewarding result, just like the obstinate act of trying
to challenge yourself in extracting pine nuts from a pine cone,
provided that, in the end, you will find at least one inside it. Here
you can find a backpack of functions to be used to solve small
everyday problems of coding or analyzing (clinical) data, which would
be normally solved using quick-and-dirty patches. You will be able to
convert 'Hmisc' and 'rms' summary()es into data.frames ready to be
rendered by 'pander' and 'knitr'. You can access easy-to-use wrappers
to activate essential but useful progress bars (from 'progress') into
your loops or functionals. Easy setup and control Telegram's bots
(from 'telegram.bot') to send messages or to divert error messages to
a Telegram's chat. You also have some utilities helping you in the
development of packages, like the activation of the same user
interface of 'usethis' into your package, or call polite functions to
ask a user to install other packages. Finally, you find a set of
thematic sets of packages you may use to set up new environments
quickly, installing them in a single call.
