New CRAN package predHCS with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats https://cran.r-project.org/package=predHCS

CRAN: Package predHCS

Implements generalized statistical point prediction and prediction intervals for future failure times under various hybrid censoring schemes. Supported censoring schemes include Type-I, Type-II, Generalized Type-I, Generalized Type-II, Unified, Progressive Type-I, and Progressive Type-II hybrid censoring schemes. Available prediction methods include Best Unbiased Predictor (BUP), Conditional Median Predictor (CMP), Maximum Likelihood Predictor (MLP), equal-tailed classical prediction intervals, Highest Conditional Density (HCD) prediction intervals, and Bayesian prediction intervals. Algorithms accept user-defined continuous probability density functions, cumulative distribution functions, quantile functions, or survival functions along with estimated parameter values. Methodological foundations are based on Balakrishnan, Cramer, and Kundu (2023, ISBN:978-0123983879), Shafay and Balakrishnan (2012) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F03610918.2011.579367" target="_top">doi:10.1080/03610918.2011.579367</a>&gt; for Type-I hybrid censoring, Balakrishnan and Shafay (2012) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F03610926.2010.543300" target="_top">doi:10.1080/03610926.2010.543300</a>&gt; for Type-II hybrid censoring, Shafay (2017) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F03610926.2016.1200093" target="_top">doi:10.1080/03610926.2016.1200093</a>&gt; for Generalized Type-I hybrid censoring, Shafay (2016) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F00949655.2015.1096361" target="_top">doi:10.1080/00949655.2015.1096361</a>&gt; for Generalized Type-II hybrid censoring, Mohie El-Din, Nagy, and Shafay (2017) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.18576%2Fjsap%2F060113" target="_top">doi:10.18576/jsap/060113</a>&gt; for Unified hybrid censoring, Ebrahimi (1992) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1109%2F24.126685" target="_top">doi:10.1109/24.126685</a>&gt;, Valiollahi, Asgharzadeh, and Kundu (2017) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1214%2F15-BJPS302" target="_top">doi:10.1214/15-BJPS302</a>&gt;, and Asgharzadeh, Valiollahi, and Kundu (2015) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F00949655.2013.848451" target="_top">doi:10.1080/00949655.2013.848451</a>&gt;.

New CRAN package BayesQRCount with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats https://cran.r-project.org/package=BayesQRCount

CRAN: Package BayesQRCount

Implements Bayesian quantile regression for count data using the jittering technique for discrete data smoothing and an asymmetric Laplace distribution likelihood. Supports adaptive variable selection via a random-bridge penalty with a beta prior on the power parameter, as well as fixed-bridge and Lasso penalties. Utilizes Markov chain Monte Carlo with Gibbs sampling and adaptive Metropolis-Hastings algorithms for posterior inference, provides Gelman-Rubin convergence diagnostics, and predicts conditional quantiles for count responses. Methodology and applications are based on the following key references: Luo, Zhou, Hu, and Li (2026, Journal of Mathematics, 2026:1543166, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1155%2Fjom%2F1543166" target="_top">doi:10.1155/jom/1543166</a>&gt;), Koenker and Bassett (1978, Econometrica, 46, 33-50, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.2307%2F1913643" target="_top">doi:10.2307/1913643</a>&gt;), Machado and Santos Silva (2005, Journal of the American Statistical Association, 100, 1226-1237, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1198%2F016214505000000330" target="_top">doi:10.1198/016214505000000330</a>&gt;), Yu and Moyeed (2001, Statistics and Probability Letters, 54, 437-447, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2FS0167-7152%2801%2900124-9" target="_top">doi:10.1016/S0167-7152(01)00124-9</a>&gt;), Polson, Scott, and Windle (2014, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B, 76, 713-733, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1111%2Frssb.12042" target="_top">doi:10.1111/rssb.12042</a>&gt;), Park and Casella (2008, Journal of the American Statistical Association, 103, 681-686, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1198%2F016214508000000337" target="_top">doi:10.1198/016214508000000337</a>&gt;), and Roberts and Rosenthal (2009, Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 18, 349-367, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1198%2Fjcgs.2009.06134" target="_top">doi:10.1198/jcgs.2009.06134</a>&gt;).

New CRAN package orbis with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats https://cran.r-project.org/package=orbis

CRAN: Package orbis

A layered grammar of graphics that compiles plots to a resolution-independent scene description and renders it through two back-ends: a self-contained SVG writer with embedded 'JavaScript' for interactive figures (tooltips, hover highlighting, zoom, pan and legend toggling) and R's own graphics devices for publication-quality output at any resolution. Geographic layers are first class: a simplified world polygon dataset ships with the package and can be drawn with several map projections, including Robinson, Equal Earth and an orthographic globe. The layered grammar follows Wickham (2010) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1198%2Fjcgs.2009.07098" target="_top">doi:10.1198/jcgs.2009.07098</a>&gt;; projections follow Snyder (1987) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.3133%2Fpp1395" target="_top">doi:10.3133/pp1395</a>&gt; and, for Equal Earth, Savric, Patterson and Jenny (2019) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F13658816.2018.1504949" target="_top">doi:10.1080/13658816.2018.1504949</a>&gt;; line simplification uses Douglas and Peucker (1973) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.3138%2FFM57-6770-U75U-7727" target="_top">doi:10.3138/FM57-6770-U75U-7727</a>&gt;; the default colour scales follow the guidance on perceptually uniform palettes of Crameri, Shephard and Heron (2020) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1038%2Fs41467-020-19160-7" target="_top">doi:10.1038/s41467-020-19160-7</a>&gt;.

New CRAN package MYIS with initial version 0.1.0 #rstats https://cran.r-project.org/package=MYIS

CRAN: Package MYIS

Implements 'Moreau-Yosida' Markov chain Monte Carlo ('MCMC') importance sampling for parameter estimation and Bayesian inference under smooth, non-differentiable, or light-tailed target posterior distributions and arbitrary probability models with complete or censored data. Users supply user-defined probability density functions, optional distribution functions, parameter ranges, and observations subject to complete, right, left, interval, Type-I, Type-II, progressive Type-II, first-failure, or truncation schemes. Constructs 'Moreau-Yosida' envelopes, gradient-based proposals ('MALA', 'HMC', or 'RWM'), self-normalized importance weights, batch-means asymptotic variance estimates, and Bayesian marginal quantiles. Methodologies are based on 'Shukla', 'Vats', and 'Chi' (2025) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.48550%2FarXiv.2501.02228" target="_top">doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.02228</a>&gt;, 'Pereyra' (2016) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1111%2Fsjos.12208" target="_top">doi:10.1111/sjos.12208</a>&gt;, 'Durmus' and others (2022) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1214%2F22-EJS2027" target="_top">doi:10.1214/22-EJS2027</a>&gt;, 'Chen' and 'Shao' (1999) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1214%2Fss%2F1009211804" target="_top">doi:10.1214/ss/1009211804</a>&gt;, 'Roberts' and 'Rosenthal' (1998) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1214%2Faoap%2F1028903378" target="_top">doi:10.1214/aoap/1028903378</a>&gt;, 'Geweke' (1989) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.2307%2F2290062" target="_top">doi:10.2307/2290062</a>&gt;, 'Hesterberg' (1995) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F00031305.1995.10476138" target="_top">doi:10.1080/00031305.1995.10476138</a>&gt;, and 'Balakrishnan' and 'Aggarwala' (2000, ISBN:978-0-8176-4001-9).
