Descripción
Sumario:This paper presents the R package GofCens, which offers graphical tools and implements goodness-of-fit tests for right-censored data. The first part provides a thorough review of current methodologies for assessing goodness of fit in the presence of rightcensored data. The subsequent sections present the main functions of GofCens and are illustrated by means of a right-censored sample from a log-normal distribution and a data set on NBAplayers’ mortality, which is included in the package.
