Links were fixed as per CRAN request, and a few very minor edits to the vignette. B

After a few false starts,cyclomort is finally up onCRAN.

Install away, the standard way:

install.packages("cyclomort")

Thecyclomort package provides tools for modeling and analysis of periodic mortality (or other time-to event) processes from right-censored data. The package was inspired by the need to detect annual seasonal patterns in mortality of wildlife, thus, the central assumption is that the period itself is known (e.g. 1 year, 24 hours, etc.), but the number, intensity and duration of the peaks of increased hazard are unknown. The central function estimates these parameters from right-censored data. Other functions allow for simulation, visualization of fits, anda priori hypothesis testing tools.

Examples are provided in thepackage vignette

Also - for fun - ablog post!

To install from GitHub:

library(devtools)install_github("https://github.com/EliGurarie/cyclomort", vignettes = TRUE)

This project is fairly mature, and will soon be uploaded to CRAN, but GitHub is a good place to report issues for further development.
