primarycensoreddist 0.4.0

[seabbs]

In this release, we have added a new package stan model for fitting distributions using the cmdstanr package. We have also added a new function fitdistdoublecens() to allow for fitting of double censored and truncated data using the fitdistrplus package. As well as these functionality improvements this release focuses on improving the stability of the CmdStan model and improving the speed of the primary_censored_ode function.

Package

• Added a new function fitdistdoublecens() to allow for fitting of double censored and truncated data using the fitdistrplus package.
• Added low level tests for the Stan primary_censored_ode function.
• Rephrased the stan code to use a ODE solver rather than a numerical integration method. This allows for much faster and more stable computation of the likelihood
• Added a CmdStan model for fitting distributions using the cmdstanr package.
• Added helpers functions for working with the new CmdStan model and added an example to the vignette.
• Added parameter recovery tests for the new CmdStan model which tests the primary_censored_dist_lpmf function when used with NUTS based fitting.
