		Bayesian Point Estimation Using Lindley's Approximation Under
		Censoring Schemes // Performs Bayesian point estimation using
		Lindley's Approximation (1980)
		doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1980.tb01102.x for arbitrary univariate
		probability distributions under numerous censoring and
		truncation schemes. Users supply the probability density
		function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF),
		survival function, log-prior density, initial parameter vector,
		support bounds, and observed data; the package automatically
		computes Bayesian point estimates under various loss functions
		using Lindley's approximation. Supported schemes include
		complete data, right censoring, left censoring, interval
		censoring, random censoring, block random censoring, Type-I
		censoring, Type-II censoring, progressive Type-II censoring,
		progressive first failure censoring, joint Type-I censoring,
		joint Type-II censoring, balanced joint progressive Type-II
		censoring, hybrid censoring, hybrid Type-I censoring, hybrid
		Type-II censoring, Type-I hybrid censoring, Type-II
		progressively hybrid censoring, doubly Type-II censoring,
		middle censoring, right truncation, and left truncation. The
		package computes posterior expectations of arbitrary smooth
		functions, supports multiple loss functions (squared error loss
		function (SELF), weighted squared error loss function (WSELF),
		modified quadratic squared error loss function (MQSELF),
		precautionary loss function (PLF), entropy loss function (ELF),
		linear-exponential (LINEX), generalized entropy loss function
		(GELF), Kullback-Leibler loss function (K-Loss), and user-
		defined), provides model selection criteria (Akaike information
		criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC),
		corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc), Hannan-Quinn
		information criterion (HQIC), consistent Akaike information
		criterion (CAIC), Kullback information criterion (KIC)),
		goodness-of-fit statistics (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-
		Darling, Cramer-von Mises, Watson, Chi-square), residual
		analysis (Cox-Snell, Martingale, Deviance, Pearson,
		Generalized, Randomized quantile), comprehensive visualization
		tools, prediction utilities, and simulation functions for
		benchmarking estimators. Methods are described in Lindley
