We are pleased to announce that the initial release of the weibulltools package is now available on CRAN. Unlike other R packages for survival analysis, the weibulltools package focuses on reliability methods based on the Weibull analysis. In addition to that, the package can be integrated into (partly) automated data analysis processes and even can be connected to big data systems. Key features The weibulltools package contains methods for examining bench test or field data using the well-known Weibull analysis and provides the following features: * Monte Carlo simulation for estimating the life span of products that have not failed yet, taking account of registering and reporting delays (If the products looked upon are vehicles, the covered mileage can be estimated as well.) * Methods for probability estimation within samples that contain failures as well as censored data * Methods for estimating the parameters of lifetime distributions as well as the confidence intervals of quantiles and probabilities * Segmented regression for dividing data into subgroups automatically * Methods for interactive visualization of the edited data using plotly Getting started The package can be downloaded and installed from CRAN via: install.packages("weibulltools") Examples and further information Examples and further information can be found in the package documentation on CRAN, see https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/weibulltools/, or by typing ?weibulltools (more specifically: ?weibulltools::functionname) when using R.
