The Weibull member of the family is studied in detail by Dileep Kumar, Shabeer, and Sankaran (2025) . The Lomax member is studied by Sharma, Pal, Bhardwaj, and Tyagi (2026, submitted), who establish its upside-down bathtub hazard shape. Supplies vectorized density, distribution, survival, hazard, quantile (via the negative branch of the Lambert W function), and random-generation functions for all ten members of the family. It also implements Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Product of Spacings, Least Squares, Weighted Least Squares, and Cramer-von Mises estimation methods along with a Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test, a Total Time on Test plot, and model selection by AIC, BIC, CAIC, and HQIC. It also includes a bundled bladder cancer remission dataset (Lee and Wang, 2003) for illustration.' authors: - family-names: Sharma given-names: Vikas Kumar email: vksharma@bhu.ac.in preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'autorelevate: The Autorelevated Family of Probability Distributions and Estimation Methods' authors: - family-names: Sharma given-names: Vikas Kumar email: vksharma@bhu.ac.in year: '2026' notes: R package version 0.1.0 url: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=autorelevate repository: https://vksharma-bhu.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/vksharma-bhu/autorelevate commit: 1d53ca062ccf887ca2484c7dd982e1170433fd0e url: https://github.com/vksharma-bhu/autorelevate date-released: '2026-09-08' contact: - family-names: Sharma given-names: Vikas Kumar email: vksharma@bhu.ac.in
