  <dc:title>Bivariate Median Residual Life Estimation</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BMeRL version 1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Nonparametric estimation of the bivariate median residual life
    function of Kayid et al. (2020) for complete and right-censored paired
    lifetimes. Order-restricted estimation for two groups is also provided, following
    Khan and Ghebremichael (2026). For censored data the bivariate survival function is estimated by the
    method of Lin and Ying (1993). Simultaneous confidence intervals are
    obtained by the percentile bootstrap approach of Mandel and Betensky
    (2008), and the estimated functions can be drawn as surface plots. See
    the accompanying vignette 'BMeRL' for a detailed introduction.
