  <dc:title>'Moreau-Yosida' Importance Sampling for Statistical Inference</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package MYIS version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements 'Moreau-Yosida' Markov chain Monte Carlo ('MCMC')
    importance sampling for parameter estimation and Bayesian inference under
    smooth, non-differentiable, or light-tailed target posterior distributions
    and arbitrary probability models with complete or censored data. Users supply
    user-defined probability density functions, optional distribution functions,
    parameter ranges, and observations subject to complete, right, left, interval,
    Type-I, Type-II, progressive Type-II, first-failure, or truncation schemes.
    Constructs 'Moreau-Yosida' envelopes, gradient-based proposals ('MALA',
    'HMC', or 'RWM'), self-normalized importance weights, batch-means asymptotic
    variance estimates, and Bayesian marginal quantiles. Methodologies are based
    on 'Shukla', 'Vats', and 'Chi' (2025) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.02228&gt;,
    'Pereyra' (2016) &lt;doi:10.1111/sjos.12208&gt;, 'Durmus' and others (2022)
