UniCensor: Reproducible Random Samples Under Univariate Censoring Schemes

Generates reproducible random samples from any user-specified univariate distribution under a comprehensive suite of censoring and truncation schemes. Users supply the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), survival function, support bounds, and parameters; the same seed and inputs yield identical samples across sessions. Supported schemes include right and left truncation, random, right, left, interval, and middle censoring, block random censoring, balanced joint progressive Type-II (BJPT-II), progressive first failure, joint Type-I, Type-I, Type-II, progressive Type-II, Type-II progressively hybrid, joint Type-II, hybrid, hybrid Type-I, doubly Type-II, Type-I hybrid, and hybrid Type-II censoring. Diagnostic histogram, dot plot, and autocorrelation plots are provided for each scheme to verify distributional behaviour.
