  <dc:title>Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Excess Lifetimes</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package longevity version 1.3.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A collection of parametric and nonparametric methods for the analysis of survival data, described in &lt;doi:10.32614/RJ-2025-034&gt;. Parametric families implemented include Gompertz-Makeham, exponential and generalized Pareto models and extended models. The package includes an implementation of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for arbitrary truncation and censoring pattern based on Turnbull (1976) &lt;doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1976.tb01597.x&gt;, along with graphical goodness-of-fit diagnostics. Parametric models for positive random variables and peaks over threshold models based on extreme value theory are described in Rootzén and Zholud (2017) &lt;doi:10.1007/s10687-017-0305-5&gt;; Belzile et al. (2021) &lt;doi:10.1098/rsos.202097&gt; and Belzile et al. (2022) &lt;doi:10.1146/annurev-statistics-040120-025426&gt;. </dc:description>
