logcumulant: Goodness-of-Fit Tests and Diagrams Based on Mellin Log-Cumulants

A family of three complementary goodness-of-fit tests based on an adaptation of Hotelling's T-squared statistic applied to vectors of sample log-cumulants (Mellin statistics) for positive-support reliability data. The package provides the asymptotic chi-squared reference and parametric bootstrap p-values for reliable finite-sample inference, covering the Weibull, Frechet, Gamma, Inverse-Gamma, Log-Normal, and Log-Logistic families. It also provides three diagnostic diagrams (log-cumulant, kurtosis-skewness, and coefficient-of-variation) with bootstrap concentration ellipses, in the spirit of moment-ratio diagrams. Methods are described in Santos, Ospina, Espinheira and Oliveira (2025).
