ppweibull: Piecewise Lifetime Models

Provides functions for estimation and data generation for several piecewise lifetime distributions. The package implements the power piecewise Weibull model, which includes the piecewise Rayleigh and piecewise exponential models as special cases. See Feigl and Zelen (1965) <doi:10.2307/2528247> for methodological details.
