Baboons

This data set arises in the course of analyzing data on the ecology of baboons in East Africa. The data consist on descent times of baboons (in hours since the day began) or
censoring times and the (left) censoring status.

This package allows to fit a regression model suitable for data analysis in which the conditional distribution of the response is symmetric continuous and where its location and dispersion parameters are explicitly modelled through semi-parametric functions, whose non-parametric components are approximated by natural cubic splines or P-splines.  Supported distributions for the model error include normal, Student-t, power exponential, symmetric hyperbolic, contaminated normal, slash, sinh-normal and sinh-t distributions.
