tailplots: Estimators and Plots for Gamma and Pareto Tail Detection

Estimators for two functionals used to detect Gamma, Pareto or Lognormal distributions, as well as distributions exhibiting similar tail behavior, as introduced by Iwashita and Klar (2023) <doi:10.1111/stan.12316> and Klar (2024) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2024.2413081>. One of these functionals, g, originally proposed by Asmussen and Lehtomaa (2017) <doi:10.3390/risks5010010>, distinguishes between log-convex and log-concave tail behavior. Furthermore the characterization of the lognormal distribution is based on the work of Mosimann (1970) <doi:10.2307/2284599>. The package also includes methods for visualizing these estimators and their associated confidence intervals across various threshold values.
