voigt: The Voigt Distribution

Random generation, density function and parameter estimation for the Voigt distribution. The main objective of this package is to provide R users with efficient estimation of Voigt parameters using classic iid data in a Bayesian framework. The estimating function allows flexible prior specification, specification of fixed parameters and several options for MCMC posterior simulation. A basic version of the algorithm is described in: Cannas M. and Piras, N. (2025) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-96303-2_53>.
