Total Time on Test plot and routines for parameter estimation of any lifetime distribution implemented in R via maximum likelihood (ML) given a data set. It is implemented thinking on parametric survival analysis, but it feasible to use in parameter estimation of probability density or mass functions in any field. The main routines maxlogL and maxlogLreg are wrapper functions specifically developed for ML estimation. There are included optimization procedures such as nlminb and optim from base package, and DEoptim Mullen (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v040.i06>. Standard errors are estimated with numDeriv Gilbert (2011) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=numDeriv> or the option Hessian = TRUE of optim function.

We quantitatively evaluated the assertion that says if one suit is found to be evenly distributed among the 4 players, the rest of the suits are more likely to be evenly distributed. Our mathematical analyses show that, if one suit is found to be evenly distributed, then a second suit has a slightly elevated probability (ranging between 10% to 15%) of being evenly distributed. If two suits are found to be evenly distributed, then a third suit has a substantially elevated probability (ranging between 30% to 50%) of being evenly distributed.This package refers to methods and authentic data from Ely Culbertson <https://www.bridgebum.com/law_of_symmetry.php>, Gregory Stoll <https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/bridge/math.html>, and details of performing the probability calculations from Jeremy L.
