primarycensoreddist 0.3.0

[seabbs]

This release fixes and improves truncation handling across the code base. It also adds a new vignette showcasing how to use the primarycensoreddist and fitdistrplus packages together to fit distributions.

Package

• Updated the approach to truncation to be outside the primary censored distribution integral.
• Improved tests that compare random sampling and probability mass/density functions between R and Stan.
• Improved cross-testing between R and Stan implementations of the primary censored distributions.
• Worked on improving the stability of the primary_censored_dist_lpmf when used for NUTS based fitting (i.e. in Stan).

Documentation

• @athowes improved the getting started vignette by catching a few grammar errors and simplifying language.
• Added a new vignette showcasing how to use the primarycensoreddist and fitdistrplus packages together to fit distributions.
