Here we provide the codes used to conduct the simulation studies presented in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. 
All simulations were performed in R software (R Core Team, 2020), version 4.0.2.  

The following files are available (please note that all scripts may take a while to return the results):

#=== Linear structure:
- 3.1_normal.r
- 3.1_weibull.r
- 3.1_ZIP.r

#=== Linear and nonlinear structures
- 3.2_normal.r
- 3.2_weibull.r
- 3.2_ZIP.r
