This package provides a new method for interpretable heterogeneous treatment effects characterization in terms of decision rules via an extensive exploration of heterogeneity patterns by an ensemble-of-trees approach, enforcing high stability in the discovery. It relies on a two-stage pseudo-outcome regression, and it is supported by theoretical convergence guarantees. Bargagli-Stoffi, F. J., Cadei, R., Lee, K., & Dominici, F. (2023) Causal rule ensemble: Interpretable Discovery and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects. arXiv preprint <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2009.09036>.

Extends the Cox model to events with more than one causes. Also supports random and fixed effects, tied events, and time-varying variables. Model details are provided in Peng et al. (2018) <doi:10.1509/jmr.14.0643>.

Maximum likelihood estimation in respondent driven samples.

Germline and somatic locus data which contain the total read depth and B allele read depth using Bayesian model (Dirichlet Process) to cluster. Meanwhile, the cluster model can deal with the SNVs mutation and the CNAs mutation.

This k-means algorithm is able to cluster data with missing values and as a by-product completes the data set. The implementation can deal with missing values in multiple variables and is computationally efficient since it iteratively uses the current cluster assignment to define a plausible distribution for missing value imputation. Weights are used to shrink early random draws for missing values (i.e., draws based on the cluster assignments after few iterations) towards the global mean of each feature. This shrinkage slowly fades out after a fixed number of iterations to reflect the increasing credibility of cluster assignments. See the vignette for details.

In discrimination experiments candidates are sent on the same test (e.g. job, house rental) and one examines whether they receive the same outcome. The number of non negative answers are first examined in details looking for outcome differences. Then various statistics are computed. This package can also be used for analyzing the results from random experiments.

Extend cxxfunction by saving the dynamic shared objects for reusing across R sessions.

This package provides a fast way to loop a character vector or file names as a menu in the console for the user to choose an option.

Parallel coordinate plotting with resolutions for large data sets and missing values.

This package contains generic functions for performing cross validation and for computing diagnostic errors.

Fast application of Continuous Wavelet Transformation ('CWT') on time series with special attention to spectroscopy. It is written using data.table and C++ language and in some functions it is possible to use parallel processing to speed-up the computation over samples. Currently, only the second derivative of a Gaussian wavelet function is implemented.

Solves multivariate least squares (MLS) problems subject to constraints on the coefficients, e.g., non-negativity, orthogonality, equality, inequality, monotonicity, unimodality, smoothness, etc. Includes flexible functions for solving MLS problems subject to user-specified equality and/or inequality constraints, as well as a wrapper function that implements 24 common constraint options. Also does k-fold or generalized cross-validation to tune constraint options for MLS problems. See ten Berge (1993, ISBN:9789066950832) for an overview of MLS problems, and see Goldfarb and Idnani (1983) <doi:10.1007/BF02591962> for a discussion of the underlying quadratic programming algorithm.

Several nonparametric estimators of autocovariance functions. Procedures for constructing their confidence regions by using bootstrap techniques. Methods to correct autocovariance estimators and several tools for analysing and comparing them. Supplementary functions, including kernel computations and discrete cosine Fourier transforms.

This package provides a class of methods that combine dimension reduction and clustering of continuous, categorical or mixed-type data (Markos, Iodice D'Enza and van de Velden 2019; <DOI:10.18637/jss.v091.i10>). For continuous data, the package contains implementations of factorial K-means (Vichi and Kiers 2001; <DOI:10.1016/S0167-9473(00)00064-5>) and reduced K-means (De Soete and Carroll 1994; <DOI:10.1007/978-3-642-51175-2_24>); both methods that combine principal component analysis with K-means clustering. For categorical data, the package provides MCA K-means (Hwang, Dillon and Takane 2006; <DOI:10.1007/s11336-004-1173-x>), i-FCB (Iodice D'Enza and Palumbo 2013, <DOI:10.1007/s00180-012-0329-x>) and Cluster Correspondence Analysis (van de Velden, Iodice D'Enza and Palumbo 2017; <DOI:10.1007/s11336-016-9514-0>), which combine multiple correspondence analysis with K-means. For mixed-type data, it provides mixed Reduced K-means and mixed Factorial K-means (van de Velden, Iodice D'Enza and Markos 2019; <DOI:10.1002/wics.1456>), which combine PCA for mixed-type data with K-means.

Filtering, also known as gating, of flow cytometry samples using the curvHDR method, which is described in Naumann, U., Luta, G. and Wand, M.P. (2010) <DOI:10.1186/1471-2105-11-44>.

Ceteris Paribus Profiles (What-If Plots) are designed to present model responses around selected points in a feature space. For example around a single prediction for an interesting observation. Plots are designed to work in a model-agnostic fashion, they are working for any predictive Machine Learning model and allow for model comparisons. Ceteris Paribus Plots supplement the Break Down Plots from breakDown package.

Computes a novel metric of affinity between two entities based on their co-occurrence (using binary presence/absence data). The metric and its maximum likelihood estimator (alpha hat) were advanced in Mainali, Slud, et al, 2021 <doi:10.1126/sciadv.abj9204>. Four types of confidence intervals and median interval were developed in Mainali and Slud, 2022 <doi:10.1101/2022.11.01.514801>. The `finches` dataset is bundled with the package.

Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel methods (Cochran (1954) <doi:10.2307/3001616>; Mantel and Haenszel (1959) <doi:10.1093/jnci/22.4.719>; Landis et al. (1978) <doi:10.2307/1402373>) are a suite of tests applicable to categorical data. A competitor to those tests is the procedure of Nonparametric ANOVA which was initially introduced in Rayner and Best (2013) <doi:10.1111/anzs.12041>. The methodology was then extended in Rayner et al. (2015) <doi:10.1111/anzs.12113>. This package employs functions related to both methodologies and serves as an accompaniment to the book: An Introduction to Cochranâ Mantelâ Haenszel and Non-Parametric ANOVA. The package also contains the data sets used in that text.
