This package provides useful tools for cognitive diagnosis modeling (CDM). The package includes functions for empirical Q-matrix estimation and validation, such as the Hull method (Nájera, Sorrel, de la Torre, & Abad, 2021, <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12228>) and the discrete factor loading method (Wang, Song, & Ding, 2018, <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-77249-3_29>). It also contains dimensionality assessment procedures for CDM, including parallel analysis and automated fit comparison as explored in Nájera, Abad, and Sorrel (2021, <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2021.614470>). Other relevant methods and features for CDM applications, such as the restricted DINA model (Nájera et al., 2023; <doi:10.3102/10769986231158829>), the general nonparametric classification method (Chiu et al., 2018; <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9595-4>), and corrected estimation of the classification accuracy via multiple imputation (Kreitchmann et al., 2022; <doi:10.3758/s13428-022-01967-5>) are also available. Lastly, the package provides some useful functions for CDM simulation studies, such as random Q-matrix generation and detection of complete/identified Q-matrices.

The issue of overlapping regions in multidimensional data arises when different classes or clusters share similar feature representations, making it challenging to delineate distinct boundaries between them accurately. This package provides methods for detecting and visualizing these overlapping regions using partitional clustering techniques based on nearest neighbor distances.

Calculate the colocalization index, NSInC, in two different ways as described in the paper (Liu et al., 2019. Manuscript submitted for publication.) for multiple-species spatial data which contain the precise locations and membership of each spatial point. The two main functions are nsinc.d() and nsinc.z(). They provide the Pearsonâ s correlation coefficients of signal proportions in different memberships within a concerned proximity of every signal (or every base signal if single direction colocalization is considered) across all (base) signals using two different ways of normalization. The proximity sizes could be an individual value or a range of values, where the default ranges of values are different for the two functions.

Given the hypothesis of a bi-modal distribution of cells for each marker, the algorithm constructs a binary tree, the nodes of which are subpopulations of cells. At each node, observed cells and markers are modeled by both a family of normal distributions and a family of bi-modal normal mixture distributions. Splitting is done according to a normalized difference of AIC between the two families. Method is detailed in: Commenges, Alkhassim, Gottardo, Hejblum & Thiebaut (2018) <doi: 10.1002/cyto.a.23601>.

This package contains functions to help in selecting and exploring features ( or variables ) in binary classification problems. Provides functions to compute and display information value and weight of evidence (WoE) of the variables , and to convert numeric variables to categorical variables by binning. Functions are also provided to determine which levels ( or categories ) of a categorical variable can be collapsed (or combined ) based on their response rates. The functions provided only work for binary classification problems.

It is assumed that psychological distances between the categories are equal for the measurement instruments consisted of polytomously scored items. According to Muraki, this assumption must be tested. In the examination process of this assumption, the fit indexes are obtained and evaluated. This package provides that this assumption is removed. By with this package, the converted scale values of all items in a measurement instrument can be calculated by estimating a category parameter set for each item. Thus, the calculations can be made without any need to usage of the common category parameter set. Through this package, the psychological distances of the items are scaled. The scaling of a category parameter set for each item cause differentiation of score of the categories will be got from items. Also, the total measurement instrument score of an individual can be calculated according to the scaling of item score categories by with this package.This package provides that the place of individuals related to the structure to be measured with a measurement instrument consisted of polytomously scored items can be reveal more accurately. In this way, it is thought that the results obtained about individuals can be made more sensitive, and the differences between individuals can be revealed more accurately. On the other hand, it can be argued that more accurate evidences can be obtained regarding the psychometric properties of the measurement instruments.
