To improve estimation accuracy and stability in statistical modeling, catalytic prior distributions are employed, integrating observed data with synthetic data generated from a simpler model's predictive distribution. This approach enhances model robustness, stability, and flexibility in complex data scenarios. The catalytic prior distributions are introduced by Huang et al. (2020, <doi:10.1073/pnas.1920913117>), Li and Huang (2023, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.01411>).

Data from statistical agencies and other institutions often need to be protected before they can be published. This package can be used to perturb statistical tables in a consistent way. The main idea is to add - at the micro data level - a record key for each unit. Based on these keys, for any cell in a statistical table a cell key is computed as a function on the record keys contributing to a specific cell. Values that are added to the cell in order to perturb it are derived from a lookup-table that maps values of cell keys to specific perturbation values. The theoretical basis for the methods implemented can be found in Thompson, Broadfoot and Elazar (2013) <https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/stats/documents/ece/ces/ge.46/2013/Topic_1_ABS.pdf> which was extended and enhanced by Giessing and Tent (2019) <https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/stats/documents/ece/ces/ge.46/2019/mtg1/SDC2019_S2_Germany_Giessing_Tent_AD.pdf>.

Conditional moments test, as proposed by Newey (1985) <doi:10.2307/1911011 > and Tauchen (1985) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(85)90149-6>, useful to detect specification violations for models estimated by maximum likelihood. Methods for probit and tobit models are provided.

This package provides functions to generate ensembles of generalized linear models using competing proximal gradients. The optimal sparsity and diversity tuning parameters are selected via an alternating grid search.

Fits predictive and symmetric co-correspondence analysis (CoCA) models to relate one data matrix to another data matrix. More specifically, CoCA maximises the weighted covariance between the weighted averaged species scores of one community and the weighted averaged species scores of another community. CoCA attempts to find patterns that are common to both communities.

This package implements a Ward-like hierarchical clustering algorithm including soft spatial/geographical constraints.

This package provides a tool for analyzing conjoint experiments using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees ('BART'), a machine learning method developed by Chipman, George and McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>. This tool focuses specifically on estimating, identifying, and visualizing the heterogeneity within marginal component effects, at the observation- and individual-level. It uses a variable importance measure ('VIMP') with delete-d jackknife variance estimation, following Ishwaran and Lu (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.7803>, to obtain bias-corrected estimates of which variables drive heterogeneity in the predicted individual-level effects.

This package performs survival analysis using general non-linear models. Risk models can be the sum or product of terms. Each term is the product of exponential/linear functions of covariates. Additionally sub-terms can be defined as a sum of exponential, linear threshold, and step functions. Cox Proportional hazards <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_hazards_model>, Poisson <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_regression>, and Fine-Gray competing risks <https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/research/population-health-methods/competing-risk-analysis> regression are supported. This work was sponsored by NASA Grants 80NSSC19M0161 and 80NSSC23M0129 through a subcontract from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). The computing for this project was performed on the Beocat Research Cluster at Kansas State University, which is funded in part by NSF grants CNS-1006860, EPS-1006860, EPS-0919443, ACI-1440548, CHE-1726332, and NIH P20GM113109.

Constrained randomization by Raab and Butcher (2001) <doi:10.1002/1097-0258(20010215)20:3%3C351::AID-SIM797%3E3.0.CO;2-C> is suitable for cluster randomized trials (CRTs) with a small number of clusters (e.g., 20 or fewer). The procedure of constrained randomization is based on the baseline values of some cluster-level covariates specified. The intervention effect on the individual outcome can then be analyzed through clustered permutation test introduced by Gail, et al. (1996) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19960615)15:11%3C1069::AID-SIM220%3E3.0.CO;2-Q>. Motivated from Li, et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.7410>, the package performs constrained randomization on the baseline values of cluster-level covariates and clustered permutation test on the individual-level outcomes for cluster randomized trials.

R interface for RAPIDS cuML (<https://github.com/rapidsai/cuml>), a suite of GPU-accelerated machine learning libraries powered by CUDA (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA>).

This package provides functions for making contour plots. The contour plot can be created from grid data, a function, or a data set. If non-grid data is given, then a Gaussian process is fit to the data and used to create the contour plot.

This package provides a standardized and reproducible framework for characterizing and classifying discrete color classes from digital images of biological organisms. The package automatically determines the presence or absence of 10 human-visible color categories (black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, purple, red, white, yellow) using a biologically-inspired Color Look-Up Table (CLUT) that partitions HSV color space. Supports both fully automated and semi-automated (interactive) workflows with complete provenance tracking for reproducibility. Pre-processes images using the recolorize package (Weller et al. 2024 <doi:10.1111/ele.14378>) for spatial-color binning, and integrates with pavo (Maia et al. 2019 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13174>) for color pattern geometry statistics. Designed for high-throughput analysis and seamless integration with downstream evolutionary analyses.
