The standard Difference-in-Differences (DID) setup involves two periods and two groups -- a treated group and untreated group. Many applications of DID methods involve more than two periods and have individuals that are treated at different points in time. This package contains tools for computing average treatment effect parameters in Difference in Differences setups with more than two periods and with variation in treatment timing using the methods developed in Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.12.001>. The main parameters are group-time average treatment effects which are the average treatment effect for a particular group at a a particular time. These can be aggregated into a fewer number of treatment effect parameters, and the package deals with the cases where there is selective treatment timing, dynamic treatment effects, calendar time effects, or combinations of these. There are also functions for testing the Difference in Differences assumption, and plotting group-time average treatment effects.

This package creates a data frame containing the metadata associated with the documentation of a collection of R packages. It allows for linking topic names to their corresponding documentation online. If you maintain a universe meta-package, it helps create a comprehensive reference for its website.

Dynamic slicing is a method designed for dependency detection between a categorical variable and a continuous variable. It could be applied for non-parametric hypothesis testing and gene set enrichment analysis.

Enhancing cross-language compatibility within the RStudio environment and supporting seamless language understanding, the deepRstudio package leverages the power of the DeepL API (see <https://www.deepl.com/docs-api>) to enable seamless, fast, accurate, and affordable translation of code comments, documents, and text. This package offers the ability to translate selected text into English (EN), as well as from English into various languages, namely Japanese (JA), Chinese (ZH), Spanish (ES), French (FR), Russian (RU), Portuguese (PT), and Indonesian (ID). With much of the text being written in English, the emphasis is on compatibility from English. It is also designed for developers working on multilingual projects and data analysts collaborating with international teams, simplifying the translation process and making code more accessible and comprehensible to people with diverse language backgrounds. This package uses the rstudioapi package and DeepL API, and is simply implemented, executed from addins or via shortcuts on RStudio'. With just a few steps, content can be translated between supported languages, promoting better collaboration and expanding the global reach of work. The functionality of this package works only on RStudio using rstudioapi'.

This package provides a Bayesian hierarchical model for clustering dissimilarity data using the Dirichlet process. The latent configuration of objects and the number of clusters are automatically inferred during the fitting process. The package supports multiple models which are available to detect clusters of various shapes and sizes using different covariance structures. Additional functions are included to ensure adequate model fits through prior and posterior predictive checks.

Analysis of agreement for nominal data between two raters using the Delta model. This model is proposed as an alternative to the widespread measure Cohen kappa coefficient, which performs poorly when the marginal distributions are very asymmetric (Martin-Andres and Femia-Marzo (2004), <doi:10.1348/000711004849268>; Martin-Andres and Femia-Marzo (2008) <doi:10.1080/03610920701669884>). The package also contains a function to perform a massive analysis of multiple raters against a gold standard. A shiny app is also provided to obtain the measures of nominal agreement between two raters.

Implement DiSTATIS and CovSTATIS (three-way multidimensional scaling). DiSTATIS and CovSTATIS are used to analyze multiple distance/covariance matrices collected on the same set of observations.

Implementation of three methods based on the diversity forest (DF) algorithm (Hornung, 2022, <doi:10.1007/s42979-021-00920-1>), a split-finding approach that enables complex split procedures in random forests. The package includes: 1. Interaction forests (IFs) (Hornung & Boulesteix, 2022, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2022.107460>): Model quantitative and qualitative interaction effects using bivariable splitting. Come with the Effect Importance Measure (EIM), which can be used to identify variable pairs that have well-interpretable quantitative and qualitative interaction effects with high predictive relevance. 2. Two random forest-based variable importance measures (VIMs) for multi-class outcomes: the class-focused VIM, which ranks covariates by their ability to distinguish individual outcome classes from the others, and the discriminatory VIM, which measures overall covariate influence irrespective of class-specific relevance. 3. The basic form of diversity forests that uses conventional univariable, binary splitting (Hornung, 2022). Except for the multi-class VIMs, all methods support categorical, metric, and survival outcomes. The package includes visualization tools for interpreting the identified covariate effects. Built as a fork of the ranger R package (main author: Marvin N. Wright), which implements random forests using an efficient C++ implementation.

Discriminant Analysis (DA) for evolutionary inference (Qin, X. et al, 2020, <doi:10.22541/au.159256808.83862168>), especially for population genetic structure and community structure inference. This package incorporates the commonly used linear and non-linear, local and global supervised learning approaches (discriminant analysis), including Linear Discriminant Analysis of Kernel Principal Components (LDAKPC), Local (Fisher) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LFDA), Local (Fisher) Discriminant Analysis of Kernel Principal Components (LFDAKPC) and Kernel Local (Fisher) Discriminant Analysis (KLFDA). These discriminant analyses can be used to do ecological and evolutionary inference, including demography inference, species identification, and population/community structure inference.

This MCMC method takes a data numeric vector (Y) and assigns the elements of Y to a (potentially infinite) number of normal distributions. The individual normal distributions from a mixture of normals can be inferred. Following the method described in Escobar (1994) <doi:10.2307/2291223> we use a Dirichlet Process Prior (DPP) to describe stochastically our prior assumptions about the dimensionality of the data.

This package implements the Improved Expectation Maximisation EM* and the traditional EM algorithm for clustering big data (gaussian mixture models for both multivariate and univariate datasets). This version implements the faster alternative-EM* that expedites convergence via structure based data segregation. The implementation supports both random and K-means++ based initialization.

For identifying, estimating, and plotting descriptive multidimensional item response theory models, restricted to 3D and dichotomous or polytomous data that fit the two-parameter logistic model or the graded response model. The method is foremost explorative and centered around the plot function that exposes item characteristics and constructs, represented by vector arrows, located in a three-dimensional interactive latent space. The results can be useful for item-level analysis as well as test development.
