DataSHIELD is an infrastructure and series of R packages that enables the remote and non-disclosive analysis of sensitive research data. This DataSHIELD Interface implementation is for analyzing datasets living in the current R session. The purpose of this is primarily for lightweight DataSHIELD analysis package development.

This package provides a simple syntax to change the default values for function arguments, whether they are in packages or defined locally.

The hybrid model is a highly effective forecasting approach that integrates decomposition techniques with machine learning to enhance time series prediction accuracy. Each decomposition technique breaks down a time series into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), which are then individually modeled and forecasted using machine learning algorithms. The final forecast is obtained by aggregating the predictions of all IMFs, producing an ensemble output for the time series. The performance of the developed models is evaluated using international monthly maize price data, assessed through metrics such as root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and mean absolute error (MAE).

Density estimation for possibly large data sets and conditional/unconditional random number generation or bootstrapping with distribution element trees. The function det.construct translates a dataset into a distribution element tree. To evaluate the probability density based on a previously computed tree at arbitrary query points, the function det.query is available. The functions det1 and det2 provide density estimation and plotting for one- and two-dimensional datasets. Conditional/unconditional smooth bootstrapping from an available distribution element tree can be performed by det.rnd'. For more details on distribution element trees, see: Meyer, D.W. (2016) <arXiv:1610.00345> or Meyer, D.W., Statistics and Computing (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11222-017-9751-9> and Meyer, D.W. (2017) <arXiv:1711.04632> or Meyer, D.W., Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1482768>.

Data package for dartR'. Provides data sets to run examples in dartR'. This was necessary due to the size limit imposed by CRAN'. The data in dartR.data is needed to run the examples provided in the dartR functions. All available data sets are either based on actual data (but reduced in size) and/or simulated data sets to allow the fast execution of examples and demonstration of the functions.

Bindings for additional classification models for use with the parsnip package. Models include flavors of discriminant analysis, such as linear (Fisher (1936) <doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.1936.tb02137.x>), regularized (Friedman (1989) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1989.10478752>), and flexible (Hastie, Tibshirani, and Buja (1994) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1994.10476866>), as well as naive Bayes classifiers (Hand and Yu (2007) <doi:10.1111/j.1751-5823.2001.tb00465.x>).

Data depth concept offers a variety of powerful and user friendly tools for robust exploration and inference for multivariate data. The offered techniques may be successfully used in cases of lack of our knowledge on parametric models generating data due to their nature. The package consist of among others implementations of several data depth techniques involving multivariate quantile-quantile plots, multivariate scatter estimators, multivariate Wilcoxon tests and robust regressions.

Fit of a double additive location-scale model with a nonparametric error distribution from possibly right- or interval censored data. The additive terms in the location and dispersion submodels, as well as the unknown error distribution in the location-scale model, are estimated using Laplace P-splines. For more details, see Lambert (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107250>.

Gaussian mixture modeling of one- and two-dimensional data, provided in original or binned form, with an option to estimate the number of model components. The method uses Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) with initial parameters determined by a dynamic programming algorithm, leading to stable and reproducible model fitting.

This package provides a simple approach to measure political sophistication based on open-ended survey responses. Discursive sophistication captures the complexity of individual attitude expression by quantifying its relative size, range, and constraint. For more information on the measurement approach see: Kraft, Patrick W. 2023. "Women Also Know Stuff: Challenging the Gender Gap in Political Sophistication." American Political Science Review (forthcoming).

Post Global Financial Crisis derivatives reforms have lifted the veil off over-the-counter (OTC) derivative markets. Swap Execution Facilities (SEFs) and Swap Data Repositories (SDRs) now publish data on swaps that are traded on or reported to those facilities (respectively). This package provides you the ability to get this data from supported sources.

Consider ambiguity in probabilistic descriptions by replacing a parametric probabilistic description of uncertainty by a non-parametric set of probability distributions in the form of a Density Ratio Class. This is of particular interest in Bayesian inference. The Density Ratio Class is particularly suited for this purpose as it is invariant under Bayesian inference, marginalization, and propagation through a deterministic model. Here, invariant means that the result of the operation applied to a Density Ratio Class is again a Density Ratio Class. In particular the invariance under Bayesian inference thus enables iterative learning within the same framework of Density Ratio Classes. The use of imprecise probabilities in general, and Density Ratio Classes in particular, lead to intervals of characteristics of probability distributions, such as cumulative distribution functions, quantiles, and means. The package is based on a sample of the distribution proportional to the upper bound of the class. Typically this will be a sample from the posterior in Bayesian inference. Based on such a sample, the package provides functions to calculate lower and upper class boundaries and lower and upper bounds of cumulative distribution functions, and quantiles.

Fits Gaussian Mixtures by applying evolution. As fitness function a mixture of the chi square test for distributions and a novel measure for approximating the common area under curves between multiple Gaussians is used. The package presents an alternative to the commonly used Likelihood Maximization as is used in Expectation Maximization. The algorithm and applications of this package are published under: Lerch, F., Ultsch, A., Lotsch, J. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-57432-w>. The evolution is based on the GA package: Scrucca, L. (2013) <doi:10.18637/jss.v053.i04> while the Gaussian Mixture Logic stems from AdaptGauss': Ultsch, A, et al. (2015) <doi:10.3390/ijms161025897>.

Supporting the quantitative analysis of binary welfare based decision making processes using Monte Carlo simulations. Decision support is given on two levels: (i) The actual decision level is to choose between two alternatives under probabilistic uncertainty. This package calculates the optimal decision based on maximizing expected welfare. (ii) The meta decision level is to allocate resources to reduce the uncertainty in the underlying decision problem, i.e to increase the current information to improve the actual decision making process. This problem is dealt with using the Value of Information Analysis. The Expected Value of Information for arbitrary prospective estimates can be calculated as well as Individual Expected Value of Perfect Information. The probabilistic calculations are done via Monte Carlo simulations. This Monte Carlo functionality can be used on its own.
