The univariate statistical quality control tool aims to address measurement error effects when constructing exponentially weighted moving average p control charts. The method primarily focuses on binary random variables, but it can be applied to any continuous random variables by using sign statistic to transform them to discrete ones. With the correction of measurement error effects, we can obtain the corrected control limits of exponentially weighted moving average p control chart and reasonably adjusted exponentially weighted moving average p control charts. The methods in this package can be found in some relevant references, such as Chen and Yang (2022) <arXiv: 2203.03384>; Yang et al. (2011) <doi: 10.1016/j.eswa.2010.11.044>; Yang and Arnold (2014) <doi: 10.1155/2014/238719>; Yang (2016) <doi: 10.1080/03610918.2013.763980> and Yang and Arnold (2016) <doi: 10.1080/00949655.2015.1125901>.

This package provides a small set of functions for managing R environments, with defaults designed to encourage usage patterns that scale well to larger code bases. It provides: import_from(), a flexible way to assign bindings that defaults to the current environment; include(), a vectorized alternative to base::source() that also default to the current environment; and attach_eval() and attach_source(), a way to evaluate expressions in attached environments. Together, these (and other) functions pair to provide a robust alternative to base::library() and base::source().

Analysing data from evaluations of educational interventions using a randomised controlled trial design. Various analytical tools to perform sensitivity analysis using different methods are supported (e.g. frequentist models with bootstrapping and permutations options, Bayesian models). The included commands can be used for simple randomised trials, cluster randomised trials and multisite trials. The methods can also be used more widely beyond education trials. This package can be used to evaluate other intervention designs using Frequentist and Bayesian multilevel models.

Production efficiency and economic efficiency are crucial concepts in agriculture/horticulture for sustainable and profitable practices. It helps to determine the optimal use of resources to maximize outputs and profitability. Production efficiency focuses on the optimal use of resources to produce goods, while economic efficiency ensures these goods are produced and allocated in a way that maximizes economic welfare. Production efficiency and economic efficiency are calculated with the help of the formula given by (Kumar et al., 2017) <doi:10.21921/jas.v4i04.10202>.

Easily compute education inequality measures and the distribution of educational attainments for any group of countries, using the data set developed in Jorda, V. and Alonso, JM. (2017) <DOI:10.1016/j.worlddev.2016.10.005>. The package offers the possibility to compute not only the Gini index, but also generalized entropy measures for different values of the sensitivity parameter. In particular, the package includes functions to compute the mean log deviation, which is more sensitive to the bottom part of the distribution; the Theilâ s entropy measure, equally sensitive to all parts of the distribution; and finally, the GE measure when the sensitivity parameter is set equal to 2, which gives more weight to differences in higher education. The decomposition of these measures in the components between-country and within-country inequality is also provided. Two graphical tools are also provided, to analyse the evolution of the distribution of educational attainments: The cumulative distribution function and the Lorenz curve.

Routines for performing empirical calibration of observational study estimates. By using a set of negative control hypotheses we can estimate the empirical null distribution of a particular observational study setup. This empirical null distribution can be used to compute a calibrated p-value, which reflects the probability of observing an estimated effect size when the null hypothesis is true taking both random and systematic error into account. A similar approach can be used to calibrate confidence intervals, using both negative and positive controls. For more details, see Schuemie et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5925> and Schuemie et al. (2018) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1708282114>.
