Standardises and facilitates the use of eleven established stability properties that have been used to assess systemsâ responses to press or pulse disturbances at different ecological levels (e.g. population, community). There are two sets of functions. The first set corresponds to functions that measure stability at any level of organisation, from individual to community and can be applied to a time series of a systemâ s state variables (e.g., body mass, population abundance, or species diversity). The properties included in this set are: invariability, resistance, extent and rate of recovery, persistence, and overall ecological vulnerability. The second set of functions can be applied to Jacobian matrices. The functions in this set measure the stability of a community at short and long time scales. In the short term, the communityâ s response is measured by maximal amplification, reactivity and initial resilience (i.e. initial rate of return to equilibrium). In the long term, stability can be measured as asymptotic resilience and intrinsic stochastic invariability. Figueiredo et al. (2025) <doi:10.32942/X2M053>.

This package performs frequentist inference for the extremal index of a stationary time series. Two types of methodology are used. One type is based on a model that relates the distribution of block maxima to the marginal distribution of series and leads to the semiparametric maxima estimators described in Northrop (2015) <doi:10.1007/s10687-015-0221-5> and Berghaus and Bucher (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-AOS1621>. Sliding block maxima are used to increase precision of estimation. A graphical block size diagnostic is provided. The other type of methodology uses a model for the distribution of threshold inter-exceedance times (Ferro and Segers (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00401>). Three versions of this type of approach are provided: the iterated weight least squares approach of Suveges (2007) <doi:10.1007/s10687-007-0034-2>, the K-gaps model of Suveges and Davison (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS292> and a similar approach of Holesovsky and Fusek (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10687-020-00374-3> that we refer to as D-gaps. For the K-gaps and D-gaps models this package allows missing values in the data, can accommodate independent subsets of data, such as monthly or seasonal time series from different years, and can incorporate information from right-censored inter-exceedance times. Graphical diagnostics for the threshold level and the respective tuning parameters K and D are provided.

Estimates coefficients of extended LASSO penalized linear regression and generalized linear models. Currently lasso and elastic net penalized linear regression and generalized linear models are considered.

There is provision for plotting of the solutions and predictions of coefficients at given values of lambda. This package also contains functions for cross validation to select a suitable lambda value given the data. Also provides a function for estimation in fused lasso penalized linear regression. For more details, see Mandal, B. N.(2014). Computational methods for L1 penalized GLM model fitting, unpublished report submitted to Macquarie University, NSW, Australia.

Commonly used classification and regression tree methods like the CART algorithm are recursive partitioning methods that build the model in a forward stepwise search. Although this approach is known to be an efficient heuristic, the results of recursive tree methods are only locally optimal, as splits are chosen to maximize homogeneity at the next step only. An alternative way to search over the parameter space of trees is to use global optimization methods like evolutionary algorithms. The evtree package implements an evolutionary algorithm for learning globally optimal classification and regression trees in R. CPU and memory-intensive tasks are fully computed in C++ while the partykit package is leveraged to represent the resulting trees in R, providing unified infrastructure for summaries, visualizations, and predictions.
