This package provides a Shiny'-based toolkit for item/test analysis. It is designed for multiple-choice, true-false, and open-ended questions. The toolkit is usable with datasets in 1-0 or other formats. Key analyses include difficulty, discrimination, response-option analysis, reports. The classical test theory methods used are described in Ebel & Frisbie (1991, ISBN:978-0132892314).

Data sets from the book "Forecasting with exponential smoothing: the state space approach" by Hyndman, Koehler, Ord and Snyder (Springer, 2008).

This package implements a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to approximate exact conditional inference for logistic regression models. Exact conditional inference is based on the distribution of the sufficient statistics for the parameters of interest given the sufficient statistics for the remaining nuisance parameters. Using model formula notation, users specify a logistic model and model terms of interest for exact inference. See Zamar et al. (2007) <doi:10.18637/jss.v021.i03> for more details.

The README file has a quick introduction. See <https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet> for more information on the Epanet software for modeling hydraulic and water quality behavior of water piping systems.

An implementation of Extreme Bounds Analysis (EBA), a global sensitivity analysis that examines the robustness of determinants in regression models. The package supports both Leamer's and Sala-i-Martin's versions of EBA, and allows users to customize all aspects of the analysis.

This package implements comprehensive test data engineering methods as described in Shojima (2022, ISBN:978-9811699856). Provides statistical techniques for engineering and processing test data: Classical Test Theory (CTT) with reliability coefficients for continuous ability assessment; Item Response Theory (IRT) including Rasch, 2PL, and 3PL models with item/test information functions; Latent Class Analysis (LCA) for nominal clustering; Latent Rank Analysis (LRA) for ordinal clustering with automatic determination of cluster numbers; Biclustering methods including infinite relational models for simultaneous clustering of examinees and items without predefined cluster numbers; and Bayesian Network Models (BNM) for visualizing inter-item dependencies. Features local dependence analysis through LRA and biclustering, parameter estimation, dimensionality assessment, and network structure visualization for educational, psychological, and social science research.

The peak fitting of spectral data is performed by using the frame work of EM algorithm. We adapted the EM algorithm for the peak fitting of spectral data set by considering the weight of the intensity corresponding to the measurement energy steps (Matsumura, T., Nagamura, N., Akaho, S., Nagata, K., & Ando, Y. (2019, 2021 and 2023) <doi:10.1080/14686996.2019.1620123>, <doi:10.1080/27660400.2021.1899449> <doi:10.1080/27660400.2022.2159753>. The package efficiently estimates the parameters of Gaussian mixture model during iterative calculation between E-step and M-step, and the parameters are converged to a local optimal solution. This package can support the investigation of peak shift with two advantages: (1) a large amount of data can be processed at high speed; and (2) stable and automatic calculation can be easily performed.

Downloads a satellite image via ESRI and maptiles (these are originally from a variety of aerial photography sources), translates the image into a perceptually uniform color space, runs one of a few different clustering algorithms on the colors in the image searching for a user-supplied number of colors, and returns the resulting color palette.

Fits the space-time Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence ('ETAS') model to earthquake catalogs using a stochastic declustering approach. The ETAS model is a spatio-temporal marked point process model and a special case of the Hawkes process. The package is based on a Fortran program by Jiancang Zhuang (available at <https://bemlar.ism.ac.jp/zhuang/software.html>), which is modified and translated into C++ and C such that it can be called from R. Parallel computing with OpenMP is possible on supported platforms.

This package provides functions for treatment effect estimation, hypothesis testing, and future study design for settings where the surrogate is used in place of the primary outcome for individuals for whom the surrogate is valid, and the primary outcome is purposefully measured in the remaining patients. More details are available in: Knowlton, R., Parast, L. (2024) ``Efficient Testing Using Surrogate Information," Biometrical Journal, 67(6): e70086, <doi:10.1002/bimj.70086>. A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/etsi>.

Providing easy, portable access to NASA EarthData products through the use of bearer tokens. Much of NASA's public data catalogs hosted and maintained by its 12 Distributed Active Archive Centers ('DAACs') are now made available on the Amazon Web Services S3 storage. However, accessing this data through the standard S3 API is restricted to only to compute resources running inside us-west-2 Data Center in Portland, Oregon, which allows NASA to avoid being charged data egress rates. This package provides public access to the data from any networked device by using the EarthData login application programming interface (API), <https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/earthdata-login>, providing convenient authentication and access to cloud-hosted NASA EarthData products. This makes access to a wide range of earth observation data from any location straight forward and compatible with R packages that are widely used with cloud native earth observation data (such as terra', sf', etc.).

Some utility functions for validation and data manipulation. These functions can be helpful to reduce internal codes everywhere in package development.

Three sets of data and functions for informing ecosystem restoration decisions, particularly in the context of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. First, model parameters are compiled as a data set and associated metadata for over 300 habitat suitability models developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS 1980, <https://www.fws.gov/policy-library/870fw1>). Second, functions for conducting habitat suitability analyses both for the models described above as well as generic user-specified model parameterizations. Third, a suite of decision support tools for conducting cost-effectiveness and incremental cost analyses (Robinson et al. 1995, IWR Report 95-R-1, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers).

This package implements the exponential Factor Copula Model (eFCM) of Castro-Camilo, D. and Huser, R. (2020) for spatial extremes, with tools for dependence estimation, tail inference, and visualization. The package supports likelihood-based inference, Gaussian process modeling via Matérn covariance functions, and bootstrap uncertainty quantification. See Castro-Camilo and Huser (2020) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2019.1647842>.

This package creates simple or stacked epidemic curves for hourly, daily, weekly or monthly outcome data.

This package provides a consistent set of functions for enriching and analyzing sovereign-level economic data. Economists, data scientists, and financial professionals can use the package to add standardized identifiers, demographic and macroeconomic indicators, and derived metrics such as gross domestic product per capita or government expenditure shares.

Presents two methods to estimate the parameters mu', sigma', and tau of an ex-Gaussian distribution. Those methods are Quantile Maximization Likelihood Estimation ('QMLE') and Bayesian. The QMLE method allows a choice between three different estimation algorithms for these parameters : neldermead ('NEMD'), fminsearch ('FMIN'), and nlminb ('NLMI'). For more details about the methods you can refer at the following list: Brown, S., & Heathcote, A. (2003) <doi:10.3758/BF03195527>; McCormack, P. D., & Wright, N. M. (1964) <doi:10.1037/h0083285>; Van Zandt, T. (2000) <doi:10.3758/BF03214357>; El Haj, A., Slaoui, Y., Solier, C., & Perret, C. (2021) <doi:10.19139/soic-2310-5070-1251>; Gilks, W. R., Best, N. G., & Tan, K. K. C. (1995) <doi:10.2307/2986138>.

Life Table Response Experiments (LTREs) are a method of comparative demographic analysis. The purpose is to quantify how the difference or variance in vital rates (stage-specific survival, growth, and fertility) among populations contributes to difference or variance in the population growth rate, "lambda." We provide functions for one-way fixed design and random design LTRE, using either the classical methods that have been in use for several decades, or an fANOVA-based exact method that directly calculates the impact on lambda of changes in matrix elements, for matrix elements and their interactions. The equations and descriptions for the classical methods of LTRE analysis can be found in Caswell (2001, ISBN: 0878930965), and the fANOVA-based exact methods are described in Hernandez et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14065>. We also provide some demographic functions, including generation time from Bienvenu and Legendre (2015) <doi:10.1086/681104>. For implementation of exactLTRE where all possible interactions are calculated, we use an operator matrix presented in Poelwijk, Krishna, and Ranganathan (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004771>.

This package creates family objects identical to stats family but for new links.

Several web services are available that provide access to elevation data. This package provides access to many of those services and returns elevation data either as an sf simple features object from point elevation services or as a raster object from raster elevation services. In future versions, elevatr will drop support for raster and will instead return terra objects. Currently, the package supports access to the Amazon Web Services Terrain Tiles <https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/>, the Open Topography Global Datasets API <https://opentopography.org/developers/>, and the USGS Elevation Point Query Service <https://apps.nationalmap.gov/epqs/>.

This package implements the Bayesian and likelihood methods proposed in Imai, Lu, and Strauss (2008 <doi:10.1093/pan/mpm017>) and (2011 <doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i05>) for ecological inference in 2 by 2 tables as well as the method of bounds introduced by Duncan and Davis (1953). The package fits both parametric and nonparametric models using either the Expectation-Maximization algorithms (for likelihood models) or the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (for Bayesian models). For all models, the individual-level data can be directly incorporated into the estimation whenever such data are available. Along with in-sample and out-of-sample predictions, the package also provides a functionality which allows one to quantify the effect of data aggregation on parameter estimation and hypothesis testing under the parametric likelihood models.

This package performs parallel analysis (Timmerman & Lorenzo-Seva, 2011 <doi:10.1037/a0023353>) and hull method (Lorenzo-Seva, Timmerman, & Kiers, 2011 <doi:10.1080/00273171.2011.564527>) for assessing the dimensionality of a set of variables using minimum rank factor analysis (see ten Berge & Kiers, 1991 <doi:10.1007/BF02294464> for more information). The package also includes the option to compute minimum rank factor analysis by itself, as well as the greater lower bound calculation.
