This package provides tools for training and analysing fairness-aware gated neural networks for subgroup-aware prediction and interpretation in clinical datasets. Methods draw on prior work in mixture-of-experts neural networks by Jordan and Jacobs (1994) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4471-2097-1_113>, fairness-aware learning by Hardt, Price, and Srebro (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1610.02413>, and personalised treatment prediction for depression by Iniesta, Stahl, and McGuffin (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jpsychires.2016.03.016>.

This package performs functional regression, and some related approaches, for intensive longitudinal data (see the book by Walls & Schafer, 2006, Models for Intensive Longitudinal Data, Oxford) when such data is not necessarily observed on an equally spaced grid of times. The approach generally follows the ideas of Goldsmith, Bobb, Crainiceanu, Caffo, and Reich (2011)<DOI:10.1198/jcgs.2010.10007> and the approach taken in their sample code, but with some modifications to make it more feasible to use with long rather than wide, non-rectangular longitudinal datasets with unequal and potentially random measurement times. It also allows easy plotting of the correlation between the smoothed covariate and the outcome as a function of time, which can add additional insights on how to interpret a functional regression. Additionally, it also provides several permutation tests for the significance of the functional predictor. The heuristic interpretation of ``time is used to describe the index of the functional predictor, but the same methods can equally be used for another unidimensional continuous index, such as space along a north-south axis. Note that most of the functionality of this package has been superseded by added features after 2016 in the pfr function by Jonathan Gellar, Mathew W. McLean, Jeff Goldsmith, and Fabian Scheipl, in the refund package built by Jeff Goldsmith and co-authors and maintained by Julia Wrobel. The development of the funreg package in 2015 and 2016 was part of a research project supported by Award R03 CA171809-01 from the National Cancer Institute and Award P50 DA010075 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

This package contains Rcpp and RcppEigen implementations of matrix operations useful for Gaussian process models, such as the inversion of a symmetric Toeplitz matrix, sampling from multivariate normal distributions, evaluation of the log-density of a multivariate normal vector, and Bayesian inference for latent variable Gaussian process models with elliptical slice sampling (Murray, Adams, and MacKay 2010).

An efficient algorithm to fit and tune kernel quantile regression models based on the majorization-minimization (MM) method. It can also fit multiple quantile curves simultaneously without crossing.

This package contains a set of functions that can be used to apply formats to data frames or vectors. The package aims to provide functionality similar to that of SAS® formats. Formats are assigned to the format attribute on data frame columns. Then when the fdata() function is called, a new data frame is created with the column data formatted as specified. The package also contains a value() function to create a user-defined format, similar to a SAS® user-defined format.

This package implements a novel approach for measuring feature importance in k-means clustering. Importance of a feature is measured by the misclassification rate relative to the baseline cluster assignment due to a random permutation of feature values. An explanation of permutation feature importance in general can be found here: <https://christophm.github.io/interpretable-ml-book/feature-importance.html>.

Uses three different correlation coefficients to calculate measurement-level adequate correlations in a feature matrix: Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, Intraclass correlation and Cramer's V.

TrainFastImputation() uses training data to describe a multivariate normal distribution that the data approximates or can be transformed into approximating and stores this information as an object of class FastImputationPatterns'. FastImputation() function uses this FastImputationPatterns object to impute (make a good guess at) missing data in a single line or a whole data frame of data. This approximates the process used by Amelia <https://gking.harvard.edu/amelia> but is much faster when filling in values for a single line of data.

An implementation of a clustering algorithm for functional data based on adaptive density peak detection technique, in which the density is estimated by functional k-nearest neighbor density estimation based on a proposed semi-metric between functions. The proposed functional data clustering algorithm is computationally fast since it does not need iterative process. (Alex Rodriguez and Alessandro Laio (2014) <doi:10.1126/science.1242072>; Xiao-Feng Wang and Yifan Xu (2016) <doi:10.1177/0962280215609948>).

Play or simulate games of "Four in a Row" in the R console. This package is designed for educational purposes, encouraging users to write their own functions to play the game automatically. It contains a collection of built-in functions that play the game at various skill levels, for users to test their own functions against.

This package contains a set of utilities for building and testing statistical models (linear, logistic,ordinal or COX) for Computer Aided Diagnosis/Prognosis applications.

Easy installation, loading and management, of high-performance packages for statistical computing and data manipulation in R. The core fastverse consists of 4 packages: data.table', collapse', kit and magrittr', that jointly only depend on Rcpp'. The fastverse can be freely and permanently extended with additional packages, both globally or for individual projects. Separate package verses can also be created. Fast packages for many common tasks such as time series, dates and times, strings, spatial data, statistics, data serialization, larger-than-memory processing, and compilation of R code are listed in the README file: <https://github.com/fastverse/fastverse#suggested-extensions>.

An implementation of the methodology described in Petersen and Mueller (2016) <doi:10.1214/15-AOS1363> for the functional data analysis of samples of density functions. Densities are first transformed to their corresponding log quantile densities, followed by ordinary Functional Principal Components Analysis (FPCA). Transformation modes of variation yield improved interpretation of the variability in the data as compared to FPCA on the densities themselves. The standard fraction of variance explained (FVE) criterion commonly used for functional data is adapted to the transformation setting, also allowing for an alternative quantification of variability for density data through the Wasserstein metric of optimal transport.

Diagnostic plots for optimisation, with a focus on projection pursuit. These show paths the optimiser takes in the high-dimensional space in multiple ways: by reducing the dimension using principal component analysis, and also using the tour to show the path on the high-dimensional space. Several botanical colour palettes are included, reflecting the name of the package. A paper describing the methodology can be found at <https://journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-2021-105/index.html>.

Given a multivariate dataset and some knowledge about the dependencies between its features, it is customary to fit a statistical model to the features to infer parameters of interest. Such a procedure implicitly assumes that the sample is exchangeable. This package provides a flexible non-parametric test of this exchangeability assumption, allowing the user to specify the feature dependencies by hand as long as features can be grouped into disjoint independent sets. This package also allows users to test a dual hypothesis, which is, given that the sample is exchangeable, does a proposed grouping of the features into disjoint sets also produce statistically independent sets of features? See Aw, Spence and Song (2023) for the accompanying paper.
