Analyze functional data and its change points. Includes functionality to store and process data, summarize and validate assumptions, characterize and perform inference of change points, and provide visualizations. Data is stored as discretely collected observations without requiring the selection of basis functions. For more details see chapter 8 of Horvath and Rice (2024) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-51609-2>. Additional papers are forthcoming. Focused works are also included in the documentation of corresponding functions.

This package provides a toolkit for Flux Balance Analysis and related metabolic modeling techniques. Functions are provided for: parsing models in tabular format, converting parsed metabolic models to input formats for common linear programming solvers, and evaluating and applying gene-protein-reaction mappings. In addition, there are wrappers to parse a model, select a solver, find the metabolic fluxes, and return the results applied to the original model. Compared to other packages in this field, this package puts a much heavier focus on providing reusable components that can be used in the design of new implementation of new techniques, in particular those that involve large parameter sweeps. For a background on the theory, see What is Flux Balance Analysis <doi:10.1038/nbt.1614>.

This package provides a novel forward stepwise discriminant analysis framework that integrates Pillai's trace with Uncorrelated Linear Discriminant Analysis (ULDA), providing an improvement over traditional stepwise LDA methods that rely on Wilks Lambda. A stand-alone ULDA implementation is also provided, offering a more general solution than the one available in the MASS package. It automatically handles missing values and provides visualization tools. For more details, see Wang (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.03136>.

Tabacchi et al. (2011) published a very detailed study producing a uniform system of functions to estimate tree volume and phytomass components (stem, branches, stool). The estimates of the 2005 Italian forest inventory (<https://www.inventarioforestale.org/it/>) are based on these functions. The study documents the domain of applicability of each function and the equations to quantify estimates accuracies for individual estimates as well as for aggregated estimates. This package makes the functions available in the R environment. Version 2 exposes two distinct functions for individual and summary estimates. To facilitate access to the functions, tree species identification is now based on EPPO species codes (<https://data.eppo.int/>).

This package provides methods to solve Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems with fuzzy constraints (following different approaches proposed by Verdegay, Zimmermann, Werners and Tanaka), fuzzy costs, and fuzzy technological matrix.

For ordinal rating data, consider the accelerated EM algorithm to estimate and test models within the family of CUB models (where CUB stands for Combination of a discrete Uniform and a shifted Binomial distributions). The procedure is built upon Louis identity for the observed information matrix. Best-subset variable selection is then implemented since it becomes more feasible from the computational point of view.

This package implements the Fixed Effect Jackknife Instrumental Variables ('FEJIV') estimator of Chao, Swanson, and Woutersen (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.12.011>, allowing consistent IV estimation with many (possibly weak) instruments, cluster fixed effects, heteroskedastic errors, and many exogenous covariates. The estimator is recommended by SÅ oczyÅ ski (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2011.06695> as an alternative to two-stage least squares when estimating the interacted specification of Angrist and Imbens (1995) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1995.10476535>.

They allow for computing any arithmetic operations (e.g., by using the Zadeh extension principle), performing approximation of arbitrary fuzzy numbers by trapezoidal and piecewise linear ones, preparing plots for publications, computing possibility and necessity values for comparisons, etc.

This package provides functions to compute fuzzy versions of species occurrence patterns based on presence-absence data (including inverse distance interpolation, trend surface analysis, and prevalence-independent favourability obtained from probability of presence), as well as pair-wise fuzzy similarity (based on fuzzy logic versions of commonly used similarity indices) among those occurrence patterns. Includes also functions for model consensus and comparison (overlap and fuzzy similarity, fuzzy loss, fuzzy gain), and for data preparation, such as obtaining unique abbreviations of species names, defining the background region, cleaning and gridding (thinning) point occurrence data onto raster maps, selecting among (pseudo)absences to address survey bias, converting species lists (long format) to presence-absence tables (wide format), transposing part of a data frame, selecting relevant variables for models, assessing the false discovery rate, or analysing and dealing with multicollinearity. Initially described in Barbosa (2015) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12372>.

Computes six functional diversity indices. These are namely, Functional Divergence (FDiv), Function Evenness (FEve), Functional Richness (FRic), Functional Richness intersections (FRic_intersect), Functional Dispersion (FDis), and Rao's entropy (Q) (reviewed in Villéger et al. 2008 <doi:10.1890/07-1206.1>). Provides efficient, modular, and parallel functions to compute functional diversity indices (preprint: <doi:10.32942/osf.io/dg7hw>).

This package provides a structured profile likelihood algorithm for the logistic fixed effects model and an approximate expectation maximization (EM) algorithm for the logistic mixed effects model. Based on He, K., Kalbfleisch, J.D., Li, Y. and Li, Y. (2013) <doi:10.1007/s10985-013-9264-6>.

This package provides core computational operations in C++ via RcppArmadillo', enabling faster performance than pure R, improved numerical stability, and parallel execution with OpenMP where available. On systems without OpenMP support, the package automatically falls back to single-threaded execution with no user configuration required. For efficient model selection, it integrates with CVST to provide sequential-testing cross-validation that identifies competitive hyperparameters without exhaustive grid search. The package offers a unified interface for exact kernel ridge regression and three scalable approximationsâ Nyström, Pivoted Cholesky, and Random Fourier Featuresâ allowing analyses with substantially larger sample sizes than are feasible with exact KRR. It also integrates with the tidymodels ecosystem via the parsnip model specification krr_reg', and the S3 method tunable.krr_reg(). To understand the theoretical background, one can refer to Wainwright (2019) <doi:10.1017/9781108627771>.
