An implementation of sparsity-ranked lasso and related methods for time series data. This methodology is especially useful for large time series with exogenous features and/or complex seasonality. Originally described in Peterson and Cavanaugh (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10182-021-00431-7> in the context of variable selection with interactions and/or polynomials, ranked sparsity is a philosophy with methods useful for variable selection in the presence of prior informational asymmetry. This situation exists for time series data with complex seasonality, as shown in Peterson and Cavanaugh (2024) <doi:10.1177/1471082X231225307>, which also describes this package in greater detail. The sparsity-ranked penalization methods for time series implemented in fastTS can fit large/complex/high-frequency time series quickly, even with a high-dimensional exogenous feature set. The method is considerably faster than its competitors, while often producing more accurate predictions. Also included is a long hourly series of arrivals into the University of Iowa Emergency Department with concurrent local temperature.

Estimation of functional spaces based on traits of organisms. The package includes functions to impute missing trait values (with or without considering phylogenetic information), and to create, represent and analyse two dimensional functional spaces based on principal components analysis, other ordination methods, or raw traits. It also allows for mapping a third variable onto the functional space. See Carmona et al. (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41586-021-03871-y>, Puglielli et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/nph.16952>, Carmona et al.

Fresh biomass determination is the key to evaluating crop genotypes response to diverse input and stress conditions and forms the basis for calculating net primary production. However, as conventional phenotyping approaches for measuring fresh biomass is time-consuming, laborious and destructive, image-based phenotyping methods are being widely used now. In the image-based approach, the fresh weight of the above-ground part of the plant depends on the projected area. For determining the projected area, the visual image of the plant is converted into the grayscale image by simply averaging the Red(R), Green (G) and Blue (B) pixel values. Grayscale image is then converted into a binary image using Otsuâ s thresholding method Otsu, N. (1979) <doi:10.1109/TSMC.1979.4310076> to separate plant area from the background (image segmentation). The segmentation process was accomplished by selecting the pixels with values over the threshold value belonging to the plant region and other pixels to the background region. The resulting binary image consists of white and black pixels representing the plant and background regions. Finally, the number of pixels inside the plant region was counted and converted to square centimetres (cm2) using the reference object (any object whose actual area is known previously) to get the projected area. After that, the projected area is used as input to the machine learning model (Linear Model, Artificial Neural Network, and Support Vector Regression) to determine the plant's fresh weight.

Schemes such as Fast Iterative Shrinkage and Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA) by Beck and Teboulle (2009) <doi:10.1137/080716542> and the adaptive stepsize rule introduced in Wright, Nowak, and Figueiredo (2009) <doi:10.1109/TSP.2009.2016892> are included. You provide the objective function and proximal mappings, and it takes care of the issues like stepsize selection, acceleration, and stopping conditions for you.

The functions provided in the FADA (Factor Adjusted Discriminant Analysis) package aim at performing supervised classification of high-dimensional and correlated profiles. The procedure combines a decorrelation step based on a factor modeling of the dependence among covariates and a classification method. The available methods are Lasso regularized logistic model (see Friedman et al. (2010)), sparse linear discriminant analysis (see Clemmensen et al. (2011)), shrinkage linear and diagonal discriminant analysis (see M. Ahdesmaki et al. (2010)). More methods of classification can be used on the decorrelated data provided by the package FADA.

Three methods are implemented in R to facilitate the aggregations of flags in official statistics. From the underlying flags the highest in the hierarchy, the most frequent, or with the highest total weight is propagated to the flag(s) for EU or other aggregates. Below there are some reference documents for the topic: <https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/CL_OBS_STATUS_v2_1.docx>, <https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/CL_CONF_STATUS_1_2_2018.docx>, <http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database/information>, <http://www.oecd.org/sdd/33869551.pdf>, <https://sdmx.org/wp-content/uploads/CL_OBS_STATUS_implementation_20-10-2014.pdf>.

Standard generalized additive models assume a response function, which induces an assumption on the shape of the distribution of the response. However, miss-specifying the response function results in biased estimates. Therefore in Spiegel et al. (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11222-017-9799-6> we propose to estimate the response function jointly with the covariate effects. This package provides the underlying functions to estimate these generalized additive models with flexible response functions. The estimation is based on an iterative algorithm. In the outer loop the response function is estimated, while in the inner loop the covariate effects are determined. For the response function a strictly monotone P-spline is used while the covariate effects are estimated based on a modified Fisher-Scoring algorithm. Overall the estimation relies on the mgcv'-package.
