This package provides a collection of functions for computing fairness metrics for machine learning and statistical models, including confidence intervals for each metric. The package supports the evaluation of group-level fairness criterion commonly used in fairness research, particularly in healthcare for binary protected attributes. It is based on the overview of fairness in machine learning written by Gao et al (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.09307>.

This package provides a friendly (flexible) Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework for implementing Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in a modular way allowing users to specify automatic convergence checker, personalized transition kernels, and out-of-the-box multiple MCMC chains using parallel computing. Most of the methods implemented in this package can be found in Brooks et al. (2011, ISBN 9781420079425). Among the methods included, we have: Haario (2001) <doi:10.1007/s11222-011-9269-5> Adaptive Metropolis, Vihola (2012) <doi:10.1007/s11222-011-9269-5> Robust Adaptive Metropolis, and Thawornwattana et al.

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. (2021) <doi:10.1126/sciadv.abf2675>, Carmona et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ecy.2876> for more information.

Accompanies a paper (Barunik, Krehlik (2018) <doi:10.1093/jjfinec/nby001>) dedicated to spectral decomposition of connectedness measures and their interpretation. We implement all the developed estimators as well as the historical counterparts.

This package implements parsimonious hidden Markov models for four-way data via expectation- conditional maximization algorithm, as described in Tomarchio et al. (2020) <arXiv:2107.04330>. The matrix-variate normal distribution is used as emission distribution. For each hidden state, parsimony is reached via the eigen-decomposition of the covariance matrices of the emission distribution. This produces a family of 98 parsimonious hidden Markov models.

Simulates plot data in multi-environment field trials with one or more traits. Its core function generates plot errors that capture spatial trend, random error (noise), and extraneous variation, which are combined at a user-defined ratio. Phenotypes can be generated by combining the plot errors with simulated genetic values that capture genotype-by-environment (GxE) interaction using wrapper functions for the R package `AlphaSimR`.

The main function of this package allows numerical vector objects to be displayed with their values in vulgar fractional form. This is convenient if patterns can then be more easily detected. In some cases replacing the components of a numeric vector by a rational approximation can also be expected to remove some component of round-off error. The main functions form a re-implementation of the functions fractions and rational of the MASS package, but using a radically improved programming strategy.

An implementation of the fair data adaptation with quantile preservation described in Plecko & Meinshausen (JMLR 2020, 21(242), 1-44). The adaptation procedure uses the specified causal graph to pre-process the given training and testing data in such a way to remove the bias caused by the protected attribute. The procedure uses tree ensembles for quantile regression. Instructions for using the methods are further elaborated in the corresponding JSS manuscript, see <doi:10.18637/jss.v110.i04>.

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.

The following several classes of frailty models using a penalized likelihood estimation on the hazard function but also a parametric estimation can be fit using this R package: 1) A shared frailty model (with gamma or log-normal frailty distribution) and Cox proportional hazard model. Clustered and recurrent survival times can be studied. 2) Additive frailty models for proportional hazard models with two correlated random effects (intercept random effect with random slope). 3) Nested frailty models for hierarchically clustered data (with 2 levels of clustering) by including two iid gamma random effects. 4) Joint frailty models in the context of the joint modelling for recurrent events with terminal event for clustered data or not. A joint frailty model for two semi-competing risks and clustered data is also proposed. 5) Joint general frailty models in the context of the joint modelling for recurrent events with terminal event data with two independent frailty terms. 6) Joint Nested frailty models in the context of the joint modelling for recurrent events with terminal event, for hierarchically clustered data (with two levels of clustering) by including two iid gamma random effects. 7) Multivariate joint frailty models for two types of recurrent events and a terminal event. 8) Joint models for longitudinal data and a terminal event. 9) Trivariate joint models for longitudinal data, recurrent events and a terminal event. 10) Joint frailty models for the validation of surrogate endpoints in multiple randomized clinical trials with failure-time and/or longitudinal endpoints with the possibility to use a mediation analysis model. 11) Conditional and Marginal two-part joint models for longitudinal semicontinuous data and a terminal event. 12) Joint frailty-copula models for the validation of surrogate endpoints in multiple randomized clinical trials with failure-time endpoints. 13) Generalized shared and joint frailty models for recurrent and terminal events. Proportional hazards (PH), additive hazard (AH), proportional odds (PO) and probit models are available in a fully parametric framework. For PH and AH models, it is possible to consider type-varying coefficients and flexible semiparametric hazard function. Prediction values are available (for a terminal event or for a new recurrent event). Left-truncated (not for Joint model), right-censored data, interval-censored data (only for Cox proportional hazard and shared frailty model) and strata are allowed. In each model, the random effects have the gamma or normal distribution. Now, you can also consider time-varying covariates effects in Cox, shared and joint frailty models (1-5). The package includes concordance measures for Cox proportional hazards models and for shared frailty models. 14) Competing Joint Frailty Model: A single type of recurrent event and two terminal events. 15) functions to compute power and sample size for four Gamma-frailty-based designs: Shared Frailty Models, Nested Frailty Models, Joint Frailty Models, and General Joint Frailty Models. Each design includes two primary functions: a power function, which computes power given a specified sample size; and a sample size function, which computes the required sample size to achieve a specified power. 16) Weibull Illness-Death model with or without shared frailty between transitions. Left-truncated and right-censored data are allowed. 17) Weibull Competing risks model with or without shared frailty between the transitions. Left-truncated and right-censored data are allowed. Moreover, the package can be used with its shiny application, in a local mode or by following the link below.
