This package contains functions to implement automated covariate selection using methods described in the high-dimensional propensity score (HDPS) algorithm by Schneeweiss et.al. Covariate adjustment in real-world-observational-data (RWD) is important for for estimating adjusted outcomes and this can be done by using methods such as, but not limited to, propensity score matching, propensity score weighting and regression analysis. While these methods strive to statistically adjust for confounding, the major challenge is in selecting the potential covariates that can bias the outcomes comparison estimates in observational RWD (Real-World-Data). This is where the utility of automated covariate selection comes in. The functions in this package help to implement the three major steps of automated covariate selection as described by Schneeweiss et. al elsewhere. These three functions, in order of the steps required to execute automated covariate selection are, get_candidate_covariates(), get_recurrence_covariates() and get_prioritised_covariates(). In addition to these functions, a sample real-world-data from publicly available de-identified medical claims data is also available for running examples and also for further exploration. The original article where the algorithm is described by Schneeweiss et.al. (2009) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3181a663cc> .

This package provides tools for constructing a matched design with multiple comparison groups. Further specifications of refined covariate balance restriction and exact match on covariate can be imposed. Matches are approximately optimal in the sense that the cost of the solution is at most twice the optimal cost, Crama and Spieksma (1992) <doi:10.1016/0377-2217(92)90078-N>, Karmakar, Small and Rosenbaum (2019) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1584900>.

This package provides functions to analyse overdispersed counts or proportions.

The method of anticlustering partitions a pool of elements into groups (i.e., anticlusters) with the goal of maximizing between-group similarity or within-group heterogeneity. The anticlustering approach thereby reverses the logic of cluster analysis that strives for high within-group homogeneity and clear separation between groups. Computationally, anticlustering is accomplished by maximizing instead of minimizing a clustering objective function, such as the intra-cluster variance (used in k-means clustering) or the sum of pairwise distances within clusters. The main function anticlustering() gives access to optimal and heuristic anticlustering methods described in Papenberg and Klau (2021; <doi:10.1037/met0000301>), Brusco et al. (2020; <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12186>), Papenberg (2024; <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12315>), Papenberg, Wang, et al. (2025; <doi:10.1016/j.crmeth.2025.101137>), Papenberg, Breuer, et al. (2025; <doi:10.1017/psy.2025.10052>), and Yang et al. (2022; <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2022.02.003>). The optimal algorithms require that an integer linear programming solver is installed. This package will install lpSolve (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=lpSolve>) as a default solver, but it is also possible to use the package Rglpk (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=Rglpk>), which requires the GNU linear programming kit (<https://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html>), the package Rsymphony (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=Rsymphony>), which requires the SYMPHONY ILP solver (<https://github.com/coin-or/SYMPHONY>), or the commercial solver Gurobi, which provides its own R package that is not available via CRAN (<https://www.gurobi.com/downloads/>). Rglpk', Rsymphony', gurobi and their system dependencies have to be manually installed by the user because they are only suggested dependencies. Full access to the bicriterion anticlustering method proposed by Brusco et al. (2020) is given via the function bicriterion_anticlustering(), while kplus_anticlustering() implements the full functionality of the k-plus anticlustering approach proposed by Papenberg (2024). Some other functions are available to solve classical clustering problems. The function balanced_clustering() applies a cluster analysis under size constraints, i.e., creates equal-sized clusters. The function matching() can be used for (unrestricted, bipartite, or K-partite) matching. The function wce() can be used optimally solve the (weighted) cluster editing problem, also known as correlation clustering, clique partitioning problem or transitivity clustering.

This package provides functions for displaying multiple images or scatterplots with a color scale, i.e., heat maps, possibly with projected coordinates. The package relies on the base graphics system, so graphics are rendered rapidly.

Designed to help health economic modellers when building and reviewing models. The visualisation functions allow users to more easily review the network of functions in a project, and get lay summaries of them. The asserts included are intended to check for common errors, thereby freeing up time for modellers to focus on tests specific to the individual model in development or review. For more details see Smith and colleagues (2024)<doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.23180.1>.

Automated generation, running, and interpretation of moderated nonlinear factor analysis models for obtaining scores from observed variables, using the method described by Gottfredson and colleagues (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.addbeh.2018.10.031>. This package creates M-plus input files which may be run iteratively to test two different types of covariate effects on items: (1) latent variable impact (both mean and variance); and (2) differential item functioning. After sequentially testing for all effects, it also creates a final model by including all significant effects after adjusting for multiple comparisons. Finally, the package creates a scoring model which uses the final values of parameter estimates to generate latent variable scores. \n\n This package generates TEMPLATES for M-plus inputs, which can and should be inspected, altered, and run by the user. In addition to being presented without warranty of any kind, the package is provided under the assumption that everyone who uses it is reading, interpreting, understanding, and altering every M-plus input and output file. There is no one right way to implement moderated nonlinear factor analysis, and this package exists solely to save users time as they generate M-plus syntax according to their own judgment.

This package provides functions and examples for the weak and strong density asymmetry measures in the articles: "A measure of asymmetry", Patil, Patil and Bagkavos (2012) <doi:10.1007/s00362-011-0401-6> and "A measure of asymmetry based on a new necessary and sufficient condition for symmetry", Patil, Bagkavos and Wood (2014) <doi:10.1007/s13171-013-0034-z>. The measures provided here are useful for quantifying the asymmetry of the shape of a density of a random variable. The package facilitates implementation of the measures which are applicable in a variety of fields including e.g. probability theory, statistics and economics.
