This package provides a game for two players: Who gets first four in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) wins. As board game published by Milton Bradley, designed by Howard Wexler and Ned Strongin.

This package provides a faster implementation of Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF; Hahn et al. (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1195>), which uses regression tree ensembles to estimate the conditional average treatment effect of a binary treatment on a scalar output as a function of many covariates. This implementation avoids many redundant computations and memory allocations present in the original BCF implementation, allowing the model to be fit to larger datasets. The implementation was originally developed for the 2022 American Causal Inference Conference's Data Challenge. See Kokandakar et al. (2023) <doi:10.1353/obs.2023.0024> for more details.

Package for parametric relative survival analyses. It allows to model non-linear and non-proportional effects and both non proportional and non linear effects, using splines (B-spline and truncated power basis), Weighted Cumulative Index of Exposure effect, with correction model for the life table. Both non proportional and non linear effects are described in Remontet, L. et al. (2007) <doi:10.1002/sim.2656> and Mahboubi, A. et al. (2011) <doi:10.1002/sim.4208>.

Fit growth models to otoliths and/or tagging data, using the RTMB package and maximum likelihood. The otoliths (or similar measurements of age) provide direct observed coordinates of age and length. The tagging data provide information about the observed length at release and length at recapture at a later time, where the age at release is unknown and estimated as a vector of parameters. The growth models provided by this package can be fitted to otoliths only, tagging data only, or a combination of the two. Growth variability can be modelled as constant or increasing with length.

This package implements shape-based clustering algorithms for multidimensional longitudinal data based on the Fréchet distance. It implements two main methods: MFKmL (Multidimensional Fréchet distance-based K-means for Longitudinal data), an extension of the K-means algorithm using the Fréchet distance originally developed in the kmlShape package, adapted for multidimensional trajectories; and SFKmL (Sparse multidimensional Fréchet distance-based K-medoids for Longitudinal data), a K-medoids-based clustering algorithm that incorporates variable selection. These tools are designed to enhance clustering performance in high-dimensional longitudinal data settings, particularly those with time delays, variations in trajectory speed, irregular sampling intervals, and noise. This package implements methods derived from Kang et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10237-z>.

This package provides a simple method to select the best model or best subset of variables using different types of data (binary, Gaussian or Poisson) and applying it in different contexts (parametric or non-parametric). Implemented methodology described in: M. Sestelo, N. M. Villanueva, L. Meira-Machado and J. Roca-Pardiñas (2016). FWDselect: an R package for variable selection in regression models.

Model-based clustering of multivariate continuous data using Bayesian mixtures of factor analyzers (Papastamoulis (2019) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-019-09891-z> (2018) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2018.03.007>). The number of clusters is estimated using overfitting mixture models (Rousseau and Mengersen (2011) <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2011.00781.x>): suitable prior assumptions ensure that asymptotically the extra components will have zero posterior weight, therefore, the inference is based on the ``alive components. A Gibbs sampler is implemented in order to (approximately) sample from the posterior distribution of the overfitting mixture. A prior parallel tempering scheme is also available, which allows to run multiple parallel chains with different prior distributions on the mixture weights. These chains run in parallel and can swap states using a Metropolis-Hastings move. Eight different parameterizations give rise to parsimonious representations of the covariance per cluster (following Mc Nicholas and Murphy (2008) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-008-9056-0>). The model parameterization and number of factors is selected according to the Bayesian Information Criterion. Identifiability issues related to label switching are dealt by post-processing the simulated output with the Equivalence Classes Representatives algorithm (Papastamoulis and Iliopoulos (2010) <DOI:10.1198/jcgs.2010.09008>, Papastamoulis (2016) <DOI:10.18637/jss.v069.c01>).

Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) for multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), developed by Dragam Pamucar in 2018 (<doi:10.3390/sym10090393>). The goal of the method is to determine the weights of criteria such that the deviation from full consistency is minimized. Users provide a character vector specifying the ranking of each criterion according to its significance, starting from the criterion expected to have the highest weight to the least significant one. Additionally, users provide a numeric vector specifying the priority values for each criterion. The comparison is made with respect to the first-ranked (most significant) criterion. The function returns the optimized weights for each criterion (summing to 1), the comparative priority (Phi) values, the mathematical transitivity condition (w) value, and the minimum deviation from full consistency (DFC).

This package provides functions to fit regression models for bounded continuous and discrete responses. In case of bounded continuous responses (e.g., proportions and rates), available models are the flexible beta (Migliorati, S., Di Brisco, A. M., Ongaro, A. (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-BA1079>), the variance-inflated beta (Di Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S., Ongaro, A. (2020) <doi:10.1177/1471082X18821213>), the beta (Ferrari, S.L.P., Cribari-Neto, F. (2004) <doi:10.1080/0266476042000214501>), and their augmented versions to handle the presence of zero/one values (Di Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8406>) are implemented. In case of bounded discrete responses (e.g., bounded counts, such as the number of successes in n trials), available models are the flexible beta-binomial (Ascari, R., Migliorati, S. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9005>), the beta-binomial, and the binomial are implemented. Inference is dealt with a Bayesian approach based on the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm (Gelman, A., Carlin, J. B., Stern, H. S., Rubin, D. B. (2014) <doi:10.1201/b16018>). Besides, functions to compute residuals, posterior predictives, goodness of fit measures, convergence diagnostics, and graphical representations are provided.

(2019) <doi:10.1038/s41598-019-54569-1>.

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.
