Estimation and regularization for covariance matrix of asset returns. For covariance matrix estimation, three major types of factor models are included: macroeconomic factor model, fundamental factor model and statistical factor model. For covariance matrix regularization, four regularized estimators are included: banding, tapering, hard-thresholding and soft- thresholding. The tuning parameters of these regularized estimators are selected via cross-validation.

This package provides tools for detecting and summarize influential cases that can affect exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis models as well as structural equation models more generally (Chalmers, 2015, <doi:10.1177/0146621615597894>; Flora, D. B., LaBrish, C. & Chalmers, R. P., 2012, <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00055>).

This package contains four main functions (i.e., four pieces of furniture): table1() which produces a well-formatted table of descriptive statistics common as Table 1 in research articles, tableC() which produces a well-formatted table of correlations, tableF() which provides frequency counts, and washer() which is helpful in cleaning up the data. These furniture-themed functions are designed to simplify common tasks in quantitative analysis. Other data summary and cleaning tools are also available.

Backends implementing the Future API <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>, as defined by the future package, should use the tests provided by this package to validate that they meet the minimal requirements of the Future API. The tests can be performed easily from within R or from outside of R from the command line making it straightforward to include them in package tests and in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines.

The classical (i.e. Efron's, see Efron and Tibshirani (1994, ISBN:978-0412042317) "An Introduction to the Bootstrap") bootstrap is widely used for both the real (i.e. "crisp") and fuzzy data. The main aim of the algorithms implemented in this package is to overcome a problem with repetition of a few distinct values and to create fuzzy numbers, which are "similar" (but not the same) to values from the initial sample. To do this, different characteristics of triangular/trapezoidal numbers are kept (like the value, the ambiguity, etc., see Grzegorzewski et al. <doi:10.2991/eusflat-19.2019.68>, Grzegorzewski et al. (2020) <doi:10.2991/ijcis.d.201012.003>, Grzegorzewski et al. (2020) <doi:10.34768/amcs-2020-0022>, Grzegorzewski and Romaniuk (2022) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-95929-6_3>, Romaniuk and Hryniewicz (2019) <doi:10.1007/s00500-018-3251-5>). Some additional procedures related to these resampling methods are also provided, like calculation of the Bertoluzza et al.'s distance (aka the mid/spread distance, see Bertoluzza et al. (1995) "On a new class of distances between fuzzy numbers") and estimation of the p-value of the one- and two- sample bootstrapped test for the mean (see Lubiano et al. (2016, <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2015.11.016>)). Additionally, there are procedures which randomly generate trapezoidal fuzzy numbers using some well-known statistical distributions.

Allows user to obtain subsets of columns of data or vectors within a list. These subsets will match the original data in terms of average and variation, but have a consistent length of data per column. It is intended for use on automated data generation which may not always output the same N per replicate or sample.

The function forAD() implements the adaptive forecasting procedure of Giraitis, Kapetanios and Price (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2013.04.003>. The method can be iterated (e.g., adapt²) and combined with autoregressive (AR) forecasting. These approaches are computationally simple and adapt automatically to structural changes without requiring prior specification of the underlying data-generating process. They are applicable to both stationary and non-stationary time series. The numerical and graphical outputs assist in selecting an appropriate forecasting method, particularly one that minimises mean squared forecast error (MSFE) and yields uncorrelated forecast errors.

It implements an improved and computationally faster version of the original Stepwise Gaussian Graphical Algorithm for estimating the Omega precision matrix from high-dimensional data. Zamar, R., Ruiz, M., Lafit, G. and Nogales, J. (2021) <doi:10.52933/jdssv.v1i2.11>.

This package provides a drop-in replacement for flexdashboard Rmd documents, which implements an after-knit-hook to split the generated single page application in one document per main section to reduce rendering load in the web browser displaying the document. Put all JavaScript stuff needed in all sections before the first headline featuring navigation menu attributes. This package is experimental and maybe replaced by a solution inside flexdashboard'.

Computer Modern font with Paul Murrell's symbol extensions. Is is to be used with the **extrafont** package. When this font package is installed, the CM fonts will be available for PDF or Postscript output files; however, this will (probably) not make the font available for screen or bitmap output files.

This package implements methods for calibrating an aggregated functional data model using wavelets or splines. Each aggregated curve is modeled as a linear combination of component functions and known weights. The component functions are estimated using wavelets or splines. The package is based on dos Santos Sousa (2024) <doi:10.1515/mcma-2023-2016> and Saraiva and Dias (2009) <doi:10.47749/T/UNICAMP.2009.471073>.

This package contains the methods proposed by Geyer and Meeden (2005)<doi:10.1214/088342305000000340> and Trigo et al. (2025) <doi:10.47749/T/UNICAMP.2025.1500297> to construct fuzzy confidence intervals. Compute and plot the fuzzy membership functions of the methods, and the expected length compared with the infimum.

This package provides functions to read and write neuroimaging data in various file formats, with a focus on FreeSurfer <http://freesurfer.net/> formats. This includes, but is not limited to, the following file formats: 1) MGH/MGZ format files, which can contain multi-dimensional images or other data. Typically they contain time-series of three-dimensional brain scans acquired by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They can also contain vertex-wise measures of surface morphometry data. The MGH format is named after the Massachusetts General Hospital, and the MGZ format is a compressed version of the same format. 2) FreeSurfer morphometry data files in binary curv format. These contain vertex-wise surface measures, i.e., one scalar value for each vertex of a brain surface mesh. These are typically values like the cortical thickness or brain surface area at each vertex. 3) Annotation file format. This contains a brain surface parcellation derived from a cortical atlas. 4) Surface file format. Contains a brain surface mesh, given by a list of vertices and a list of faces.

The aim is to take in data.frame inputs and utilises methods, such as recursive feature engineering, to enable the features to be removed. What this does differently from the other packages, is that it gives you the choice to remove the variables manually, or it automated this process. Feature selection is a concept in machine learning, and statistical pipelines, whereby unimportant, or less predictive variables are eliminated from the analysis, see Boughaci (2018) <doi:10.1007/s40595-018-0107-y>.
