Implementation of Forecastable Component Analysis ('ForeCA'), including main algorithms and auxiliary function (summary, plotting, etc.) to apply ForeCA to multivariate time series data. ForeCA is a novel dimension reduction (DR) technique for temporally dependent signals. Contrary to other popular DR methods, such as PCA or ICA', ForeCA takes time dependency explicitly into account and searches for the most forecastable signal. The measure of forecastability is based on the Shannon entropy of the spectral density of the transformed signal.

Also includes routines for DVARS (Derivatives VARianceS) (Afyouni and Nichols (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.12.098>), motion scrubbing (Power et al (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.10.018>), aCompCor (anatomical Components Correction) (Muschelli et al (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2014.03.028>), detrending, and nuisance regression. Projection scrubbing is also applicable to other outlier detection tasks involving high-dimensional data.

Generates predictive distributions based on calibrating priors for various commonly used statistical models, including models with predictors. Routines for densities, probabilities, quantiles, random deviates and the parameter posterior are provided. The predictions are generated from the Bayesian prediction integral, with priors chosen to give good reliability (also known as calibration). For homogeneous models, the prior is set to the right Haar prior, giving predictions which are exactly reliable. As a result, in repeated testing, the frequencies of out-of-sample outcomes and the probabilities from the predictions agree. For other models, the prior is chosen to give good reliability. Where possible, the Bayesian prediction integral is solved exactly. Where exact solutions are not possible, the Bayesian prediction integral is solved using the Datta-Mukerjee-Ghosh-Sweeting (DMGS) asymptotic expansion. Optionally, the prediction integral can also be solved using posterior samples generated using Paul Northrop's ratio of uniforms sampling package ('rust'). Results are also generated based on maximum likelihood, for comparison purposes. Various model selection diagnostics and testing routines are included.

Construction and smart selection of Gaussian process models for analysis of computer experiments with emphasis on treatment of functional inputs that are regularly sampled. This package offers: (i) flexible modeling of functional-input regression problems through the fairly general Gaussian process model; (ii) built-in dimension reduction for functional inputs; (iii) heuristic optimization of the structural parameters of the model (e.g., active inputs, kernel function, type of distance). An in-depth tutorial in the use of funGp is provided in Betancourt et al. (2024) <doi:10.18637/jss.v109.i05> and Metamodeling background is provided in Betancourt et al.

Screens daily streamflow time series for temporal trends and change-points. This package has been primarily developed for assessing the quality of daily streamflow time series. It also contains tools for plotting and calculating many different streamflow metrics. The package can be used to produce summary screening plots showing change-points and significant temporal trends for high flow, low flow, and/or baseflow statistics, or it can be used to perform more detailed hydrological time series analyses. The package was designed for screening daily streamflow time series from Water Survey Canada and the United States Geological Survey but will also work with streamflow time series from many other agencies. Package update to version 2.0 made updates to read.flows function to allow loading of GRDC and ROBIN streamflow record formats. This package uses the `changepoint` package for change point detection. For more information on change point methods, see the changepoint package at <https://cran.r-project.org/package=changepoint>.

This is the first package allowing for the estimation, visualization and prediction of the most well-known football models: double Poisson, bivariate Poisson, Skellam, student_t, diagonal-inflated bivariate Poisson, and zero-inflated Skellam. It supports both maximum likelihood estimation (MLE, for static models only) and Bayesian inference. For Bayesian methods, it incorporates several techniques: MCMC sampling with Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, variational inference using either the Pathfinder algorithm or Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (ADVI), and the Laplace approximation. The package compiles all the CmdStan models once during installation using the instantiate package. The model construction relies on the most well-known football references, such as Dixon and Coles (1997) <doi:10.1111/1467-9876.00065>, Karlis and Ntzoufras (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9884.00366> and Egidi, Pauli and Torelli (2018) <doi:10.1177/1471082X18798414>.

Implementation of the Stochastic Expectation Maximisation (StEM) approach to Record Linkage described in the paper by K. Robach, S. L. van der Pas, M. A. van de Wiel and M. H. Hof (2024, <doi:10.1093/jrsssc/qlaf016>); see citation("FlexRL") for details. This is a record linkage method, for finding the common set of records among 2 data sources based on Partially Identifying Variables (PIVs) available in both sources. It includes modelling of dynamic Partially Identifying Variables (e.g. postal code) that may evolve over time and registration errors (missing values and mistakes in the registration). Low memory footprint.
