This package provides a novel forward stepwise discriminant analysis framework that integrates Pillai's trace with Uncorrelated Linear Discriminant Analysis (ULDA), providing an improvement over traditional stepwise LDA methods that rely on Wilks Lambda. A stand-alone ULDA implementation is also provided, offering a more general solution than the one available in the MASS package. It automatically handles missing values and provides visualization tools. For more details, see Wang (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.03136>.

This package provides a "tabular-data-resource" (<https://specs.frictionlessdata.io/tabular-data-resource/>) is a simple format to describe a singular tabular data resource such as a CSV file. It includes support both for metadata such as author and title and a schema to describe the data, for example the types of the fields/columns in the data. Create a tabular-data-resource by providing a data.frame and specifying metadata. Write and read tabular-data-resources to and from disk.

This package provides tools for preprocessing, feature extraction, and segmentation of three-dimensional forest point clouds derived from terrestrial laser scanning. Functions support creating height-above-ground (HAG) metrics, tiling, and sampling point clouds, generating training datasets, applying trained models to new point clouds, and producing per-point fuel classes such as stems, branches, foliage, and surface fuels. These tools support workflows for forest structure analysis, wildfire behavior modeling, and fuel complexity assessment. Deep learning segmentation relies on the PointNeXt architecture described by Qian et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.04670>, while ground classification utilizes the Cloth Simulation Filter algorithm by Zhang et al. (2016) <doi:10.3390/rs8060501>.

The purpose of this package is to tests whether a given moment of the distribution of a given sample is finite or not. For heavy-tailed distributions with tail exponent b, only moments of order smaller than b are finite. Tail exponent and heavy- tailedness are notoriously difficult to ascertain. But the finiteness of moments (including fractional moments) can be tested directly. This package does that following the test suggested by Trapani (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2015.08.006>.

Binding to the C++ implementation of the flexible polyline encoding by HERE <https://github.com/heremaps/flexible-polyline>. The flexible polyline encoding is a lossy compressed representation of a list of coordinate pairs or coordinate triples. The encoding is achieved by: (1) Reducing the decimal digits of each value; (2) encoding only the offset from the previous point; (3) using variable length for each coordinate delta; and (4) using 64 URL-safe characters to display the result.

Quickly make tables of descriptive statistics (i.e., counts, percentages, confidence intervals) for categorical variables. This package is designed to work in a Tidyverse pipeline, and consideration has been given to get results from R to Microsoft Word ® with minimal pain.

Routines for the estimation or simultaneous estimation and variable selection in several functional semiparametric models with scalar responses are provided. These models include the functional single-index model, the semi-functional partial linear model, and the semi-functional partial linear single-index model. Additionally, the package offers algorithms for handling scalar covariates with linear effects that originate from the discretization of a curve. This functionality is applicable in the context of the linear model, the multi-functional partial linear model, and the multi-functional partial linear single-index model.

This package provides tools to work with the Flexible Dirichlet distribution. The main features are an E-M algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood estimate of the parameter vector and a function based on conditional bootstrap to estimate its asymptotic variance-covariance matrix. It contains also functions to plot graphs, to generate random observations and to handle compositional data.

The package supports the evaluation of group-level fairness criterion commonly used in fairness research, particularly in healthcare for binary protected attributes.

Quantifies the provenance of sediments by applying a mixing model algorithm to end sediment mixtures based on a comprehensive characterization of the sediment sources. The fingerPro model builds upon the foundational concept of using mass balance linear equations for sediment source quantification by incorporating several distinct technical advancements. It employs an optimization approach to normalize discrepancies in tracer ranges and minimize the objective function. Latin hypercube sampling is used to explore all possible combinations of source contributions (0-100%), mitigating the risk of local minima. Uncertainty in source estimates is quantified through a Monte Carlo routine, and the model includes additional metrics, such as the normalized error of the virtual mixture, to detect mathematical inconsistencies, non-physical solutions, and biases. A new linear variability propagation (LVP) method is also included to address and quantify potential bias in model outcomes, particularly when dealing with dominant or non-contributing sources and high source variability, offering a significant advancement for field studies where direct comparison with theoretical apportionments is not feasible. In addition to the unmixing model, a complete framework for tracer selection is included. Several methods are implemented to evaluate tracer behaviour by considering both source and mixture information. These include the Consistent Tracer Selection (CTS) method to explore all tracer combinations and select the optimal ones improving the robustness and interpretability of the model results. A Conservative Balance (CB) method is also incorporated to enable the use of isotopic tracers. The package also provides several graphical tools to support data exploration and interpretation, including box plots, correlation plots, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

This package implements the Fixed Effect Jackknife Instrumental Variables ('FEJIV') estimator of Chao, Swanson, and Woutersen (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.12.011>, allowing consistent IV estimation with many (possibly weak) instruments, cluster fixed effects, heteroskedastic errors, and many exogenous covariates. The estimator is recommended by SÅ oczyÅ ski (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2011.06695> as an alternative to two-stage least squares when estimating the interacted specification of Angrist and Imbens (1995) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1995.10476535>.
