Testing, Implementation, and Forecasting of the ARIMA-ANN hybrid model. The ARIMA-ANN hybrid model combines the distinct strengths of the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for time series forecasting.For method details see Zhang, GP (2003) <doi:10.1016/S0925-2312(01)00702-0>.

Analysis of task-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity at the level of individual participants is commonly based on general linear modelling (GLM) that allows us to estimate to what extent the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal can be explained by task response predictors specified in the GLM model. The predictors are constructed by convolving the hypothesised timecourse of neural activity with an assumed hemodynamic response function (HRF). To get valid and precise estimates of task response, it is important to construct a model of neural activity that best matches actual neuronal activity. The construction of models is most often driven by predefined assumptions on the components of brain activity and their duration based on the task design and specific aims of the study. However, our assumptions about the onset and duration of component processes might be wrong and can also differ across brain regions. This can result in inappropriate or suboptimal models, bad fitting of the model to the actual data and invalid estimations of brain activity. Here we present an approach in which theoretically driven models of task response are used to define constraints based on which the final model is derived computationally using the actual data. Specifically, we developed autohrf â a package for the R programming language that allows for data-driven estimation of HRF models. The package uses genetic algorithms to efficiently search for models that fit the underlying data well. The package uses automated parameter search to find the onset and duration of task predictors which result in the highest fitness of the resulting GLM based on the fMRI signal under predefined restrictions. We evaluate the usefulness of the autohrf package on publicly available datasets of task-related fMRI activity. Our results suggest that by using autohrf users can find better task related brain activity models in a quick and efficient manner.

Quantile regression with fixed effects solves longitudinal data, considering the individual intercepts as fixed effects. The parametric set of this type of problem used to be huge. Thus penalized methods such as Lasso are currently applied. Adaptive Lasso presents oracle proprieties, which include Gaussianity and correct model selection. Bayesian information criteria (BIC) estimates the optimal tuning parameter lambda. Plot tools are also available.

This package provides a collection of psychometric methods to process item metadata and use target assessment and measurement blueprint constraints to assemble a test form. Currently two automatic test assembly (ata) approaches are enabled. For example, the weighted (positive) deviations method, wdm(), proposed by Swanson and Stocking (1993) <doi:10.1177/014662169301700205> was implemented in its full specification allowing for both item selection as well as test form refinement. The linear constraint programming approach, atalp(), uses the linear equation solver by Berkelaar et. al (2014) <http://lpsolve.sourceforge.net/5.5/> to enable a variety of approaches to select items.

The real-life time series data are hardly pure linear or nonlinear. Merging a linear time series model like the autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model with a nonlinear neural network model such as the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model can be used as a hybrid model for more accurate modeling purposes. Both the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) models can be implemented. Details can be found in Box et al. (2015, ISBN: 978-1-118-67502-1) and Hochreiter and Schmidhuber (1997) <doi:10.1162/neco.1997.9.8.1735>.
