Designed to facilitate the preprocessing and linking of GIS (Geographic Information System) databases <https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/gis-database>, the R package GISINTEGRATION offers a robust solution for efficiently preparing GIS data for advanced spatial analyses. This package excels in simplifying intrica procedures like data cleaning, normalization, and format conversion, ensuring that the data are optimally primed for precise and thorough analysis.

Fit Generalized Linear Models to continuous and count outcomes, as well as estimate the prevalence of misrepresentation of an important binary predictor. Misrepresentation typically arises when there is an incentive for the binary factor to be misclassified in one direction (e.g., in insurance settings where policy holders may purposely deny a risk status in order to lower the insurance premium). This is accomplished by treating a subset of the response variable as resulting from a mixture distribution. Model parameters are estimated via the Expectation Maximization algorithm and standard errors of the estimates are obtained from closed forms of the Observed Fisher Information. For an introduction to the models and the misrepresentation framework, see Xia et. al., (2023) <https://variancejournal.org/article/73151-maximum-likelihood-approaches-to-misrepresentation-models-in-glm-ratemaking-model-comparisons>.

Fits generalized linear models (GLMs) when there is missing data in both the response and categorical covariates. The functions implement likelihood-based methods using the Expectation and Maximization (EM) algorithm and optionally apply Firthâ s bias correction for improved inference. See Pradhan, Nychka, and Bandyopadhyay (2025) <https:>, Maiti and Pradhan (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2008.01186.x>, Maity, Pradhan, and Das (2019) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2017.1407359> for further methodological details.

Projections are common dimensionality reduction methods, which represent high-dimensional data in a two-dimensional space. However, when restricting the output space to two dimensions, which results in a two dimensional scatter plot (projection) of the data, low dimensional similarities do not represent high dimensional distances coercively [Thrun, 2018] <DOI: 10.1007/978-3-658-20540-9>. This could lead to a misleading interpretation of the underlying structures [Thrun, 2018]. By means of the 3D topographic map the generalized Umatrix is able to depict errors of these two-dimensional scatter plots. The package is derived from the book of Thrun, M.C.: "Projection Based Clustering through Self-Organization and Swarm Intelligence" (2018) <DOI:10.1007/978-3-658-20540-9> and the main algorithm called simplified self-organizing map for dimensionality reduction methods is published in Thrun, M.C. and Ultsch, A.: "Uncovering High-dimensional Structures of Projections from Dimensionality Reduction Methods" (2020) <DOI:10.1016/j.mex.2020.101093>.

This package provides ggplot2 geoms that allow groups of data points to be outlined or highlighted for emphasis. This is particularly useful when working with dense datasets that are prone to overplotting.

An implementation of functions to display Greek letters on the RStudio (include subscript and superscript indexes) and RGui (without subscripts and only with superscript 1, 2 or 3; because RGui doesn't support printing the corresponding Unicode characters as a string: all subscripts ranging from 0 to 9 and superscripts equal to 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9). The functions in this package do not work properly on the R console. Characters are used via Unicode and encoded as UTF-8 to ensure that they can be viewed on all operating systems. Other characters related to mathematics are included, such as the infinity symbol. All this accessible from very simple commands. This is a package that can be used for teaching purposes, the statistical notation for hypothesis testing can be written from this package and so it is possible to build a course from the swirlify package. Another utility of this package is to create new summary functions that contain the functional form of the model adjusted with the Greek letters, thus making the transition from statistical theory to practice easier. In addition, it is a natural extension of the clisymbols package.

This package provides a not-so-comprehensive list of methods for estimating graphon, a symmetric measurable function, from a single or multiple of observed networks. For a detailed introduction on graphon and popular estimation techniques, see the paper by Orbanz, P. and Roy, D.M.(2014) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2014.2334607>. It also contains several auxiliary functions for generating sample networks using various network models and graphons.

William S. Cleveland's book Visualizing Data is a classic piece of literature on Exploratory Data Analysis. Although it was written several decades ago, its content is still relevant as it proposes several tools which are useful to discover patterns and relationships among the data under study, and also to assess the goodness of fit o a model. This package provides functions to produce the ggplot2 versions of the visualization tools described in this book and is thought to be used in the context of courses on Exploratory Data Analysis.

An extension of ggplot2 for creating complex genomic maps. It builds on the power of ggplot2 and tidyverse adding new ggplot2'-style geoms & positions and dplyr'-style verbs to manipulate the underlying data. It implements a layout concept inspired by ggraph and introduces tracks to bring tidiness to the mess that is genomics data.

It provides materials (i.e. serial axes objects, Andrew's plot, various glyphs for scatter plot) to visualize high dimensional data.

Cross validation informed Relaxed LASSO (or more generally elastic net), gradient boosting machine ('xgboost'), Random Forest ('RandomForestSRC'), Oblique Random Forest ('aorsf'), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Recursive Partitioning ('RPART') or step wise regression models are fit. Cross validation leave out samples (leading to nested cross validation) or bootstrap out-of-bag samples are used to evaluate and compare performances between these models with results presented in tabular or graphical means. Calibration plots can also be generated, again based upon (outer nested) cross validation or bootstrap leave out (out of bag) samples. Note, at the time of this writing, in order to fit gradient boosting machine models one must install the packages DiceKriging and rgenoud using the install.packages() function. For some datasets, for example when the design matrix is not of full rank, glmnet may have very long run times when fitting the relaxed lasso model, from our experience when fitting Cox models on data with many predictors and many patients, making it difficult to get solutions from either glmnet() or cv.glmnet(). This may be remedied by using the path=TRUE option when calling glmnet() and cv.glmnet(). Within the glmnetr package the approach of path=TRUE is taken by default. other packages doing similar include nestedcv <https://cran.r-project.org/package=nestedcv>, glmnetSE <https://cran.r-project.org/package=glmnetSE> which may provide different functionality when performing a nested CV. Use of the glmnetr has many similarities to the glmnet package and it could be helpful for the user of glmnetr also become familiar with the glmnet package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=glmnet>, with the "An Introduction to glmnet'" and "The Relaxed Lasso" being especially useful in this regard.
