Fits hidden Markov models with discrete non-parametric observation distributions to data sets. The observations may be univariate or bivariate. Simulates data from such models. Finds most probable underlying hidden states, the most probable sequences of such states, and the log likelihood of a collection of observations given the parameters of the model. Auxiliary predictors are accommodated in the univariate setting.

Most common exact, asymptotic and resample based tests are provided for testing the homogeneity of variances of k normal distributions under normality. These tests are Barlett, Bhandary & Dai, Brown & Forsythe, Chang et al., Gokpinar & Gokpinar, Levene, Liu and Xu, Gokpinar. Also, a data generation function from multiple normal distribution is provided using any multiple normal parameters. Bartlett, M. S. (1937) <doi:10.1098/rspa.1937.0109> Bhandary, M., & Dai, H.

This package provides a modular and computationally efficient R package for parameterizing, simulating, and analyzing health economic simulation models. The package supports cohort discrete time state transition models (Briggs et al. 1998) <doi:10.2165/00019053-199813040-00003>, N-state partitioned survival models (Glasziou et al. 1990) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780091106>, and individual-level continuous time state transition models (Siebert et al. 2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.06.014>, encompassing both Markov (time-homogeneous and time-inhomogeneous) and semi-Markov processes. Decision uncertainty from a cost-effectiveness analysis is quantified with standard graphical and tabular summaries of a probabilistic sensitivity analysis (Claxton et al. 2005, Barton et al. 2008) <doi:10.1002/hec.985>, <doi:10.1111/j.1524-4733.2008.00358.x>. Use of C++ and data.table make individual-patient simulation, probabilistic sensitivity analysis, and incorporation of patient heterogeneity fast.

We use the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for parameter estimation in high-dimensional, single-modality mediation models. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of estimated mediation effects, we offer the sure independence screening (SIS) function for dimension reduction.

Supplement for the book "Handbook of Regression Methods" by D. S. Young. Some datasets used in the book are included and documented. Wrapper functions are included that simplify the examples in the textbook, such as code for constructing a regressogram and expanding ANOVA tables to reflect the total sum of squares.

The hotspots package is designed to look within a set of measured values of a variable and identify values that are disproportionately high based on both the deviance of any given value from a statistical distribution and its similarity to other values. Because this relative magnitude of each value is taken into account, a value that is a statistical outlier may not always be a hot spot if other values are similarly large.

The heterogeneous multi-task feature learning is a data integration method to conduct joint feature selection across multiple related data sets with different distributions. The algorithm can combine different types of learning tasks, including linear regression, Huber regression, adaptive Huber, and logistic regression. The modified version of Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is produced to measure the model performance. Package is based on Yuan Zhong, Wei Xu, and Xin Gao (2022) <https://www.fields.utoronto.ca/talk-media/1/53/65/slides.pdf>.

Reporting heritability estimates is an important to quantitative genetics studies and breeding experiments. Here we provide functions to calculate various broad-sense heritabilities from asreml and lme4 model objects. All methods we have implemented in this package have extensively discussed in the article by Schmidt et al. (2019) <doi:10.1534/genetics.119.302134>.

This package implements the Hierarchical Incremental GRAdient Descent (HiGrad) algorithm, a first-order algorithm for finding the minimizer of a function in online learning just like stochastic gradient descent (SGD). In addition, this method attaches a confidence interval to assess the uncertainty of its predictions. See Su and Zhu (2018) <arXiv:1802.04876> for details.

An implementation of the nonnegative garrote method that incorporates hierarchical relationships among variables. The core function, HiGarrote(), offers an automated approach for analyzing experiments while respecting hierarchical structures among effects. For methodological details, refer to Yu and Joseph (2025) <doi:10.1080/00224065.2025.2513508>. This work is supported by U.S. National Science Foundation grant DMS-2310637.

This package provides methods for correcting heaping (digit preference) in survey data at the individual record level. Age heaping, where respondents disproportionately report ages ending in 0 or 5, is a common phenomenon that can distort demographic analyses. Unlike traditional smoothing methods that only correct aggregated statistics, this package corrects individual values by replacing a calculated proportion of heaped observations with draws from fitted truncated distributions (log-normal, normal, or uniform). Supports 5-year and 10-year heaping patterns, single heap correction, and optional model-based adjustment to preserve covariate relationships.

Base R's default setting for stringsAsFactors within data.frame() and as.data.frame() is supposedly the most often complained about piece of code in the R infrastructure. The hellno package provides an explicit solution without changing R itself or having to mess around with options. It tries to solve this problem by providing alternative data.frame() and as.data.frame() functions that are in fact simple wrappers around base R's data.frame() and as.data.frame() with stringsAsFactors option set to HELLNO ( which in turn equals FALSE ) by default.

Implementation of characteristic palettes inspired in the Wizarding World and the Harry Potter movie franchise.

This package provides a comprehensive R package for accessing and working with publicly available and free resources from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The package provides streamlined access to HCUP's Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) mapping files and Summary Trend Tables, enabling researchers and analysts to efficiently map ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes to CCSR categories and access HCUP statistical reports.
