Several functions that allow by different methods to infer a piecewise polynomial regression model under regularity constraints, namely continuity or differentiability of the link function. The implemented functions are either specific to data with two regimes, or generic for any number of regimes, which can be given by the user or learned by the algorithm. A paper describing all these methods will be submitted soon. The reference will be added to this file as soon as available.

Tests for two high-dimensional population mean vectors. The user has the option to compute the asymptotic, the permutation or the bootstrap based p-value of the test. Some references are: Chen S.X. and Qin Y.L. (2010). <doi:10.1214/09-AOS716>, Cai T.T., Liu W., and Xia Y. (2014) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12034> and Yu X., Li D., Xue L. and Li, R.

The conditional treatment effect for competing risks data in observational studies is estimated. While it is described as a constant difference between the hazard functions given the covariates, we do not assume specific functional forms for the covariates. Rava, D. and Xu, R. (2021) <arXiv:2112.09535>.

This package provides functions to conduct robust inference in difference-in-differences and event study designs by implementing the methods developed in Rambachan & Roth (2023) <doi:10.1093/restud/rdad018>, "A More Credible Approach to Parallel Trends" [Previously titled "An Honest Approach..."]. Inference is conducted under a weaker version of the parallel trends assumption. Uniformly valid confidence sets are constructed based upon conditional confidence sets, fixed-length confidence sets and hybridized confidence sets.

This package implements Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a hyperbolic orientation using a non-linear programming solver. It enables flexible estimations with weight restrictions, non-discretionary variables, and a generalized distance function. Additionally, it allows for the calculation of slacks and super-efficiency scores. The methods are detailed in à ttl et al. (2023), <doi:10.1016/j.dajour.2023.100343>. Furthermore, the package provides a non-linear profitability estimation built upon the DEA framework.

Human names are complicated and nonstandard things. Humaniformat, which is based on Anthony Ettinger's humanparser project (https://github.com/ chovy/humanparser) provides functions for parsing human names, making a best- guess attempt to distinguish sub-components such as prefixes, suffixes, middle names and salutations.

Simulates stochastic hybrid models for transmission of infectious diseases in dynamic networks. It is a metapopulation model in which each node in the network is a sub-population and disease spreads within nodes and among them, combining two approaches: stochastic simulation algorithm (<doi:10.1146/annurev.physchem.58.032806.104637>) and individual-based approach, respectively. Equations that models spread within nodes are customizable and there are two link types among nodes: migration and influence (commuting). More information in Fernando S. Marques, Jose H. H. Grisi-Filho, Marcos Amaku et al. (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i06>.

General (multi-allelic) Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium problem from an objective Bayesian testing standpoint. This aim is achieved through the identification of a class of priors specifically designed for this testing problem. A class of intrinsic priors under the full model is considered. This class is indexed by a tuning quantity, the training sample size, as discussed in Consonni, Moreno and Venturini (2010). These priors are objective, satisfy Savage's continuity condition and have proved to behave extremely well for many statistical testing problems.

Fits latent space models for single networks and hierarchical latent space models for ensembles of networks as described in Sweet, Thomas & Junker (2013).

Maintenance has been discontinued for this package. It has been superseded by GeneralizedHyperbolic'. GeneralizedHyperbolic includes all the functionality of HyperbolicDist and more and is based on a more rational design. HyperbolicDist provides functions for the hyperbolic and related distributions. Density, distribution and quantile functions and random number generation are provided for the hyperbolic distribution, the generalized hyperbolic distribution, the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution and the skew-Laplace distribution. Additional functionality is provided for the hyperbolic distribution, including fitting of the hyperbolic to data.

Holistic Multimodel Domain Analysis (HMDA) is a robust and transparent framework designed for exploratory machine learning research, aiming to enhance the process of feature assessment and selection. HMDA addresses key limitations of traditional machine learning methods by evaluating the consistency across multiple high-performing models within a fine-tuned modeling grid, thereby improving the interpretability and reliability of feature importance assessments. Specifically, it computes Weighted Mean SHapley Additive exPlanations (WMSHAP), which aggregate feature contributions from multiple models based on weighted performance metrics. HMDA also provides confidence intervals to demonstrate the stability of these feature importance estimates. This framework is particularly beneficial for analyzing complex, multidimensional datasets common in health research, supporting reliable exploration of mental health outcomes such as suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and other psychological conditions. Additionally, HMDA includes automated procedures for feature selection based on WMSHAP ratios and performs dimension reduction analyses to identify underlying structures among features. For more details see Haghish (2025) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.32473.63846>.

This package contains ten datasets used in the chapters and exercises of Paul, Alice (2023) "Health Data Science in R" <https://alicepaul.github.io/health-data-science-using-r/>.

This package provides a procedure that fits derivative curves based on a sequence of quotient differences. In a hierarchical setting the package produces estimates of subject-specific and group-specific derivative curves. In a non-hierarchical setting the package produces a single derivative curve.

Estimates parameters in Mixture Transition Distribution (MTD) models, a class of high-order Markov chains. The set of relevant pasts (lags) is selected using either the Bayesian Information Criterion or the Forward Stepwise and Cut algorithms. Other model parameters (e.g. transition probabilities and oscillations) can be estimated via maximum likelihood estimation or the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. Additionally, hdMTD includes a perfect sampling algorithm that generates samples of an MTD model from its invariant distribution. For theory, see Ost & Takahashi (2023) <http://jmlr.org/papers/v24/22-0266.html>.

We provide functions for identifying the core community phylogeny in any microbiome, drawing phylogenetic Venn diagrams, calculating the core Faithâ s PD for a set of communities, and calculating the core UniFrac distance between two sets of communities. All functions rely on construction of a core community phylogeny, which is a phylogeny where branches are defined based on their presence in multiple samples from a single type of habitat. Our package provides two options for constructing the core community phylogeny, a tip-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of leaf nodes and a branch-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of individual branches. We suggest use of the microViz package.

This package creates and plots 2D and 3D hive plots. Hive plots are a unique method of displaying networks of many types in which node properties are mapped to axes using meaningful properties rather than being arbitrarily positioned. The hive plot concept was invented by Martin Krzywinski at the Genome Science Center (www.hiveplot.net/). Keywords: networks, food webs, linnet, systems biology, bioinformatics.

This package provides a case conversion between common cases like CamelCase and snake_case. Using the rust crate heck <https://github.com/withoutboats/heck> as the backend for a highly performant case conversion for R'.
