This package contains functions for hidden Markov models with observations having extra zeros as defined in the following two publications, Wang, T., Zhuang, J., Obara, K. and Tsuruoka, H. (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12194>; Wang, T., Zhuang, J., Buckby, J., Obara, K. and Tsuruoka, H. (2018) <doi:10.1029/2017JB015360>. The observed response variable is either univariate or bivariate Gaussian conditioning on presence of events, and extra zeros mean that the response variable takes on the value zero if nothing is happening. Hence the response is modelled as a mixture distribution of a Bernoulli variable and a continuous variable. That is, if the Bernoulli variable takes on the value 1, then the response variable is Gaussian, and if the Bernoulli variable takes on the value 0, then the response is zero too. This package includes functions for simulation, parameter estimation, goodness-of-fit, the Viterbi algorithm, and plotting the classified 2-D data. Some of the functions in the package are based on those of the R package HiddenMarkov by David Harte. This updated version has included an example dataset and R code examples to show how to transform the data into the objects needed in the main functions. We have also made changes to increase the speed of some of the functions.

Used for predicting a genotypeâ s allelic state at a specific locus/QTL/gene. This is accomplished by using both a genotype matrix and a separate file which has categorizations about loci/QTL/genes of interest for the individuals in the genotypic matrix. A training population can be created from a panel of individuals who have been previously screened for specific loci/QTL/genes, and this previous screening could be summarized into a category. Using the categorization of individuals which have been genotyped using a genome wide marker platform, a model can be trained to predict what category (haplotype) an individual belongs in based on their genetic sequence in the region associated with the locus/QTL/gene. These trained models can then be used to predict the haplotype of a locus/QTL/gene for individuals which have been genotyped with a genome wide platform yet not genotyped for the specific locus/QTL/gene. This package is based off work done by Winn et al 2021. For more specific information on this method, refer to <doi:10.1007/s00122-022-04178-w>.

This package provides a program that conducts group variable selection for quantile and robust mean regression (Sherwood and Li, 2022). The group lasso penalty (Yuan and Lin, 2006) is used for group-wise variable selection. Both of the quantile and mean regression models are based on the Huber loss. Specifically, with the tuning parameter in the Huber loss approaching to 0, the quantile check function can be approximated by the Huber loss for the median and the tilted version of Huber loss at other quantiles. Such approximation provides computational efficiency and stability, and has also been shown to be statistical consistent.

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.

Calculates the interval estimates for the parameters of linear models with heteroscedastic regression using bootstrap - (Wild Bootstrap) and double bootstrap-t (Wild Bootstrap). It is also possible to calculate confidence intervals using the percentile bootstrap and percentile bootstrap double. The package can calculate consistent estimates of the covariance matrix of the parameters of linear regression models with heteroscedasticity of unknown form. The package also provides a function to consistently calculate the covariance matrix of the parameters of linear models with heteroscedasticity of unknown form. The bootstrap methods exported by the package are based on the master's thesis of the first author, available at <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prdm0/hcci/master/references/dissertacao_mestrado.pdf>. The hcci package in previous versions was cited in the book VINOD, Hrishikesh D. Hands-on Intermediate Econometrics Using R: Templates for Learning Quantitative Methods and R Software. 2022, p. 441, ISBN 978-981-125-617-2 (hardcover). The simple bootstrap schemes are based on the works of Cribari-Neto F and Lima M. G. (2009) <doi:10.1080/00949650801935327>, while the double bootstrap schemes for the parameters that index the linear models with heteroscedasticity of unknown form are based on the works of Beran (1987) <doi:10.2307/2336685>. The use of bootstrap for the calculation of interval estimates in regression models with heteroscedasticity of unknown form from a weighting of the residuals was proposed by Wu (1986) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176350142>. This bootstrap scheme is known as weighted or wild bootstrap.

Inference approach for jointly modeling correlated count and binary outcomes.

Estimates frictional constants for hydraulic analysis of rivers. This HYDRaulic ROughness CALculator (HYDROCAL) was previously developed as a spreadsheet tool and accompanying documentation by McKay and Fischenich (2011, <https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/bitstream/11681/2034/1/CHETN-VII-11.pdf>).

Implemented here are procedures for fitting hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLM). It can be used for linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models with random effects for a variety of links and a variety of distributions for both the outcomes and the random effects. Fixed effects can also be fitted in the dispersion part of the mean model. As statistical models, HGLMs were initially developed by Lee and Nelder (1996) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2346105?seq=1>. We provide an implementation (Ronnegard, Alam and Shen 2010) <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2010-2/RJournal_2010-2_Roennegaard~et~al.pdf> following Lee, Nelder and Pawitan (2006) <ISBN: 9781420011340> with algorithms extended for spatial modeling (Alam, Ronnegard and Shen 2015) <https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2015/RJ-2015-017/RJ-2015-017.pdf>.

Spatial heterogeneity can be specified in various ways. hspm is an ambitious project that aims at implementing various methodologies to control for heterogeneity in spatial models. The current version of hspm deals with spatial and (non-spatial) regimes models. In particular, the package allows to estimate a general spatial regimes model with additional endogenous variables, specified in terms of a spatial lag of the dependent variable, the spatially lagged regressors, and, potentially, a spatially autocorrelated error term. Spatial regime models are estimated by instrumental variables and generalized methods of moments (see Arraiz et al., (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9787.2009.00618.x>, Bivand and Piras, (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i18>, Drukker et al., (2013) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2013.741020>, Kelejian and Prucha, (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2009.10.025>).
