This package provides a library for generic interval manipulations using a new interval vector class. Capabilities include: locating various kinds of relationships between two interval vectors, merging overlaps within a single interval vector, splitting an interval vector on its overlapping endpoints, and applying set theoretical operations on interval vectors. Many of the operations in this package were inspired by James Allen's interval algebra, Allen (1983) <doi:10.1145/182.358434>.

Instrumental variable (IV) estimators for homogeneous and heterogeneous treatment effects with efficient machine learning instruments. The estimators are based on double/debiased machine learning allowing for nonlinear and potentially high-dimensional control variables. Details can be found in Scheidegger, Guo and Bühlmann (2025) "Inference for heterogeneous treatment effects with efficient instruments and machine learning" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.03530>.

Tree height is an important dendrometric variable and forms the basis of vertical structure of a forest stand. This package will help to fit and validate various non-linear height diameter models for assessing the underlying relationship that exists between tree height and diameter at breast height in case of conifer trees. This package has been implemented on Naslund, Curtis, Michailoff, Meyer, Power, Michaelis-Menten and Wykoff non linear models using algorithm of Huang et al. (1992) <doi:10.1139/x92-172> and Zeide et al. (1993) <doi:10.1093/forestscience/39.3.594>.

Extract and replace elements using indices that start from zero (rather than one), as is common in mathematical notation and other programming languages.

This package provides functionality to perform a likelihood-free method for estimating the parameters of complex models that results in a simulated sample from the posterior distribution of model parameters given targets. The method begins with a accept/reject approximate bayes computation (ABC) step applied to a sample of points from the prior distribution of model parameters. Accepted points result in model predictions that are within the initially specified tolerance intervals around the target points. The sample is iteratively updated by drawing additional points from a mixture of multivariate normal distributions, accepting points within tolerance intervals. As the algorithm proceeds, the acceptance intervals are narrowed. The algorithm returns a set of points and sampling weights that account for the adaptive sampling scheme. For more details see Rutter, Ozik, DeYoreo, and Collier (2018) <arXiv:1804.02090>.

Neural network has potential in forestry modelling. This package is designed to create and assess Artificial Intelligence based Neural Networks with varying architectures for prediction of volume of forest trees using two input features: height and diameter at breast height, as they are the key factors in predicting volume, therefore development and validation of efficient volume prediction neural network model is necessary. This package has been developed using the algorithm of Tabassum et al. (2022) <doi:10.18805/ag.D-5555>.

An implementation to reconstruct individual patient data from Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curves, visualize and assess the accuracy of the reconstruction, then perform secondary analysis on the reconstructed data. We involve a simple function to extract the coordinates form the published K-M curves. The function is developed based on Poisot T. â s digitize package (2011) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2011-004> . For more complex and tangled together graphs, digitizing software, such as DigitizeIt (for MAC or windows) or ScanIt'(for windows) can be used to get the coordinates. Additional information should also be involved to increase the accuracy, like numbers of patients at risk (often reported at 5-10 time points under the x-axis of the K-M graph), total number of patients, and total number of events. The package implements the modified iterative K-M estimation algorithm (modified-iKM) improved upon the approach proposed by Guyot (2012) <doi:10.1186/1471-2288-12-9> with some modifications.

This package provides access to low-level operating system mechanisms for performing atomic operations on shared data structures. Mutexes provide shared and exclusive locks.

Implemented using the cross-platform boost C++ library <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/interprocess/>.
