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>.

This package contains a number of infix binary operators that may be useful in day to day practices.

Most existing approaches for network reconstruction can only infer an overall network and, also, fail to capture a complete set of network properties. To address these issues, a new model has been developed, which converts static data into their dynamic form. idopNetwork is an R interface to this model, it can inferring informative, dynamic, omnidirectional and personalized networks.

For more information on our model, see Chen et al. (2019) <doi:10.1038/s41540-019-0116-1>, and Cao et al. (2022) <doi:10.1080/19490976.2022.2106103>.

Single Layer Feed-forward Neural networks (SLFNs) have many applications in various fields of statistical modelling, especially for time-series forecasting. However, there are some major disadvantages of training such networks via the widely accepted gradient-based backpropagation algorithm, such as convergence to local minima, dependencies on learning rate and large training time. These concerns were addressed by Huang et al. (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2005.12.126>, wherein they introduced the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), an extremely fast learning algorithm for SLFNs which randomly chooses the weights connecting input and hidden nodes and analytically determines the output weights of SLFNs. It shows good generalized performance, but is still subject to a high degree of randomness. To mitigate this issue, this package uses a dimensionality reduction technique given in Hyvarinen (1999) <doi:10.1109/72.761722>, namely, the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to determine the input-hidden connections and thus, remove any sort of randomness from the algorithm. This leads to a robust, fast and stable ELM model. Using functions within this package, the proposed model can also be compared with an existing alternative based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm given by Pearson (1901) <doi:10.1080/14786440109462720>, i.e., the PCA based ELM model given by Castano et al. (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11063-012-9253-x>, from which the implemented ICA based algorithm is greatly inspired.

The matrix factor model has drawn growing attention for its advantage in achieving two-directional dimension reduction simultaneously for matrix-structured observations. In contrast to the Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-based methods, we propose a simple Iterative Alternating Least Squares (IALS) algorithm for matrix factor model, see the details in He et al. (2023) <arXiv:2301.00360>.

Automates the identification and comparative evaluation of item-removal strategies in exploratory factor analysis, producing transparent summaries (explained variance, loading ranges, reliability) to support comfortable, reproducible decisions. The criteria are based on best practices and established heuristics (e.g., Costello & Osborne (2005) <doi:10.7275/jyj1-4868>, Howard (2016) <doi:10.1080/10447318.2015.1087664>).

When added to an existing shiny app, users may subset any developer-chosen R data.frame on the fly. That is, users are empowered to slice & dice data by applying multiple (order specific) filters using the AND (&) operator between each, and getting real-time updates on the number of rows effected/available along the way. Thus, any downstream processes that leverage this data source (like tables, plots, or statistical procedures) will re-render after new filters are applied. The shiny moduleâ s user interface has a minimalist aesthetic so that the focus can be on the data & other visuals. In addition to returning a reactive (filtered) data.frame, IDEAFilter as also returns dplyr filter statements used to actually slice the data.

Creation of tables of summary statistics or counts for clinical data (for TLFs'). These tables can be exported as in-text table (with the flextable package) for a Clinical Study Report (Word format) or a topline presentation (PowerPoint format), or as interactive table (with the DT package) to an html document for clinical data review.
