Simulation of the random evolution of heterogeneous populations using stochastic Individual-Based Models (IBMs) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2303.06183>. The package enables users to simulate population evolution, in which individuals are characterized by their age and some characteristics, and the population is modified by different types of events, including births/arrivals, death/exit events, or changes of characteristics. The frequency at which an event can occur to an individual can depend on their age and characteristics, but also on the characteristics of other individuals (interactions). Such models have a wide range of applications. For instance, IBMs can be used for simulating the evolution of a heterogeneous insurance portfolio with selection or for validating mortality forecasts. This package overcomes the limitations of time-consuming IBMs simulations by implementing new efficient algorithms based on thinning methods, which are compiled using the Rcpp package while providing a user-friendly interface.

Combining genomic prediction with Monte Carlo simulation, three different strategies are implemented to select parental lines for multiple traits in plant breeding. The selection strategies include (i) GEBV-O considers only genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) of the candidate individuals; (ii) GD-O considers only genomic diversity (GD) of the candidate individuals; and (iii) GEBV-GD considers both GEBV and GD. The above method can be seen in Chung PY, Liao CT (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0243159>. Multi-trait genomic best linear unbiased prediction (MT-GBLUP) model is used to simultaneously estimate GEBVs of the target traits, and then a selection index is adopted to evaluate the composite performance of an individual.

This package provides a data clustering package based on admixture ratios (Q matrix) of population structure. The framework is based on iterative Pruning procedure that performs data clustering by splitting a given population into subclusters until meeting the condition of stopping criteria the same as ipPCA, iNJclust, and IPCAPS frameworks. The package also provides a function to retrieve phylogeny tree that construct a neighbor-joining tree based on a similar matrix between clusters. By given multiple Q matrices with varying a number of ancestors (K), the framework define a similar value between clusters i,j as a minimum number K* that makes majority of members of two clusters are in the different clusters. This K* reflexes a minimum number of ancestors we need to splitting cluster i,j into different clusters if we assign K* clusters based on maximum admixture ratio of individuals.

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>.

R is great for installing software. Through the installr package you can automate the updating of R (on Windows, using updateR()) and install new software. Software installation is initiated through a GUI (just run installr()), or through functions such as: install.Rtools(), install.pandoc(), install.git(), and many more. The updateR() command performs the following: finding the latest R version, downloading it, running the installer, deleting the installation file, copy and updating old packages to the new R installation.

The Inductive Subgroup Comparison Approach ('ISCA') offers a way to compare groups that are internally differentiated and heterogeneous. It starts by identifying the social structure of a reference group against which a minority or another group is to be compared, yielding empirical subgroups to which minority members are then matched based on how similar they are. The modelling of specific outcomes then occurs within specific subgroups in which majority and minority members are matched. ISCA is characterized by its data-driven, probabilistic, and iterative approach and combines fuzzy clustering, Monte Carlo simulation, and regression analysis. ISCA_random_assignments() assigns subjects probabilistically to subgroups. ISCA_clustertable() provides summary statistics of each cluster across iterations. ISCA_modeling() provides Ordinary Least Squares regression results for each cluster across iterations. For further details please see Drouhot (2021) <doi:10.1086/712804>.

This package provides a method that estimates an IV-optimal individualized treatment rule. An individualized treatment rule is said to be IV-optimal if it minimizes the maximum risk with respect to the putative IV and the set of IV identification assumptions. Please refer to <arXiv:2002.02579> for more details on the methodology and some theory underpinning the method. Function IV-PILE() uses functions in the package locClass'. Package locClass can be accessed and installed from the R-Forge repository via the following link: <https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/locclass/>. Alternatively, one can install the package by entering the following in R: install.packages("locClass", repos="<http://R-Forge.R-project.org>")'.
