This package provides a tool that "multiply imputes" missing data in a single cross-section (such as a survey), from a time series (like variables collected for each year in a country), or from a time-series-cross-sectional data set (such as collected by years for each of several countries). Amelia II implements our bootstrapping-based algorithm that gives essentially the same answers as the standard IP or EMis approaches, is usually considerably faster than existing approaches and can handle many more variables. Unlike Amelia I and other statistically rigorous imputation software, it virtually never crashes (but please let us know if you find to the contrary!). The program also generalizes existing approaches by allowing for trends in time series across observations within a cross-sectional unit, as well as priors that allow experts to incorporate beliefs they have about the values of missing cells in their data. Amelia II also includes useful diagnostics of the fit of multiple imputation models. The program works from the R command line or via a graphical user interface that does not require users to know R.

Visualization of antibody titer scores is valuable for examination of vaccination effects. AntibodyTiters visualizes antibody titers of all or selected patients. This package also produces empty excel files in a specified format, in which users can fill in experimental data for visualization. Excel files with toy data can also be produced, so that users can see how it is visualized before obtaining real data. The data should contain titer scores at pre-vaccination, after-1st shot, after-2nd shot, and at least one additional sampling points. Patients with missing values can be included. The first two sampling points (pre-vaccination and after-1st shot) will be plotted discretely, whereas those following will be plotted on a continuous time scale that starts from the day of second shot. Half-life of titer can also be calculated for each pair of sampling points.

Simulation and pricing routines for rare-event options using Adaptive Multilevel Splitting and standard Monte Carlo under Black-Scholes and Heston models. Core routines are implemented in C++ via Rcpp and RcppArmadillo with lightweight R wrappers.

This package implements the scenario analysis proposed by Antolin-Diaz, Petrella and Rubio-Ramirez (2021) "Structural scenario analysis with SVARs" <doi:10.1016/j.jmoneco.2020.06.001>.

This package provides tools for designing and analyzing Acceptance Sampling plans. Supports both Attributes Sampling (Binomial and Poisson distributions) and Variables Sampling (Normal and Beta distributions), enabling quality control for fractional and compositional data. Uses nonlinear programming for sampling plan optimization, minimizing sample size while controlling producer's and consumer's risks. Operating Characteristic curves are available for plan visualization.

The goal of the package aldvmm is to fit adjusted limited dependent variable mixture models of health state utilities. Adjusted limited dependent variable mixture models are finite mixtures of normal distributions with an accumulation of density mass at the limits, and a gap between 100% quality of life and the next smaller utility value. The package aldvmm uses the likelihood and expected value functions proposed by Hernandez Alava and Wailoo (2015) <doi:10.1177/1536867X1501500307> using normal component distributions and a multinomial logit model of probabilities of component membership.

Alternative and fast algorithms for the analysis of receiver operating characteristics curves (ROC curves) as described in Thomas et al. (2017) <doi:10.1186/s41512-017-0017-y> and Thomas et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.ajogmf.2023.101110>.

This package provides methods to construct frequentist confidence sets with valid marginal coverage for identifying the population-level argmin or argmax based on IID data. For instance, given an n by p loss matrixâ where n is the sample size and p is the number of modelsâ the CS.argmin() method produces a discrete confidence set that contains the model with the minimal (best) expected risk with desired probability. The argmin.HT() method helps check if a specific model should be included in such a confidence set. The main implemented method is proposed by Tianyu Zhang, Hao Lee and Jing Lei (2024) "Winners with confidence: Discrete argmin inference with an application to model selection".

Average population attributable fractions are calculated for a set of risk factors (either binary or ordinal valued) for both prospective and case- control designs. Confidence intervals are found by Monte Carlo simulation. The method can be applied to either prospective or case control designs, provided an estimate of disease prevalence is provided. In addition to an exact calculation of AF, an approximate calculation, based on randomly sampling permutations has been implemented to ensure the calculation is computationally tractable when the number of risk factors is large.

This package provides tools for the multiscale spatial analysis of multivariate data. Several methods are based on the use of a spatial weighting matrix and its eigenvector decomposition (Moran's Eigenvectors Maps, MEM). Several approaches are described in the review Dray et al (2012) <doi:10.1890/11-1183.1>.

This package produces several metrics to assess the prediction of ordinal categories based on the estimated probability distribution for each unit of analysis produced by any model returning a matrix with these probabilities.

Multimodal distributions can be modelled as a mixture of components. The model is derived using the Pareto Density Estimation (PDE) for an estimation of the pdf. PDE has been designed in particular to identify groups/classes in a dataset. Precise limits for the classes can be calculated using the theorem of Bayes. Verification of the model is possible by QQ plot, Chi-squared test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The package is based on the publication of Ultsch, A., Thrun, M.C., Hansen-Goos, O., Lotsch, J. (2015) <DOI:10.3390/ijms161025897>.

It provides the density, distribution function, quantile function, random number generator, likelihood function, moments and Maximum Likelihood estimators for a given sample, all this for the three parameter Asymmetric Laplace Distribution defined in Koenker and Machado (1999). This is a special case of the skewed family of distributions available in Galarza et.al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sta4.140> useful for quantile regression.
