Fits nonparametric item and option characteristic curves using kernel smoothing. It allows for optimal selection of the smoothing bandwidth using cross-validation and a variety of exploratory plotting tools. The kernel smoothing is based on methods described in Silverman, B.W. (1986). Density Estimation for Statistics and Data Analysis. Chapman & Hall, London.

This package provides a function called COTUCKER3() (Co-Inertia Analysis + Tucker3 method) which performs a Co-Tucker3 analysis of two sequences of matrices, as well as other functions called PCA() (Principal Component Analysis) and BGA() (Between-Groups Analysis), which perform analysis of one matrix, COIA() (Co-Inertia Analysis), which performs analysis of two matrices, PTA() (Partial Triadic Analysis), STATIS(), STATISDUAL() and TUCKER3(), which perform analysis of a sequence of matrices, and BGCOIA() (Between-Groups Co-Inertia Analysis), STATICO() (STATIS method + Co-Inertia Analysis), COSTATIS() (Co-Inertia Analysis + STATIS method), which also perform analysis of two sequences of matrices.

This package provides a toolkit for absolute and relative dating and analysis of chronological patterns. This package includes functions for chronological modeling and dating of archaeological assemblages from count data. It provides methods for matrix seriation. It also allows to compute time point estimates and density estimates of the occupation and duration of an archaeological site.

In self-reported or anonymised data the user often encounters heaped data, i.e. data which are rounded (to a possibly different degree of coarseness). While this is mostly a minor problem in parametric density estimation the bias can be very large for non-parametric methods such as kernel density estimation. This package implements a partly Bayesian algorithm treating the true unknown values as additional parameters and estimates the rounding parameters to give a corrected kernel density estimate. It supports various standard bandwidth selection methods. Varying rounding probabilities (depending on the true value) and asymmetric rounding is estimable as well: Gross, M. and Rendtel, U. (2016) (<doi:10.1093/jssam/smw011>). Additionally, bivariate non-parametric density estimation for rounded data, Gross, M. et al. (2016) (<doi:10.1111/rssa.12179>), as well as data aggregated on areas is supported.

This package provides a weighting approach that employs kernels to make one group have a similar distribution to another group on covariates. This method matches not only means or marginal distributions but also higher-order transformations implied by the choice of kernel. kbal is applicable to both treatment effect estimation and survey reweighting problems. Based on Hazlett, C. (2020) "Kernel Balancing: A flexible non-parametric weighting procedure for estimating causal effects." Statistica Sinica. <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299013953_Kernel_Balancing_A_flexible_non-parametric_weighting_procedure_for_estimating_causal_effects>.

Smoothed bootstrap and functions for random generation from univariate and multivariate kernel densities. It does not estimate kernel densities.

This package implements a data language engine for incorporating data directly in rmarkdown documents so that they can be made completely standalone.

This package provides methods for inference about/under complex relationships using peak height data from DNA mixtures: the most basic example would be testing whether a contributor to a mixture is the father of a child of known genotype. This provides most of the functionality of the KinMix package, but with some loss of efficiency and restriction on problem size, as the latter uses RHugin as the Bayes net engine, while this package uses gRain'. The package implements the methods introduced in Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2017.02.001> and Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2021) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12498>.

Fits keyword assisted topic models (keyATM) using collapsed Gibbs samplers. The keyATM combines the latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) models with a small number of keywords selected by researchers in order to improve the interpretability and topic classification of the LDA. The keyATM can also incorporate covariates and directly model time trends. The keyATM is proposed in Eshima, Imai, and Sasaki (2024) <doi:10.1111/ajps.12779>.

Matches a data set with semi-structured address data, e.g., street and house number as a concatenated string, wrongly spelled street names or non-existing house numbers to a reference index. The methods are specifically designed for German municipalities ('KOR'-community) and German address schemes.

This package provides a high-performance R interface to the kuzu graph database. It uses the reticulate package to wrap the official Python client ('kuzu', pandas', and networkx'), allowing users to interact with kuzu seamlessly from within R'. Key features include managing database connections, executing Cypher queries, and efficiently loading data from R data frames. It also provides seamless integration with the R ecosystem by converting query results directly into popular R data structures, including tibble', igraph', tidygraph', and g6R objects, making kuzu's powerful graph computation capabilities readily available for data analysis and visualization workflows in R'. The kuzu documentation can be found at <https://kuzudb.github.io/docs/>.
