Nonparametric estimation on survival analysis under order-restrictions.

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.

Identifies candidate item sets through threshold-driven iterative removal searches in exploratory factor analysis. Provides a no-removal baseline, numerical diagnostics, factor reliability, holdout evaluation, and bootstrap search stability to support transparent screening and documented content review rather than automatic measurement decisions. The loading 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>). Includes flexible thresholds for factor loadings (min_loading) and cross-loading differences (loading_diff).

Regression models for interval censored data. Currently supports Cox-PH, proportional odds, and accelerated failure time models. Allows for semi and fully parametric models (parametric only for accelerated failure time models) and Bayesian parametric models. Includes functions for easy visual diagnostics of model fits and imputation of censored data.

Fits Bayesian hierarchical models of vaccine coverage by location, birth cohort, and age. Observations of vaccination status (which may span cohorts, ages, and doses) are used to fit a latent survival-style process model that decomposes coverage into a lifetime propensity to vaccinate and a time-varying force of vaccination. Hierarchical spatial structure (e.g., state, county, school) supports partial pooling via random effects. Models are implemented in Stan and fit via rstan'. Provides helpers to validate user-supplied input data, and to predict coverage from fitted models.

An efficient and incremental approach for calculating the differences in orbit counts when performing single edge modifications in a network. Calculating the differences in orbit counts is much more efficient than recalculating all orbit counts from scratch for each time point.

Estimate test-retest reliability for complex sampling strategies and extract variances using IntraClass Effect Decomposition. Developed by Brandmaier et al.

Unofficial version release name: "Good work squirrels".

The function install_load checks the local R library(ies) to see if the required package(s) is/are installed or not. If the package(s) is/are not installed, then the package(s) will be installed along with the required dependency(ies). This function pulls source or binary packages from the Posit/RStudio-sponsored CRAN mirror. Lastly, the chosen package(s) is/are loaded. The function load_package simply loads the provided package(s). If this package does not fit your needs, then you may want to consider these other R packages: needs', easypackages', pacman', pak', anyLib', and/or librarian'.

Calculates insulin secretion rates from C-peptide values based on the methods described in Van Cauter et al. (1992) <doi:10.2337/diab.41.3.368>. Includes functions to calculate estimated insulin secretion rates using linear or cubic spline interpolation of c-peptide values (see Eaton et al., 1980 <doi:10.1210/jcem-51-3-520> and Polonsky et al., 1986 <doi:10.1172/JCI112308>) and to calculate estimates of input coefficients (volume of distribution, short half life, long half life, and fraction attributed to short half life) as described by Van Cauter. Although the generated coefficients are specific to insulin secretion, the two-compartment secretion model used here is useful for certain applications beyond insulin.
