This package provides functions for estimating the gliding box lacunarity (GBL), covariance, and pair-correlation of a random closed set (RACS) in 2D from a binary coverage map (e.g. presence-absence land cover maps). Contains a number of newly-developed covariance-based estimators of GBL (Hingee et al., 2019) <doi:10.1007/s13253-019-00351-9> and balanced estimators, proposed by Picka (2000) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1428408>, for covariance, centred covariance, and pair-correlation. Also contains methods for estimating contagion-like properties of RACS and simulating 2D Boolean models. Binary coverage maps are usually represented as raster images with pixel values of TRUE, FALSE or NA, with NA representing unobserved pixels. A demo for extracting such a binary map from a geospatial data format is provided. Binary maps may also be represented using polygonal sets as the foreground, however for most computations such maps are converted into raster images. The package is based on research conducted during the author's PhD studies.

Latent Class Analysis of phenotypic measurements in pedigrees and model selection based on one of two methods: likelihood-based cross-validation and Bayesian Information Criterion. Computation of individual and triplet child-parents weights in a pedigree is performed using an upward-downward algorithm. The model takes into account the familial dependence defined by the pedigree structure by considering that a class of a child depends on his parents classes via triplet-transition probabilities of the classes. The package handles the case where measurements are available on all subjects and the case where measurements are available only on symptomatic (i.e. affected) subjects. Distributions for discrete (or ordinal) and continuous data are currently implemented. The package can deal with missing data.

An implementation of logistic normal multinomial (LNM) clustering. It is an extension of LNM mixture model proposed by Fang and Subedi (2020) <arXiv:2011.06682>, and is designed for clustering compositional data. The package includes 3 extended models: LNM Factor Analyzer (LNM-FA), LNM Bicluster Mixture Model (LNM-BMM) and Penalized LNM Factor Analyzer (LNM-FA). There are several advantages of LNM models: 1. LNM provides more flexible covariance structure; 2. Factor analyzer can reduce the number of parameters to estimate; 3. Bicluster can simultaneously cluster subjects and taxa, and provides significant biological insights; 4. Penalty term allows sparse estimation in the covariance matrix. Details for model assumptions and interpretation can be found in papers: Tu and Subedi (2021) <arXiv:2101.01871> and Tu and Subedi (2022) <doi:10.1002/sam.11555>.

This package provides regularized structural equation modeling (regularized SEM) with non-smooth penalty functions (e.g., lasso) building on lavaan'. The package is heavily inspired by the ['regsem'](<https://github.com/Rjacobucci/regsem>) and ['lslx'](<https://github.com/psyphh/lslx>) packages.

Enables users to handle the dataset cleaning for conducting specific analyses with the log files from two international educational assessments: the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA, <https://www.oecd.org/pisa/>) and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC, <https://www.oecd.org/skills/piaac/>). An illustration of the analyses can be found on the LOGAN Shiny app (<https://loganpackage.shinyapps.io/shiny/>) on your browser.

Gives users seeking federal lobbying disclosures an easier way to query the API maintained by the Senate federal lobbying disclosures database <https://lda.senate.gov/api/redoc/v1/> to find out how much companies and other entities are spending to lobby Congress and the federal government. It allows for search terms such as keywords, time periods and entity names. It then attempts to clean, or at least flag, filings that could provide incorrect results when seeking to answer the question: How much is being spent on lobbying our Congress and the administration and what issues do they care about?

Summarizes characteristics of linear mixed effects models without data or a fitted model by converting code for fitting lmer() from lme4 and lme() from nlme into tables, equations, and visuals. Outputs can be used to learn how to fit linear mixed effects models in R and to communicate about these models in presentations, manuscripts, and analysis plans.

This package provides a shiny application to construct age-specific life tables and fertility schedules from individual female daily egg records. The application computes age-specific survival and fertility functions and estimates key demographic parameters including the net reproductive rate, mean generation time, intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase and doubling time. Optional confidence intervals can be obtained using percentile bootstrap or delete-1 jackknife resampling at the female level. Methods and definitions follow Stevens (2009) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-89882-7> and Rossini et al. (2024) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0299598>.

Implementation of a theoretically supported alternative to k-nearest neighbors for functional data to solve problems of estimating unobserved segments of a partially observed functional data sample, functional classification and outlier detection. The approximating neighbor curves are piecewise functions built from a functional sample. Instead of a distance on a function space we use a locally defined distance function that satisfies stabilization criteria. The package allows the implementation of the methodology and the replication of the results in Elà as, A., Jiménez, R. and Yukich, J. (2020) <arXiv:2007.16059>.

Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n), compute the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a density as well as a smoothed version of it under the assumption that the density is log-concave, see Rufibach (2007) and Duembgen and Rufibach (2009). The main function of the package is logConDens that allows computation of the log-concave MLE and its smoothed version. In addition, we provide functions to compute (1) the value of the density and distribution function estimates (MLE and smoothed) at a given point (2) the characterizing functions of the estimator, (3) to sample from the estimated distribution, (5) to compute a two-sample permutation test based on log-concave densities, (6) the ROC curve based on log-concave estimates within cases and controls, including confidence intervals for given values of false positive fractions (7) computation of a confidence interval for the value of the true density at a fixed point. Finally, three datasets that have been used to illustrate log-concave density estimation are made available.
