Implementation of the Swiss Confederation's standard analysis model for salary analyses <www.ebg.admin.ch/en/equal-pay-analysis-with-logib> in R. The analysis is run at company-level and the model is intended for medium-sized and large companies. It can technically be used with 50 or more employees (apprentices, trainees/interns and expats are not included in the analysis). Employees with at least 100 employees are required by the Gender Equality Act to conduct an equal pay analysis. This package allows users to run the equal salary analysis in R, providing additional transparency with respect to the methodology and simple automation possibilities.

Publication-ready regional gene locus plots similar to those produced by the web interface LocusZoom <https://my.locuszoom.org>, but running locally in R. Genetic or genomic data with gene annotation tracks are plotted via R base graphics, ggplot2 or plotly', allowing flexibility and easy customisation including laying out multiple locus plots on the same page. It uses the LDlink API <https://ldlink.nih.gov/?tab=apiaccess> to query linkage disequilibrium data from the 1000 Genomes Project and can overlay this on plots <doi:10.1093/bioadv/vbaf006>.

When building complex models, it is often difficult to explain why the model should be trusted. While global measures such as accuracy are useful, they cannot be used for explaining why a model made a specific prediction. lime (a port of the lime Python package) is a method for explaining the outcome of black box models by fitting a local model around the point in question an perturbations of this point. The approach is described in more detail in the article by Ribeiro et al. (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.04938>.

In the fashion of node.js <https://nodejs.org/>, requires a file, sourcing into the current environment only the variables explicitly specified in the module.exports or exports list variable. If the file was already sourced, the result of the earlier sourcing is returned to the caller.

Additional appenders for the logging package lgr that support logging to Elasticsearch', Dynatrace', AWSCloudWatchLog', databases, syslog', email- and push notifications, and more.

Estimation of a multi-group count regression models (i.e., Poisson, negative binomial) with latent covariates. This packages provides two extensions compared to ordinary count regression models based on a generalized linear model: First, measurement models for the predictors can be specified allowing to account for measurement error. Second, the count regression can be simultaneously estimated in multiple groups with stochastic group weights. The marginal maximum likelihood estimation is described in Kiefer & Mayer (2020) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2020.1751027>.

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.

Download Internet Protocol (IP) address location and more from the ip-api application programming interface (API) <https://ip-api.com/>. The package makes it easy to get the latitude, longitude, country, region, and organisation associated to the provided IP address. The information is conveniently returned in a rectangular format.

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?

Inference for the Lorenz and penalized Lorenz regressions. More broadly, the package proposes functions to assess inequality and graphically represent it. The Lorenz Regression procedure is introduced in Heuchenne and Jacquemain (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107347> and in Jacquemain, A., C. Heuchenne, and E. Pircalabelu (2024) <doi:10.1214/23-EJS2200>.

This package performs approximate GP regression for large computer experiments and spatial datasets. The approximation is based on finding small local designs for prediction (independently) at particular inputs. OpenMP and SNOW parallelization are supported for prediction over a vast out-of-sample testing set; GPU acceleration is also supported for an important subroutine. OpenMP and GPU features may require special compilation. An interface to lower-level (full) GP inference and prediction is provided. Wrapper routines for blackbox optimization under mixed equality and inequality constraints via an augmented Lagrangian scheme, and for large scale computer model calibration, are also provided. For details and tutorial, see Gramacy (2016 <doi:10.18637/jss.v072.i01>.

Letter Values for the course Exploratory Data Analysis at Federal University of Bahia (Brazil). The approach implemented in the package is presented in the textbook of Tukey (1977) <ISBN: 978-0201076165>.

Efficient implementation of Friedman's boosting algorithm with l2-loss function and coordinate direction (design matrix columns) basis functions.

It fits a robust linear quantile regression model using a new family of zero-quantile distributions for the error term. Missing values and censored observations can be handled as well. This family of distribution includes skewed versions of the Normal, Student's t, Laplace, Slash and Contaminated Normal distribution. It also performs logistic quantile regression for bounded responses as shown in Galarza et.al.(2020) <doi:10.1007/s13571-020-00231-0>. It provides estimates and full inference. It also provides envelopes plots for assessing the fit and confidences bands when several quantiles are provided simultaneously.

This package provides tools for model specification in the latent variable framework (add-on to the lava package). The package contains three main functionalities: Wald tests/F-tests with improved control of the type 1 error in small samples, adjustment for multiple comparisons when searching for local dependencies, and adjustment for multiple comparisons when doing inference for multiple latent variable models.

Allows researchers to conduct multivariate statistical analyses of survey data with list experiments. This survey methodology is also known as the item count technique or the unmatched count technique and is an alternative to the commonly used randomized response method. The package implements the methods developed by Imai (2011) <doi:10.1198/jasa.2011.ap10415>, Blair and Imai (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpr048>, Blair, Imai, and Lyall (2013) <doi:10.1111/ajps.12086>, Imai, Park, and Greene (2014) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpu017>, Aronow, Coppock, Crawford, and Green (2015) <doi:10.1093/jssam/smu023>, Chou, Imai, and Rosenfeld (2017) <doi:10.1177/0049124117729711>, and Blair, Chou, and Imai (2018) <https://imai.fas.harvard.edu/research/files/listerror.pdf>. This includes a Bayesian MCMC implementation of regression for the standard and multiple sensitive item list experiment designs and a random effects setup, a Bayesian MCMC hierarchical regression model with up to three hierarchical groups, the combined list experiment and endorsement experiment regression model, a joint model of the list experiment that enables the analysis of the list experiment as a predictor in outcome regression models, a method for combining list experiments with direct questions, and methods for diagnosing and adjusting for response error. In addition, the package implements the statistical test that is designed to detect certain failures of list experiments, and a placebo test for the list experiment using data from direct questions.

This package provides functions for the longitudinal genetic random field method (He et al., 2015, <doi:10.1111/biom.12310>) to test the association between a longitudinally measured quantitative outcome and a set of genetic variants in a gene/region.

This package provides R bindings to the llama.cpp library for running large language models. The package uses a lightweight architecture where the C++ backend library is downloaded at runtime rather than bundled with the package. Package features include text generation, reproducible generation, and parallel inference.

Fit response surfaces for datasets with latent-variable Gaussian process modeling, predict responses for new inputs, and plot latent variables locations in the latent space (only 1D or 2D). The input variables of the datasets can be quantitative, qualitative/categorical or mixed. The output variable of the datasets is a scalar (quantitative). The optimization of the likelihood function is done using a successive approximation/relaxation algorithm similar to another GP modeling package "GPM". The modeling method is published in "A Latent Variable Approach to Gaussian Process Modeling with Qualitative and Quantitative Factors" by Yichi Zhang, Siyu Tao, Wei Chen, and Daniel W. Apley (2018) <arXiv:1806.07504>. The package is developed in IDEAL of Northwestern University.

This package provides functions to access and test results from a linear model.

This package provides a way to fit Parsimonious Finite Mixtures of Multivariate Elliptical Leptokurtic-Normals. Two methods of estimation are implemented.

Helper functions to implement univariate and bivariate latent change score models in R using the lavaan package. For details about Latent Change Score Modeling (LCSM) see McArdle (2009) <doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.60.110707.163612> and Grimm, An, McArdle, Zonderman and Resnick (2012) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2012.659627>. The package automatically generates lavaan syntax for different model specifications and varying timepoints. The lavaan syntax generated by this package can be returned and further specifications can be added manually. Longitudinal plots as well as simplified path diagrams can be created to visualise data and model specifications. Estimated model parameters and fit statistics can be extracted as data frames. Data for different univariate and bivariate LCSM can be simulated by specifying estimates for model parameters to explore their effects. This package combines the strengths of other R packages like lavaan', broom', and semPlot by generating lavaan syntax that helps these packages work together.

This package provides a graphical user interface with an integrated diagrammer for latent variable models from the lavaan package. It offers two core functions: first, lavaangui() launches a web application that allows users to specify models by drawing path diagrams, fitting them, assessing model fit, and more; second, plot_lavaan() creates interactive path diagrams from models specified in lavaan'. Karch (2024) <doi: 10.1080/10705511.2024.2420678> contains a tutorial.
