This package performs change point detection on univariate and multivariate time series (Martà nez & Mena, 2014, <doi:10.1214/14-BA878> ; Corradin, Danese & Ongaro, 2022, <doi:10.1016/j.ijar.2021.12.019>) and clusters time-dependent data with common change points (Corradin, Danese, KhudaBukhsh & Ongaro, 2026, <doi:10.1007/s11222-025-10756-x>).

This package implements bridge models for nowcasting and forecasting macroeconomic variables by linking high-frequency indicator variables (e.g., monthly data) to low-frequency target variables (e.g., quarterly GDP). Simplifies forecasting and aggregating indicator variables to match the target frequency, enabling timely predictions ahead of official data releases. For more on bridge models, see Baffigi, A., Golinelli, R., & Parigi, G. (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0169-2070(03)00067-0>, Burri (2023) <https://www5.unine.ch/RePEc/ftp/irn/pdfs/WP23-02.pdf> or Schumacher (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2015.07.004>.

This package provides functions to prepare tidy objects from estimated models via BVAR (see Kuschnig & Vashold, 2019 <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.25541.60643>) and visualisation thereof. Bridges the gap between estimating models with BVAR and plotting the results in a more sophisticated way with ggplot2 as well as passing them on in a tidy format.

Computes appropriate confidence intervals for the likelihood ratio tests commonly used in medicine/epidemiology, using the method of Marill et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/0962280215592907>. It is particularly useful when the sensitivity or specificity in the sample is 100%. Note that this does not perform the test on nested models--for that, see epicalc::lrtest'.

This package implements a modified Newton-type algorithm (BSW algorithm) for solving the maximum likelihood estimation problem in fitting a log-binomial model under linear inequality constraints.

This package provides tools to fit Bayesian state-space models to animal tracking data. Models are provided for location filtering, location filtering and behavioural state estimation, and their hierarchical versions. The models are primarily intended for fitting to ARGOS satellite tracking data but options exist to fit to other tracking data types. For Global Positioning System data, consider the moveHMM package. Simplified Markov Chain Monte Carlo convergence diagnostic plotting is provided but users are encouraged to explore tools available in packages such as coda and boa'.

The plotup() function also makes it possible to obtain the code used to generate the graphic, meaning that the user can adjust its properties as needed. d.) matrixplot graphics that is a grid of a particular graphic showing bivariate relationships between all pairs of variables of a certain(s) type(s) in a multivariate data set.

This package implements state-of-the-art algorithms for the Bayesian analysis of Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) identified by sign, zero, and narrative restrictions. The core model is based on a flexible Vector Autoregression with estimated hyper-parameters of the Minnesota prior and the dummy observation priors as in Giannone, Lenza, Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483>. The sign restrictions are implemented employing the methods proposed by Rubio-Ramà rez, Waggoner & Zha (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-937X.2009.00578.x>, while identification through sign and zero restrictions follows the approach developed by Arias, Rubio-Ramà rez, & Waggoner (2018) <doi:10.3982/ECTA14468>. Furthermore, our tool provides algorithms for identification via sign and narrative restrictions, in line with the methods introduced by Antolà n-Dà az and Rubio-Ramà rez (2018) <doi:10.1257/aer.20161852>. Users can also estimate a model with sign, zero, and narrative restrictions imposed at once. The package facilitates predictive and structural analyses using impulse responses, forecast error variance and historical decompositions, forecasting and conditional forecasting, as well as analyses of structural shocks and fitted values. All this is complemented by colourful plots, user-friendly summary functions, and comprehensive documentation including the vignette by Wang & Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.16711>. The bsvarSIGNs package is aligned regarding objects, workflows, and code structure with the R package bsvars by Woźniak (2024) <doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.bsvars>, and they constitute an integrated toolset. It was granted the Di Cook Open-Source Statistical Software Award by the Statistical Society of Australia in 2024.

This package contains a variety of methods to generate typical causal inference estimates using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) as the underlying regression model (Hill (2012) <doi:10.1198/jcgs.2010.08162>).

An implementation of the model in Steorts (2015) <DOI:10.1214/15-BA965SI>, which performs Bayesian entity resolution for categorical and text data, for any distance function defined by the user. In addition, the precision and recall are in the package to allow one to compare to any other comparable method such as logistic regression, Bayesian additive regression trees (BART), or random forests. The experiments are reproducible and illustrated using a simple vignette. LICENSE: GPL-3 + file license.

This package performs Bayesian posterior inference for heteroskedastic Gaussian processes. Models are trained through MCMC including elliptical slice sampling (ESS) of latent noise processes and Metropolis-Hastings sampling of kernel hyperparameters. Replicates are handled efficientyly through a Woodbury formulation of the joint likelihood for the mean and noise process (Binois, M., Gramacy, R., Ludkovski, M. (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1458625>) For large data, Vecchia-approximation for faster computation is leveraged (Sauer, A., Cooper, A., and Gramacy, R., (2023), <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2129662>). Incorporates OpenMP and SNOW parallelization and utilizes C'/'C++ under the hood.

This package provides maximum likelihood estimates of the performance parameters that drive a binomial distribution of observed errors, and takes full advantage of zero error observations. High performance communications systems typically have inherent noise sources and other performance limitations that need to be estimated. Measurements made at high signal to noise ratios typically result in zero errors due to limitation in available measurement time. Package includes theoretical performance functions for common modulation schemes (Proakis, "Digital Communications" (1995, <ISBN:0-07-051726-6>)), polarization shifted QPSK (Agrell & Karlsson (2009, <DOI:10.1109/JLT.2009.2029064>)), and utility functions to work with the performance functions.

This package implements the bolasso algorithm for consistent variable selection and estimation accuracy. Includes support for many parallel backends via the future package.

This package provides a recently proposed Bayesian BIN model disentangles the underlying processes that enable forecasters and forecasting methods to improve, decomposing forecasting accuracy into three components: bias, partial information, and noise. By describing the differences between two groups of forecasters, the model allows the user to carry out useful inference, such as calculating the posterior probabilities of the treatment reducing bias, diminishing noise, or increasing information. It also provides insight into how much tamping down bias and noise in judgment or enhancing the efficient extraction of valid information from the environment improves forecasting accuracy. This package provides easy access to the BIN model. For further information refer to the paper Ville A. Satopää, Marat Salikhov, Philip E. Tetlock, and Barbara Mellers (2021) "Bias, Information, Noise: The BIN Model of Forecasting" <doi:10.1287/mnsc.2020.3882>.

Boosting Regression Quantiles is a component-wise boosting algorithm, that embeds all boosting steps in the well-established framework of quantile regression. It is initialized with the corresponding quantile, uses a quantile-specific learning rate, and uses quantile regression as its base learner. The package implements this algorithm and allows cross-validation and stability selection.

This package provides an R interface for the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) API (see <http://www.bea.gov/API/bea_web_service_api_user_guide.htm> for more information) that serves two core purposes - 1. To Extract/Transform/Load data [beaGet()] from the BEA API as R-friendly formats in the user's work space [transformation done by default in beaGet() can be modified using optional parameters; see, too, bea2List(), bea2Tab()]. 2. To enable the search of descriptive meta data [beaSearch()]. Other features of the library exist mainly as intermediate methods or are in early stages of development. Important Note - You must have an API key to use this library. Register for a key at <http://www.bea.gov/API/signup/index.cfm> .

This package implements Bayesian multiple-membership multilevel models with parameterizable weight functions via JAGS to model how lower-level units jointly shape higher-level outcomes (micro-macro link) across a range of outcome types (e.g., linear, logit, and survival models). Supports estimation and comparison of alternative aggregation mechanisms, allows weight matrices to be endogenized through parameters and covariates, and accommodates complex dependence structures that extend beyond traditional multilevel frameworks. For details, see Rosche (2026) "A Multilevel Model for Coalition Governments. Uncovering Party-Level Dependencies Within and Between Governments" <doi:10.31235/osf.io/4bafr_v2>.
