This package provides a minimal library specifically designed to make the estimation of Machine Learning (ML) techniques as easy and accessible as possible, particularly within the framework of the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process in data mining. The package provides essential tools to structure and execute each stage of a predictive or classification modeling workflow, aligning closely with the fundamental steps of the KDD methodology, from data selection and preparation, through model building and tuning, to the interpretation and evaluation of results using Sensitivity Analysis. The MLwrap workflow is organized into four core steps; preprocessing(), build_model(), fine_tuning(), and sensitivity_analysis(). It also includes global and pairwise interaction analysis based on Friedmanâ s H-statistic to support a more detailed interpretation of complex feature relationships.These steps correspond, respectively, to data preparation and transformation, model construction, hyperparameter optimization, and sensitivity analysis. The user can access comprehensive model evaluation results including fit assessment metrics, plots, predictions, and performance diagnostics for ML models implemented through Neural Networks', Random Forest', XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithms. By streamlining these phases, MLwrap aims to simplify the implementation of ML techniques, allowing analysts and data scientists to focus on extracting actionable insights and meaningful patterns from large datasets, in line with the objectives of the KDD process.

According to a phenomenon known as "the wisdom of the crowds," combining point estimates from multiple judges often provides a more accurate aggregate estimate than using a point estimate from a single judge. However, if the judges use shared information in their estimates, the simple average will over-emphasize this common component at the expense of the judgesâ private information. Asa Palley & Ville Satopää (2021) "Boosting the Wisdom of Crowds Within a Single Judgment Problem: Selective Averaging Based on Peer Predictions" <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=3504286> proposes a procedure for calculating a weighted average of the judgesâ individual estimates such that resulting aggregate estimate appropriately combines the judges collective information within a single estimation problem. The authors use both simulation and data from six experimental studies to illustrate that the weighting procedure outperforms existing averaging-like methods, such as the equally weighted average, trimmed average, and median. This aggregate estimate -- know as "the knowledge-weighted estimate" -- inputs a) judges estimates of a continuous outcome (E) and b) predictions of others average estimate of this outcome (P). In this R-package, the function knowledge_weighted_estimate(E,P) implements the knowledge-weighted estimate. Its use is illustrated with a simple stylized example and on real-world experimental data.

This is an EM algorithm based method for imputation of missing values in multivariate normal time series. The imputation algorithm accounts for both spatial and temporal correlation structures. Temporal patterns can be modeled using an ARIMA(p,d,q), optionally with seasonal components, a non-parametric cubic spline or generalized additive models with exogenous covariates. This algorithm is specially tailored for climate data with missing measurements from several monitors along a given region.

Implemented are various tests for semi-parametric repeated measures and general MANOVA designs that do neither assume multivariate normality nor covariance homogeneity, i.e., the procedures are applicable for a wide range of general multivariate factorial designs. In addition to asymptotic inference methods, novel bootstrap and permutation approaches are implemented as well. These provide more accurate results in case of small to moderate sample sizes. Furthermore, post-hoc comparisons are provided for the multivariate analyses. Friedrich, S., Konietschke, F. and Pauly, M. (2019) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2019-051>.

Miscellaneous functions and wrappers for development in other packages created, maintained by Jordan Mark Barbone.

This package provides a user-friendly way for the analysis of multinomial processing tree (MPT) models (e.g., Riefer, D. M., and Batchelder, W. H. [1988]. Multinomial modeling and the measurement of cognitive processes. Psychological Review, 95, 318-339) for single and multiple datasets. The main functions perform model fitting and model selection. Model selection can be done using AIC, BIC, or the Fisher Information Approximation (FIA) a measure based on the Minimum Description Length (MDL) framework. The model and restrictions can be specified in external files or within an R script in an intuitive syntax or using the context-free language for MPTs. The classical .EQN file format for model files is also supported. Besides MPTs, this package can fit a wide variety of other cognitive models such as SDT models (see fit.model). It also supports multicore fitting and FIA calculation (using the snowfall package), can generate or bootstrap data for simulations, and plot predicted versus observed data.

It finds Orthogonal Data Projections with Maximal Skewness. The first data projection in the output is the most skewed among all linear data projections. The second data projection in the output is the most skewed among all data projections orthogonal to the first one, and so on.

This package performs maximum likelihood estimation for finite mixture models for families including Normal, Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal by using EM algorithm, together with Newton-Raphson algorithm or bisection method when necessary. It also conducts mixture model selection by using information criteria or bootstrap likelihood ratio test. The data used for mixture model fitting can be raw data or binned data. The model fitting process is accelerated by using R package Rcpp'.

Electronic health records (EHR) linked with biorepositories are a powerful platform for translational studies. A major bottleneck exists in the ability to phenotype patients accurately and efficiently. Towards that end, we developed an automated high-throughput phenotyping method integrating International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes and narrative data extracted using natural language processing (NLP). Specifically, our proposed method, called MAP (Map Automated Phenotyping algorithm), fits an ensemble of latent mixture models on aggregated ICD and NLP counts along with healthcare utilization. The MAP algorithm yields a predicted probability of phenotype for each patient and a threshold for classifying subjects with phenotype yes/no (See Katherine P. Liao, et al. (2019) <doi:10.1093/jamia/ocz066>.).
