Nonparametric methods for landmark prediction of long-term survival outcomes, incorporating covariate and short-term event information. The package supports the construction of flexible varying-coefficient models that use discrete covariates, as well as multiple continuous covariates. The goal is to improve prediction accuracy when censored short-term events are available as predictors, using robust nonparametric procedures that do not require correct model specification and avoid restrictive parametric assumptions found in alternative methods. More information on these methods can be found in Parast et al. 2012 <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.721281>, Parast et al. 2011 <doi:10.1002/bimj.201000150>, and Parast and Cai 2013 <doi:10.1002/sim.5776>. A tutorial for this package is available here: <https://www.laylaparast.com/landpred>.

This package provides an interactive shiny application to construct stage-structured life tables from tabular input data. The application includes input validation, demographic calculations, visualization tools, and export of tables and figures to support reproducible workflows in ecological and entomological studies. Methods for life table construction follow classical demographic approaches described in Martinez (2015) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.21333.65760>.

Fit the log binomial regression model (LBM) by Exact method. Limited parameter space of LBM causes trouble to find admissible estimates and fail to converge when MLE is close to or on the boundary of space. Exact method utilizes the property of boundary vectors to re-parametrize the model without losing any information, and fits the model on the standard fitting algorithm with no convergence issues.

It converts continuous latent variables into ordinal categories to generate Likert scale item responses. Particularly useful for accurately modeling and analyzing survey data that use Likert scales, especially when applying statistical techniques that require metric data.

Participants can be simulated using either fixed parameters or parameters drawn from a distribution.

This package provides in built datasets and three functions. These functions are mobility_index, nonStanTest and linkedLives. The mobility_index function facilitates the calculation of lifecourse fluidity, whilst the nonStanTest and the linkedLives functions allow the user to determine the probability that the observed sequence data was due to chance. The linkedLives function acknowledges the fact that some individuals may have identical sequences. The datasets available provide sequence data on marital status(maritalData) and mobility (mydata) for a selected group of individuals from the British Household Panel Study (BHPS). In addition, personal and house ID's for 100 individuals are provided in a third dataset (myHouseID) from the BHPS.
