Companion package of Carrion-i-Silvestre & Sansó (2023): "Generalized Extreme Value Approximation to the CUMSUMQ Test for Constant Unconditional Variance in Heavy-Tailed Time Series". It implements the Modified Iterative Cumulative Sum of Squares Algorithm, which is an extension of the Iterative Cumulative Sum of Squares (ICSS) Algorithm of Inclan and Tiao (1994), and it checks for changes in the unconditional variance of a time series controlling for the tail index of the underlying distribution. The fourth order moment is estimated non-parametrically to avoid the size problems when the innovations are non-Gaussian (see, Sansó et al., 2004). Critical values and p-values are generated using a Generalized Extreme Value distribution approach.

The number of biological databases is growing rapidly, but different databases use different IDs to refer to the same biological entity. The inconsistency in IDs impedes the integration of various types of biological data. To resolve the problem, we developed MantaID', a data-driven, machine-learning based approach that automates identifying IDs on a large scale. The MantaID model's prediction accuracy was proven to be 99%, and it correctly and effectively predicted 100,000 ID entries within two minutes. MantaID supports the discovery and exploitation of ID patterns from large quantities of databases. (e.g., up to 542 biological databases). An easy-to-use freely available open-source software R package, a user-friendly web application, and API were also developed for MantaID to improve applicability. To our knowledge, MantaID is the first tool that enables an automatic, quick, accurate, and comprehensive identification of large quantities of IDs, and can therefore be used as a starting point to facilitate the complex assimilation and aggregation of biological data across diverse databases.

This package provides a set of model-assisted survey estimators and corresponding variance estimators for single stage, unequal probability, without replacement sampling designs. All of the estimators can be written as a generalized regression estimator with the Horvitz-Thompson, ratio, post-stratified, and regression estimators summarized by Sarndal et al. (1992, ISBN:978-0-387-40620-6). Two of the estimators employ a statistical learning model as the assisting model: the elastic net regression estimator, which is an extension of the lasso regression estimator given by McConville et al. (2017) <doi:10.1093/jssam/smw041>, and the regression tree estimator described in McConville and Toth (2017) <arXiv:1712.05708>. The variance estimators which approximate the joint inclusion probabilities can be found in Berger and Tille (2009) <doi:10.1016/S0169-7161(08)00002-3> and the bootstrap variance estimator is presented in Mashreghi et al. (2016) <doi:10.1214/16-SS113>.

This package provides estimation methods for markets in equilibrium and disequilibrium. Supports the estimation of an equilibrium and four disequilibrium models with both correlated and independent shocks. Also provides post-estimation analysis tools, such as aggregation, marginal effect, and shortage calculations. See Karapanagiotis (2024) <doi:10.18637/jss.v108.i02> for an overview of the functionality and examples. The estimation methods are based on full information maximum likelihood techniques given in Maddala and Nelson (1974) <doi:10.2307/1914215>. They are implemented using the analytic derivative expressions calculated in Karapanagiotis (2020) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3525622>. Standard errors can be estimated by adjusting for heteroscedasticity or clustering. The equilibrium estimation constitutes a case of a system of linear, simultaneous equations. Instead, the disequilibrium models replace the market-clearing condition with a non-linear, short-side rule and allow for different specifications of price dynamics.

The midasml package implements estimation and prediction methods for high-dimensional mixed-frequency (MIDAS) time-series and panel data regression models. The regularized MIDAS models are estimated using orthogonal (e.g. Legendre) polynomials and sparse-group LASSO (sg-LASSO) estimator. For more information on the midasml approach see Babii, Ghysels, and Striaukas (2021, JBES forthcoming) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2021.1899933>. The package is equipped with the fast implementation of the sg-LASSO estimator by means of proximal block coordinate descent. High-dimensional mixed frequency time-series data can also be easily manipulated with functions provided in the package.

It provides the ability to build, tune and obtain predictions of several models in one function. The models are built using functions from caret with easier to read syntax.

Machine learning method specifically designed for pre-miRNA prediction. It takes advantage of unlabeled sequences to improve the prediction rates even when there are just a few positive examples, when the negative examples are unreliable or are not good representatives of its class. Furthermore, the method can automatically search for negative examples if the user is unable to provide them. MiRNAss can find a good boundary to divide the pre-miRNAs from other groups of sequences; it automatically optimizes the threshold that defines the classes boundaries, and thus, it is robust to high class imbalance. Each step of the method is scalable and can handle large volumes of data.
