This package provides a comprehensive, simulation-based toolkit for power and sample-size analysis for linear and generalized linear mixed-effects models (LMMs and GLMMs). Supports Gaussian, binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial families via lme4'; Wald and likelihood-ratio tests; multi-parameter sensitivity grids; power curves and minimum sample-size solvers; parallel evaluation with deterministic seeds; and full reproducibility (manifests, result bundling, and export to CSV/JSON).

This package provides a collection of miscellaneous helper function for running multilevel/mixed models in lme4'. This package aims to provide functions to compute common tasks when estimating multilevel models such as computing the intraclass correlation and design effect, centering variables, estimating the proportion of variance explained at each level, pseudo-R squared, random intercept and slope reliabilities, tests for homogeneity of variance at level-1, and cluster robust and bootstrap standard errors. The tests and statistics reported in the package are from Raudenbush & Bryk (2002, ISBN:9780761919049), Hox et al. (2018, ISBN:9781138121362), and Snijders & Bosker (2012, ISBN:9781849202015).

This package provides routines for multivariate measurement error correction. Includes procedures for linear, logistic and Cox regression models. Bootstrapped standard errors and confidence intervals can be obtained for corrected estimates.

This is a cross-platform linear model to SQL compiler. It generates SQL from linear and generalized linear models. Its interface consists of a single function, modelc(), which takes the output of lm() or glm() functions (or any object which has the same signature) and outputs a SQL character vector representing the predictions on the scale of the response variable as described in Dunn & Smith (2018) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4419-0118-7> and originating in Nelder & Wedderburn (1972) <doi:10.2307/2344614>. The resultant SQL can be included in a SELECT statement and returns output similar to that of the glm.predict() or lm.predict() predictions, assuming numeric types are represented in the database using sufficient precision. Currently log and identity link functions are supported.

This package provides graph-constrained regression methods in which regularization parameters are selected automatically via estimation of equivalent Linear Mixed Model formulation. riPEER (ridgified Partially Empirical Eigenvectors for Regression) method employs a penalty term being a linear combination of graph-originated and ridge-originated penalty terms, whose two regularization parameters are ML estimators from corresponding Linear Mixed Model solution; a graph-originated penalty term allows imposing similarity between coefficients based on graph information given whereas additional ridge-originated penalty term facilitates parameters estimation: it reduces computational issues arising from singularity in a graph-originated penalty matrix and yields plausible results in situations when graph information is not informative. riPEERc (ridgified Partially Empirical Eigenvectors for Regression with constant) method utilizes addition of a diagonal matrix multiplied by a predefined (small) scalar to handle the non-invertibility of a graph Laplacian matrix. vrPEER (variable reducted PEER) method performs variable-reduction procedure to handle the non-invertibility of a graph Laplacian matrix.

Modular implementation of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) [Zhang and Li (2007), <DOI:10.1109/TEVC.2007.892759>] for quick assembling and testing of new algorithmic components, as well as easy replication of published MOEA/D proposals. The full framework is documented in a paper published in the Journal of Statistical Software [<doi:10.18637/jss.v092.i06>].

This package provides functions to impute missing values using Gaussian copulas for mixed data types as described by Christoffersen et al. (2021) <arXiv:2102.02642>. The method is related to Hoff (2007) <doi:10.1214/07-AOAS107> and Zhao and Udell (2019) <arXiv:1910.12845> but differs by making a direct approximation of the log marginal likelihood using an extended version of the Fortran code created by Genz and Bretz (2002) <doi:10.1198/106186002394> in addition to also support multinomial variables.

This package provides sample data sets that are used in statistics and data science courses at the Münster School of Business. The datasets refer to different business topics but also other domains, e.g. sports, traffic, etc.

Selects matched samples of the original treated and control groups with similar covariate distributions -- can be used to match exactly on covariates, to match on propensity scores, or perform a variety of other matching procedures. The package also implements a series of recommendations offered in Ho, Imai, King, and Stuart (2007) <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpl013>. (The gurobi package, which is not on CRAN, is optional and comes with an installation of the Gurobi Optimizer, available at <https://www.gurobi.com>.).

Matrix eQTL is designed for fast eQTL analysis on large datasets. Matrix eQTL can test for association between genotype and gene expression using linear regression with either additive or ANOVA genotype effects. The models can include covariates to account for factors as population stratification, gender, and clinical variables. It also supports models with heteroscedastic and/or correlated errors, false discovery rate estimation and separate treatment of local (cis) and distant (trans) eQTLs. For more details see Shabalin (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts163>.

This package enables to select whether a dummy variable for base group is included (for principal component analysis/factor analysis) or excluded (for regression analysis) by an option. makedummies function accepts data.frame', matrix', and tbl (tibble) class (by tibble package). matrix class data is automatically converted to data.frame class.

Estimates the sample size needed to detect microbial contamination in a lot with a user-specified detection probability and user-specified analytical sensitivity. Various patterns of microbial contamination are accounted for: homogeneous (Poisson), heterogeneous (Poisson-Gamma) or localized(Zero-inflated Poisson). Ida Jongenburger et al.

Fits a geographically weighted regression model with different scales for each covariate. Uses the negative binomial distribution as default, but also accepts the normal, Poisson, or logistic distributions. Can fit the global versions of each regression and also the geographically weighted alternatives with only one scale, since they are all particular cases of the multiscale approach.
