The Macroeconomics-at-Risk (MaR) approach is based on a two-step semi-parametric estimation procedure that allows to forecast the full conditional distribution of an economic variable at a given horizon, as a function of a set of factors. These density forecasts are then be used to produce coherent forecasts for any downside risk measure, e.g., value-at-risk, expected shortfall, downside entropy. Initially introduced by Adrian et al. (2019) <doi:10.1257/aer.20161923> to reveal the vulnerability of economic growth to financial conditions, the MaR approach is currently extensively used by international financial institutions to provide Value-at-Risk (VaR) type forecasts for GDP growth (Growth-at-Risk) or inflation (Inflation-at-Risk). This package provides methods for estimating these models. Datasets for the US and the Eurozone are available to allow testing of the Adrian et al (2019) model. This package constitutes a useful toolbox (data and functions) for private practitioners, scholars as well as policymakers.

Fits Bayesian time-course models for model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) that allows inclusion of multiple time-points from studies. Repeated measures over time are accounted for within studies by applying different time-course functions, following the method of Pedder et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1351>. The method allows synthesis of studies with multiple follow-up measurements that can account for time-course for a single or multiple treatment comparisons. Several general time-course functions are provided; others may be added by the user. Various characteristics can be flexibly added to the models, such as correlation between time points and shared class effects. The consistency of direct and indirect evidence in the network can be assessed using unrelated mean effects models and/or by node-splitting.

Publicly available data from Medicare frequently requires extensive initial effort to extract desired variables and merge them; this package formalizes the techniques I've found work best. More information on the Medicare program, as well as guidance for the publicly available data this package targets, can be found on CMS's website covering publicly available data. See <https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems.html>.

There are two functions-meta2d and meta3d for detecting rhythmic signals from time-series datasets. For analyzing time-series datasets without individual information, meta2d is suggested, which could incorporates multiple methods from ARSER, JTK_CYCLE and Lomb-Scargle in the detection of interested rhythms. For analyzing time-series datasets with individual information, meta3d is suggested, which takes use of any one of these three methods to analyze time-series data individual by individual and gives out integrated values based on analysis result of each individual.

Support JSON flattening in a long data frame way, where the nesting keys will be stored in the absolute path. It also provides an easy way to summarize the basic description of a JSON list. The idea of mojson is to transform a JSON object in an absolute serialization way, which means the early key-value pairs will appear in the heading rows of the resultant data frame. mojson also provides an alternative way of comparing two different JSON lists, returning the left/inner/right-join style results.

The stepwise regression with assumptions checking and the possible Box-Cox transformation.

Tool for exploring DNA and amino acid variation and inferring the presence of target lineages from microbial high-throughput genomic DNA samples that potentially contain mixtures of variants/lineages. MixviR was originally created to help analyze environmental SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 samples from environmental sources such as wastewater or dust, but can be applied to any microbial group. Inputs include reference genome information in commonly-used file formats (fasta, bed) and one or more variant call format (VCF) files, which can be generated with programs such as Illumina's DRAGEN, the Genome Analysis Toolkit, or bcftools. See DePristo et al (2011) <doi:10.1038/ng.806> and Danecek et al (2021) <doi:10.1093/gigascience/giab008> for these tools, respectively. Available outputs include a table of mutations observed in the sample(s), estimates of proportions of target lineages in the sample(s), and an R Shiny dashboard to interactively explore the data.

The current version of the MixSAL package allows users to generate data from a multivariate SAL distribution or a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions, evaluate the probability density function of a multivariate SAL distribution or a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions, and fit a mixture of multivariate SAL distributions using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm (see Franczak et. al, 2014, <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2013.216>, for details).

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>.).

This package provides a declarative language for specifying multilevel models, solving for population parameters based on specified variance-explained effect size measures, generating data, and conducting power analyses to determine sample size recommendations. The specification allows for any number of within-cluster effects, between-cluster effects, covariate effects at either level, and random coefficients. Moreover, the models do not assume orthogonal effects, and predictors can correlate at either level and accommodate models with multiple interaction effects.

This package provides a novel framework to estimate mixed models via gradient boosting. The implemented functions are based on the mboost and lme4 packages, and the family range is therefore determined by lme4'. A correction mechanism for cluster-constant covariates is implemented, as well as estimation of the covariance of random effects. These methods are described in the accompanying publication; see <doi:10.1007/s11222-025-10612-y> for details.

It is a hybrid spatial model that combines the strength of two widely used regression models, MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) and GWR (Geographically Weighted Regression) to provide an effective approach for predicting a response variable at unknown locations. The MARS model is used in the first step of the development of a hybrid model to identify the most important predictor variables that assist in predicting the response variable. For method details see, Friedman, J.H. (1991). <DOI:10.1214/aos/1176347963>.The GWR model is then used to predict the response variable at testing locations based on these selected variables that account for spatial variations in the relationships between the variables. This hybrid model can improve the accuracy of the predictions compared to using an individual model alone.This developed hybrid spatial model can be useful particularly in cases where the relationship between the response variable and predictor variables is complex and non-linear, and varies across locations.

Bayesian variable selection methods for data with multivariate responses and multiple covariates. The package contains implementations of multivariate Bayesian variable selection methods for continuous data (Lee et al., Biometrics, 2017 <doi:10.1111/biom.12557>) and zero-inflated count data (Lee et al., Biostatistics, 2020 <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy067>).

An approach to identify microbiome biomarker for time to event data by discovering microbiome for predicting survival and classifying subjects into risk groups. Classifiers are constructed as a linear combination of important microbiome and treatment effects if necessary. Several methods were implemented to estimate the microbiome risk score such as the LASSO method by Robert Tibshirani (1998) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19970228)16:4%3C385::AID-SIM380%3E3.0.CO;2-3>, Elastic net approach by Hui Zou and Trevor Hastie (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>, supervised principle component analysis of Wold Svante et al. (1987) <doi:10.1016/0169-7439(87)80084-9>, and supervised partial least squares analysis by Inge S. Helland <https://www.jstor.org/stable/4616159>. Sensitivity analysis on the quantile used for the classification can also be accessed to check the deviation of the classification group based on the quantile specified. Large scale cross validation can be performed in order to investigate the mostly selected microbiome and for internal validation. During the evaluation process, validation is accessed using the hazard ratios (HR) distribution of the test set and inference is mainly based on resampling and permutations technique.

All the sources are public and free, but the advantage of these functions is that they directly download and harmonize the information in R's environment. No need to import or download additional files. You only need an internet connection!

This package implements the Maki (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.econmod.2012.05.006> cointegration test that allows for an unknown number of structural breaks. The test detects cointegration relationships in the presence of up to five structural breaks in the intercept and/or slope coefficients. Four different model specifications are supported: level shifts, level shifts with trend, regime shifts, and trend with regime shifts. The method is described in Maki (2012) "Tests for cointegration allowing for an unknown number of breaks" <doi:10.1016/j.econmod.2012.05.006>.
