Fit and simulate mixtures of von Mises-Fisher distributions.

Estimate Multidimensional Poverty Indices disaggregated by population subgroups based on the Alkire and Foster method (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jpubeco.2010.11.006>. This includes the calculation of standard errors and confidence intervals. Other partial indices such as incidence, intensity and indicator-specific measures as well as intertemporal changes analysis can also be estimated. The standard errors and confidence intervals are calculated considering the complex survey design.

Procedures to fit species distributions models from occurrence records and environmental variables, using glmnet for model fitting. Model structure is the same as for the Maxent Java package, version 3.4.0, with the same feature types and regularization options. See the Maxent website <http://biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/open_source/maxent> for more details.

Model for simulating language evolution in terms of cultural evolution (Smith & Kirby (2008) <DOI:10.1098/rstb.2008.0145>; Deacon 1997). The focus is on the emergence of argument-marking systems (Dowty (1991) <DOI:10.1353/lan.1991.0021>, Van Valin 1999, Dryer 2002, Lestrade 2015a), i.e. noun marking (Aristar (1997) <DOI:10.1075/sl.21.2.04ari>, Lestrade (2010) <DOI:10.7282/T3ZG6R4S>), person indexing (Ariel 1999, Dahl (2000) <DOI:10.1075/fol.7.1.03dah>, Bhat 2004), and word order (Dryer 2013), but extensions are foreseen. Agents start out with a protolanguage (a language without grammar; Bickerton (1981) <DOI:10.17169/langsci.b91.109>, Jackendoff 2002, Arbib (2015) <DOI:10.1002/9781118346136.ch27>) and interact through language games (Steels 1997). Over time, grammatical constructions emerge that may or may not become obligatory (for which the tolerance principle is assumed; Yang 2016). Throughout the simulation, uniformitarianism of principles is assumed (Hopper (1987) <DOI:10.3765/bls.v13i0.1834>, Givon (1995) <DOI:10.1075/z.74>, Croft (2000), Saffran (2001) <DOI:10.1111/1467-8721.01243>, Heine & Kuteva 2007), in which maximal psychological validity is aimed at (Grice (1975) <DOI:10.1057/9780230005853_5>, Levelt 1989, Gaerdenfors 2000) and language representation is usage based (Tomasello 2003, Bybee 2010). In Lestrade (2015b) <DOI:10.15496/publikation-8640>, Lestrade (2015c) <DOI:10.1075/avt.32.08les>, and Lestrade (2016) <DOI:10.17617/2.2248195>), which reported on the results of preliminary versions, this package was announced as WDWTW (for who does what to whom), but for reasons of pronunciation and generalization the title was changed.

This package provides a framework based on S3 dispatch for constructing models of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission which are constructed from submodels of various components (i.e. immature and adult mosquitoes, human populations). A consistent mathematical expression for the distribution of bites on hosts means that different models (stochastic, deterministic, etc.) can be coherently incorporated and updated over a discrete time step.

To perform main effect matrix factor model (MEFM) estimation for a given matrix time series as described in Lam and Cen (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.00128>. Estimation of traditional matrix factor models is also supported. Supplementary functions for testing MEFM over factor models are included.

An implementation of a taxonomy of models of restricted diffusion in biological tissues parametrized by the tissue geometry (axis, diameter, density, etc.). This is primarily used in the context of diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to model the MR signal attenuation in the presence of diffusion gradients. The goal is to provide tools to simulate the MR signal attenuation predicted by these models under different experimental conditions. The package feeds a companion shiny app available at <https://midi-pastrami.apps.math.cnrs.fr> that serves as a graphical interface to the models and tools provided by the package. Models currently available are the ones in Neuman (1974) <doi:10.1063/1.1680931>, Van Gelderen et al. (1994) <doi:10.1006/jmrb.1994.1038>, Stanisz et al. (1997) <doi:10.1002/mrm.1910370115>, Soderman & Jonsson (1995) <doi:10.1006/jmra.1995.0014> and Callaghan (1995) <doi:10.1006/jmra.1995.1055>.

Calculate the financial impact of using a churn model in terms of cost, revenue, profit and return on investment.

This package provides tools for calculating I-Scores, a simple way to measure how successful minor political parties are at influencing the major parties in their environment. I-Scores are designed to be a more comprehensive measurement of minor party success than vote share and legislative seats won, the current standard measurements, which do not reflect the strategies that most minor parties employ. The procedure leverages the Manifesto Project's NLP model to identify the issue areas that sentences discuss, see Burst et al. (2024) <doi:10.25522/manifesto.manifestoberta.56topics.context.2024.1.1>, and the Wordfish algorithm to estimate the relative positions that platforms take on those issue areas, see Slapin and Proksch (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-5907.2008.00338.x>.

This package provides functions for reading (tab, csv, Bruker fid, Ciphergen XML, mzXML, mzML, imzML, Analyze 7.5, CDF, mMass MSD) and writing (tab, csv, mMass MSD, mzML, imzML) different file formats of mass spectrometry data into/from MALDIquant objects.

This package provides the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test and its variations to check the existence of bubbles (explosive behavior) for time series, based on the article by Peter C. B. Phillips, Shuping Shi and Jun Yu (2015a) <doi:10.1111/iere.12131>. Some functions may take a while depending on the size of the data used, or the number of Monte Carlo replications applied.

Two novel matching-based methods for estimating group average treatment effects (GATEs). The match_y1y0() and match_y1y0_bc() functions are used for imputing the potential outcomes based on matching and bias-corrected matching techniques, respectively. The EstGATE() function is employed to estimate the GATE after imputing the potential outcomes.

This package provides functions to calculate Unique Trait Combinations (UTC) and scaled Unique Trait Combinations (sUTC) as measures of multivariate richness. The package can also calculate beta-diversity for trait richness and can partition this into nestedness-related and turnover components. The code will also calculate several measures of overlap. See Keyel and Wiegand (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12558> for more details.

This package provides a low-dependency implementation of GSIF::mpspline() <https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/R/mpspline.R?view=markup&revision=240&root=gsif>, which applies a mass-preserving spline to soil attributes. Splining soil data is a safe way to make continuous down-profile estimates of attributes measured over discrete, often discontinuous depth intervals.
