An implementation of modified maximum contrast methods (Sato et al. (2009) <doi:10.1038/tpj.2008.17>; Nagashima et al. (2011) <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1560>) and the maximum contrast method (Yoshimura et al. (1997) <doi:10.1177/009286159703100213>): Functions mmcm.mvt() and mcm.mvt() give P-value by using randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method with pmvt() function of package mvtnorm', and mmcm.resamp() gives P-value by using a permutation method.

Classify missing data as missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR), or missing not at random (MNAR). This step is required before handling missing data (e.g. mean imputation) so that bias is not introduced. See Little (1988) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478722> for the statistical rationale for the methods used.

This package provides a single function plotting Marradi's trees: a graphical representation of a numerical variable for comparing the variable mean and standard deviation across subgroups. See A. Marradi "L'analisi monovariata" (1993, ISBN: 9788820496876).

According to a phenomenon known as "the wisdom of the crowds," combining point estimates from multiple judges often provides a more accurate aggregate estimate than using a point estimate from a single judge. However, if the judges use shared information in their estimates, the simple average will over-emphasize this common component at the expense of the judgesâ private information. Asa Palley & Ville Satopää (2021) "Boosting the Wisdom of Crowds Within a Single Judgment Problem: Selective Averaging Based on Peer Predictions" <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=3504286> proposes a procedure for calculating a weighted average of the judgesâ individual estimates such that resulting aggregate estimate appropriately combines the judges collective information within a single estimation problem. The authors use both simulation and data from six experimental studies to illustrate that the weighting procedure outperforms existing averaging-like methods, such as the equally weighted average, trimmed average, and median. This aggregate estimate -- know as "the knowledge-weighted estimate" -- inputs a) judges estimates of a continuous outcome (E) and b) predictions of others average estimate of this outcome (P). In this R-package, the function knowledge_weighted_estimate(E,P) implements the knowledge-weighted estimate. Its use is illustrated with a simple stylized example and on real-world experimental data.

Estimates average treatment effects using model average double robust (MA-DR) estimation. The MA-DR estimator is defined as weighted average of double robust estimators, where each double robust estimator corresponds to a specific choice of the outcome model and the propensity score model. The MA-DR estimator extend the desirable double robustness property by achieving consistency under the much weaker assumption that either the true propensity score model or the true outcome model be within a specified, possibly large, class of models.

Early insights in probability theory were largely influenced by questions about gambling and games of chance, as noted by Blitzstein and Hwang (2019, ISBN:978-1138369917). In modern times, playing cards continue to serve as an effective teaching tool for probability, statistics, and even R programming, as demonstrated by Grolemund (2014, ISBN:978-1449359010). The mmcards package offers a collection of utility functions designed to aid in the creation, manipulation, and utilization of playing card decks in multiple formats. These include a standard 52-card deck, as well as alternative decks such as decks defined by custom anonymous functions and custom interleaved decks. Optimized for the development of educational shiny applications, the package is particularly useful for teaching statistics and probability through card-based games. Functions include shuffle_deck(), which creates either a shuffled standard deck or a shuffled custom alternative deck; deal_card(), which takes a deck and returns a list object containing both the dealt card and the updated deck; and i_deck(), which adds image paths to card objects, further enriching the package's utility in the development of interactive shiny application card games.

Calculates the expected/observed Fisher information and the bias-corrected maximum likelihood estimate(s) via Cox-Snell Methodology.

This package provides a data generator of multivariate non-normal data in R. It combines two different methods to generate non-normal data, one with user-specified multivariate skewness and kurtosis (more details can be found in the paper: Qu, Liu, & Zhang, 2019 <doi:10.3758/s13428-019-01291-5>), and the other with the given marginal skewness and kurtosis. The latter one is the widely-used Vale and Maurelli's method. It also contains a function to calculate univariate and multivariate (Mardia's Test) skew and kurtosis.

You can apply image processing effects that modifies the perceived material properties of objects in photos, such as gloss, smoothness, and blemishes. This is an implementation of the algorithm proposed by Boyadzhiev et al. (2015) "Band-Sifting Decomposition for Image Based Material Editing". Documentation and practical tips of the package is available at <https://github.com/tsuda16k/materialmodifier>.

This package provides helper functions, metadata utilities, and workflows for administering and managing databases on the Motherduck cloud platform. Some features require a Motherduck account (<https://motherduck.com/>).

With foundations on the work by Goutali and Chebana (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2024.106090>, this package contains various univariate and multivariate trend tests. The main functions regard the Multivariate Dependence Trend and Multivariate Overall Trend tests as proposed by Goutali and Chebana (2024), as well as a plotting function that proves useful as a summary and complement of the tests. Although many packages and methods carry univariate tests, the Mann-Kendall and Spearman's rho test implementations are included in the package with an adapted version to hydrological formulation (e.g. as in Rao and Hamed 1998 <doi:10.1016/S0022-1694(97)00125-X> or Chebana 2022 <doi:10.1016/C2021-0-01317-1>). For better understanding of the example use of the functions, three datasets are included. These are synthetic data and shouldn't be used beyond that purpose.

In the case of multivariate ordinal responses, parameter estimates can be severely biased if personal response styles are ignored. This packages provides methods to account for personal response styles and to explain the effects of covariates on the response style, as proposed by Schauberger and Tutz 2021 <doi:10.1177/1471082X20978034>. The method is implemented both for the multivariate cumulative model and the multivariate adjacent categories model.

Mixed, low-rank, and sparse multivariate regression ('mixedLSR') provides tools for performing mixture regression when the coefficient matrix is low-rank and sparse. mixedLSR allows subgroup identification by alternating optimization with simulated annealing to encourage global optimum convergence. This method is data-adaptive, automatically performing parameter selection to identify low-rank substructures in the coefficient matrix.

Estimates exponential-family random graph models for multilevel network data, assuming the multilevel structure is observed. The scope, at present, covers multilevel models where the set of nodes is nested within known blocks. The estimation method uses Monte-Carlo maximum likelihood estimation (MCMLE) methods to estimate a variety of canonical or curved exponential family models for binary random graphs. MCMLE methods for curved exponential-family random graph models can be found in Hunter and Handcock (JCGS, 2006). The package supports parallel computing, and provides methods for assessing goodness-of-fit of models and visualization of networks.

This package provides a Shiny application to estimate the sample size required for a metabolomic experiment to achieve a desired statistical power. Estimation is possible with or without available data from a pilot study.
