Work with Microsoft Access .mdb and .accdb files using the open source MDB Tools library <https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/>. The library is compiled and bundled with the package, so no external installation is required. Provides high-level helpers for reading tables, exporting to CSV or JSON, inspecting table definitions, and running SQL queries. Also exposes a full read-only DBI interface for use with standard database workflows.

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.

This package performs Multiple Factor Analysis method for quantitative, categorical, frequency and mixed data, in addition to generating a lot of graphics, also has other useful functions.

Estimation and inference for multiple kink quantile regression for longitudinal data and the i.i.d data. A bootstrap restarting iterative segmented quantile algorithm is proposed to estimate the multiple kink quantile regression model conditional on a given number of change points. The number of kinks is also allowed to be unknown. In such case, the backward elimination algorithm and the bootstrap restarting iterative segmented quantile algorithm are combined to select the number of change points based on a quantile BIC. For longitudinal data, we also develop the GEE estimator to incorporate the within-subject correlations. A score-type based test statistic is also developed for testing the existence of kink effect. The package is based on the paper, ``Wei Zhong, Chuang Wan and Wenyang Zhang (2022). Estimation and inference for multikink quantile regression, JBES and ``Chuang Wan, Wei Zhong, Wenyang Zhang and Changliang Zou (2022). Multi-kink quantile regression for longitudinal data with application to progesterone data analysis, Biometrics".

Generate multivariate discrete data with generalized Poisson, negative binomial and binomial marginal distributions using user-specified distribution parameters and a target correlation matrix. The method is described in Cheng and Demirtas (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.07707>.

Energy-Vorticity theory (EVT) is the fundamental theory to describe processes in the atmosphere by combining conserved quantities from hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. The package meteoEVT provides functions to calculate many energetic and vortical quantities, like potential vorticity, Bernoulli function and dynamic state index (DSI) [e.g. Weber and Nevir, 2008, <doi:10.1111/j.1600-0870.2007.00272.x>], for given gridded data, like ERA5 reanalyses. These quantities can be studied directly or can be used for many applications in meteorology, e.g., the objective identification of atmospheric fronts. For this purpose, separate function are provided that allow the detection of fronts based on the thermic front parameter [Hewson, 1998, <doi:10.1017/S1350482798000553>], the F diagnostic [Parfitt et al., 2017, <doi:10.1002/2017GL073662>] and the DSI [Mack et al., 2022, <arXiv:2208.11438>].

Constructing matrices for quick prototyping can be a nuisance, requiring the user to think about how to fill the matrix with values using the matrix() function. The %<-% operator solves that issue by allowing the user to construct matrices using code that shows the actual matrices.

This package provides a custom imputation method for the mice package based on distributional random forests. The package implements the mice.impute.DRF method, which can be used within the standard mice workflow. Missing values are imputed by estimating conditional distributions with distributional random forests and sampling observed responses using forest weights.

Flexible time classes for time series analysis and forecasting with mixed temporal granularities. Supports linear and cyclical time representations in discrete and continuous forms, with timezone support, across multiple calendar systems including Gregorian and ISO week date calendars. Time points are stored numerically relative to a chronon; an atomic time granule defined by time units of a calendar. Calendrical arithmetic enables conversion between time granules (e.g. days to months) and calendar systems. Multi-unit arithmetic allows for temporal analysis with other granules of common calendars (e.g. fortnights are 2-week units). Time vectors of different granularities (e.g. monthly and quarterly) can be combined in a single vector, making mixtime ideal for data that changes observation frequency over time or requires temporal reconciliation across scales. The package is extensible, allowing users to define custom calendars that build upon civil and astronomical time systems.

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.

This package performs Modal Clustering (MAC) including Hierarchical Modal Clustering (HMAC) along with their parallel implementation (PHMAC) over several processors. These model-based non-parametric clustering techniques can extract clusters in very high dimensions with arbitrary density shapes. By default clustering is performed over several resolutions and the results are summarised as a hierarchical tree. Associated plot functions are also provided. There is a package vignette that provides many examples. This version adheres to CRAN policy of not spanning more than two child processes by default.

Framework to facilitate patient subtyping with similarity network fusion and meta clustering. The similarity network fusion (SNF) algorithm was introduced by Wang et al. (2014) in <doi:10.1038/nmeth.2810>. SNF is a data integration approach that can transform high-dimensional and diverse data types into a single similarity network suitable for clustering with minimal loss of information from each initial data source. The meta clustering approach was introduced by Caruana et al. (2006) in <doi:10.1109/ICDM.2006.103>. Meta clustering involves generating a wide range of cluster solutions by adjusting clustering hyperparameters, then clustering the solutions themselves into a manageable number of qualitatively similar solutions, and finally characterizing representative solutions to find ones that are best for the user's specific context. This package provides a framework to easily transform multi-modal data into a wide range of similarity network fusion-derived cluster solutions as well as to visualize, characterize, and validate those solutions. Core package functionality includes easy customization of distance metrics, clustering algorithms, and SNF hyperparameters to generate diverse clustering solutions; calculation and plotting of associations between features, between patients, and between cluster solutions; and standard cluster validation approaches including resampled measures of cluster stability, standard metrics of cluster quality, and label propagation to evaluate generalizability in unseen data. Associated vignettes guide the user through using the package to identify patient subtypes while adhering to best practices for unsupervised learning.

Scalable Bayesian clustering of categorical datasets. The package implements a hierarchical Dirichlet (Process) mixture of multinomial distributions. It is thus a probabilistic latent class model (LCM) and can be used to reduce the dimensionality of hierarchical data and cluster individuals into latent classes. It can automatically infer an appropriate number of latent classes or find k classes, as defined by the user. The model is based on a paper by Dunson and Xing (2009) <doi:10.1198/jasa.2009.tm08439>, but implements a scalable variational inference algorithm so that it is applicable to large datasets. It is described and tested in the accompanying paper by Ahlmann-Eltze and Yau (2018) <doi:10.1109/DSAA.2018.00068>.
