Data-driven approach for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) that uses Model Implied Instrumental Variables (MIIVs). The method starts with a one factor model and arrives at a suggested model with enhanced interpretability that allows cross-loadings and correlated errors.

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.

Multivariate Information-based Inductive Causation, better known by its acronym MIIC, is a causal discovery method, based on information theory principles, which learns a large class of causal or non-causal graphical models from purely observational data, while including the effects of unobserved latent variables. Starting from a complete graph, the method iteratively removes dispensable edges, by uncovering significant information contributions from indirect paths, and assesses edge-specific confidences from randomization of available data. The remaining edges are then oriented based on the signature of causality in observational data. The recent more interpretable MIIC extension (iMIIC) further distinguishes genuine causes from putative and latent causal effects, while scaling to very large datasets (hundreds of thousands of samples). Since the version 2.0, MIIC also includes a temporal mode (tMIIC) to learn temporal causal graphs from stationary time series data. MIIC has been applied to a wide range of biological and biomedical data, such as single cell gene expression data, genomic alterations in tumors, live-cell time-lapse imaging data (CausalXtract), as well as medical records of patients. MIIC brings unique insights based on causal interpretation and could be used in a broad range of other data science domains (technology, climatology, economy, ...).

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.

Generalized Egger tests for detecting publication bias in meta-analysis for diagnostic accuracy test (Noma (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13343>, Noma (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.07270>). These publication bias tests are generally more powerful compared with the conventional univariate publication bias tests and can incorporate correlation information between the outcome variables.

This package provides methods for maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation for the Wishart mixture model and the mixture-of-experts Wishart (MoE-Wishart) model. The package provides four inference algorithms for these models, each implemented using the expectationâ maximization (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation and a fully Bayesian approach via Gibbs-within-Metropolisâ Hastings sampling.

Transferring over a code base from Matlab to R is often a repetitive and inefficient use of time. This package provides a translator for Matlab / Octave code into R code. It does some syntax changes, but most of the heavy lifting is in the function changes since the languages are so similar. Options for different data structures and the functions that can be changed are given. The Matlab code should be mostly in adherence to the standard style guide but some effort has been made to accommodate different number of spaces and other small syntax issues. This will not make the code more R friendly and may not even run afterwards. However, the rudimentary syntax, base function and data structure conversion is done quickly so that the maintainer can focus on changes to the design structure.

Wraps the Material UI React components <https://mui.com/> for use in R, shiny applications and quarto documents, including inputs, layouts, navigation, and surfaces. All inputs come with R usage examples.

This is an add-on package to the monobin package that simplifies its use. It provides shiny-based user interface (UI) that is especially handy for less experienced R users as well as for those who intend to perform quick scanning of numeric risk factors when building credit rating models. The additional functions implemented in monobinShiny that do no exist in monobin package are: descriptive statistics, special case and outliers imputation. The function descriptive statistics is exported and can be used in R sessions independently from the user interface, while special case and outlier imputation functions are written to be used with shiny UI.

Metadynamics is a state of the art biomolecular simulation technique. Plumed Tribello, G.A. et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2013.09.018> program makes it possible to perform metadynamics using various simulation codes. The results of metadynamics done in Plumed can be analyzed by metadynminer'. The package metadynminer reads 1D and 2D metadynamics hills files from Plumed package. As an addendum, metadynaminer3d is used to visualize 3D hills. It uses a fast algorithm by Hosek, P. and Spiwok, V. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2015.08.037> to calculate a free energy surface from hills. Minima can be located and plotted on the free energy surface. Free energy surfaces and minima can be plotted to produce publication quality images.

This package provides a comprehensive range of facilities to perform umbrella reviews with stratification of the evidence in R. The package accomplishes this aim by building on three core functions that: (i) automatically perform all required calculations in an umbrella review (including but not limited to meta-analyses), (ii) stratify evidence according to various classification criteria, and (iii) generate a visual representation of the results. Note that if you are not familiar with R, the core features of this package are available from a web browser (<https://www.metaumbrella.org/>).

This package implements modern resampling and permutation methods for robust statistical inference without restrictive parametric assumptions.

Methods handle non-normal data, heteroscedasticity, time series correlation, and multiple comparisons.

This package contains functions for data analysis of Repeated measurement using GEE. Data may contain missing value in response and covariates. For parameter estimation through Fisher Scoring algorithm, Mean Score and Inverse Probability Weighted method combining with Multiple Imputation are used when there is missing value in covariates/response. Reference for mean score method, inverse probability weighted method is Wang et al(2007)<doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxl024>.

Estimates random effect latent measurement models, wherein the loadings, residual variances, intercepts, latent means, and latent variances all vary across groups. The random effect variances of the measurement parameters are then modeled using a hierarchical inclusion model, wherein the inclusion of the variances (i.e., whether it is effectively zero or non-zero) is informed by similar parameters (of the same type, or of the same item). This additional hierarchical structure allows the evidence in favor of partial invariance to accumulate more quickly, and yields more certain decisions about measurement invariance.
