Currently incorporate the generalized odds-rate model (a type of linear transformation model) for interval-censored data based on penalized monotonic B-Spline. More methods under other semiparametric models such as cure model or additive model will be included in future versions. For more details see Lu, M., Liu, Y., Li, C. and Sun, J. (2019) <arXiv:1912.11703>.

This package provides data set and function for exploration of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2017-18 data for Punjab, Pakistan. The results of the present survey are critically important for the purposes of SDG monitoring, as the survey produces information on 32 global SDG indicators. The data was collected from 53,840 households selected at the second stage with systematic random sampling out of a sample of 2,692 clusters selected using Probability Proportional to size sampling. Six questionnaires were used in the survey: (1) a household questionnaire to collect basic demographic information on all de jure household members (usual residents), the household, and the dwelling; (2) a water quality testing questionnaire administered in three households in each cluster of the sample; (3) a questionnaire for individual women administered in each household to all women age 15-49 years; (4) a questionnaire for individual men administered in every second household to all men age 15-49 years; (5) an under-5 questionnaire, administered to mothers (or caretakers) of all children under 5 living in the household; and (6) a questionnaire for children age 5-17 years, administered to the mother (or caretaker) of one randomly selected child age 5-17 years living in the household.

Use Pokemon(R) inspired palettes with additional ggplot2 scales. Palettes are the colours in each Pokemon's sprite, ordered by how common they are in the image. The first 386 Pokemon are currently provided.

Estimate specification models for the state-dependent level of an optimal quantile/expectile forecast. Wald Tests and the test of overidentifying restrictions are implemented. Plotting of the estimated specification model is possible. The package contains two data sets with forecasts and realizations: the daily accumulated precipitation at London, UK from the high-resolution model of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF, <https://www.ecmwf.int/>) and GDP growth Greenbook data by the US Federal Reserve. See Schmidt, Katzfuss and Gneiting (2015) <arXiv:1506.01917> for more details on the identification and estimation of a directive behind a point forecast.

Latent class analysis and latent class regression models for polytomous outcome variables. Also known as latent structure analysis.

Application of the Partitioning-Around-Medoids (PAM) clustering algorithm described in Schubert, E. and Rousseeuw, P.J.: "Fast and eager k-medoids clustering: O(k) runtime improvement of the PAM, CLARA, and CLARANS algorithms." Information Systems, vol. 101, p. 101804, (2021). <doi:10.1016/j.is.2021.101804>. It uses a binary format for storing and retrieval of matrices developed for the jmatrix package but the functionality of jmatrix is included here, so you do not need to install it. Also, it is used by package scellpam', so if you have installed it, you do not need to install this package. PAM can be applied to sets of data whose dissimilarity matrix can be very big. It has been tested with up to 100.000 points. It does this with the help of the code developed for other package, jmatrix', which allows the matrix not to be loaded in R memory (which would force it to be of double type) but it gets from disk, which allows using float (or even smaller data types). Moreover, the dissimilarity matrix is calculated in parallel if the computer has several cores so it can open many threads. The initial part of the PAM algorithm can be done with the BUILD or LAB algorithms; the BUILD algorithm has been implemented in parallel. The optimization phase implements the FastPAM1 algorithm, also in parallel. Finally, calculation of silhouette is available and also implemented in parallel.

An implementation of Horn's technique for numerically and graphically evaluating the components or factors retained in a principle components analysis (PCA) or common factor analysis (FA). Horn's method contrasts eigenvalues produced through a PCA or FA on a number of random data sets of uncorrelated variables with the same number of variables and observations as the experimental or observational data set to produce eigenvalues for components or factors that are adjusted for the sample error-induced inflation. Components with adjusted eigenvalues greater than one are retained. paran may also be used to conduct parallel analysis following Glorfeld's (1995) suggestions to reduce the likelihood of over-retention.

Survey sampling using permanent random numbers (PRN's). A solution to the problem of unknown overlap between survey samples, which leads to a low precision in estimates when the survey is repeated or combined with other surveys. The PRN solution is to supply the U(0, 1) random numbers to the sampling procedure, instead of having the sampling procedure generate them. In Lindblom (2014) <doi:10.2478/jos-2014-0047>, and therein cited papers, it is shown how this is carried out and how it improves the estimates. This package supports two common fixed-size sampling procedures (simple random sampling and probability-proportional-to-size sampling) and includes a function for transforming the PRN's in order to control the sample overlap.

Item response theory based methods are used to compute linking constants and conduct chain linking of unidimensional or multidimensional tests for multiple groups under a common item design. The unidimensional methods include the Mean/Mean, Mean/Sigma, Haebara, and Stocking-Lord methods for dichotomous (1PL, 2PL and 3PL) and/or polytomous (graded response, partial credit/generalized partial credit, nominal, and multiple-choice model) items. The multidimensional methods include the least squares method and extensions of the Haebara and Stocking-Lord method using single or multiple dilation parameters for multidimensional extensions of all the unidimensional dichotomous and polytomous item response models. The package also includes functions for importing item and/or ability parameters from common IRT software, conducting IRT true score and observed score equating, and plotting item response curves/surfaces, vector plots, information plots, and comparison plots for examining parameter drift.

This package provides a bunch of convenience functions that transform the results of some basic statistical analyses into table format nearly ready for publication. This includes descriptive tables, tables of logistic regression and Cox regression results as well as forest plots.

Computational infrastructure for biogeography, community ecology, and biodiversity conservation (Daru et al. 2020) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13478>. It is based on the methods described in Daru et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41467-020-15921-6>. The original conceptual work is described in Daru et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.tree.2017.08.013> on patterns and processes of biogeographical regionalization. Additionally, the package contains fast and efficient functions to compute more standard conservation measures such as phylogenetic diversity, phylogenetic endemism, evolutionary distinctiveness and global endangerment, as well as compositional turnover (e.g., beta diversity).

This package provides a nonparametric, multicore-capable plausible naive Bayes classifier based on the Pareto density estimation (PDE) featuring a plausible approach to a pitfall in the Bayesian theorem covering low evidence cases. Stier, Q., Hoffmann, J., and Thrun, M.C.: "Classifying with the Fine Structure of Distributions: Leveraging Distributional Information for Robust and Plausible Naive Bayes" (2026), Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction (MAKE), <DOI:10.3390/make8010013>.

Fit a probabilistic index model as described in Thas et al, 2012: <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2011.01020.x>. The interface to the modeling function has changed in this new version. The old version is still available at R-Forge.

Power logit regression models for bounded continuous data, in which the density generator may be normal, Student-t, power exponential, slash, hyperbolic, sinh-normal, or type II logistic. Diagnostic tools associated with the fitted model, such as the residuals, local influence measures, leverage measures, and goodness-of-fit statistics, are implemented. The estimation process follows the maximum likelihood approach and, currently, the package supports two types of estimators: the usual maximum likelihood estimator and the penalized maximum likelihood estimator. More details about power logit regression models are described in Queiroz and Ferrari (2022) <arXiv:2202.01697>.

This package implements the Single Transferable Vote (STV) electoral system, with clear explanatory graphics. The core function stv() uses Meek's method, the purest expression of the simple principles of STV, but which requires electronic counting. It can handle votes expressing equal preferences for subsets of the candidates. A function stv.wig() implementing the Weighted Inclusive Gregory method, as used in Scottish council elections, is also provided, and with the same options, as described in the manual. The required vote data format is as an R list: a function pref.data() is provided to transform some commonly used data formats into this format.

Visualizes a matrix object plainly as heatmap. It provides S3 functions to plot simple matrices and loading matrices.

Plot both fixed and random effects of linear mixed models, multilevel models in a single spaghetti plot. The package allows to visualize the effect of a predictor on a criterion between different levels of a grouping variable. Additionally, confidence intervals can be displayed for fixed effects. Calculation of predicted values of random effects allows only models with one random intercept and/or one random slope to be plotted. Confidence intervals and predicted values of fixed effects are computed using the ggpredict function from the ggeffects package. Lüdecke, D. (2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00638>.

Most of the time floating point arithmetic does approximately the right thing. When adding sums or having products of numbers that greatly differ in magnitude, the floating point arithmetic may be incorrect. This package implements the Kahan (1965) sum <doi:10.1145/363707.363723>, Neumaier (1974) sum <doi:10.1002/zamm.19740540106>, pairwise-sum (adapted from NumPy', See Castaldo (2008) <doi:10.1137/070679946> for a discussion of accuracy), and arbitrary precision sum (adapted from the fsum in Python ; Shewchuk (1997) <https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/papers/robustr.pdf>). In addition, products are changed to long double precision for accuracy, or changed into a log-sum for accuracy.
