This package performs inference for Bayesian conditional logistic regression with informative priors built from the concordant pair data. We include many options to build the priors. And we include many options during the inference step for estimation, testing and confidence set creation. For details, see Kapelner and Tennenbaum (2026) "Improved Conditional Logistic Regression using Information in Concordant Pairs with Software" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.08212>.

Calculates the Boltzmann entropy of a landscape gradient. This package uses the analytical method created by Gao, P., Zhang, H. and Li, Z., 2018 (<doi:10.1111/tgis.12315>) and by Gao, P. and Li, Z., 2019 (<doi:10.1007/s10980-019-00854-3>). It also extend the original ideas by allowing calculations on data with missing values.

Fits Bayesian models (amongst others) to dissolution data sets that can be used for dissolution testing. The package was originally constructed to include only the Bayesian models outlined in Pourmohamad et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12535>. However, additional Bayesian and non-Bayesian models (based on bootstrapping and generalized pivotal quanties) have also been added. More models may be added over time.

This package implements fast, exact bootstrap Principal Component Analysis and Singular Value Decompositions for high dimensional data, as described in <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1062383> (see also <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1405.0922>). For data matrices that are too large to operate on in memory, users can input objects with class ff (see the ff package), where the actual data is stored on disk. In response, this package will implement a block matrix algebra procedure for calculating the principal components (PCs) and bootstrap PCs. Depending on options set by the user, the parallel package can be used to parallelize the calculation of the bootstrap PCs.

This package provides a collection of tools for regression analysis of non-negative data, including strictly positive and zero-inflated observations, based on the class of the Box-Cox symmetric (BCS) distributions and its zero-adjusted extension. The BCS distributions are a class of flexible probability models capable of describing different levels of skewness and tail-heaviness. The package offers a comprehensive regression modeling framework, including estimation and tools for evaluating goodness-of-fit.

Carry out Bayesian estimation and forecasting for a variety of stochastic mortality models using vague prior distributions. Models supported include numerous well-established approaches introduced in the actuarial and demographic literature, such as the Lee-Carter (1992) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475265>, the Cairns-Blake-Dowd (2009) <doi:10.1080/10920277.2009.10597538>, the Li-Lee (2005) <doi:10.1353/dem.2005.0021>, and the Plat (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.insmatheco.2009.08.006> models. The package is designed to analyse stratified mortality data structured as a 3-dimensional array of dimensions p à A à T (strata à age à year). Stratification can represent factors such as cause of death, country, deprivation level, sex, geographic region, insurance product, marital status, socioeconomic group, or smoking behavior. While the primary focus is on analysing stratified data (p > 1), the package can also handle mortality data that are not stratified (p = 1). Model selection via the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) is supported.

This package provides a Bayesian framework to estimate the Student's t-distribution's degrees of freedom is developed. Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling routines are developed as in <doi:10.3390/axioms11090462> to sample from the posterior distribution of the degrees of freedom. A random walk Metropolis algorithm is used for sampling when Jeffrey's and Gamma priors are endowed upon the degrees of freedom. In addition, the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm for sampling is used under the Jeffrey's prior specification. The Log-normal prior over the degrees of freedom is posed as a viable choice with comparable performance in simulations and real-data application, against other prior choices, where an Elliptical Slice Sampler is used to sample from the concerned posterior.

This package provides Partial least squares Regression and various regular, sparse or kernel, techniques for fitting Cox models for big data. Provides a Partial Least Squares (PLS) algorithm adapted to Cox proportional hazards models that works with bigmemory matrices without loading the entire dataset in memory. Also implements a gradient-descent based solver for Cox proportional hazards models that works directly on bigmemory matrices. Bertrand and Maumy (2023) <https://hal.science/hal-05352069>, and <https://hal.science/hal-05352061> highlighted fitting and cross-validating PLS-based Cox models to censored big data.

Functionality for reliability estimates. For unidimensional tests: Coefficient alpha, Guttman's lambda-2/-4/-6, the Greatest lower bound and coefficient omega_u ('unidimensional') in a Bayesian and a frequentist version. For multidimensional tests: omega_t (total) and omega_h (hierarchical). The results include confidence and credible intervals, the probability of a coefficient being larger than a cutoff, and a check for the factor models, necessary for the omega coefficients. The method for the Bayesian unidimensional estimates, except for omega_u, is sampling from the posterior inverse Wishart for the covariance matrix based measures (see Murphy', 2007, <https://groups.seas.harvard.edu/courses/cs281/papers/murphy-2007.pdf>. The Bayesian omegas (u, t, and h) are obtained by Gibbs sampling from the conditional posterior distributions of (1) the single factor model, (2) the second-order factor model, (3) the bi-factor model, (4) the correlated factor model ('Lee', 2007, <doi:10.1002/9780470024737>).

This package provides functions to compute pair-wise dissimilarities (distance matrices) and multiple-site dissimilarities, separating the turnover and nestedness-resultant components of taxonomic (incidence and abundance based), functional and phylogenetic beta diversity.

The package can also be used to generate confidence intervals for differences of standardized regression coefficients and as a general approach to performing the delta method. A description of the package and code examples are presented in Pesigan, Sun, and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2023.2201277>.
