Fast design of risk parity portfolios for financial investment. The goal of the risk parity portfolio formulation is to equalize or distribute the risk contributions of the different assets, which is missing if we simply consider the overall volatility of the portfolio as in the mean-variance Markowitz portfolio. In addition to the vanilla formulation, where the risk contributions are perfectly equalized subject to no shortselling and budget constraints, many other formulations are considered that allow for box constraints and shortselling, as well as the inclusion of additional objectives like the expected return and overall variance. See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the papers: Y. Feng, and D. P. Palomar (2015).

Rolling Window Multiple Correlation ('RolWinMulCor') estimates the rolling (running) window correlation for the bi- and multi-variate cases between regular (sampled on identical time points) time series, with especial emphasis to ecological data although this can be applied to other kinds of data sets. RolWinMulCor is based on the concept of rolling, running or sliding window and is useful to evaluate the evolution of correlation through time and time-scales. RolWinMulCor contains six functions. The first two focus on the bi-variate case: (1) rolwincor_1win() and (2) rolwincor_heatmap(), which estimate the correlation coefficients and the their respective p-values for only one window-length (time-scale) and considering all possible window-lengths or a band of window-lengths, respectively. The second two functions: (3) rolwinmulcor_1win() and (4) rolwinmulcor_heatmap() are designed to analyze the multi-variate case, following the bi-variate case to visually display the results, but these two approaches are methodologically different. That is, the multi-variate case estimates the adjusted coefficients of determination instead of the correlation coefficients. The last two functions: (5) plot_1win() and (6) plot_heatmap() are used to represent graphically the outputs of the four aforementioned functions as simple plots or as heat maps. The functions contained in RolWinMulCor are highly flexible since these contains several parameters to control the estimation of correlation and the features of the plot output, e.g. to remove the (linear) trend contained in the time series under analysis, to choose different p-value correction methods (which are used to address the multiple comparison problem) or to personalise the plot outputs. The RolWinMulCor package also provides examples with synthetic and real-life ecological time series to exemplify its use. Methods derived from H. Abdi.

This package provides a comprehensive suite of functions to perform and visualise pairwise and network meta-analysis with aggregate binary or continuous missing participant outcome data. The package covers core Bayesian one-stage models implemented in a systematic review with multiple interventions, including fixed-effect and random-effects network meta-analysis, meta-regression, evaluation of the consistency assumption via the node-splitting approach and the unrelated mean effects model (original and revised model proposed by Spineli, (2022) <doi:10.1177/0272989X211068005>), and sensitivity analysis (see Spineli et al., (2021) <doi:10.1186/s12916-021-02195-y>). Missing participant outcome data are addressed in all models of the package (see Spineli, (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12874-019-0731-y>, Spineli et al., (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8207>, Spineli, (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jclinepi.2018.09.002>, and Spineli et al., (2021) <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1478>). The robustness to primary analysis results can also be investigated using a novel intuitive index (see Spineli et al., (2021) <doi:10.1177/0962280220983544>). Methods to evaluate the transitivity assumption using trial dissimilarities and hierarchical clustering are provided (see Spineli, (2024) <doi:10.1186/s12874-024-02436-7>, and Spineli et al., (2025) <doi:10.1002/sim.70068>). A novel index to facilitate interpretation of local inconsistency is also available (see Spineli, (2024) <doi:10.1186/s13643-024-02680-4>) The package also offers a rich, user-friendly visualisation toolkit that aids in appraising and interpreting the results thoroughly and preparing the manuscript for journal submission. The visualisation tools comprise the network plot, forest plots, panel of diagnostic plots, heatmaps on the extent of missing participant outcome data in the network, league heatmaps on estimation and prediction, rankograms, Bland-Altman plot, leverage plot, deviance scatterplot, heatmap of robustness, barplot of Kullback-Leibler divergence, heatmap of comparison dissimilarities and dendrogram of comparison clustering. The package also allows the user to export the results to an Excel file at the working directory.

This package implements the rank-ordered logit (RO-logit) model for stratified analysis of continuous outcomes introduced by Tan et al. (2017) <doi:10.1177/0962280217747309>. Model diagnostics based on the heuristic residuals and estimates in linear scales are available from the package, and outcomes with ties are supported.

*The package is deprecated. It uses the standard drivers on R >= 4.6.0 since they incorporate all the functionalities below.* Weave and tangle drivers for Sweave extending the standard drivers. RweaveExtraLatex and RtangleExtra provide options to completely ignore code chunks on weaving, tangling, or both. Chunks ignored on weaving are not parsed, yet are written out verbatim on tangling. Chunks ignored on tangling may be evaluated as usual on weaving, but are completely left out of the tangled scripts. The driver RtangleExtra also provides options to control the separation between code chunks in the tangled script, and to specify the extension of the file name (or remove it entirely) when splitting is selected.

This package provides a tool for multiply imputing missing data using MIDAS', a deep learning method based on denoising autoencoder neural networks (see Lall and Robinson, 2022; <doi:10.1017/pan.2020.49>). This algorithm offers significant accuracy and efficiency advantages over other multiple imputation strategies, particularly when applied to large datasets with complex features. Alongside interfacing with Python to run the core algorithm, this package contains functions for processing data before and after model training, running imputation model diagnostics, generating multiple completed datasets, and estimating regression models on these datasets. For more information see Lall and Robinson (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v107.i09>. This package is deprecated in favor of rMIDAS2'; it remains available for existing workflows but will receive only compatibility and documentation updates.
