This package provides a set of tools for determining the necessary sample size in order to identify the optimal dynamic treatment regime in a sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (SMART). Utilizes multiple comparisons with the best methodology to adjust for multiple comparisons. Designed for an arbitrary SMART design. Please see Artman (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy064> for more details.

This package performs hybrid multi-stage factor analytic procedure for controlling acquiescence in restricted solutions (Ferrando & Lorenzo-Seva, 2000 <https://www.uv.es/revispsi/articulos3.00/ferran7.pdf>).

In ecology, spatial data is often represented using polygons. These polygons can represent a variety of spatial entities, such as ecological patches, animal home ranges, or gaps in the forest canopy. Researchers often need to determine if two spatial processes, represented by these polygons, are independent of each other. For instance, they might want to test if the home range of a particular animal species is influenced by the presence of a certain type of vegetation. To address this, Godoy et al. (2022) (<doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2022.100695>) developed conditional Monte Carlo tests. These tests are designed to assess spatial independence while taking into account the shape and size of the polygons.

This package provides a set of functions to build a scoring model from beginning to end, leading the user to follow an efficient and organized development process, reducing significantly the time spent on data exploration, variable selection, feature engineering, binning and model selection among other recurrent tasks. The package also incorporates monotonic and customized binning, scaling capabilities that transforms logistic coefficients into points for a better business understanding and calculates and visualizes classic performance metrics of a classification model.

This package provides a process-oriented and trajectory-based Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) package for R. It is designed as a generic yet powerful framework. The architecture encloses a robust and fast simulation core written in C++ with automatic monitoring capabilities. It provides a rich and flexible R API that revolves around the concept of trajectory, a common path in the simulation model for entities of the same type. Documentation about simmer is provided by several vignettes included in this package, via the paper by Ucar, Smeets & Azcorra (2019, <doi:10.18637/jss.v090.i02>), and the paper by Ucar, Hernández, Serrano & Azcorra (2018, <doi:10.1109/MCOM.2018.1700960>); see citation("simmer") for details.

This package provides an easy-to-use module for adding a chat to a Shiny app. Allows users to send messages and view messages from other users. Messages can be stored in a database or a .rds file.

Calculates a Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-squared difference test between nested models that were estimated using maximum likelihood (ML) with robust standard errors, which cannot be calculated the traditional way. For details see Satorra & Bentler (2001) <doi:10.1007/bf02296192> and Satorra & Bentler (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9135-y>. This package may be particularly helpful when used in conjunction with Mplus software, specifically when implementing the complex survey option. In such cases, the model estimator in Mplus defaults to ML with robust standard errors.

Support for reading/writing simple feature ('sf') spatial objects from/to Parquet files. Parquet files are an open-source, column-oriented data storage format from Apache (<https://parquet.apache.org/>), now popular across programming languages. This implementation converts simple feature list geometries into well-known binary format for use by arrow', and coordinate reference system information is maintained in a standard metadata format.

This package implements a sequential imputation framework using Bayesian Mixed-Effects Trees ('SBMTrees') for handling missing data in longitudinal studies. The package supports a variety of models, including non-linear relationships and non-normal random effects and residuals, leveraging Dirichlet Process priors for increased flexibility. Key features include handling Missing at Random (MAR) longitudinal data, imputation of both covariates and outcomes, and generating posterior predictive samples for further analysis. The methodology is designed for applications in epidemiology, biostatistics, and other fields requiring robust handling of missing data in longitudinal settings.

Uses parametric and nonparametric methods to quantify the proportion of the estimated selection bias (SB) explained by each observed confounder when estimating propensity score weighted treatment effects. Parast, L and Griffin, BA (2020). "Quantifying the Bias due to Observed Individual Confounders in Causal Treatment Effect Estimates". Statistics in Medicine, 39(18): 2447- 2476 <doi: 10.1002/sim.8549>.

Estimate the four parameters of stable laws using maximum likelihood method, generalised method of moments with finite and continuum number of points, iterative Koutrouvelis regression and Kogon-McCulloch method. The asymptotic properties of the estimators (covariance matrix, confidence intervals) are also provided.

The cartogram heatmaps generated by the included methods are an alternative to choropleth maps for the United States and are based on work by the Washington Post graphics department in their report on "The states most threatened by trade" (<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/business/states-most-threatened-by-trade/>). "State bins" preserve as much of the geographic placement of the states as possible but have the look and feel of a traditional heatmap. Functions are provided that allow for use of a binned, discrete scale, a continuous scale or manually specified colors depending on what is needed for the underlying data.

Hail is an open-source, general-purpose, python based data analysis tool with additional data types and methods for working with genomic data, see <https://hail.is/>. Hail is built to scale and has first-class support for multi-dimensional structured data, like the genomic data in a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Hail is exposed as a python library, using primitives for distributed queries and linear algebra implemented in scala', spark', and increasingly C++'. The sparkhail is an R extension using sparklyr package. The idea is to help R users to use hail functionalities with the well-know tidyverse syntax, see <https://www.tidyverse.org/>.

This package provides a collection of various oversampling techniques developed from SMOTE is provided. SMOTE is a oversampling technique which synthesizes a new minority instance between a pair of one minority instance and one of its K nearest neighbor. Other techniques adopt this concept with other criteria in order to generate balanced dataset for class imbalance problem.
