Transforms or simulates data with a target empirical covariance matrix supplied by the user. The method to obtain the data with the target empirical covariance matrix is described in Section 5.1 of Christidis, Van Aelst and Zamar (2019) <arXiv:1812.05678>.

This package implements stacked elastic net regression (Rauschenberger 2021 <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa535>). The elastic net generalises ridge and lasso regularisation (Zou 2005 <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>). Instead of fixing or tuning the mixing parameter alpha, we combine multiple alpha by stacked generalisation (Wolpert 1992 <doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1>).

We provide full functionality to smooth L1 penalized regression operators and to compute regression estimates thereof. For this, the objective function of a user-specified regression operator is first smoothed using Nesterov smoothing (see Y. Nesterov (2005) <doi:10.1007/s10107-004-0552-5>), resulting in a modified objective function with explicit gradients everywhere. The smoothed objective function and its gradient are minimized via BFGS, and the obtained minimizer is returned. Using Nesterov smoothing, the smoothed objective function can be made arbitrarily close to the original (unsmoothed) one. In particular, the Nesterov approach has the advantage that it comes with explicit accuracy bounds, both on the L1/L2 difference of the unsmoothed to the smoothed objective functions as well as on their respective minimizers (see G. Hahn, S.M. Lutz, N. Laha, C. Lange (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.09.17.301788>). A progressive smoothing approach is provided which iteratively smoothes the objective function, resulting in more stable regression estimates. A function to perform cross validation for selection of the regularization parameter is provided.

Allow to identify motifs in spatial-time series. A motif is a previously unknown subsequence of a (spatial) time series with relevant number of occurrences. For this purpose, the Combined Series Approach (CSA) is used.

Build a constrained high quality Delaunay triangulation from simple features objects, applying constraints based on input line segments, and triangle properties including maximum area, minimum internal angle. The triangulation code in RTriangle uses the method of Cheng, Dey and Shewchuk (2012, ISBN:9781584887300). For a low-dependency alternative with low-quality path-based constrained triangulation see <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=decido> and for high-quality configurable triangulation see <https://github.com/hypertidy/anglr>. Also consider comparison with the GEOS lib which since version 3.10.0 includes a low quality polygon triangulation method that starts with ear clipping and refines to Delaunay.

Efficient framework to estimate high-dimensional generalized matrix factorization models using penalized maximum likelihood under a dispersion exponential family specification. Either deterministic and stochastic methods are implemented for the numerical maximization. In particular, the package implements the stochastic gradient descent algorithm with a block-wise mini-batch strategy to speed up the computations and an efficient adaptive learning rate schedule to stabilize the convergence. All the theoretical details can be found in Castiglione et al. (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2412.20509>). Other methods considered for the optimization are the alternated iterative re-weighted least squares and the quasi-Newton method with diagonal approximation of the Fisher information matrix discussed in Kidzinski et al. (2022, <http://jmlr.org/papers/v23/20-1104.html>).

Maximum likelihood estimation for stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) of production (profit) and cost functions. The package includes the basic stochastic frontier for cross-sectional or pooled data with several distributions for the one-sided error term (i.e., Rayleigh, gamma, Weibull, lognormal, uniform, generalized exponential and truncated skewed Laplace), the latent class stochastic frontier model (LCM) as described in Dakpo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/1477-9552.12422>, for cross-sectional and pooled data, and the sample selection model as described in Greene (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11123-009-0159-1>, and applied in Dakpo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/agec.12683>. Several possibilities in terms of optimization algorithms are proposed.

This package provides a collection of functions that enable easy access and updating of a database of data over time. More specifically, the package facilitates type-2 history for data-warehouses and provides a number of Quality of life improvements for working on SQL databases with R. For reference see Ralph Kimball and Margy Ross (2013, ISBN 9781118530801).

Computes the optimal sample size for various 2-group designs (e.g., when comparing the means of two groups assuming equal variances, unequal variances, or comparing proportions) when the aim is to maximize the rewards over the full decision procedure of a) running a trial (with the computed sample size), and b) subsequently administering the winning treatment to the remaining N-n units in the population. Sample sizes and expected rewards for standard t- and z- tests are also provided.

This package implements the SparseStep model for solving regression problems with a sparsity constraint on the parameters. The SparseStep regression model was proposed in Van den Burg, Groenen, and Alfons (2017) <arXiv:1701.06967>. In the model, a regularization term is added to the regression problem which approximates the counting norm of the parameters. By iteratively improving the approximation a sparse solution to the regression problem can be obtained. In this package both the standard SparseStep algorithm is implemented as well as a path algorithm which uses golden section search to determine solutions with different values for the regularization parameter.

This package provides a toolkit for stratified medicine, subgroup identification, and precision medicine. Current tools include (1) filtering models (reduce covariate space), (2) patient-level estimate models (counterfactual patient-level quantities, such as the conditional average treatment effect), (3) subgroup identification models (find subsets of patients with similar treatment effects), and (4) treatment effect estimation and inference (for the overall population and discovered subgroups). These tools can be customized and are directly used in PRISM (patient response identifiers for stratified medicine; Jemielita and Mehrotra 2019 <arXiv:1912.03337>. This package is in beta and will be continually updated.

This package provides functions to be used in conjunction with the Sequential package that allows for planning of observational database studies that will be analyzed with exact sequential analysis. This package supports Poisson- and binomial-based data. The primary function, seq_wrapper(...), accepts parameters for simulation of a simple exposure pattern and for the Sequential package setup and analysis functions. The exposure matrix is used to simulate the true and false positive and negative populations (Green (1983) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a113521>, Brenner (1993) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a116805>). Functions are then run from the Sequential package on these populations, which allows for the exploration of outcome misclassification in data.

This package provides tools for designing spatially explicit capture-recapture studies of animal populations. This is primarily a simulation manager for package secr'. Extensions in version 2.5.0 include costing and evaluation of detector spacing.
