This package provides a set of function that implements for seasonal multivariate time series analysis based on Seasonal Generalized Space Time Autoregressive with Seemingly Unrelated Regression (S-GSTAR-SUR) Model by Setiawan(2016)<https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316517889_S-GSTAR-SUR_model_for_seasonal_spatio_temporal_data_forecasting>.

Computes the sBIC for various singular model collections including: binomial mixtures, factor analysis models, Gaussian mixtures, latent forests, latent class analyses, and reduced rank regressions.

Computation of sparse eigenvectors of a matrix (aka sparse PCA) with running time 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than existing methods and better final performance in terms of recovery of sparsity pattern and estimation of numerical values. Can handle covariance matrices as well as data matrices with real or complex-valued entries. Different levels of sparsity can be specified for each individual ordered eigenvector and the method is robust in parameter selection. See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the paper: K. Benidis, Y. Sun, P. Babu, and D. P. Palomar (2016). "Orthogonal Sparse PCA and Covariance Estimation via Procrustes Reformulation," IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing <doi:10.1109/TSP.2016.2605073>.

This package provides a consistently well behaved method of interpolation based on piecewise rational functions using Stineman's algorithm.

Testing the mediation effect of multiple SNPs on an outcome through a mediator.

An assortment of helper functions for doing structural equation modeling, mainly by lavaan for now. Most of them are time-saving functions for common tasks in doing structural equation modeling and reading the output. This package is not for functions that implement advanced statistical procedures. It is a light-weight package for simple functions that do simple tasks conveniently, with as few dependencies as possible.

In a clinical trial with repeated measures designs, outcomes are often taken from subjects at fixed time-points. The focus of the trial may be to compare the mean outcome in two or more groups at some pre-specified time after enrollment. In the presence of missing data auxiliary assumptions are necessary to perform such comparisons. One commonly employed assumption is the missing at random assumption (MAR). The samon package allows the user to perform a (parameterized) sensitivity analysis of this assumption. In particular it can be used to examine the sensitivity of tests in the difference in outcomes to violations of the MAR assumption. The sensitivity analysis can be performed under two scenarios, a) where the data exhibit a monotone missing data pattern (see the samon() function), and, b) where in addition to a monotone missing data pattern the data exhibit intermittent missing values (see the samonIM() function).

Fetch data on targeted public investments from Plataforma +Brasil (SICONV) <http://plataformamaisbrasil.gov.br/>, the responsible system for requests, execution, and monitoring of federal discretionary transfers in Brazil.

Message translation is often managed with po files and the gettext programme, but sometimes another solution is needed. In contrast to po files, a more flexible approach is used as in the Fluent <https://projectfluent.org/> project with R Markdown snippets. The key-value approach allows easier handling of the translated messages.

This package provides tools to simulate realistic raw case data for an epidemic in the form of line lists and contacts using a branching process. Simulated outbreaks are parameterised with epidemiological parameters and can have age-structured populations, age-stratified hospitalisation and death risk and time-varying case fatality risk.

Sensitivity analysis in unmatched observational studies, with or without strata. The main functions are sen2sample() and senstrat(). See Rosenbaum, P. R. and Krieger, A. M. (1990), JASA, 85, 493-498, <doi:10.1080/01621459.1990.10476226> and Gastwirth, Krieger and Rosenbaum (2000), JRSS-B, 62, 545â 555 <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00249> .

Univariate stratification of survey populations with a generalization of the Lavallee-Hidiroglou method of stratum construction. The generalized method takes into account a discrepancy between the stratification variable and the survey variable. The determination of the optimal boundaries also incorporate, if desired, an anticipated non-response, a take-all stratum for large units, a take-none stratum for small units, and a certainty stratum to ensure that some specific units are in the sample. The well known cumulative root frequency rule of Dalenius and Hodges and the geometric rule of Gunning and Horgan are also implemented.

Apache Drill is a low-latency distributed query engine designed to enable data exploration and analysis on both relational and non-relational data stores, scaling to petabytes of data. Methods are provided that enable working with Apache Drill instances via the REST API, DBI methods and using dplyr'/'dbplyr idioms. Helper functions are included to facilitate using official Drill Docker images/containers.

This package provides three types of datetime pickers for usage in a Shiny UI. A datetime picker is an input field for selecting both a date and a time.

This package implements the algorithm described in Barron, M., and Li, J. (Not yet published). This algorithm clusters samples from multiple ordered populations, links the clusters across the conditions and identifies marker genes for these changes. The package was designed for scRNA-Seq data but is also applicable to many other data types, just replace cells with samples and genes with variables. The package also contains functions for estimating the parameters for SparseMDC as outlined in the paper. We recommend that users further select their marker genes using the magnitude of the cluster centers.

Simulate complex data from a given directed acyclic graph and information about each individual node. Root nodes are simply sampled from the specified distribution. Child Nodes are simulated according to one of many implemented regressions, such as logistic regression, linear regression, poisson regression or any other function. Also includes a comprehensive framework for discrete-time simulation, discrete-event simulation, and networks-based simulation which can generate even more complex longitudinal and dependent data. For more details, see Robin Denz, Nina Timmesfeld (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2506.01498>.

Creation of an individual claims simulator which generates various features of non-life insurance claims. An initial set of test parameters, designed to mirror the experience of an Auto Liability portfolio, were set up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of individual claims (see vignette). The simulated data set then allows practitioners to back-test the validity of various reserving models and to prove and/or disprove certain actuarial assumptions made in claims modelling. The distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can be easily modified by users to match their experiences.

This package provides functions that compute the spatial covariance matrix for the matern and power classes of spatial models, for data that arise on rectangular units. This code can also be used for the change of support problem and for spatial data that arise on irregularly shaped regions like counties or zipcodes by laying a fine grid of rectangles and aggregating the integrals in a form of Riemann integration.
