This package provides a wrapper to access data from the SeeClickFix web API for R. SeeClickFix is a central platform employed by many cities that allows citizens to request their city's services. This package creates several functions to work with all the built-in calls to the SeeClickFix API. Allows users to download service request data from numerous locations in easy-to-use dataframe format manipulable in standard R functions.

This package provides a metric expressing the quality of a UMAP layout. This is a package that contains the Saturn_coefficient() function that reads an input matrix, its dimensionality reduction produced by UMAP, and evaluates the quality of this dimensionality reduction by producing a real value in the [0; 1] interval. We call this real value Saturn coefficient. A higher value means better dimensionality reduction; a lower value means worse dimensionality reduction. Reference: Davide Chicco et al. "The Saturn coefficient for evaluating the quality of UMAP dimensionality reduction results" (2025, in preparation).

This package performs automatic creation of short forms of scales with an ant colony optimization algorithm and a Tabu search. As implemented in the package, the ant colony algorithm randomly selects items to build a model of a specified length, then updates the probability of item selection according to the fit of the best model within each set of searches. The algorithm continues until the same items are selected by multiple ants a given number of times in a row. On the other hand, the Tabu search changes one parameter at a time to be either free, constrained, or fixed while keeping track of the changes made and putting changes that result in worse fit in a "tabu" list so that the algorithm does not revisit them for some number of searches. See Leite, Huang, & Marcoulides (2008) <doi:10.1080/00273170802285743> for an applied example of the ant colony algorithm, and Marcoulides & Falk (2018) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2017.1409074> for an applied example of the Tabu search.

Estimates the population average controlled difference for a given outcome between levels of a binary treatment, exposure, or other group membership variable of interest for clustered, stratified survey samples where sample selection depends on the comparison group. Provides three methods for estimation, namely outcome modeling and two factorizations of inverse probability weighting. Under stronger assumptions, these methods estimate the causal population average treatment effect. Salerno et al., (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.19597>.

Utility functions for scale-dependent and alternative hyperpriors. The distribution parameters may capture location, scale, shape, etc. and every parameter may depend on complex additive terms (fixed, random, smooth, spatial, etc.) similar to a generalized additive model. Hyperpriors for all effects can be elicitated within the package. Including complex tensor product interaction terms and variable selection priors. The basic model is explained in in Klein and Kneib (2016) <doi:10.1214/15-BA983>.

This package provides an implementation of simultaneous tolerance bounds (STB), useful for checking whether a numeric vector fits to a hypothetical null-distribution or not. Furthermore, there are functions for computing STB (bands, intervals) for random variates of linear mixed models fitted with package VCA'. All kinds of, possibly transformed (studentized, standardized, Pearson-type transformed) random variates (residuals, random effects), can be assessed employing STB-methodology.

This package provides a collection of functions which (i) assess the quality of variable subsets as surrogates for a full data set, in either an exploratory data analysis or in the context of a multivariate linear model, and (ii) search for subsets which are optimal under various criteria. Theoretical support for the heuristic search methods and exploratory data analysis criteria is in Cadima, Cerdeira, Minhoto (2003, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2003.11.001>). Theoretical support for the leap and bounds algorithm and the criteria for the general multivariate linear model is in Duarte Silva (2001, <doi:10.1006/jmva.2000.1920>). There is a package vignette "subselect", which includes additional references.

This package provides tools for analyzing and understanding the file contents of large shiny application directories. The package extracts key information about render functions, reactive functions, and their inputs from app files, organizing them into structured data frames for easy reference.

Set of tools to fit a semi-parametric regression model suitable for analysis of data sets in which the response variable is continuous, strictly positive, asymmetric and possibly, censored. Under this setup, both the median and the skewness of the response variable distribution are explicitly modeled by using semi-parametric functions, whose non-parametric components may be approximated by natural cubic splines or P-splines. Supported distributions for the model error include log-normal, log-Student-t, log-power-exponential, log-hyperbolic, log-contaminated-normal, log-slash, Birnbaum-Saunders and Birnbaum-Saunders-t distributions.

There are several functions to implement the method for analysis in a randomized clinical trial with strata with following key features. A stratified Mann-Whitney estimator addresses the comparison between two randomized groups for a strictly ordinal response variable. The multivariate vector of such stratified Mann-Whitney estimators for multivariate response variables can be considered for one or more response variables such as in repeated measurements and these can have missing completely at random (MCAR) data. Non-parametric covariance adjustment is also considered with the minimal assumption of randomization. The p-value for hypothesis test and confidence interval are provided.

Computationally efficient tools for high dimensional predictive modeling (regression and classification). SAM is short for sparse additive modeling, and adopts the computationally efficient basis spline technique. We solve the optimization problems by various computational algorithms including the block coordinate descent algorithm, fast iterative soft-thresholding algorithm, and newton method. The computation is further accelerated by warm-start and active-set tricks.

An implementation of a single-index regression for optimizing individualized dose rules from an observational study. To model interaction effects between baseline covariates and a treatment variable defined on a continuum, we employ two-dimensional penalized spline regression on an index-treatment domain, where the index is defined as a linear combination of the covariates (a single-index). An unspecified main effect for the covariates is allowed, which can also be modeled through a parametric model. A unique contribution of this work is in the parsimonious single-index parametrization specifically defined for the interaction effect term. We refer to Park, Petkova, Tarpey, and Ogden (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13320> (for the case of a discrete treatment) and Park, Petkova, Tarpey, and Ogden (2021) "A single-index model with a surface-link for optimizing individualized dose rules" <arXiv:2006.00267v2> for detail of the method. The model can take a member of the exponential family as a response variable and can also take an ordinal categorical response. The main function of this package is simsl().
