Bootstrap methods to assess accuracy and stability of estimated network structures and centrality indices <doi:10.3758/s13428-017-0862-1>. Allows for flexible specification of any undirected network estimation procedure in R, and offers default sets for various estimation routines.

Enables off-the-shelf functionality for fully Bayesian, nonstationary Gaussian process modeling. The approach to nonstationary modeling involves a closed-form, convolution-based covariance function with spatially-varying parameters; these parameter processes can be specified either deterministically (using covariates or basis functions) or stochastically (using approximate Gaussian processes). Stationary Gaussian processes are a special case of our methodology, and we furthermore implement approximate Gaussian process inference to account for very large spatial data sets (Finley, et al (2017) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1702.00434>). Bayesian inference is carried out using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods via the "nimble" package, and posterior prediction for the Gaussian process at unobserved locations is provided as a post-processing step.

Please see Vinue (2020) <doi:10.1089/big.2018.0124> and Vinue (2024) <doi:10.1089/big.2023.0177>.

Assess the agreement in method comparison studies by tolerance intervals and errors-in-variables (EIV) regressions. The Ordinary Least Square regressions (OLSv and OLSh), the Deming Regression (DR), and the (Correlated)-Bivariate Least Square regressions (BLS and CBLS) can be used with unreplicated or replicated data. The BLS() and CBLS() are the two main functions to estimate a regression line, while XY.plot() and MD.plot() are the two main graphical functions to display, respectively an (X,Y) plot or (M,D) plot with the BLS or CBLS results. Four hyperbolic statistical intervals are provided: the Confidence Interval (CI), the Confidence Bands (CB), the Prediction Interval and the Generalized prediction Interval. Assuming no proportional bias, the (M,D) plot (Band-Altman plot) may be simplified by calculating univariate tolerance intervals (beta-expectation (type I) or beta-gamma content (type II)). Major updates from last version 1.0.0 are: title shortened, include the new functions BLS.fit() and CBLS.fit() as shortcut of the, respectively, functions BLS() and CBLS(). References: B.G.

The goal of blocking is to provide blocking methods for record linkage and deduplication using approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) algorithms and graph techniques. It supports multiple ANN implementations via rnndescent', RcppHNSW', RcppAnnoy', and mlpack packages, and provides integration with the reclin2 package. The package generates shingles from character strings and similarity vectors for record comparison, and includes evaluation metrics for assessing blocking performance including false positive rate (FPR) and false negative rate (FNR) estimates.

Bias- and Uncertainty-Corrected Sample Size. BUCSS implements a method of correcting for publication bias and uncertainty when planning sample sizes in a future study from an original study. See Anderson, Kelley, & Maxwell (2017; Psychological Science, 28, 1547-1562).

The four functions svdcp() ('cp for column partitioned), svdbip() or svdbip2() ('bip for bipartitioned), and svdbips() ('s for a simultaneous optimization of a set of r solutions), correspond to a singular value decomposition (SVD) by blocks notion, by supposing each block depending on relative subspaces, rather than on two whole spaces as usual SVD does. The other functions, based on this notion, are relative to two column partitioned data matrices x and y defining two sets of subsets x_i and y_j of variables and amount to estimate a link between x_i and y_j for the pair (x_i, y_j) relatively to the links associated to all the other pairs. These methods were first presented in: Lafosse R. & Hanafi M.,(1997) <https://eudml.org/doc/106424> and Hanafi M. & Lafosse, R. (2001) <https://eudml.org/doc/106494>.

The blocked weighted bootstrap (BBW) is an estimation technique for use with data from two-stage cluster sampled surveys in which either prior weighting (e.g. population-proportional sampling or PPS as used in Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions or SMART surveys) or posterior weighting (e.g. as used in rapid assessment method or RAM and simple spatial sampling method or S3M surveys) is implemented. See Cameron et al (2008) <doi:10.1162/rest.90.3.414> for application of bootstrap to cluster samples. See Aaron et al (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0163176> and Aaron et al (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0162462> for application of the blocked weighted bootstrap to estimate indicators from two-stage cluster sampled surveys.

Regression for data too large to fit in memory. This package functions exactly like the biglm package, but works with later versions of R.

Providing equivalent functions for the dummy classifier and regressor used in Python scikit-learn library. Our goal is to allow R users to easily identify baseline performance for their classification and regression problems. Our baseline models use no predictors, and are useful in cases of class imbalance, multiclass classification, and when users want to quickly identify how much improvement their statistical and machine learning models are over several baseline models. We use a "better" default (proportional guessing) for the dummy classifier than the Python implementation ("prior", which is the most frequent class in the training set). The functions in the package can be used on their own, or introduce methods named dummy_regressor or dummy_classifier that can be used within the caret package pipeline.
