Shannon entropy and Golomb's (1966) information generating function are also provided. Parametric families supported include the Gumbel bivariate exponential, Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM), bivariate power, and Schur-constant distributions. Plotting utilities and a simulation framework for evaluating estimator performance are also provided.

This package provides a set of tools for performing graph theory analysis of brain MRI data. It works with data from a Freesurfer analysis (cortical thickness, volumes, local gyrification index, surface area), diffusion tensor tractography data (e.g., from FSL) and resting-state fMRI data (e.g., from DPABI). It contains a graphical user interface for graph visualization and data exploration, along with several functions for generating useful figures.

This package provides a collection of tools for regression analysis of non-negative data, including strictly positive and zero-inflated observations, based on the class of the Box-Cox symmetric (BCS) distributions and its zero-adjusted extension. The BCS distributions are a class of flexible probability models capable of describing different levels of skewness and tail-heaviness. The package offers a comprehensive regression modeling framework, including estimation and tools for evaluating goodness-of-fit.

Posterior sampling and inference for Bayesian Poisson regression models. The model specification makes use of Gaussian (or conditionally Gaussian) prior distributions on the regression coefficients. Details on the algorithm are found in D'Angelo and Canale (2023) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2123337>.

An implementation of the bridge distribution with logit-link in R. In Wang and Louis (2003) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/90.4.765>, such a univariate bridge distribution was derived as the distribution of the random intercept that bridged a marginal logistic regression and a conditional logistic regression. The conditional and marginal regression coefficients are a scalar multiple of each other. Such is not the case if the random intercept distribution was Gaussian.

MDS is a statistic tool for reduction of dimensionality, using as input a distance matrix of dimensions n à n. When n is large, classical algorithms suffer from computational problems and MDS configuration can not be obtained. With this package, we address these problems by means of six algorithms, being two of them original proposals: - Landmark MDS proposed by De Silva V. and JB. Tenenbaum (2004). - Interpolation MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Reduced MDS proposed by Paradis E (2018). - Pivot MDS proposed by Brandes U. and C. Pich (2007) - Divide-and-conquer MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Fast MDS, proposed by Yang, T., J. Liu, L. McMillan and W. Wang (2006).

Fast partial least squares (PLS) for dense and out-of-core data. Provides SIMPLS (straightforward implementation of a statistically inspired modification of the PLS method) and NIPALS (non-linear iterative partial least-squares) solvers, plus kernel-style PLS variants ('kernelpls and widekernelpls') with parity to pls'. Optimized for bigmemory'-backed matrices with streamed cross-products and chunked BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) (XtX/XtY and XXt/YX), optional file-backed score sinks, and deterministic testing helpers. Includes an auto-selection strategy that chooses between XtX SIMPLS, XXt (wide) SIMPLS, and NIPALS based on (n, p) and a configurable memory budget. About the package, Bertrand and Maumy (2023) <https://hal.science/hal-05352069>, and <https://hal.science/hal-05352061> highlighted fitting and cross-validating PLS regression models to big data. For more details about some of the techniques featured in the package, Dayal and MacGregor (1997) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1099-128X(199701)11:1%3C73::AID-CEM435%3E3.0.CO;2-%23>, Rosipal & Trejo (2001) <https://www.jmlr.org/papers/v2/rosipal01a.html>, Tenenhaus, Viennet, and Saporta (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2007.01.004>, Rosipal (2004) <doi:10.1007/978-3-540-45167-9_17>, Rosipal (2019) <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8616346>, Song, Wang, and Bai (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2024.105238>. Includes kernel logistic PLS with C++'-accelerated alternating iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) updates, streamed reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) solvers with reusable centering statistics, and bootstrap diagnostics with graphical summaries for coefficients, scores, and cross-validation workflows, alongside dedicated plotting utilities for individuals, variables, ellipses, and biplots. The streaming backend uses far less memory and keeps memory bounded across data sizes. For PLS1, streaming is often fast enough while preserving a small memory footprint; for PLS2 it remains competitive with a bounded footprint. On small problems that fit comfortably in RAM (random-access memory), dense in-memory solvers are slightly faster; the crossover occurs as n or p grow and the Gram/cross-product cost dominates.
