It's a Super K-Nearest Neighbor(SKNN) classification method with using kernel density to describe weight of the distance between a training observation and the testing sample. Comparison of performance between SKNN and KNN shows that SKNN is significantly superior to KNN.

This package performs predictions of totals and weighted sums, or finite population block kriging, on spatial data using the methods in Ver Hoef (2008) <doi:10.1007/s10651-007-0035-y>. The primary outputs are an estimate of the total, mean, or weighted sum in the region, an estimated prediction variance, and a plot of the predicted and observed values. This is useful primarily to users with ecological data that are counts or densities measured on some sites in a finite area of interest. Spatial prediction for the total count or average density in the entire region can then be done using the functions in this package.

The notion of power index has been widely used in literature to evaluate the influence of individual players (e.g., voters, political parties, nations, stockholders, etc.) involved in a collective decision situation like an electoral system, a parliament, a council, a management board, etc., where players may form coalitions. Traditionally this ranking is determined through numerical evaluation. More often than not however only ordinal data between coalitions is known. The package socialranking offers a set of solutions to rank players based on a transitive ranking between coalitions, including through CP-Majority, ordinal Banzhaf or lexicographic excellence solution summarized by Tahar Allouche, Bruno Escoffier, Stefano Moretti and Meltem à ztürk (2020, <doi:10.24963/ijcai.2020/3>).

Unsupervised text tokenizer allowing to perform byte pair encoding and unigram modelling. Wraps the sentencepiece library <https://github.com/google/sentencepiece> which provides a language independent tokenizer to split text in words and smaller subword units. The techniques are explained in the paper "SentencePiece: A simple and language independent subword tokenizer and detokenizer for Neural Text Processing" by Taku Kudo and John Richardson (2018) <doi:10.18653/v1/D18-2012>. Provides as well straightforward access to pretrained byte pair encoding models and subword embeddings trained on Wikipedia using word2vec', as described in "BPEmb: Tokenization-free Pre-trained Subword Embeddings in 275 Languages" by Benjamin Heinzerling and Michael Strube (2018) <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/1049.pdf>.

This package performs support vectors analysis for data sets with survival outcome. Three approaches are available in the package: The regression approach takes censoring into account when formulating the inequality constraints of the support vector problem. In the ranking approach, the inequality constraints set the objective to maximize the concordance index for comparable pairs of observations. The hybrid approach combines the regression and ranking constraints in the same model.

This package provides a set of functions allowing to implement the SpiceFP approach which is iterative. It involves transformation of functional predictors into several candidate explanatory matrices (based on contingency tables), to which relative edge matrices with contiguity constraints are associated. Generalized Fused Lasso regression are performed in order to identify the best candidate matrix, the best class intervals and related coefficients at each iteration. The approach is stopped when the maximal number of iterations is reached or when retained coefficients are zeros. Supplementary functions allow to get coefficients of any candidate matrix or mean of coefficients of many candidates. The methods in this package are describing in Girault Gnanguenon Guesse, Patrice Loisel, Bénedicte Fontez, Thierry Simonneau, Nadine Hilgert (2021) "An exploratory penalized regression to identify combined effects of functional variables -Application to agri-environmental issues" <https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03298977>.

The developed function generates soil salinity indices using satellite data, utilizing multiple spectral bands such as Blue, Green, Red, Near-Infrared (NIR), and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR1, SWIR2). It computes 24 different salinity indices crucial for monitoring and analyzing salt-affected soils efficiently. For more details see, Rani, et al. (2022). <DOI: 10.1007/s12517-022-09682-3>. One of the key features of the developed function is its flexibility. Users can provide any combination of the required spectral bands, and the function will automatically calculate only the relevant indices based on the available data. This dynamic capability ensures that users can maximize the utility of their data without the need for all spectral bands, making the package versatile and user-friendly. Outputs are provided as GeoTIFF file format, facilitating easy integration with GIS workflows.

The HJ-Biplot is a multivariate method that represents high-dimensional data in a low-dimensional subspace, capturing most of the informationâ s variability in just a few dimensions. This package implements three new regularized versions of the HJ-Biplot: Ridge, LASSO, and Elastic Net. These versions introduce restrictions that shrink or zero-out variable weights to improve interpretability based on regularization theory. All methods provide graphical representations using ggplot2'.

Fit latent variable models with the GEV distribution as the data likelihood and the GEV parameters following latent Gaussian processes. The models in this package are built using the template model builder TMB in R, which has the fast ability to integrate out the latent variables using Laplace approximation. This package allows the users to choose in the fit function which GEV parameter(s) is considered as a spatially varying random effect following a Gaussian process, so the users can fit spatial GEV models with different complexities to their dataset without having to write the models in TMB by themselves. This package also offers methods to sample from both fixed and random effects posteriors as well as the posterior predictive distributions at different spatial locations. Methods for fitting this class of models are described in Chen, Ramezan, and Lysy (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.07051>.

We analyzed the nucleotide composition of genes with a special emphasis on stability of DNA sequences. Besides, in a variety of different organisms unequal use of synonymous codons, or codon usage bias, occurs which also show variation among genes in the same genome. Seemingly, codon usage bias is affected by both selective constraints and mutation bias which allows and enables us to examine and detect changes in these two evolutionary forces between genomes or along one genome. Therefore, we determined the codon adaptation index (CAI), effective number of codons (ENC) and codon usage analysis with calculation of the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), and subsequently predicted the translation efficiency and accuracy through GC-rich codon usages. Furthermore, we estimated the relative stability of the DNA sequence following calculation of the average free energy (Delta G) and Dimer base-stacking energy level.

Traditional model evaluation metrics fail to capture model performance under less than ideal conditions. This package employs techniques to evaluate models "under-stress". This includes testing models extrapolation ability, or testing accuracy on specific sub-samples of the overall model space. Details describing stress-testing methods in this package are provided in Haycock (2023) <doi:10.26076/2am5-9f67>. The other primary contribution of this package is provided to R users access to the Python library PyCaret <https://pycaret.org/> for quick and easy access to auto-tuned machine learning models.

An extension to the individual claim simulator called SynthETIC (on CRAN), to simulate the evolution of case estimates of incurred losses through the lifetime of an insurance claim. The transactional simulation output now comprises key dates, and both claim payments and revisions of estimated incurred losses. An initial set of test parameters, designed to mirror the experience of a real insurance portfolio, were set up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of incurred histories (see vignette). However, the distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can be easily modified by users to match their experiences.
