Statnet is a collection of packages for statistical network analysis that are designed to work together because they share common data representations and API design. They provide an integrated set of tools for the representation, visualization, analysis, and simulation of many different forms of network data. This package is designed to make it easy to install and load the key statnet packages in a single step. Learn more about statnet at <http://www.statnet.org>. Tutorials for many packages can be found at <https://github.com/statnet/Workshops/wiki>. For an introduction to functions in this package, type help(package='statnet').

This package provides tools for setting up ("design"), conducting, and evaluating large-scale simulation studies with graphics and tables, including parallel computations.

Monte Carlo sampling algorithms for semiparametric Bayesian regression analysis. These models feature a nonparametric (unknown) transformation of the data paired with widely-used regression models including linear regression, spline regression, quantile regression, and Gaussian processes. The transformation enables broader applicability of these key models, including for real-valued, positive, and compactly-supported data with challenging distributional features. The samplers prioritize computational scalability and, for most cases, Monte Carlo (not MCMC) sampling for greater efficiency. Details of the methods and algorithms are provided in Kowal and Wu (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2395586>.

Support for reading/writing simple feature ('sf') spatial objects from/to Parquet files. Parquet files are an open-source, column-oriented data storage format from Apache (<https://parquet.apache.org/>), now popular across programming languages. This implementation converts simple feature list geometries into well-known binary format for use by arrow', and coordinate reference system information is maintained in a standard metadata format.

Efficient R package for latent class analysis of recurrent events, based on the semiparametric multiplicative intensity model by Zhao et al. (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12499>. SLCARE returns estimates for non-functional model parameters along with the associated variance estimates and p-values. Visualization tools are provided to depict the estimated functional model parameters and related functional quantities of interest. SLCARE also delivers a model checking plot to help assess the adequacy of the fitted model.

Estimation and inference for parameters in a Gaussian copula model, treating the univariate marginal distributions as nuisance parameters as described in Hoff (2007) <doi:10.1214/07-AOAS107>. This package also provides a semiparametric imputation procedure for missing multivariate data.

This package provides a general-purpose implementation of synthetic control methods that accounts for potential spillover effects between units. Based on the methodology of Cao and Dowd (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1902.07343> "Estimation and Inference for Synthetic Control Methods with Spillover Effects".

This package implements various methods for eliciting a probability distribution for a single parameter from an expert or a group of experts. The expert provides a small number of probability judgements, corresponding to points on his or her cumulative distribution function. A range of parametric distributions can then be fitted and displayed, with feedback provided in the form of fitted probabilities and percentiles. For multiple experts, a weighted linear pool can be calculated. Also includes functions for eliciting beliefs about population distributions; eliciting multivariate distributions using a Gaussian copula; eliciting a Dirichlet distribution; eliciting distributions for variance parameters in a random effects meta-analysis model; survival extrapolation. R Shiny apps for most of the methods are included.

Estimates unit-level and population-level parameters from a hierarchical model in marketing applications. The package includes: Hierarchical Linear Models with a mixture of normals prior and covariates, Hierarchical Multinomial Logits with a mixture of normals prior and covariates, Hierarchical Multinomial Logits with a Dirichlet Process prior and covariates. For more details, see Bumbaca, F. (Rico), Misra, S., & Rossi, P. E.

When working across multiple machines and, similarly for reproducible research, it can be time consuming to ensure that you have all of the needed packages installed and loaded and that the correct working directory is set. simpleSetup provides simple functions for making these tasks more straightforward.

We implement functions to estimate and perform sensitivity analysis to unobserved confounding of direct and indirect effects introduced in Lindmark, de Luna and Eriksson (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7620> and Lindmark (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10260-021-00611-4>. The estimation and sensitivity analysis are parametric, based on probit and/or linear regression models. Sensitivity analysis is implemented for unobserved confounding of the exposure-mediator, mediator-outcome and exposure-outcome relationships.

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.

Sparsity Oriented Importance Learning (SOIL) provides a new variable importance measure for high dimensional linear regression and logistic regression from a sparse penalization perspective, by taking into account the variable selection uncertainty via the use of a sensible model weighting. The package is an implementation of Ye, C., Yang, Y., and Yang, Y. (2017+).

This package provides a stable approach to variable selection through stability selection and the use of a permutation-based objective stability threshold. Lima et al (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-79317-8>, Meinshausen and Buhlmann (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2010.00740.x>.

This package performs cluster analysis of mixed-type data using Spectral Clustering, see F. Mbuga and, C. Tortora (2022) <doi:10.3390/stats5010001>.

The focus is on simulating and modeling families with founders drawn from a structured population (for example, with different ancestries or other potentially non-family relatedness), in contrast to traditional pedigree analysis that treats all founders as equally unrelated. Main function simulates a random pedigree for many generations, avoiding close relatives, pairing closest individuals according to a 1D geography and their randomly-drawn sex, and with variable children sizes to result in a target population size per generation. Auxiliary functions calculate kinship matrices, admixture matrices, and draw random genotypes across arbitrary pedigree structures starting from the corresponding founder values. The code is built around the plink FAM table format for pedigrees. Described in Yao and Ochoa (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.03.25.485885>.
