This package provides tools to conduct interpretable sensitivity analyses for weighted estimators, introduced in Huang (2024) <doi:10.1093/jrsssa/qnae012> and Hartman and Huang (2024) <doi:10.1017/pan.2023.12>. The package allows researchers to generate the set of recommended sensitivity summaries to evaluate the sensitivity in their underlying weighting estimators to omitted moderators or confounders. The tools can be flexibly applied in causal inference settings (i.e., in external and internal validity contexts) or survey contexts.

Likelihood evaluations for stationary Gaussian time series are typically obtained via the Durbin-Levinson algorithm, which scales as O(n^2) in the number of time series observations. This package provides a "superfast" O(n log^2 n) algorithm written in C++, crossing over with Durbin-Levinson around n = 300. Efficient implementations of the score and Hessian functions are also provided, leading to superfast versions of inference algorithms such as Newton-Raphson and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. The C++ code provides a Toeplitz matrix class packaged as a header-only library, to simplify low-level usage in other packages and outside of R.

Automatically fetch, transform and arrange subsets of multidimensional data sets (collections of files) stored in local and/or remote file systems or servers, using multicore capabilities where possible. This tool provides an interface to perceive a collection of data sets as a single large multidimensional data array, and enables the user to request for automatic retrieval, processing and arrangement of subsets of the large array. Wrapper functions to add support for custom file formats can be plugged in/out, making the tool suitable for any research field where large multidimensional data sets are involved.

This package implements a set of distribution modeling methods that are suited to species with small sample sizes (e.g., poorly sampled species or rare species). While these methods can also be used on well-sampled taxa, they are united by the fact that they can be utilized with relatively few data points. More details on the currently implemented methodologies can be found in Drake and Richards (2018) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.2373>, Drake (2015) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2015.0086>, and Drake (2014) <doi:10.1890/ES13-00202.1>.

SEM Trees and SEM Forests -- an extension of model-based decision trees and forests to Structural Equation Models (SEM). SEM trees hierarchically split empirical data into homogeneous groups each sharing similar data patterns with respect to a SEM by recursively selecting optimal predictors of these differences. SEM forests are an extension of SEM trees. They are ensembles of SEM trees each built on a random sample of the original data. By aggregating over a forest, we obtain measures of variable importance that are more robust than measures from single trees. A description of the method was published by Brandmaier, von Oertzen, McArdle, & Lindenberger (2013) <doi:10.1037/a0030001> and Arnold, Voelkle, & Brandmaier (2020) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.564403>.

By means of the graphical user interface it provides a comfortable way to elaborate by self-organizing map algorithm rather big datasets (txt files up to 100 MB ) obtained by environmental high-frequency monitoring by sensors/instruments. The functions present in the package are based on kohonen and openair packages implemented by functions embedding Vesanto et al. (2001) <http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/somtoolbox/package/papers/techrep.pdf> heuristic rules for map initialization parameters, k-means clustering algorithm and map features visualization. Cluster profiles visualization as well as graphs dedicated to the visualization of time-dependent variables Licen et al. (2020) <doi:10.4209/aaqr.2019.08.0414> are provided.

Given a list of substance compositions, a list of substances involved in a process, and a list of constraints in addition to mass conservation of elementary constituents, the package contains functions to build the substance composition matrix, to analyze the uniqueness of process stoichiometry, and to calculate stoichiometric coefficients if process stoichiometry is unique. (See Reichert, P. and Schuwirth, N., A generic framework for deriving process stoichiometry in enviromental models, Environmental Modelling and Software 25, 1241-1251, 2010 for more details.).

This package provides a toolkit for Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes (POMDP). Provides bindings to C++ libraries implementing the algorithm SARSOP (Successive Approximations of the Reachable Space under Optimal Policies) and described in Kurniawati et al (2008), <doi:10.15607/RSS.2008.IV.009>. This package also provides a high-level interface for generating, solving and simulating POMDP problems and their solutions.

Identifies a bicluster, a submatrix of the data such that the features and observations within the submatrix differ from those not contained in submatrix, using a two-step method. In the first step, observations in the bicluster are identified to maximize the sum of weighted between cluster feature differences. The method is described in Helgeson et al. (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13136>. SCBiclust can be used to identify biclusters which differ based on feature means, feature variances, or more general differences.

The method can be applied to either regularly or irregularly spaced data, including 1D, 2D, and 3D.

The package includes functions to estimate the optimal map size based on various quality measures and to generate a model using the selected dimensions. It also performs hierarchical clustering on the map nodes to group similar units. Documentation about the SOM-HCA method is provided in Pastorelli et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/xrs.3388>.

In order to facilitate the adjustment of the sample selection models existing in the literature, we created the ssmodels package. Our package allows the adjustment of the classic Heckman model (Heckman (1976), Heckman (1979) <doi:10.2307/1912352>), and the estimation of the parameters of this model via the maximum likelihood method and two-step method, in addition to the adjustment of the Heckman-t models introduced in the literature by Marchenko and Genton (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.656011> and the Heckman-Skew model introduced in the literature by Ogundimu and Hutton (2016) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12171>. We also implemented functions to adjust the generalized version of the Heckman model, introduced by Bastos, Barreto-Souza, and Genton (2021) <doi:10.5705/ss.202021.0068>, that allows the inclusion of covariables to the dispersion and correlation parameters, and a function to adjust the Heckman-BS model introduced by Bastos and Barreto-Souza (2020) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2020.1780570> that uses the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution as a joint distribution of the selection and primary regression variables. This package extends and complements existing R packages such as sampleSelection (Toomet and Henningsen, 2008) and ssmrob (Zhelonkin et al., 2016), providing additional robust and flexible sample selection models.

The functions allow for the numerical evaluation of some commonly used entropy measures, such as Shannon entropy, Rényi entropy, Havrda and Charvat entropy, and Arimoto entropy, at selected parametric values from several well-known and widely used probability distributions. Moreover, the functions also compute the relative loss of these entropies using the truncated distributions. Related works include: Awad, A. M., & Alawneh, A. J. (1987).
