This package provides tools for constructing, auditing, and visualizing temporal social interaction networks from event-log data. Supports graph construction from raw user-to-user interaction logs, longitudinal tracking of network structure, community dynamics, user role trajectories, and concentration of engagement over time. Designed for computational social science, platform analytics, and digital community health monitoring. Includes four longitudinal audit indices: the Network Drift Index ('NDI'), Community Fragmentation Index ('CFI'), Visibility Concentration Index ('VCI'), and Role Mobility Index ('RMI'). NDI', CFI', VCI', and RMI are purpose-built composite scores for longitudinal platform auditing.

Fits (excess) hazard, relative mortality ratio or marginal intensity models with multidimensional penalized splines allowing for time-dependent effects, non-linear effects and interactions between several continuous covariates. In survival and net survival analysis, in addition to modelling the effect of time (via the baseline hazard), one has often to deal with several continuous covariates and model their functional forms, their time-dependent effects, and their interactions. Model specification becomes therefore a complex problem and penalized regression splines represent an appealing solution to that problem as splines offer the required flexibility while penalization limits overfitting issues. Current implementations of penalized survival models can be slow or unstable and sometimes lack some key features like taking into account expected mortality to provide net survival and excess hazard estimates. In contrast, survPen provides an automated, fast, and stable implementation (thanks to explicit calculation of the derivatives of the likelihood) and offers a unified framework for multidimensional penalized hazard and excess hazard models. Later versions (>2.0.0) include penalized models for relative mortality ratio, and marginal intensity in recurrent event setting. survPen may be of interest to those who 1) analyse any kind of time-to-event data: mortality, disease relapse, machinery breakdown, unemployment, etc 2) wish to describe the associated hazard and to understand which predictors impact its dynamics, 3) wish to model the relative mortality ratio between a cohort and a reference population, 4) wish to describe the marginal intensity for recurrent event data. See Fauvernier et al. (2019a) <doi:10.21105/joss.01434> for an overview of the package and Fauvernier et al. (2019b) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12368> for the method.

Scripts and exercises that use card shuffling to teach confidence interval comparisons for different estimators.

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.

This package implements a general algorithm for estimating Sparse Multiple Index (SMI) models for nonparametric forecasting and prediction. Estimation of SMI models requires the Gurobi mixed integer programming (MIP) solver via the gurobi R package. To use this functionality, the Gurobi Optimizer must be installed, and a valid license obtained and activated from <https://www.gurobi.com>. The gurobi R package must then be installed and configured following the instructions at <https://support.gurobi.com/hc/en-us/articles/14462206790033-How-do-I-install-Gurobi-for-R>. The package also includes functions for fitting nonparametric additive models with backward elimination, group-wise additive index models, and projection pursuit regression models as benchmark comparison methods. In addition, it provides tools for generating prediction intervals to quantify uncertainty in point forecasts produced by the SMI model and benchmark models, using the classical block bootstrap and a new method called conformal bootstrap, which integrates block bootstrap with split conformal prediction.

Combining Predictive Analytics and Experimental Design to Optimize Results. To be utilized to select a test data calibrated training population in high dimensional prediction problems and assumes that the explanatory variables are observed for all of the individuals. Once a "good" training set is identified, the response variable can be obtained only for this set to build a model for predicting the response in the test set. The algorithms in the package can be tweaked to solve some other subset selection problems.
