SCEPtER pipeline for estimating the stellar age for double-lined detached binary systems. The observational constraints adopted in the recovery are the effective temperature, the metallicity [Fe/H], the mass, and the radius of the two stars. The results are obtained adopting a maximum likelihood technique over a grid of pre-computed stellar models.

This package provides functions for small area estimation.

This package provides a minimalist implementation of model stacking by Wolpert (1992) <doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1> for boosted tree models. A classic, two-layer stacking model is implemented, where the first layer generates features using gradient boosting trees, and the second layer employs a logistic regression model that uses these features as inputs. Utilities for training the base models and parameters tuning are provided, allowing users to experiment with different ensemble configurations easily. It aims to provide a simple and efficient way to combine multiple gradient boosting models to improve predictive model performance and robustness.

Processor for selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer (SIFT-MS) output file from breath analysis. It allows the filtering of the SIFT output file (i.e., variation over time of the target analyte concentration) and the following analysis for the determination of: maximum, average, and standard deviation value of target concentration measured at each exhalation, and the respiratory rate over the measurement. Additionally, it is possible to align the SIFT-MS data with other on-line techniques such as cardio pulmonary exercise test (CPET) for a comprehensive characterization of breath samples.

Mixed DNA profiles can be sampled according to models for probabilistic genotyping. Peak height variability is modelled using a log normal distribution or a gamma distribution. Sample contributors may be related according to a pedigree.

Model based clustering with spherical data using mixtures of elliptically symmetric distributions, namely mixtures of spherical elliptically symmetric projected Cauchy (SESPC) or mixtures of elliptically symmetric angular Gaussian (ESAG) distributions. The relevant paper is: Perdikis T., Alharbi N. and Tsagris M. (2026). <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.27496>.

For standard Young tabeaux, performs enumeration, counting, random generation, the Robinson-Schensted correspondence, and conversion to and from paths on the Young lattice. Also performs enumeration and counting of semistandard Young tableaux, enumeration of skew semistandard Young tableaux, enumeration of Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns, and computation of Kostka numbers.

This package provides tabulation, descriptive-summary, and variable-inspection tools for applied data analysis. Frequency tables and cross-tabulations with contingency-table association measures (Cramer's V, Phi, Goodman-Kruskal Gamma, Kendall's Tau-b, Somers D, and others); categorical and continuous summary tables; regression coefficient tables for one or more lm or glm fits side by side; and outcome-by-group comparison tables from linear models with optional additive covariate adjustment. All table outputs follow APA conventions and expose broom'-compatible tidy() / glance() methods for downstream pipelines. Helpers cover interactive codebooks, variable-label extraction, clipboard export, and row-wise descriptive summaries.

This package implements spatial and spatiotemporal GLMMs (Generalized Linear Mixed Effect Models) using TMB', fmesher', and the SPDE (Stochastic Partial Differential Equation) Gaussian Markov random field approximation to Gaussian random fields. One common application is for spatially explicit species distribution models (SDMs). See Anderson et al. (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v115.i02>.

Computationally efficient tools for high dimensional predictive modeling (regression and classification). SAM is short for sparse additive modeling, and adopts the computationally efficient basis spline technique. We solve the optimization problems by various computational algorithms including the block coordinate descent algorithm, fast iterative soft-thresholding algorithm, and newton method. The computation is further accelerated by warm-start and active-set tricks.

This package implements SplitWise', a hybrid regression approach that transforms numeric variables into either single-split (0/1) dummy variables or retains them as continuous predictors. The transformation is followed by stepwise selection to identify the most relevant variables. The default iterative mode adaptively explores partial synergies among variables to enhance model performance, while an alternative univariate mode applies simpler transformations independently to each predictor. For details, see Kurbucz et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.15423>.

This package provides a helper function, to bulk read SQL code from separate files and load it into an R list, where the list elements contain the individual statements and queries as strings. This works by annotating the SQL code with a name comment, which also will be the name of the list element.

This package provides an extension for SQL queries as separate file within targets pipelines. The shorthand creates two targets, the query file and the query result.

Powerful graphical displays and statistical tools for structured problem solving and diagnosis. The functions of the sherlock package are especially useful for applying the process of elimination as a problem diagnosis technique. The sherlock package was designed to seamlessly work with the tidyverse set of packages and provides a collection of graphical displays built on top of the ggplot and plotly packages, such as different kinds of small multiple plots as well as helper functions such as adding reference lines, normalizing observations, reading in data or saving analysis results in an Excel file.

This package provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions sufficient to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of conditional mean functions, and non-negative residual treatment effect. Details are described in: Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L (2026). "Avoiding the surrogate paradox: an empirical framework for assessing assumptions." Journal of Nonparametric Statistics <doi:10.1080/10485252.2025.2498609>. There are also functions to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox via calculation of the resilience probability, the resilience bound, and the resilience set. Details will be available in Hsiao E, Tian L, and Parast L, "Resilience Measures for the Surrogate Paradox" (Under Review). Lastly, there is a function to assess resilience to the surrogate paradox in the met-analytic setting, described in Hsiao E and Parast L, "A Functional-Class Meta-Analytic Framework for Quantifying Surrogate Resilience" (Under Review). A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://www.laylaparast.com/surrogateparadoxtest>.
