Optimal hard thresholding of singular values. The procedure adaptively estimates the best singular value threshold under unknown noise characteristics. The threshold chosen by ScreeNOT is optimal (asymptotically, in the sense of minimum Frobenius error) under the the so-called "Spiked model" of a low-rank matrix observed in additive noise. In contrast to previous works, the noise is not assumed to be i.i.d. or white; it can have an essentially arbitrary and unknown correlation structure, across either rows, columns or both. ScreeNOT is proposed to practitioners as a mathematically solid alternative to Cattell's ever-popular but vague Scree Plot heuristic from 1966.

Providing convenience functions to connect R with the Spotify application programming interface ('API'). At first it aims to help setting up the OAuth2.0 Authentication flow. The default output of the get_*() functions is tidy, but optionally the functions could return the raw response from the API as well. The search_*() and get_*() functions can be combined. See the vignette for more information and examples and the official Spotify for Developers website <https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/> for information about the Web API'.

The past decade has demonstrated an increased need to better understand risks leading to systemic crises. This framework offers scholars, practitioners and policymakers a useful toolbox to explore such risks in financial systems. Specifically, this framework provides popular econometric and network measures to monitor systemic risk and to measure the consequences of regulatory decisions. These systemic risk measures are based on the frameworks of Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016) <doi:10.1257/aer.20120555> and Billio, Getmansky, Lo and Pelizzon (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2011.12.010>.

This package provides functions for efficiently estimating properties of the Van Genuchten-Mualem model for soil hydraulic parameters from possibly sparse soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity data by multi-response parameter estimation methods (Stewart, W.E., Caracotsios, M. Soerensen, J.P. (1992) "Parameter estimation from multi-response data" <doi:10.1002/aic.690380502>). Parameter estimation is simplified by exploiting the fact that residual and saturated water contents and saturated conductivity are conditionally linear parameters (Bates, D. M. and Watts, D. G. (1988) "Nonlinear Regression Analysis and Its Applications" <doi:10.1002/9780470316757>). Estimated parameters are optionally constrained by the evaporation characteristic length (Lehmann, P., Bickel, S., Wei, Z. and Or, D. (2020) "Physical Constraints for Improved Soil Hydraulic Parameter Estimation by Pedotransfer Functions" <doi:10.1029/2019WR025963>) to ensure that the estimated parameters are physically valid. Common S3 methods and further utility functions allow to process, explore and visualise estimation results.

This package provides functions to run and assist four different similarity measures. The similarity measures included are: longest common subsequence (LCSS), Frechet distance, edit distance and dynamic time warping (DTW). Each of these similarity measures can be calculated from two n-dimensional trajectories, both in matrix form.

Random Forest-like tree ensemble that works with groups of predictor variables. When building a tree, a number of variables is taken randomly from each group separately, thus ensuring that it considers variables from each group for the splits. Useful when rows contain information about different things (e.g. user information and product information) and it's not sensible to make a prediction with information from only one group of variables, or when there are far more variables from one group than the other and it's desired to have groups appear evenly on trees. Trees are grown using the C5.0 algorithm rather than the usual CART algorithm. Supports parallelization (multithreaded), missing values in predictors, and categorical variables (without doing One-Hot encoding in the processing). Can also be used to create a regular (non-stratified) Random Forest-like model, but made up of C5.0 trees and with some additional control options. As it's built with C5.0 trees, it works only for classification (not for regression).

This package implements data-driven identification methods for structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models as described in Lange et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i05>. Based on an existing VAR model object (provided by e.g. VAR() from the vars package), the structural impact matrix is obtained via data-driven identification techniques (i.e. changes in volatility (Rigobon, R. (2003) <doi:10.1162/003465303772815727>), patterns of GARCH (Normadin, M., Phaneuf, L. (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.jmoneco.2003.11.002>), independent component analysis (Matteson, D. S, Tsay, R. S., (2013) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1150851>), least dependent innovations (Herwartz, H., Ploedt, M., (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jimonfin.2015.11.001>), smooth transition in variances (Luetkepohl, H., Netsunajev, A. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jedc.2017.09.001>) or non-Gaussian maximum likelihood (Lanne, M., Meitz, M., Saikkonen, P. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2016.06.002>)).

Stochastic blockmodeling of one-mode and linked networks as presented in Škulj and Žiberna (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2022.02.001>. The optimization is done via CEM (Classification Expectation Maximization) algorithm that can be initialized by random partitions or the results of k-means algorithm. The development of this package is financially supported by the Slovenian Research Agency (<https://www.arrs.si/>) within the research programs P5-0168 and the research projects J7-8279 (Blockmodeling multilevel and temporal networks) and J5-2557 (Comparison and evaluation of different approaches to blockmodeling dynamic networks by simulations with application to Slovenian co-authorship networks).

This package implements the Self-Similarity Test for Normality (SSTN), a new statistical test designed to assess whether a given sample originates from a normal distribution. The procedure is based on iteratively estimating the characteristic function of the sum of standardized i.i.d. random variables and comparing it to the characteristic function of the standard normal distribution. A Monte Carlo procedure is used to determine the empirical distribution of the test statistic under the null hypothesis. Details of the methodology are described in Anarat and Schwender (2025), "A normality test based on self-similarity" (Submitted).
