This package provides a fast implementation with additional experimental features for testing, monitoring and dating structural changes in (linear) regression models. strucchangeRcpp features tests/methods from the generalized fluctuation test framework as well as from the F test (Chow test) framework. This includes methods to fit, plot and test fluctuation processes (e.g. cumulative/moving sum, recursive/moving estimates) and F statistics, respectively. These methods are described in Zeileis et al. (2002) <doi:10.18637/jss.v007.i02>. Finally, the breakpoints in regression models with structural changes can be estimated together with confidence intervals, and their magnitude as well as the model fit can be evaluated using a variety of statistical measures.

Handles datetimes as integers for the usage inside Discrete-Event Simulations (DES). The conversion is made using the internally generic function as.numeric() of the base package. DES is described in Simulation Modeling and Analysis by Averill Law and David Kelton (1999) <doi:10.2307/2288169>.

This package provides a framework for specifying spatially, temporally and spatially-and-temporally varying coefficient models using Generalized Additive Models with smooths. The smooths are parameterised with location, time and predictor variables. The framework supports the investigation of the presence and nature of any space-time dependencies in the data by evaluating multiple model forms (specifications) using a Generalized Cross-Validation score. The workflow sequence is to: i) Prepare the data by lengthening it to have a single location and time variables for each observation. ii) Evaluate all possible spatial and/or temporal models in which each predictor is specified in different ways. iii) Evaluate each model and pick the best one. iv) Create the final model. v) Calculate the varying coefficient estimates to quantify how the relationships between the target and predictor variables vary over space, time or space-time. vi) Create maps, time series plots etc. For more details see: Comber et al (2023) <doi:10.4230/LIPIcs.GIScience.2023.22>, Comber et al (2024) <doi:10.1080/13658816.2023.2270285> and Comber et al (2004) <doi:10.3390/ijgi13120459>.

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. (2024) <doi:10.1101/2022.03.24.485545>.

Web front end for your R functions producing plots or tables. If you have a function or set of related functions, you can make them available over the internet through a web browser. This is the same motivation as the shiny package, but note that the development of shinylight is not in any way linked to that of shiny (beyond the use of the httpuv package). You might prefer shinylight to shiny if you want a lighter weight deployment with easier horizontal scaling, or if you want to develop your front end yourself in JavaScript and HTML just using a lightweight remote procedure call interface to your R code on the server.

Randomization of presence/absence species distribution raster data with or without including spatial structure for calculating standardized effect sizes and testing null hypothesis. The randomization algorithms are based on classical algorithms for matrices (Gotelli 2000, <doi:10.2307/177478>) implemented for raster data.

This package provides a probability tree allows to compute probabilities of complex events, such as genotype probabilities in intermediate generations of inbreeding through recurrent self-fertilization (selfing). This package implements functionality to compute probability trees for two- and three-marker genotypes in the F2 to F7 selfing generations. The conditional probabilities are derived automatically and in symbolic form. The package also provides functionality to extract and evaluate the relevant probabilities.

This package performs a sentiment analysis of textual contents in R. This implementation utilizes various existing dictionaries, such as Harvard IV, or finance-specific dictionaries. Furthermore, it can also create customized dictionaries. The latter uses LASSO regularization as a statistical approach to select relevant terms based on an exogenous response variable.

This package provides a general purpose simulation-based power analysis API for routine and customized simulation experimental designs. The package focuses exclusively on Monte Carlo simulation experiment variants of (expected) prospective power analyses, criterion analyses, compromise analyses, sensitivity analyses, and a priori/post-hoc analyses. The default simulation experiment functions defined within the package provide stochastic variants of the power analysis subroutines in G*Power 3.1 (Faul, Erdfelder, Buchner, and Lang, 2009) <doi:10.3758/brm.41.4.1149>, along with various other parametric and non-parametric power analysis applications (e.g., mediation analyses) and support for Bayesian power analysis by way of Bayes factors or posterior probability evaluations. Additional functions for building empirical power curves, reanalyzing simulation information, and for increasing the precision of the resulting power estimates are also included, each of which utilize similar API structures. For further details see the associated publication in Chalmers (2025) <doi:10.3758/s13428-025-02787-z>.

Creating a great user interface for your Shiny apps can be a hassle, especially if you want to work purely in R and don't want to use, for instance HTML templates. This package adds support for a powerful UI library Fomantic UI - <https://fomantic-ui.com/> (before Semantic). It also supports universal UI input binding that works with various DOM elements.

The package allows for dynamically named files, folders, file content, as well as the functionality to drop individual template files into existing projects.

Maximum likelihood estimation for stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) of production (profit) and cost functions. The package includes the basic stochastic frontier for cross-sectional or pooled data with several distributions for the one-sided error term (i.e., Rayleigh, gamma, Weibull, lognormal, uniform, generalized exponential and truncated skewed Laplace), the latent class stochastic frontier model (LCM) as described in Dakpo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/1477-9552.12422>, for cross-sectional and pooled data, and the sample selection model as described in Greene (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11123-009-0159-1>, and applied in Dakpo et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/agec.12683>. Several possibilities in terms of optimization algorithms are proposed.

Estimation and inference methods for large-scale mean and quantile regression models via stochastic (sub-)gradient descent (S-subGD) algorithms. The inference procedure handles cross-sectional data sequentially: (i) updating the parameter estimate with each incoming "new observation", (ii) aggregating it as a Polyak-Ruppert average, and (iii) computing an asymptotically pivotal statistic for inference through random scaling. The methodology used in the SGDinference package is described in detail in the following papers: (i) Lee, S., Liao, Y., Seo, M.H. and Shin, Y. (2022) <doi:10.1609/aaai.v36i7.20701> "Fast and robust online inference with stochastic gradient descent via random scaling". (ii) Lee, S., Liao, Y., Seo, M.H. and Shin, Y. (2023) <arXiv:2209.14502> "Fast Inference for Quantile Regression with Tens of Millions of Observations".

This package provides a set of tools for state-dependent empirical analysis through both VAR- and local projection-based state-dependent forecasts, impulse response functions, historical decompositions, and forecast error variance decompositions.

Fast, lightweight toolkit for data splitting. Data sets can be partitioned into disjoint groups (e.g. into training, validation, and test) or into (repeated) k-folds for subsequent cross-validation. Besides basic splits, the package supports stratified, grouped as well as blocked splitting. Furthermore, cross-validation folds for time series data can be created. See e.g. Hastie et al. (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7> for the basic background on data partitioning and cross-validation.

Infrastructure and functions that can be used for integrating Stan (Carpenter et al. (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01>) code into stand alone R packages which in turn use the CmdStan engine which is often accessed through CmdStanR'. Details given in Stan Development Team (2025) <https://mc-stan.org/cmdstanr/>. Using CmdStanR and pre-written Stan code can make package installation easy. Using staninside offers a way to cache user-compiled Stan models in user-specified directories reducing the need to recompile the same model multiple times.
