Corrects the spelling of a given word in English using a modification of Peter Norvig's spell correct algorithm (see <http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html>) which handles up to three edits. The algorithm tries to find the spelling with maximum probability of intended correction out of all possible candidate corrections from the original word.

This package provides a framework for performing discrete (share-level) simulations of investment strategies. Simulated portfolios optimize exposure to an input signal subject to constraints such as position size and factor exposure. For background see L. Chincarini and D. Kim (2010, ISBN:978-0-07-145939-6) "Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management".

Calculates a modified Simplified Surface Energy Balance Index (SSEBI) and the Evaporative Fraction (EF) using geospatial raster data such as albedo and surface-air temperature difference (TSâ TA). The SSEBI is computed from albedo and TSâ TA to estimate surface moisture and evaporative dynamics, providing a robust assessment of surface dryness while accounting for atmospheric variations. Based on Roerink, Su, and Menenti (2000) <doi:10.1016/S1464-1909(99)00128-8>.

Allows user to conduct a simulation based quantitative bias analysis using covariate structures generated with individual-level data to characterize the bias arising from unmeasured confounding. Users can specify their desired data generating mechanisms to simulate data and quantitatively summarize findings in an end-to-end application using this package.

Take real or simulated data and salt it with errors commonly found in the wild, such as pseudo-OCR errors, Unicode problems, numeric fields with nonsensical punctuation, bad dates, etc.

This implements the Brunton et al (2016; PNAS <doi:10.1073/pnas.1517384113>) sparse identification algorithm for finding ordinary differential equations for a measured system from raw data (SINDy). The package includes a set of additional tools for working with raw data, with an emphasis on cognitive science applications (Dale and Bhat, 2018 <doi:10.1016/j.cogsys.2018.06.020>). See <https://github.com/racdale/sindyr> for examples and updates.

Similarity regression, evaluating the probability of association between sets of ontological terms and binary response vector. A no-association model is compared with one in which the log odds of a true response is linked to the semantic similarity between terms and a latent characteristic ontological profile - Phenotype Similarity Regression for Identifying the Genetic Determinants of Rare Diseases', Greene et al 2016 <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2016.01.008>.

The user has the option to utilize the two-dimensional density estimation techniques called smoothed density published by Eilers and Goeman (2004) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btg454>, and pareto density which was evaluated for univariate data by Thrun, Gehlert and Ultsch, 2020 <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0238835>. Moreover, it provides visualizations of the density estimation in the form of two-dimensional scatter plots in which the points are color-coded based on increasing density. Colors are defined by the one-dimensional clustering technique called 1D distribution cluster algorithm (DDCAL) published by Lux and Rinderle-Ma (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00357-022-09428-6>.

This package provides a Graphical user interface to calculate the rainfall-runoff relation using the Natural Resources Conservation Service - Curve Number method (NRCS-CN method) but include modifications by Hawkins et al., (2002) about the Initial Abstraction. This GUI follows the programming logic of a previously published software (Hernandez-Guzman et al., 2011)<doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2011.07.006>. It is a raster-based GIS tool that outputs runoff estimates from Land use/land cover and hydrologic soil group maps. This package has already been published in Journal of Hydroinformatics (Hernandez-Guzman et al., 2021)<doi:10.2166/hydro.2020.087> but it is under constant development at the Institute about Natural Resources Research (INIRENA) from the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo and represents a collaborative effort between the Hydro-Geomatic Lab (INIRENA) with the Environmental Management Lab (CIAD, A.C.).

Generate continuous (normal or non-normal), binary, ordinal, and count (Poisson or Negative Binomial) variables with a specified correlation matrix. It can also produce a single continuous variable. This package can be used to simulate data sets that mimic real-world situations (i.e. clinical or genetic data sets, plasmodes). All variables are generated from standard normal variables with an imposed intermediate correlation matrix. Continuous variables are simulated by specifying mean, variance, skewness, standardized kurtosis, and fifth and sixth standardized cumulants using either Fleishman's third-order (<DOI:10.1007/BF02293811>) or Headrick's fifth-order (<DOI:10.1016/S0167-9473(02)00072-5>) polynomial transformation. Binary and ordinal variables are simulated using a modification of the ordsample() function from GenOrd'. Count variables are simulated using the inverse cdf method. There are two simulation pathways which differ primarily according to the calculation of the intermediate correlation matrix. In Correlation Method 1, the intercorrelations involving count variables are determined using a simulation based, logarithmic correlation correction (adapting Yahav and Shmueli's 2012 method, <DOI:10.1002/asmb.901>). In Correlation Method 2, the count variables are treated as ordinal (adapting Barbiero and Ferrari's 2015 modification of GenOrd, <DOI:10.1002/asmb.2072>). There is an optional error loop that corrects the final correlation matrix to be within a user-specified precision value of the target matrix. The package also includes functions to calculate standardized cumulants for theoretical distributions or from real data sets, check if a target correlation matrix is within the possible correlation bounds (given the distributions of the simulated variables), summarize results (numerically or graphically), to verify valid power method pdfs, and to calculate lower standardized kurtosis bounds.

Execute the self-controlled case series (SCCS) design using observational data in the OMOP Common Data Model. Extracts all necessary data from the database and transforms it to the format required for SCCS. Age and season can be modeled using splines assuming constant hazard within calendar months. Event-dependent censoring of the observation period can be corrected for. Many exposures can be included at once (MSCCS), with regularization on all coefficients except for the exposure of interest. Includes diagnostics for all major assumptions of the SCCS.

Transformation of sea currents to connectivity data. Two files of horizontal and vertical currents flows are transformed into connectivity data in the form of sfnetwork', shapefile, edge list and adjacency matrix. An application example is shown at Nagkoulis et al. (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.dib.2024.111268>.

This package provides a tool for producing synthetic versions of microdata containing confidential information so that they are safe to be released to users for exploratory analysis. The key objective of generating synthetic data is to replace sensitive original values with synthetic ones causing minimal distortion of the statistical information contained in the data set. Variables, which can be categorical or continuous, are synthesised one-by-one using sequential modelling. Replacements are generated by drawing from conditional distributions fitted to the original data using parametric or classification and regression trees models. Data are synthesised via the function syn() which can be largely automated, if default settings are used, or with methods defined by the user. Optional parameters can be used to influence the disclosure risk and the analytical quality of the synthesised data. For a description of the implemented method see Nowok, Raab and Dibben (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v074.i11>. Functions to assess identity and attribute disclosure for the original and for the synthetic data are included in the package, and their use is illustrated in a vignette on disclosure (Practical Privacy Metrics for Synthetic Data).

This package provides a collection of data processing, visualization, and export functions to support soil survey operations. Many of the functions build on the `SoilProfileCollection` S4 class provided by the aqp package, extending baseline visualization to more elaborate depictions in the context of spatial and taxonomic data. While this package is primarily developed by and for the USDA-NRCS, in support of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, the authors strive for generalization sufficient to support any soil survey operation. Many of the included functions are used by the SoilWeb suite of websites and movile applications. These functions are provided here, with additional documentation, to enable others to replicate high quality versions of these figures for their own purposes.

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 provides functions for computing test subscores using different methods in both classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). This package enables three types of subscoring methods within the framework of CTT and IRT, including (1) Wainer's augmentation method (Wainer et. al., 2001) <doi:10.4324/9781410604729>, (2) Haberman's subscoring methods (Haberman, 2008) <doi:10.3102/1076998607302636>, and (3) Yen's objective performance index (OPI; Yen, 1987) <https://www.ets.org/research/policy_research_reports/publications/paper/1987/hrap>. It also includes functions to compute Proportional Reduction of Mean Squared Errors (PRMSEs) in Haberman's methods which are used to examine whether test subscores are of added value. In addition, the package includes a function to assess the local independence assumption of IRT with Yen's Q3 statistic (Yen, 1984 <doi:10.1177/014662168400800201>; Yen, 1993 <doi:10.1111/j.1745-3984.1993.tb00423.x>).

This package provides a set of consistent, opinionated functions to quickly check function arguments, coerce them to the desired configuration, or deliver informative error messages when that is not possible.

This package provides a collection of various techniques correcting statistical models for sample selection bias is provided. In particular, the resampling-based methods "stochastic inverse-probability oversampling" and "parametric inverse-probability bagging" are placed at the disposal which generate synthetic observations for correcting classifiers for biased samples resulting from stratified random sampling. For further information, see the article Krautenbacher, Theis, and Fuchs (2017) <doi:10.1155/2017/7847531>. The methods may be used for further purposes where weighting and generation of new observations is needed.

This package provides a tidy approach to spatial network analysis, in the form of classes and functions that enable a seamless interaction between the network analysis package tidygraph and the spatial analysis package sf'.

Statistical methods for estimating and inferring the mean of functional data. The methods include simultaneous confidence bands, local polynomial fitting, bandwidth selection by plug-in and cross-validation, goodness-of-fit tests for parametric models, equality tests for two-sample problems, and plotting functions.

This package provides functions to filter GPS/Argos locations, as well as assessing the sample size for the analysis of animal distributions. The filters remove temporal and spatial duplicates, fixes located at a given height from estimated high tide line, and locations with high error as described in Shimada et al. (2012) <doi:10.3354/meps09747> and Shimada et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00227-015-2771-0>. Sample size for the analysis of animal distributions can be assessed by the conventional area-based approach or the alternative probability-based approach as described in Shimada et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13506>.

This package provides functions to nonparametrically assess assumptions necessary to prevent the surrogate paradox through hypothesis tests of stochastic dominance, monotonicity of regression functions, and non-negative residual treatment effects. More details are available in Hsiao et al 2025 (under review). A tutorial for this package can be found at <https://laylaparast.com/home/SurrogateParadoxTest.html>.
