This package provides methods for decomposing seasonal data: STR (a Seasonal-Trend time series decomposition procedure based on Regression) and Robust STR. In some ways, STR is similar to Ridge Regression and Robust STR can be related to LASSO. They allow for multiple seasonal components, multiple linear covariates with constant, flexible and seasonal influence. Seasonal patterns (for both seasonal components and seasonal covariates) can be fractional and flexible over time; moreover they can be either strictly periodic or have a more complex topology. The methods provide confidence intervals for the estimated components. The methods can also be used for forecasting.

Implementation for sparse logistic functional principal component analysis (SLFPCA). SLFPCA is specifically developed for functional binary data, and the estimated eigenfunction can be strictly zero on some sub-intervals, which is helpful for interpretation. The crucial function of this package is SLFPCA().

This package contains functions to perform various models and methods for test equating (Kolen and Brennan, 2014 <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-0317-7> ; Gonzalez and Wiberg, 2017 <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-51824-4> ; von Davier et. al, 2004 <doi:10.1007/b97446>). It currently implements the traditional mean, linear and equipercentile equating methods. Both IRT observed-score and true-score equating are also supported, as well as the mean-mean, mean-sigma, Haebara and Stocking-Lord IRT linking methods. It also supports newest methods such that local equating, kernel equating (using Gaussian, logistic, Epanechnikov, uniform and adaptive kernels) with presmoothing, and IRT parameter linking methods based on asymmetric item characteristic functions. Functions to obtain both standard error of equating (SEE) and standard error of equating differences between two equating functions (SEED) are also implemented for the kernel method of equating.

This package provides a statistical disclosure control tool to protect frequency tables in cases where small values are sensitive. The function PLSrounding() performs small count rounding of necessary inner cells so that all small frequencies of cross-classifications to be published (publishable cells) are rounded. This is equivalent to changing micro data since frequencies of unique combinations are changed. Thus, additivity and consistency are guaranteed. The methodology is described in Langsrud and Heldal (2018) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327768398_An_Algorithm_for_Small_Count_Rounding_of_Tabular_Data>.

This package provides a user-friendly framework for estimating a wide variety of cross-sectional and panel stochastic frontier models. Suitable for a broad range of applications, the implementation offers extensive flexibility in specification and estimation techniques.

This package provides a parallel execution runtime for R that emphasizes deterministic memory behavior and efficient handling of large shared inputs. shard enables zero-copy parallel reads via shared/memory-mapped segments, encourages explicit output buffers to avoid large result aggregation, and supervises worker processes to mitigate memory drift via controlled recycling. Diagnostics report peak memory usage, end-of-run memory return, and hidden copy/materialization events to support reproducible performance benchmarking.

This package contains functionality for regression standardization. Four general classes of models are allowed; generalized linear models, conditional generalized estimating equation models, Cox proportional hazards models and shared frailty gamma-Weibull models.

Introduction to some novel accurate hybrid methods of geostatistical and machine learning methods for spatial predictive modelling. It contains two commonly used geostatistical methods, two machine learning methods, four hybrid methods and two averaging methods. For each method, two functions are provided. One function is for assessing the predictive errors and accuracy of the method based on cross-validation. The other one is for generating spatial predictions using the method.

Reliability and agreement analyses often have limited software support. Therefore, this package was created to make agreement and reliability analyses easier for the average researcher. The functions within this package include simple tests of agreement, agreement analysis for nested and replicate data, and provide robust analyses of reliability. In addition, this package contains a set of functions to help when planning studies looking to assess measurement agreement.

This package provides a fast implementation of the SWAG algorithm for Generalized Linear Models which allows to perform a meta-learning procedure that combines screening and wrapper methods to find a set of extremely low-dimensional attribute combinations. The package then performs test on the network of selected models to identify the variables that are highly predictive by using entropy-based network measures.

An ADMM implementation of SDP-1, a semidefinite programming relaxation of the maximum likelihood estimator for fitting a block model. SDP-1 has a tendency to produce equal-sized blocks and is ideal for producing a form of network histogram approximating a nonparametric graphon model. Alternatively, it can be used for community detection. (This is experimental code, proceed with caution.).
