Calculates a Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-squared difference test between nested models that were estimated using maximum likelihood (ML) with robust standard errors, which cannot be calculated the traditional way. For details see Satorra & Bentler (2001) <doi:10.1007/bf02296192> and Satorra & Bentler (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9135-y>. This package may be particularly helpful when used in conjunction with Mplus software, specifically when implementing the complex survey option. In such cases, the model estimator in Mplus defaults to ML with robust standard errors.

Implementation of a shiny app to easily compare supervised machine learning model performances. You provide the data and configure each model parameter directly on the shiny app. Different supervised learning algorithms can be tested either on Spark or H2O frameworks to suit your regression and classification tasks. Implementation of available machine learning models on R has been done by Lantz (2013, ISBN:9781782162148).

The objective of these functions is to derive a species assemblage that satisfies a functional trait profile. Restoring resilient ecosystems requires a flexible framework for selecting assemblages that are based on the functional traits of species. However, current trait-based models have been limited to algorithms that can only select species by optimising specific trait values, and could not elegantly accommodate the common desire among restoration ecologists to produce functionally diverse assemblages. We have solved this problem by applying a non-linear optimisation algorithm that optimises Rao Q, a closed-form functional trait diversity index that incorporates species abundances, subject to other linear constraints. This framework generalises previous models that only optimised the entropy of the community, and can optimise both functional diversity and entropy simultaneously. This package can also be used to generate experimental assemblages to test the effects of community-level traits on community dynamics and ecosystem function. The method is based on theory discussed in Laughlin (2014, Ecology Letters) <doi:10.1111/ele.12288>.

Machine learning provides algorithms that can learn from data and make inferences or predictions. Stochastic automata is a class of input/output devices which can model components. This work provides implementation an inference algorithm for stochastic automata which is similar to the Viterbi algorithm. Moreover, we specify a learning algorithm using the expectation-maximization technique and provide a more efficient implementation of the Baum-Welch algorithm for stochastic automata. This work is based on Inference and learning in stochastic automata was by Karl-Heinz Zimmermann(2017) <doi:10.12732/ijpam.v115i3.15>.

Copula based Cox proportional hazards models for survival data subject to dependent censoring. This approach does not assume that the parameter defining the copula is known. The dependency parameter is estimated with other finite model parameters by maximizing a Pseudo likelihood function. The cumulative hazard function is estimated via estimating equations derived based on martingale ideas. Available copula functions include Frank, Gumbel and Normal copulas. Only Weibull and lognormal models are allowed for the censoring model, even though any parametric model that satisfies certain identifiability conditions could be used. Implemented methods are described in the article "Copula based Cox proportional hazards models for dependent censoring" by Deresa and Van Keilegom (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2022.2161387>.
