This package implements sparse generalized factor models (sparseGFM) for dimension reduction and variable selection in high-dimensional data with automatic adaptation to weak factor scenarios. The package supports multiple data types (continuous, count, binary) through generalized linear model frameworks and handles missing values automatically. It provides 12 different penalty functions including Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso), adaptive Lasso, Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD), Minimax Concave Penalty (MCP), group Lasso, and their adaptive versions for inducing row-wise sparsity in factor loadings. Key features include cross-validation for regularization parameter selection using Sparsity Information Criterion (SIC), automatic determination of the number of factors via multiple information criteria, and specialized algorithms for row-sparse loading structures. The methodology employs alternating minimization with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)-based identifiability constraints and is particularly effective for high-dimensional applications in genomics, economics, and social sciences where interpretable sparse dimension reduction is crucial. For penalty functions, see Tibshirani (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02080.x>, Fan and Li (2001) <doi:10.1198/016214501753382273>, and Zhang (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOS729>.

Identifying spatially variable genes is critical in linking molecular cell functions with tissue phenotypes. This package utilizes a granularity-based dimension-agnostic tool, single-cell big-small patch (scBSP), implementing sparse matrix operation and KD tree methods for distance calculation, for the identification of spatially variable genes on large-scale data. The detailed description of this method is available at Wang, J. and Li, J. et al. 2023 (Wang, J. and Li, J. (2023), <doi:10.1038/s41467-023-43256-5>).

This package provides a toolkit for Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes (POMDP). Provides bindings to C++ libraries implementing the algorithm SARSOP (Successive Approximations of the Reachable Space under Optimal Policies) and described in Kurniawati et al (2008), <doi:10.15607/RSS.2008.IV.009>. This package also provides a high-level interface for generating, solving and simulating POMDP problems and their solutions.

The predictive value of a statistical model can often be improved by applying shrinkage methods. This can be achieved, e.g., by regularized regression or empirical Bayes approaches. Various types of shrinkage factors can also be estimated after a maximum likelihood. While global shrinkage modifies all regression coefficients by the same factor, parameterwise shrinkage factors differ between regression coefficients. With variables which are either highly correlated or associated with regard to contents, such as several columns of a design matrix describing a nonlinear effect, parameterwise shrinkage factors are not interpretable and a compromise between global and parameterwise shrinkage, termed joint shrinkage', is a useful extension. A computational shortcut to resampling-based shrinkage factor estimation based on DFBETA residuals can be applied. Global, parameterwise and joint shrinkage for models fitted by lm(), glm(), coxph(), or mfp() is available.

Univariate stratification of survey populations with a generalization of the Lavallee-Hidiroglou method of stratum construction. The generalized method takes into account a discrepancy between the stratification variable and the survey variable. The determination of the optimal boundaries also incorporate, if desired, an anticipated non-response, a take-all stratum for large units, a take-none stratum for small units, and a certainty stratum to ensure that some specific units are in the sample. The well known cumulative root frequency rule of Dalenius and Hodges and the geometric rule of Gunning and Horgan are also implemented.

This package implements the Stable Balancing Weights by Zubizarreta (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>. These are the weights of minimum variance that approximately balance the empirical distribution of the observed covariates.

To solve the optimization problem in sbw', the default solver is quadprog', which is readily available through CRAN. The solver osqp is also posted on CRAN. To enhance the performance of sbw', users are encouraged to install other solvers such as gurobi and Rmosek', which require special installation. For the installation of gurobi and pogs, please follow the instructions at <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r.html> and <http://foges.github.io/pogs/stp/r>.

This package implements a spatially varying change point model with unique intercepts, slopes, variance intercepts and slopes, and change points at each location. Inference is within the Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and the five spatially varying parameter are modeled jointly using a multivariate conditional autoregressive (MCAR) prior. The MCAR is a unique process that allows for a dissimilarity metric to dictate the local spatial dependencies. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in the corresponding paper published in Spatial Statistics by Berchuck et al (2019): "A spatially varying change points model for monitoring glaucoma progression using visual field data", <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2019.02.001>.

The goal of siteymlgen is to make it easy to organise the building of your R Markdown website. The init() function placed within the first code chunk of the index.Rmd file of an R project directory will initiate the generation of an automatically written _site.yml file. siteymlgen recommends a specific naming convention for your R Markdown files. This naming will ensure that your navbar layout is ordered according to a hierarchy.

The Hypothesis tests for the means of independent or paired groups. This package investigates the normality assumption automatically. Then, it tests the hypothesis tests for two independent or paired group means by using parametric or non-parametric tests. It uses the Shapiro-Wilk test to test the normality assumption. For independent two groups, If data comes from the normal distribution, the package uses the Z or t-test according to whether variances are known. For paired groups, it uses paired t-test under normal data sets. If data does not come from the normal distribution, the package uses the Wilcoxon test for independent and paired cases.

Simulation methods for the Fisher Bingham distribution on the unit sphere, the matrix Bingham distribution on a Grassmann manifold, the matrix Fisher distribution on SO(3), and the bivariate von Mises sine model on the torus. The methods use an acceptance/rejection simulation algorithm for the Bingham distribution and are described fully by Kent, Ganeiber and Mardia (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1390468>. These methods supersede earlier MCMC simulation methods and are more general than earlier simulation methods. The methods can be slower in specific situations where there are existing non-MCMC simulation methods (see Section 8 of Kent, Ganeiber and Mardia (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1390468> for further details).
