Stepwise regression is a statistical technique used for model selection. This package streamlines stepwise regression analysis by supporting multiple regression types(linear, Cox, logistic, Poisson, Gamma, and negative binomial), incorporating popular selection strategies(forward, backward, bidirectional, and subset), and offering essential metrics. It enables users to apply multiple selection strategies and metrics in a single function call, visualize variable selection processes, and export results in various formats. StepReg offers a data-splitting option to address potential issues with invalid statistical inference and a randomized forward selection option to avoid overfitting. We validated StepReg's accuracy using public datasets within the SAS software environment. For an interactive web interface, users can install the companion StepRegShiny package.

We provide functionality to implement penalized PCA with an option to smooth the objective function using Nesterov smoothing. Two functions are available to compute a user-specified number of eigenvectors. The function unsmoothed_penalized_EV() computes a penalized PCA without smoothing and has three parameters (the input matrix, the Lasso penalty, and the number of desired eigenvectors). The function smoothed_penalized_EV() computes a smoothed penalized PCA using the same parameters and additionally requires the specification of a smoothing parameter. Both functions return a matrix having the desired eigenvectors as columns.

This package provides a specialized selection algorithm designed to align simulated fire perimeters with specific fire size distribution scenarios. The foundation of this approach lies in generating a vast collection of plausible simulated fires across a wide range of conditions, assuming a random pattern of ignition. The algorithm then assembles individual fire perimeters based on their specific probabilities of occurrence, e.g., determined by (i) the likelihood of ignition and (ii) the probability of particular fire-weather scenarios, including wind speed and direction. Implements the method presented in Rodrigues (2025a) <doi:10.5194/egusphere-egu25-8974>. Demo data and code examples can be found in Rodrigues (2025b) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.15282605>.

For making Trellis-type conditioning plots without strip labels. This is useful for displaying the structure of results from factorial designs and other studies when many conditioning variables would clutter the display with layers of redundant strip labels. Settings of the variables are encoded by layout and spacing in the trellis array and decoded by a separate legend. The functionality is implemented by a single S3 generic strucplot() function that is a wrapper for the Lattice package's xyplot() function. This allows access to all Lattice graphics capabilities in the usual way.

An object oriented framework to simulate ecological (and other) dynamic systems. It can be used for differential equations, individual-based (or agent-based) and other models as well. It supports structuring of simulation scenarios (to avoid copy and paste) and aims to improve readability and re-usability of code.

Determining potential output and the output gap - two inherently unobservable variables - is a major challenge for macroeconomists. sectorgap features a flexible modeling and estimation framework for a multivariate Bayesian state space model identifying economic output fluctuations consistent with subsectors of the economy. The proposed model is able to capture various correlations between output and a set of aggregate as well as subsector indicators. Estimation of the latent states and parameters is achieved using a simple Gibbs sampling procedure and various plotting options facilitate the assessment of the results. For details on the methodology and an illustrative example, see Streicher (2024) <https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/653682>.

An algorithm that trains a meta-learning procedure that combines screening and wrapper methods to find a set of extremely low-dimensional attribute combinations. This package works on top of the caret package and proceeds in a forward-step manner. More specifically, it builds and tests learners starting from very few attributes until it includes a maximal number of attributes by increasing the number of attributes at each step. Hence, for each fixed number of attributes, the algorithm tests various (randomly selected) learners and picks those with the best performance in terms of training error. Throughout, the algorithm uses the information coming from the best learners at the previous step to build and test learners in the following step. In the end, it outputs a set of strong low-dimensional learners.
