Computation of sparse portfolios for financial index tracking, i.e., joint selection of a subset of the assets that compose the index and computation of their relative weights (capital allocation). The level of sparsity of the portfolios, i.e., the number of selected assets, is controlled through a regularization parameter. Different tracking measures are available, namely, the empirical tracking error (ETE), downside risk (DR), Huber empirical tracking error (HETE), and Huber downside risk (HDR). See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the paper: K. Benidis, Y. Feng, and D. P. Palomar, "Sparse Portfolios for High-Dimensional Financial Index Tracking," IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, vol. 66, no. 1, pp. 155-170, Jan. 2018. <doi:10.1109/TSP.2017.2762286>.

Processor for selected ion flow tube mass spectrometer (SIFT-MS) output file from breath analysis. It allows the filtering of the SIFT output file (i.e., variation over time of the target analyte concentration) and the following analysis for the determination of: maximum, average, and standard deviation value of target concentration measured at each exhalation, and the respiratory rate over the measurement. Additionally, it is possible to align the SIFT-MS data with other on-line techniques such as cardio pulmonary exercise test (CPET) for a comprehensive characterization of breath samples.

Use stem analysis data to reconstructing tree growth and carbon accumulation. Users can independently or in combination perform a number of standard tasks for any tree species. (i) Age class determination. (ii) The cumulative growth, mean annual increment, and current annual increment of diameter at breast height (DBH) with bark, tree height, and stem volume with bark are estimated. (iii) Tree biomass and carbon storage estimation from volume and allometric models are calculated. (iv) Height-diameter relationship is fitted with nonlinear models, if diameter at breast height (DBH) or tree height are available, which can be used to retrieve tree height and diameter at breast height (DBH). <https://github.com/forestscientist/StemAnalysis>.

The SoundexBR package provides an algorithm for decoding names into phonetic codes, as pronounced in Portuguese. The goal is for homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling. The algorithm mainly encodes consonants; a vowel will not be encoded unless it is the first letter. The soundex code resultant consists of a four digits long string composed by one letter followed by three numerical digits: the letter is the first letter of the name, and the digits encode the remaining consonants.

The function generates and plots random snowflakes. Each snowflake is defined by a given diameter, width of the crystal, color, and random seed. Snowflakes are plotted in such way that they always remain round, no matter what the aspect ratio of the plot is. Snowflakes can be created using transparent colors, which creates a more interesting, somewhat realistic, image. Images of the snowflakes can be separately saved as svg files and used in websites as static or animated images.

This package contains various functions to be used for simulation education, including simple Monte Carlo simulation functions, queueing simulation functions, variate generation functions capable of producing independent streams and antithetic variates, functions for illustrating random variate generation for various discrete and continuous distributions, and functions to compute time-persistent statistics. Also contains functions for visualizing: event-driven details of a single-server queue model; a Lehmer random number generator; variate generation via acceptance-rejection; and of generating a non-homogeneous Poisson process via thinning. Also contains two queueing data sets (one fabricated, one real-world) to facilitate input modeling. More details on the use of these functions can be found in Lawson and Leemis (2015) <doi:10.1109/WSC.2017.8248124>, in Kudlay, Lawson, and Leemis (2020) <doi:10.1109/WSC48552.2020.9384010>, and in Lawson and Leemis (2021) <doi:10.1109/WSC52266.2021.9715299>.

This package provides a process-oriented and trajectory-based Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) package for R. It is designed as a generic yet powerful framework. The architecture encloses a robust and fast simulation core written in C++ with automatic monitoring capabilities. It provides a rich and flexible R API that revolves around the concept of trajectory, a common path in the simulation model for entities of the same type.

This package provides methods to detect structural changes in time series or random fields (spatial data). Focus is on the detection of abrupt changes or trends in independent data, but the package also provides a function to de-correlate data with dependence. The functions are based on the test suggested in Schmidt (2024) <DOI:10.3150/23-BEJ1686> and the work in Görz and Fried (2025) <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2512.11599>.

This package provides wrappers for common activity patterns in simmer trajectories.

The purpose of this package is to manipulate SVG files that are templates of charts the user wants to produce. In vector graphics one copes with x-/y-coordinates of elements (e.g. lines, rectangles, text). Their scale is often dependent on the program that is used to produce the graphics. In applied statistics one usually has numeric values on a fixed scale (e.g. percentage values between 0 and 100) to show in a chart. Basically, svgtools transforms the statistical values into coordinates and widths/heights of the vector graphics. This is done by stackedBar() for bar charts, by linesSymbols() for charts with lines and/or symbols (dot markers) and scatterSymbols() for scatterplots.
