Obtaining accurate and stable estimates of regression coefficients can be challenging when the suggested statistical model has issues related to multicollinearity, convergence, or overfitting. One solution is to use principal component analysis (PCA) results in the regression, as discussed in Chan and Park (2005) <doi:10.1080/01446190500039812>. The swaprinc() package streamlines comparisons between a raw regression model with the full set of raw independent variables and a principal component regression model where principal components are estimated on a subset of the independent variables, then swapped into the regression model in place of those variables. The swaprinc() function compares one raw regression model to one principal component regression model, while the compswap() function compares one raw regression model to many principal component regression models. Package functions include parameters to center, scale, and undo centering and scaling, as described by Harvey and Hansen (2022) <https://cran.r-project.org/package=LearnPCA/vignettes/Vig_03_Step_By_Step_PCA.pdf>. Additionally, the package supports using Gifi methods to extract principal components from categorical variables, as outlined by Rossiter (2021) <https://www.css.cornell.edu/faculty/dgr2/_static/files/R_html/NonlinearPCA.html#2_Package>.

This package provides an all-in-one solution for automatic classification of sound events using convolutional neural networks (CNN). The main purpose is to provide a sound classification workflow, from annotating sound events in recordings to training and automating model usage in real-life situations. Using the package requires a pre-compiled collection of recordings with sound events of interest and it can be employed for: 1) Annotation: create a database of annotated recordings, 2) Training: prepare train data from annotated recordings and fit CNN models, 3) Classification: automate the use of the fitted model for classifying new recordings. By using automatic feature selection and a user-friendly GUI for managing data and training/deploying models, this package is intended to be used by a broad audience as it does not require specific expertise in statistics, programming or sound analysis.

An introduction to a couple of novel predictive variable selection methods for generalised boosted regression modeling (gbm). They are based on various variable influence methods (i.e., relative variable influence (RVI) and knowledge informed RVI (i.e., KIRVI, and KIRVI2)) that adopted similar ideas as AVI, KIAVI and KIAVI2 in the steprf package, and also based on predictive accuracy in stepwise algorithms. For details of the variable selection methods, please see: Li, J., Siwabessy, J., Huang, Z. and Nichol, S. (2019) <doi:10.3390/geosciences9040180>.

Facilitates probabilistic record linkage between infectious disease surveillance datasets (notifiable disease registers, outbreak line-lists), vaccination registries, and hospitalization records using methods based on Fellegi and Sunter (1969) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1969.10501049> and Sayers et al. (2016) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyv322>. The package provides core functions for data preparation, linkage, and analysis: clean_the_nest() standardizes variable names and formats across heterogeneous datasets; murmuration() performs machine learning-based record linkage using blocking variables and similarity metrics; molting() deidentifies datasets for secure sharing; homing() re-identifies previously deidentified datasets; plumage() identifies and categorizes comorbidities; and preening() creates analysis-ready variables including age categories and temporal groupings. Designed for epidemiological research linking acute and post-acute disease outcomes to vaccination status and healthcare utilization. Supports multiple linkage scenarios including case-to-vaccination, case-to-hospitalization, and event-based vaccination status determination (e.g., outbreak attendees, flight passengers, exposure site visitors).

This package implements multiple imputation of missing covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification. This is a modification of the popular FCS/chained equations multiple imputation approach, and allows imputation of missing covariate values from models which are compatible with the user specified substantive model.

Implementation of SING algorithm to extract joint and individual non-Gaussian components from two datasets. SING uses an objective function that maximizes the skewness and kurtosis of latent components with a penalty to enhance the similarity between subject scores. Unlike other existing methods, SING does not use PCA for dimension reduction, but rather uses non-Gaussianity, which can improve feature extraction.

Species sensitivity distributions are cumulative probability distributions which are fitted to toxicity concentrations for different species as described by Posthuma et al.(2001) <isbn:9781566705783>. The ssdtools package uses Maximum Likelihood to fit distributions such as the gamma, log-logistic, log-normal and log-normal log-normal mixture. Multiple distributions can be averaged using Akaike Information Criteria. Confidence intervals on hazard concentrations and proportions are produced by bootstrapping.
