This package implements a suite of shrinkage estimators for multivariate linear regression to improve estimation stability and predictive accuracy. Provides methods including the Stein estimator, Diagonal Shrinkage, the general Shrinkage estimator (solving a Sylvester equation), and Slab Regression (Simple and Generalized). These methods address Stein's paradox by introducing structured bias to reduce variance without requiring cross-validation, except for ShrinkageRR where the intensity is chosen by minimizing an explicit Mean Squared Error (MSE) criterion. Methods are based on Asimit, V., Cidota, M. A., Chen, Z., and Asimit, J. (2025) <https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35005/>.

Isolation forest is anomaly detection method introduced by the paper Isolation based Anomaly Detection (Liu, Ting and Zhou <doi:10.1145/2133360.2133363>).

Efficient procedures for fitting and cross-validating the structurally-regularized time-dependent Cox models.

This package provides the spatial sign correlation and the two-stage spatial sign correlation as well as a one-sample test for the correlation coefficient.

This package provides a comprehensive suite of functions to efficiently annotate mass spectra data. Motivated by the need for rapid and accurate chemical identification in high-resolution mass spectrometry, it integrates built-in chemical databases and high-performance C++ algorithms. Users can perform mass-to-charge (m/Z) and retention time searches, determine elemental compositions of molecules using heuristic rules, including specific isotopes, and annotate MS2 spectra with structural metrics using configurable chemistry rules.

This package provides peak functions, which enable us to detect peaks in time series. The methods implemented in this package are based on Girish Keshav Palshikar (2009) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228853276_Simple_Algorithms_for_Peak_Detection_in_Time-Series>.

Select best combination of auxiliary variables with certain criterion.

This package provides a minimalist implementation of model stacking by Wolpert (1992) <doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1> for boosted tree models. A classic, two-layer stacking model is implemented, where the first layer generates features using gradient boosting trees, and the second layer employs a logistic regression model that uses these features as inputs. Utilities for training the base models and parameters tuning are provided, allowing users to experiment with different ensemble configurations easily. It aims to provide a simple and efficient way to combine multiple gradient boosting models to improve predictive model performance and robustness.

This package provides a function that behaves nearly as base::source() but implements a caching mechanism on disk, project based. It allows to quasi source() R scripts that gather data but can fail or consume to much time to respond even if nothing new is expected. It comes with tools to check and execute on demand or when cache is invalid the script.

This package provides tools to define factorial simulation conditions and generate binary or ordinal item responses under common-factor and probit graded response model parameterizations. Supports multivariate normal and correlated gamma latent traits, reproducible replications, parameter conversion, and structured storage of generated datasets. The graded response model follows Samejima (1969).

The statistical tools in this package do one of four things: 1) Enhance basic statistical functions with more flexible inputs, smarter defaults, and richer, clearer, and ready-to-use output (e.g., t.test2()) 2) Produce publication-ready commonly needed figures with one line of code (e.g., plot_cdf()) 3) Implement novel analytical tools developed by the authors (e.g., twolines()) 4) Deliver niche functions of high value to the authors that are not easily available elsewhere (e.g., clear(), convert_to_sql(), resize_images()).

This package provides a-priori, post-hoc, and compromise power-analyses for structural equation models (SEM).

This package provides a time series causal inference model for Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) under spillover effect. SPORTSCausal (Spillover Time Series Causal Inference) separates treatment effect and spillover effect from given responses of experiment group and control group by predicting the response without treatment. It reports both effects by fitting the Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS) model based on CausalImpact', as described in Brodersen et al. (2015) <doi:10.1214/14-AOAS788>.

Converts the dates to different SAS date formats. In SAS dates are a special case of numeric values. Each day is assigned a specific numeric value, starting from January 1, 1960. This date is assigned the date value 0, and the next date has a date value of 1 and so on. The previous days to this date are represented by -1 , -2 and so on. With this approach, SAS can represent any date in the future or any date in the past. There are many date formats used in SAS to represent date-time. Here, we try to develop functions which will convert the date to different SAS date formats.

Tests coefficients with sandwich estimator of variance and with small samples. Regression types supported are gee, linear regression, and conditional logistic regression.

The cartogram heatmaps generated by the included methods are an alternative to choropleth maps for the United States and are based on work by the Washington Post graphics department in their report on "The states most threatened by trade" (<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/business/states-most-threatened-by-trade/>). "State bins" preserve as much of the geographic placement of the states as possible but have the look and feel of a traditional heatmap. Functions are provided that allow for use of a binned, discrete scale, a continuous scale or manually specified colors depending on what is needed for the underlying data.

This package provides additional convenience functions for gtsummary (Sjoberg et al. (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-053>) & gt tables, including automatic variable labeling from dictionaries, standardized missing value display, and consistent formatting helpers for streamlined table styling workflows.

This package implements stacked elastic net regression (Rauschenberger 2021 <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa535>). The elastic net generalises ridge and lasso regularisation (Zou 2005 <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2005.00503.x>). Instead of fixing or tuning the mixing parameter alpha, we combine multiple alpha by stacked generalisation (Wolpert 1992 <doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1>).

This package provides a very bare-bones interface to use the Metropolis-Hastings Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithm. It is suitable for teaching and testing purposes.

The estimation method proposed by Chen and Yi (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13331> is extended to the analysis of survival data, accommodating commonly used survival models while accounting for measurement error and network structures among covariates.

Fits univariate and multivariate spatio-temporal random effects models for point-referenced data using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Details are given in Finley, Banerjee, and Gelfand (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i13> and Finley and Banerjee <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2019.104608>.

Encapsulates a number of spatially balanced sampling algorithms, namely, Balanced Acceptance Sampling (equal, unequal, seed point, panels), Halton frames (for discretizing a continuous resource), Halton Iterative Partitioning (equal probability) and Simple Random Sampling.

Adds variable-selection functions for Beta regression models (both mean and phi submodels) so they can be used within the SelectBoost algorithm. Includes stepwise AIC, BIC, and corrected AIC on betareg() fits, gamlss'-based LASSO/Elastic-Net, a pure glmnet iterative re-weighted least squares-based selector with an optional standardization speedup, and C++ helpers for iterative re-weighted least squares working steps and precision updates. Also provides a fastboost_interval() variant for interval responses, comparison helpers, and a flexible simulator simulation_DATA.beta() for interval-valued data. For more details see Bertrand and Maumy (2023) <doi:10.7490/f1000research.1119552.1>.

Stagewise techniques implemented with Generalized Estimating Equations to handle individual, group, bi-level, and interaction selection. Stagewise approaches start with an empty model and slowly build the model over several iterations, which yields a path of candidate models from which model selection can be performed. This slow brewing approach gives stagewise techniques a unique flexibility that allows simple incorporation of Generalized Estimating Equations; see Vaughan, G., Aseltine, R., Chen, K., Yan, J., (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12669> for details.
