Simulating bivariate survival data from copula models. Estimation of the association parameter in copula models. Two different ways to estimate the association parameter in copula models are implemented. A goodness-of-fit test for a given copula model is implemented. See Emura, Lin and Wang (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2010.03.013> for details.

Optimization solver based on the Cross-Entropy method.

Estimate and return the needed parameters for visualisations designed for OpenBudgets <http://openbudgets.eu/> data. Calculate cluster analysis measures in Budget data of municipalities across Europe, according to the OpenBudgets data model. It involves a set of techniques and algorithms used to find and divide the data into groups of similar observations. Also, can be used generally to extract visualisation parameters convert them to JSON format and use them as input in a different graphical interface.

Estimation, testing and regression modeling of subdistribution functions in competing risks using quantile regressions, as described in Peng and Fine (2009) <DOI:10.1198/jasa.2009.tm08228>.

The level-dependent cross-validation method is implemented for the selection of thresholding value in wavelet shrinkage. This procedure is implemented by coupling a conventional cross validation with an imputation method due to a limitation of data length, a power of 2. It can be easily applied to classical leave-one-out and k-fold cross validation. Since the procedure is computationally fast, a level-dependent cross validation can be performed for wavelet shrinkage of various data such as a data with correlated errors.

Estimate different types of cluster robust standard errors (CR0, CR1, CR2) with degrees of freedom adjustments. Standard errors are computed based on Liang and Zeger (1986) <doi:10.1093/biomet/73.1.13> and Bell and McCaffrey <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/pub/12-001-x/2002002/article/9058-eng.pdf?st=NxMjN1YZ>.

Estimating mutation and selection coefficients on synonymous codon bias usage based on models of ribosome overhead cost (ROC). Multinomial logistic regression and Markov Chain Monte Carlo are used to estimate and predict protein production rates with/without the presence of expressions and measurement errors. Work flows with examples for simulation, estimation and prediction processes are also provided with parallelization speedup. The whole framework is tested with yeast genome and gene expression data of Yassour, et al. (2009) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0812841106>.

Calculates equitable overload compensation for college instructors based on institutional policies, enrollment thresholds, and regular teaching load limits. Compensation is awarded only for credit hours that exceed the regular load and meet minimum enrollment criteria. When enrollment is below a specified threshold, pay is prorated accordingly. The package prioritizes compensation from high-enrollment courses, or optionally from low-enrollment courses for fairness, depending on user-defined strategy. Includes tools for flexible policy settings, instructor filtering, and produces clean, audit-ready summary tables suitable for payroll and administrative reporting.

Calculates the credit debt for the next period based on the available data using the cross-classification credibility model.

Additive copula regression for regression problems with binary outcome via gradient boosting [Brant, Hobæk Haff (2022); <arXiv:2208.04669>]. The fitting process includes a specialised model selection algorithm for each component, where each component is found (by greedy optimisation) among all the D-vines with only Gaussian pair-copulas of a fixed dimension, as specified by the user. When the variables and structure have been selected, the algorithm then re-fits the component where the pair-copula distributions can be different from Gaussian, if specified.

Transforms your uncalibrated Machine Learning scores to well-calibrated prediction estimates that can be interpreted as probability estimates. The implemented BBQ (Bayes Binning in Quantiles) model is taken from Naeini (2015, ISBN:0-262-51129-0). Please cite this paper: Schwarz J and Heider D, Bioinformatics 2019, 35(14):2458-2465.

Regression splines that handle a mix of continuous and categorical (discrete) data often encountered in applied settings. I would like to gratefully acknowledge support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC, <https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca>), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC, <https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca>), and the Shared Hierarchical Academic Research Computing Network (SHARCNET, <https://www.sharcnet.ca>). We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of the GNU GSL authors. In particular, we adapt the GNU GSL B-spline routine gsl_bspline.c adding automated support for quantile knots (in addition to uniform knots), providing missing functionality for derivatives, and for extending the splines beyond their endpoints.

Package to assess the calibration of probabilistic classifiers using confidence bands for monotonic functions. Besides testing the classical goodness-of-fit null hypothesis of perfect calibration, the confidence bands calculated within that package facilitate inverted goodness-of-fit tests whose rejection allows for a sought-after conclusion of a sufficiently well-calibrated model. The package creates flexible graphical tools to perform these tests. For construction details see also Dimitriadis, Dümbgen, Henzi, Puke, Ziegel (2022) <arXiv:2203.04065>.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems provide real-time, dynamic glucose information by tracking interstitial glucose values throughout the day. Glycemic variability, also known as glucose variability, is an established risk factor for hypoglycemia (Kovatchev) and has been shown to be a risk factor in diabetes complications. Over 20 metrics of glycemic variability have been identified. Here, we provide functions to calculate glucose summary metrics, glucose variability metrics (as defined in clinical publications), and visualizations to visualize trends in CGM data.

Modeling periodic mortality (or other time-to event) processes from right-censored data. Given observations of a process with a known period (e.g. 365 days, 24 hours), functions determine the number, intensity, timing, and duration of peaks of periods of elevated hazard within a period. The underlying model is a mixed wrapped Cauchy function fitted using maximum likelihoods (details in Gurarie et al. (2020) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13305>). The development of these tools was motivated by the strongly seasonal mortality patterns observed in many wild animal populations. Thus, the respective periods of higher mortality can be identified as "mortality seasons".

Google's Compact Language Detector 3 is a neural network model for language identification and the successor of cld2 (available from CRAN). The algorithm is still experimental and takes a novel approach to language detection with different properties and outcomes. It can be useful to combine this with the Bayesian classifier results from cld2'. See <https://github.com/google/cld3#readme> for more information.
