Estimates hierarchical models using variational inference. At present, it can estimate logistic, linear, and negative binomial models. It can accommodate models with an arbitrary number of random effects and requires no integration to estimate. It also provides the ability to improve the quality of the approximation using marginal augmentation. Goplerud (2022) <doi:10.1214/21-BA1266> and Goplerud (2024) <doi:10.1017/S0003055423000035> provide details on the variational algorithms.

Facilitates use and analysis of data about the armed conflict in Colombia resulting from the joint project between La Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP), La Comisión para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No repetición (CEV), and the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG). The data are 100 replicates from a multiple imputation through chained equations as described in Van Buuren and Groothuis-Oudshoorn (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v045.i03>. With the replicates the user can examine four human rights violations that occurred in the Colombian conflict accounting for the impact of missing fields and fully missing observations.

An implementation of Vasicek and Song goodness-of-fit tests. Several functions are provided to estimate differential Shannon entropy, i.e., estimate Shannon entropy of real random variables with density, and test the goodness-of-fit of some family of distributions, including uniform, Gaussian, log-normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, Pareto, Fisher, Laplace and beta distributions; see Lequesne and Regnault (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v096.c01>.

This package implements functions for varying coefficient meta-analysis methods. These methods do not assume effect size homogeneity. Subgroup effect size comparisons, general linear effect size contrasts, and linear models of effect sizes based on varying coefficient methods can be used to describe effect size heterogeneity. Varying coefficient meta-analysis methods do not require the unrealistic assumptions of the traditional fixed-effect and random-effects meta-analysis methods. For details see: Statistical Methods for Psychologists, Volume 5, <https://dgbonett.sites.ucsc.edu/>.

This package provides a framework to infer causality on a pair of time series of real numbers based on variable-lag Granger causality and transfer entropy. Typically, Granger causality and transfer entropy have an assumption of a fixed and constant time delay between the cause and effect. However, for a non-stationary time series, this assumption is not true. For example, considering two time series of velocity of person A and person B where B follows A. At some time, B stops tying his shoes, then running to catch up A. The fixed-lag assumption is not true in this case. We propose a framework that allows variable-lags between cause and effect in Granger causality and transfer entropy to allow them to deal with variable-lag non-stationary time series. Please see Chainarong Amornbunchornvej, Elena Zheleva, and Tanya Berger-Wolf (2021) <doi:10.1145/3441452> when referring to this package in publications.

An implementation of three procedures developed by John Tukey: FUNOP (FUll NOrmal Plot), FUNOR-FUNOM (FUll NOrmal Rejection-FUll NOrmal Modification), and vacuum cleaner. Combined, they provide a way to identify, treat, and analyze outliers in two-way (i.e., contingency) tables, as described in his landmark paper "The Future of Data Analysis", Tukey, John W.

This package provides a visualization for characterizing subgroups defined by a decision tree structure. The visualization simplifies the ability to interpret individual pathways to subgroups; each sub-plot describes the distribution of observations within individual terminal nodes and percentile ranges for the associated inner nodes.

Built on graph theory and the high-performance data.table framework, this package provides a comprehensive suite of tools for tidying, pruning, and visualizing animal pedigrees. By modeling pedigrees as directed acyclic graphs using igraph', it ensures robust loop detection, efficient generation assignment, and sophisticated hierarchical layouts. Key features include standardizing pedigree formats, flexible ancestry tracing, and generating legible vector-based PDF graphs. A unique compaction algorithm enables the visualization of massive pedigrees (e.g., in aquaculture selective breeding population) by grouping full-sib families, maintaining structural clarity without overcrowding.
