Conversion of characters from unsupported Vietnamese character encodings to Unicode characters. These Vietnamese encodings (TCVN3, VISCII, VPS) are not natively supported in R and lead to printing of wrong characters and garbled text (mojibake). This package fixes that problem and provides readable output with the correct Unicode characters (with or without diacritics).

Generates interactive plots for analysing and visualising three-class high dimensional data. It is particularly suited to visualising differences in continuous attributes such as gene/protein/biomarker expression levels between three groups. Differential gene/biomarker expression analysis between two classes is typically shown as a volcano plot. However, with three groups this type of visualisation is particularly difficult to interpret. This package generates 3D volcano plots and 3-way polar plots for easier interpretation of three-class data.

Also includes simplified formulae, such as mode(), scatter(), p.corr(), ow.anova(), and rm.anova().

Models categorical time series through a Markov Chain when a) covariates are predictors for transitioning into the next state/symbol and b) when the dependence in the past states has variable length. The probability of transitioning to the next state in the Markov Chain is defined by a multinomial regression whose parameters depend on the past states of the chain and, moreover, the number of states in the past needed to predict the next state also depends on the observed states themselves. See Zambom, Kim, and Garcia (2022) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12615>.

Although model selection is ubiquitous in scientific discovery, the stability and uncertainty of the selected model is often hard to evaluate. How to characterize the random behavior of the model selection procedure is the key to understand and quantify the model selection uncertainty. This R package offers several graphical tools to visualize the distribution of the selected model. For example, Gplot(), Hplot(), VDSM_scatterplot() and VDSM_heatmap(). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to visualize such a distribution. About what distribution of selected model is and how it work please see Qin,Y.and Wang,L. (2021) "Visualization of Model Selection Uncertainty" <https://homepages.uc.edu/~qinyn/VDSM/VDSM.html>.

Tool for easy and efficient discretization of continuous and categorical data. The package calculates the most optimal binning of a given explanatory variable with respect to a user-specified target variable. The purpose is to assign a unique Weight-of-Evidence value to each of the calculated binpoints in order to recode the original variable. The package allows users to impose certain restrictions on the functional form on the resulting binning while maximizing the overall information value in the original data. The package is well suited for logistic scoring models where input variables may be subject to restrictions such as linearity by e.g. regulatory authorities. An excellent source describing in detail the development of scorecards, and the role of Weight-of-Evidence coding in credit scoring is (Siddiqi 2006, ISBN: 978â 0-471â 75451â 0). The package utilizes the discrete nature of decision trees and Isotonic Regression to accommodate the trade-off between flexible functional forms and maximum information value.

Variance function estimation for models proposed by W. Sadler in his variance function program ('VFP', www.aacb.asn.au/AACB/Resources/Variance-Function-Program). Here, the idea is to fit multiple variance functions to a data set and consequently assess which function reflects the relationship Var ~ Mean best. For in-vitro diagnostic ('IVD') assays modeling this relationship is of great importance when individual test-results are used for defining follow-up treatment of patients.
