The goal of vetiver is to provide fluent tooling to version, share, deploy, and monitor a trained model. Functions handle both recording and checking the model's input data prototype, and predicting from a remote API endpoint. The vetiver package is extensible, with generics that can support many kinds of models.

The Vega-Lite JavaScript framework provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, akin to ggplot or Tableau', that generates complete Vega specifications. Functions exist which enable building a valid spec from scratch or importing a previously created spec file. Functions also exist to export spec files and to generate code which will enable plots to be embedded in properly configured web pages. The default behavior is to generate an htmlwidget'.

This package implements a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method for estimation and prediction of Gaussian process-based spatially varying coefficient (SVC) models (Dambon et al. (2021a) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2020.100470>). Covariance tapering (Furrer et al. (2006) <doi:10.1198/106186006X132178>) can be applied such that the method scales to large data. Further, it implements a joint variable selection of the fixed and random effects (Dambon et al. (2021b) <doi:10.1080/13658816.2022.2097684>).

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.

Vector autoregressive (VAR) model is a fundamental and effective approach for multivariate time series analysis. Shrinkage estimation methods can be applied to high-dimensional VAR models with dimensionality greater than the number of observations, contrary to the standard ordinary least squares method. This package is an integrative package delivering nonparametric, parametric, and semiparametric methods in a unified and consistent manner, such as the multivariate ridge regression in Golub, Heath, and Wahba (1979) <doi:10.2307/1268518>, a James-Stein type nonparametric shrinkage method in Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2007) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-8-S2-S3>, and Bayesian estimation methods using noninformative and informative priors in Lee, Choi, and S.-H.

Additionally, it includes functions to perform manipulations on local Tableau workbooks.

This package provides methods for faster extraction (about 5x faster in a few test cases) of variance-covariance matrices and standard errors from models. Methods in the stats package tend to rely on the summary method, which may waste time computing other summary statistics which are summarily ignored.

Calibrates cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMF) estimates generated by computer-coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms from WHO-standardized verbal autopsy (VA) survey data. It leverages data from the multi-country Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) project <https://champshealth.org/>, which determines gold standard causes of death via Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling (MITS). By modeling the CHAMPS data using the misclassification matrix modeling framework proposed in Pramanik et al. (2025, <doi:10.1214/24-AOAS2006>), the package includes an inventory of 48 uncertainty-quantified misclassification matrices for three CCVA algorithms (EAVA, InSilicoVA, InterVA), two age groups (neonates aged 0-27 days and children aged 1-59 months), and eight "countries" (seven countries in CHAMPS -- Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, South Africa -- and an estimate for countries not in CHAMPS). Given a VA-only data for an age group, CCVA algorithm, and country, the package uses the corresponding uncertainty-quantified misclassification matrix estimates as an informative prior, and utilizes the modular VA-calibration to produce calibrated CSMF estimates. It also supports ensemble calibration when VA-only data are provided for multiple algorithms. More generally, the package can be applied to calibrate predictions from a discrete classifier (or ensemble of classifiers) utilizing user-provided fixed or uncertainty-quantified misclassification matrices. This work is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grant INV-034842.

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.
