Allows to provide live interpretations and explanations of statistical functions in R. These interpretations and explanations are shown when the explained function is called by the user. They can interact with the values of the explained function's actual results to offer relevant, meaningful insights. The xplain interpretations and explanations are based on an easy-to-use XML format that allows to include R code to interact with the returns of the explained function.

This package provides a consistent interface for common feature importance methods as described in Ewald et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-63797-1_22>, including permutation feature importance (PFI), conditional and relative feature importance (CFI, RFI), leave one covariate out (LOCO), and Shapley additive global importance (SAGE), as well as feature sampling mechanisms to support conditional importance methods.

An implementation of the RuleFit algorithm as described in Friedman & Popescu (2008) <doi:10.1214/07-AOAS148>. eXtreme Gradient Boosting ('XGBoost') is used to build rules, and glmnet is used to fit a sparse linear model on the raw and rule features. The result is a model that learns similarly to a tree ensemble, while often offering improved interpretability and achieving improved scoring runtime in live applications. Several algorithms for reducing rule complexity are provided, most notably hyperrectangle de-overlapping. All algorithms scale to several million rows and support sparse representations to handle tens of thousands of dimensions.

This package implements an iterative mean-variance panel regression estimator that allows both the mean and variance of the dependent variable to be functions of covariates. The method alternates between estimating a mean equation (using generalized linear models with Gaussian family) and a variance equation (using generalized linear models with Gamma family on squared within-group residuals) until convergence. Based on the methodology in Mooi-Reci and Liao (2025) <doi:10.1093/esr/jcae052>.

The US Census Bureau offers both source and binary versions -- which this package integrates for use by other R packages.

Derivation tree operations are needed for implementing grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution: Generating a random derivation trees of a context-free grammar of bounded depth, decoding a derivation tree, choosing a random node in a derivation tree, extracting a tree whose root is a specified node, and inserting a subtree into a derivation tree at a specified node. These operations are necessary for the initialization and for decoders of a random population of programs, as well as for implementing crossover and mutation operators. Depth-bounds are guaranteed by switching to a grammar without recursive production rules. For executing the examples, the package BNF is needed. The basic tree operations for generating, extracting, and inserting derivation trees as well as the conditions for guaranteeing complete derivation trees have been presented in Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X). The use of random integer vectors for the generation of derivation trees has been introduced in Ryan, C., Collins, J. J., and O'Neill, M. (1998) <doi:10.1007/BFb0055930> for grammatical evolution.
