Entropy weighted k-means (ewkm) by Liping Jing, Michael K. Ng and Joshua Zhexue Huang (2007) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2007.1048> is a weighted subspace clustering algorithm that is well suited to very high dimensional data. Weights are calculated as the importance of a variable with regard to cluster membership. The two-level variable weighting clustering algorithm tw-k-means (twkm) by Xiaojun Chen, Xiaofei Xu, Joshua Zhexue Huang and Yunming Ye (2013) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2011.262> introduces two types of weights, the weights on individual variables and the weights on variable groups, and they are calculated during the clustering process. The feature group weighted k-means (fgkm) by Xiaojun Chen, Yunminng Ye, Xiaofei Xu and Joshua Zhexue Huang (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2011.06.004> extends this concept by grouping features and weighting the group in addition to weighting individual features.

This package implements the diagnostic "theta" developed in Poetscher and Preinerstorfer (2020) "How Reliable are Bootstrap-based Heteroskedasticity Robust Tests?" <arXiv:2005.04089>. This diagnostic can be used to detect and weed out bootstrap-based procedures that provably have size equal to one for a given testing problem. The implementation covers a large variety of bootstrap-based procedures, cf. the above mentioned article for details. A function for computing bootstrap p-values is provided.

Students learning both econometrics and R may find the introduction to both challenging. The wooldridge data package aims to lighten the task by efficiently loading any data set found in the text with a single command. Data sets have been compressed to a fraction of their original size. Documentation files contain page numbers, the original source, time of publication, and notes from the author suggesting avenues for further analysis and research. If one needs an introduction to R model syntax, a vignette contains solutions to examples from chapters of the text. Data sets are from the 7th edition (Wooldridge 2020, ISBN-13 978-1-337-55886-0), and are backwards compatible with all previous versions of the text.

This package provides a user-friendly factor-like interface for converting strings of text into numeric vectors and rectangular data structures.

An enhanced implementation of Whittaker-Henderson smoothing for the graduation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional actuarial tables used to quantify Life Insurance risks. WH is based on the methods described in Biessy (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2306.06932>. Among other features, it generalizes the original smoothing algorithm to maximum likelihood estimation, automatically selects the smoothing parameter(s) and extrapolates beyond the range of data.

This is a small, lightweight package that lets users investigate the distribution of genotypes in genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) data where they expect (by and large) Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in order to assess rates of genotyping errors and the dependence of those rates on read depth. It implements a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler using Rcpp to compute a Bayesian estimate of what we call the heterozygote miscall rate for restriction-associated digest (RAD) sequencing data and other types of reduced representation GBS data. It also provides functions to generate plots of expected and observed genotype frequencies. Some background on these topics can be found in a recent paper "Recent advances in conservation and population genomics data analysis" by Hendricks et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/eva.12659>, and another paper describing the MCMC approach is in preparation with Gordon Luikart and Thierry Gosselin.

The wavelet-based variance transformation method is used for system modelling and prediction. It refines predictor spectral representation using Wavelet Theory, which leads to improved model specifications and prediction accuracy. Details of methodologies used in the package can be found in Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2020) <doi:10.1029/2019WR026962>, Jiang, Z., Rashid, M. M., Johnson, F., & Sharma, A. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2020.104907>, and Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2021) <doi:10.1016/J.JHYDROL.2021.126816>.

Introduce weights into Ordered Weighted Averages and extend bivariate means based on n-ary tree construction. Please refer to the following: G. Beliakov, H. Bustince, and T. Calvo (2016, ISBN: 978-3-319-24753-3), G. Beliakov(2018) <doi:10.1002/int.21913>, G. Beliakov, J.J. Dujmovic (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.ins.2015.10.040>, J.J. Dujmovic and G. Beliakov (2017) <doi:10.1002/int.21828>.

Fits relative survival regression models with or without proportional excess hazards and with the additional possibility to correct for background mortality by one or more parameter(s). These models are relevant when the observed mortality in the studied group is not comparable to that of the general population or in population-based studies where the available life tables used for net survival estimation are insufficiently stratified. In the latter case, the proposed model by Touraine et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280218823234> can be used. The user can also fit a model that relaxes the proportional expected hazards assumption considered in the Touraine et al. excess hazard model. This extension was proposed by Mba et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12874-020-01139-z> to allow non-proportional effects of the additional variable on the general population mortality. In non-population-based studies, researchers can identify non-comparability source of bias in terms of expected mortality of selected individuals. An excess hazard model correcting this selection bias is presented in Goungounga et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12874-019-0747-3>. This class of model with a random effect at the cluster level on excess hazard is presented in Goungounga et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/bimj.202100210>.
