Random generation, density function and parameter estimation for the Voigt distribution. The main objective of this package is to provide R users with efficient estimation of Voigt parameters using classic iid data in a Bayesian framework. The estimating function allows flexible prior specification, specification of fixed parameters and several options for Markov Chain Monte Carlo posterior simulation. A basic version of the algorithm is described in: Cannas M. and Piras, N. (2025) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-96303-2_53>.

This package implements the Variable importance Explainable Elastic Shape Analysis pipeline for explainable machine learning with functional data inputs. Converts training and testing data functional inputs to elastic shape analysis principal components that account for vertical and/or horizontal variability. Computes feature importance to identify important principal components and visualizes variability captured by functional principal components. See Goode et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2501.07602> for technical details about the methodology.

This package provides a minimal columnar query engine with lazy execution on datasets larger than RAM. Provides dplyr'-like verbs (filter(), select(), mutate(), group_by(), summarise(), joins, window functions) and common aggregations (n(), sum(), mean(), min(), max(), sd(), first(), last()) backed by a pure C11 pull-based execution engine and a custom on-disk format ('.vtr'). Reads and writes GeoTIFF (including tiled and BigTIFF layouts) and a tiled raster format ('.vec') with overview pyramids and time cubes for larger-than-RAM raster data.

Implementation of a Monte Carlo simulation engine for valuing synthetic portfolios of variable annuities, which reflect realistic features of common annuity contracts in practice. It aims to facilitate the development and dissemination of research related to the efficient valuation of a portfolio of large variable annuities. The main valuation methodology was proposed by Gan (2017) <doi:10.1515/demo-2017-0021>.

This package contains logic for cell-specific gene set scoring of single cell RNA sequencing data.

If f <- function(x)x^2 and g <- function(x)x+1 it is a constant source of annoyance that "f+g" is not defined. Package vfunc allows you to do this, and we have (f+g)(2) returning 5. The other arithmetic operators are similarly implemented. A wide class of coding bugs is eliminated.

Generate suggestions for validation rules from a reference data set, which can be used as a starting point for domain specific rules to be checked with package validate'.

This package implements the Vine Copula Change Point (VCCP) methodology for the estimation of the number and location of multiple change points in the vine copula structure of multivariate time series. The method uses vine copulas, various state-of-the-art segmentation methods to identify multiple change points, and a likelihood ratio test or the stationary bootstrap for inference. The vine copulas allow for various forms of dependence between time series including tail, symmetric and asymmetric dependence. The functions have been extensively tested on simulated multivariate time series data and fMRI data. For details on the VCCP methodology, please see Xiong & Cribben (2021).

Vital Operational Waiting Risk (VOWR) provides tools for analysing monthly Referral-to-Treatment (RTT) panel data in healthcare systems. The package supports provider-level profiling, operational risk classification, waiting-time volatility assessment, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox proportional hazards modelling, and visualisation of time-to-threshold breach patterns. It is designed to help analysts and decision-makers identify providers with high waiting times, unstable performance, and increased risk of earlier threshold breach. The survival modelling methods follow Cox (1972) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1972.tb00899.x> and Kaplan and Meier (1958) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1958.10501452>.

This package provides methods to calculate diagnostics for multicollinearity among predictors in a linear or generalized linear model. It also provides methods to visualize those diagnostics following Friendly & Kwan (2009), "Whereâ s Waldo: Visualizing Collinearity Diagnostics", <doi:10.1198/tast.2009.0012>. These include better tabular presentation of collinearity diagnostics that highlight the important numbers, a semi-graphic tableplot of the diagnostics to make warning and danger levels more salient, and a "collinearity biplot" of the smallest dimensions of predictor space, where collinearity is most apparent.

Applies affine and similarity transformations on vector spatial data (sp objects). Transformations can be defined from control points or directly from parameters. If redundant control points are provided Least Squares is applied allowing to obtain residuals and RMSE.

Create adjacency matrices of vocalisation graphs from dataframes containing sequences of speech and silence intervals, transforming these matrices into Markov diagrams, and generating datasets for classification of these diagrams by flattening them and adding global properties (functionals) etc. Vocalisation diagrams date back to early work in psychiatry (Jaffe and Feldstein, 1970) and social psychology (Dabbs and Ruback, 1987) but have only recently been employed as a data representation method for machine learning tasks including meeting segmentation (Luz, 2012) <doi:10.1145/2328967.2328970> and classification (Luz, 2013) <doi:10.1145/2522848.2533788>.

Mainly data sets to accompany the VGAM package and the book "Vector Generalized Linear and Additive Models: With an Implementation in R" (Yee, 2015) <DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-2818-7>. These are used to illustrate vector generalized linear and additive models (VGLMs/VGAMs), and associated models (Reduced-Rank VGLMs, Quadratic RR-VGLMs, Row-Column Interaction Models, and constrained and unconstrained ordination models in ecology). This package now contains some old VGAM family functions which have been replaced by newer ones (often because they are now special cases).

This package provides a reference implementation of the Vertical Weighted Strips method explored by Raim, Livsey, and Irimata (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2401.09696> for rejection sampling.

This package contains functions for a variational Bayesian method for sparse PCA proposed by Ning (2020) <arXiv:2102.00305>. There are two algorithms: the PX-CAVI algorithm (if assuming the loadings matrix is jointly row-sparse) and the batch PX-CAVI algorithm (if without this assumption). The outputs of the main function, VBsparsePCA(), include the mean and covariance of the loadings matrix, the score functions, the variable selection results, and the estimated variance of the random noise.

Method to perform penalized variance component analysis.

This package provides a general framework for constructing variable importance plots from various types of machine learning models in R. Aside from some standard model- specific variable importance measures, this package also provides model- agnostic approaches that can be applied to any supervised learning algorithm. These include 1) an efficient permutation-based variable importance measure, 2) variable importance based on Shapley values (Strumbelj and Kononenko, 2014) <doi:10.1007/s10115-013-0679-x>, and 3) the variance-based approach described in Greenwell et al. (2018) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1805.04755>. A variance-based method for quantifying the relative strength of interaction effects is also included (see the previous reference for details).

Extending the functionalities of the VGAM package with additional functions and datasets. At present, VGAMextra comprises new family functions (ffs) to estimate several time series models by maximum likelihood using Fisher scoring, unlike popular packages in CRAN relying on optim(), including ARMA-GARCH-like models, the Order-(p, d, q) ARIMAX model (non- seasonal), the Order-(p) VAR model, error correction models for cointegrated time series, and ARMA-structures with Student-t errors. For independent data, new ffs to estimate the inverse- Weibull, the inverse-gamma, the generalized beta of the second kind and the general multivariate normal distributions are available. In addition, VGAMextra incorporates new VGLM-links for the mean-function, and the quantile-function (as an alternative to ordinary quantile modelling) of several 1-parameter distributions, that are compatible with the class of VGLM/VGAM family functions. Currently, only fixed-effects models are implemented. All functions are subject to change; see the NEWS for further details on the latest changes.
