An implementation of the 1-Sample Wilcoxon Sign rank test for medians. It includes 2 functions, W_stat(), which computes the exact probabilities of the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test Statistic, W. The second function, Wilcox.m.test() allows the user to conduct the 1-Sample Wilcoxon Sign Rank hypothesis test for medians, this also allows the user to conduct the hypothesis test for the normal approximation, based on the techniques of Bickel and Doksum (1973, ISBN:013850363X).

Generates random data sets including: data.frames, lists, and vectors.

Computationally easy modeling, interpolation, forecasting of massive temporal-spacial data.

This package provides a conditional independence test that can be applied both to univariate and multivariate random variables. The test is based on a weighted form of the sample covariance of the residuals after a nonlinear regression on the conditioning variables. Details are described in Scheidegger, Hoerrmann and Buehlmann (2022) "The Weighted Generalised Covariance Measure" <http://jmlr.org/papers/v23/21-1328.html>. The test is a generalisation of the Generalised Covariance Measure (GCM) implemented in the R package GeneralisedCovarianceMeasure by Jonas Peters and Rajen D. Shah based on Shah and Peters (2020) "The Hardness of Conditional Independence Testing and the Generalised Covariance Measure" <doi:10.1214/19-AOS1857>.

Wavelet decomposes a series into multiple sub series called detailed and smooth components which helps to capture volatility at multi resolution level by various models. Two hybrid Machine Learning (ML) models (Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Regression have been used) have been developed in combination with stochastic models, feature selection, and optimization algorithms for prediction of the data. The algorithms have been developed following Paul and Garai (2021) <doi:10.1007/s00500-021-06087-4>.

An R interface to the WebAIM WAVE accessibility evaluation API <https://wave.webaim.org/api/>. This package provides tools for analyzing web pages for accessibility issues, generating reports, and comparing accessibility across multiple websites.

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.

Supports systematic scrutiny, modification, and integration of data. The function status() counts rows that have missing values in grouping columns (returned by na() ), have non-unique combinations of grouping columns (returned by dup() ), and that are not locally sorted (returned by unsorted() ). Functions enumerate() and itemize() give sorted unique combinations of columns, with or without occurrence counts, respectively. Function ignore() drops columns in x that are present in y, and informative() drops columns in x that are entirely NA; constant() returns values that are constant, given a key. Data that have defined unique combinations of grouping values behave more predictably during merge operations.

This package provides a powerful yet simple graphical tool available in the field of psychometrics is the Wright Map (also known as item maps or item-person maps), which presents the location of both respondents and items on the same scale. Wright Maps are commonly used to present the results of dichotomous or polytomous item response models. The WrightMap package provides functions to create these plots from item parameters and person estimates stored as R objects. Although the package can be used in conjunction with any software used to estimate the IRT model (e.g. TAM', mirt', eRm or IRToys in R', or Stata', Mplus', etc.), WrightMap features special integration with ConQuest to facilitate reading and plotting its output directly.The wrightMap function creates Wright Maps based on person estimates and item parameters produced by an item response analysis. The CQmodel function reads output files created using ConQuest software and creates a set of data frames for easy data manipulation, bundled in a CQmodel object. The wrightMap function can take a CQmodel object as input or it can be used to create Wright Maps directly from data frames of person and item parameters.

This package provides a toolbox of common robust statistical tests, including robust descriptives, robust t-tests, and robust ANOVA. It is also available as a module for jamovi (see <https://www.jamovi.org> for more information). Walrus is based on the WRS2 package by Patrick Mair, which is in turn based on the scripts and work of Rand Wilcox. These analyses are described in depth in the book Introduction to Robust Estimation & Hypothesis Testing'.

Adds ... to a function's argument list so that it can tolerate non-matching arguments.

Treemaps are a visually appealing graphical representation of numerical data using a space-filling approach. A plane or map is subdivided into smaller areas called cells. The cells in the map are scaled according to an underlying metric which allows to grasp the hierarchical organization and relative importance of many objects at once. This package contains two different implementations of treemaps, Voronoi treemaps and Sunburst treemaps. The Voronoi treemap function subdivides the plot area in polygonal cells according to the highest hierarchical level, then continues to subdivide those parental cells on the next lower hierarchical level, and so on. The Sunburst treemap is a computationally less demanding treemap that does not require iterative refinement, but simply generates circle sectors that are sized according to predefined weights. The Voronoi tesselation is based on functions from Paul Murrell (2012) <https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/Reports/VoronoiTreemap/voronoiTreeMap.html>.

Lossless webp images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNG. Lossy webp images are 25-34% smaller in size compared to JPEG. This package reads and writes webp images into a 3 (rgb) or 4 (rgba) channel bitmap array using conventions from the jpeg and png packages.

Streamlines the process of transitioning between data formats commonly used in survival analysis. Functions convert longitudinal data between formats used as input for survival models as well as support overall preparation. Users are able to focus on model building rather than data wrangling.

The weighted ensemble method is a valuable approach for combining forecasts. This algorithm employs several optimization techniques to generate optimized weights. This package has been developed using algorithm of Armstrong (1989) <doi:10.1016/0024-6301(90)90317-W>.

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 a spatiotemporal boundary detection model with a dissimilarity metric for areal data with inference in a Bayesian setting using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The response variable can be modeled as Gaussian (no nugget), probit or Tobit link and spatial correlation is introduced at each time point through a conditional autoregressive (CAR) prior. Temporal correlation is introduced through a hierarchical structure and can be specified as exponential or first-order autoregressive. Full details of the package can be found in the accompanying vignette. Furthermore, the details of the package can be found in "Diagnosing Glaucoma Progression with Visual Field Data Using a Spatiotemporal Boundary Detection Method", by Berchuck et al (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1537911>.

Estimation, simulation, hypothesis testing, AR-order selection, and forecasting for univariate higher-order stochastic volatility SV(p) models. Supports Gaussian, Student-t, and Generalized Error Distribution (GED) innovations, with optional leverage effects. Estimation uses closed-form Winsorized ARMA-SV (W-ARMA-SV) moment-based methods that avoid numerical optimization. Hypothesis testing includes Local Monte Carlo (LMC) and Maximized Monte Carlo (MMC) procedures for leverage effects, heavy tails, and autoregressive order. AR-order selection is also available via information criteria (BIC/AIC) using the Kalman-filter quasi-likelihood and the Hannan-Rissanen ARMA residual variance. Forecasting is based on Kalman filtering and smoothing.
