Parse entire folders of non-rectangular xlsx files into a single rectangular and tidy data.frame based on a custom template file defining the column names of the output.

This package implements fixed effects estimators for time-invariant variables in panel data models. Provides three estimation methods: FEVD (Fixed Effects Vector Decomposition) from Plumper and Troeger (2007) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpm002>, and FEF (Fixed Effects Filtered) and FEF-IV (instrumental variables variant) from Pesaran and Zhou (2018) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2016.1222225>. All methods use the correct Pesaran-Zhou variance estimators that account for generated regressor uncertainty, avoiding the size distortions documented in the literature.

Miscellaneous functions used for x-engineering (feature engineering) or for supporting in other packages maintained by Shichen Xie'.

An implementation of the representation-dependent gene level operations of grammar-based genetic programming with genes which are derivation trees of a context-free grammar: Initialization of a gene with a complete random derivation tree, decoding of a derivation tree. Crossover is implemented by exchanging subtrees. Depth-bounds for the minimal and the maximal depth of the roots of the subtrees exchanged by crossover can be set. Mutation is implemented by replacing a subtree by a random subtree. The depth of the random subtree and the insertion node are configurable. For details, see Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X).

There is limited native support for external pointers in the R interface. This package provides some basic tools to verify, create and modify externalptr objects.

This package provides a fast and elegant interface for generating XML fragments and documents. It can be used in companion with R packages XML or xml2 to generate XML documents. The fast XML generation is implemented using the Rcpp package.

The XKCD color survey asked participants to name colours. Randall Munroe published the top thousand(roughly) names and their sRGB hex values. This package lets you use them.

Reading and writing sheets of a single Excel file into and from a list of data frames. Eases I/O of tabular data in bioinformatics while keeping them in a human readable format.

Fits hierarchical regularized regression models to incorporate potentially informative external data, Weaver and Lewinger (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01761>. Utilizes coordinate descent to efficiently fit regularized regression models both with and without external information with the most common penalties used in practice (i.e. ridge, lasso, elastic net). Support for standard R matrices, sparse matrices and big.matrix objects.

This package provides a set of functions devoted to multivariate exploratory statistics on textual data. Classical methods such as correspondence analysis and agglomerative hierarchical clustering are available. Chronologically constrained agglomerative hierarchical clustering enriched with labelled-by-words trees is offered. Given a division of the corpus into parts, their characteristic words and documents are identified. Further, accessing to FactoMineR functions is very easy. Two of them are relevant in textual domain. MFA() addresses multiple lexical table allowing applications such as dealing with multilingual corpora as well as simultaneously analyzing both open-ended and closed questions in surveys. See <http://xplortext.unileon.es> for examples.

Obtain historical and near real time data related to stocks, index and currencies from the Yahoo Finance API. This package is community maintained and is not officially supported by Yahoo'. The accuracy of data is only as correct as provided on <https://finance.yahoo.com/>.

Convert YMD format number or string to Date efficiently, using Rust's standard library. It also provides helper functions to handle Date, e.g., quick finding the beginning or end of the given period, adding months to Date, etc.

Fits yield curves using Nelson-Siegel (1987) <doi:10.1086/296409>, Svensson (1994) <doi:10.3386/w4871>, and cubic spline methods. Extracts forward rates, discount factors, and par rates from fitted curves. Computes duration and convexity risk measures. Computes Z-spread and key rate durations. Provides principal component decomposition following Litterman and Scheinkman (1991) <doi:10.3905/jfi.1991.692347>, carry and roll-down analysis, and slope measures. All methods are pure computation with no external dependencies beyond base R; works with yield data from any source.

Semiparametric modeling of lifetime data with crossing survival curves via Yang and Prentice model with baseline hazard/odds modeled with Bernstein polynomials. Details about the model can be found in Demarqui et al. (2019) <arXiv:1910.04475>. Model fitting can be carried out via both maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches. The package also provides point and interval estimation for the crossing survival times.

The generalized construction methods for magic squares, inspired by the ancient Chinese mathematician Yang Hui's classical work "Xu Gu Zhai Qi Suan Fa". These methods can construct 4n-order magic squares and 2(2n+1)-order magic squares.

Nonparametric estimation of discount functions and yield curves from transaction data of coupon paying bonds. Koo, B., La Vecchia, D., & Linton, O. B. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.04.014> describe an application of this package using the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) Bond Data and document its implementation.

This package provides covariate-adjusted comparison of two groups of right censored data, where the binary group variable has separate short-term and long-term effects on the hazard function, while effects of covariates such as age, blood pressure, etc. are proportional on the hazard. The model was studied in Yang and Prentice (2015) <doi:10.1002/sim.6453> and it extends the two sample version of the short-term and long-term hazard ratio model proposed in Yang and Prentice (2005) <doi:10.1093/biomet/92.1.1>. The model extends the usual Cox proportional hazards model to allow more flexible hazard ratio patterns, such as gradual onset of effect, diminishing effect, and crossing hazard or survival functions. This package provides the following: 1) point estimates and confidence intervals for model parameters; 2) point estimate and confidence interval of the average hazard ratio; and 3) plots of estimated hazard ratio function with point-wise and simultaneous confidence bands.

Simulation and Inference for SDEs and Other Stochastic Processes.

This package provides a fast JSON parser, generator and validator which converts JSON', NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON') and GeoJSON (Geographic JSON') data to/from R objects. The standard R data types are supported (e.g. logical, numeric, integer) with configurable handling of NULL and NA values. Data frames, atomic vectors and lists are all supported as data containers translated to/from JSON'. GeoJSON data is read in as simple features objects. This implementation wraps the yyjson C library which is available from <https://github.com/ibireme/yyjson>.

Semiparametric modeling of lifetime data with crossing survival curves via Yang and Prentice model with piecewise exponential baseline distribution. Details about the model can be found in Demarqui and Mayrink (2019) <arXiv:1910.02406>. Model fitting carried out via likelihood-based and Bayesian approaches. The package also provides point and interval estimation for the crossing survival times.
