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.

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.

This package provides density, cumulative distribution, quantile, and random generation functions for Vasicek-type distributions with standard normal, standard logistic, and standard hyperbolic-secant kernels. The normal-kernel distribution is parameterized by either its mean or a fixed quantile, whereas the logistic- and hyperbolic-secant-kernel distributions use fixed-quantile parameterizations. Zero-augmented, one-augmented, and zero-and-one-augmented extensions of the normal-kernel mean parameterization are also provided for responses that include boundary values. The corresponding NVASIM', NVASIQ', LVASIQ', HVASIQ', ZANVASIM', OANVASIM', and ZOANVASIM families are available for fitting Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS), as introduced by Rigby and Stasinopoulos (2005, <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9876.2005.00510.x>). Two-part random-intercept regression models for zero-augmented longitudinal responses are included with either a beta or a normal-kernel Vasicek positive component, extending the framework of Chen and Li (2016, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw308>). Some functions are written in C++ using Rcpp', developed by Eddelbuettel and Francois (2011, <doi:10.18637/jss.v040.i08>).

Three steps variable selection procedure based on random forests. Initially developed to handle high dimensional data (for which number of variables largely exceeds number of observations), the package is very versatile and can treat most dimensions of data, for regression and supervised classification problems. First step is dedicated to eliminate irrelevant variables from the dataset. Second step aims to select all variables related to the response for interpretation purpose. Third step refines the selection by eliminating redundancy in the set of variables selected by the second step, for prediction purpose. Genuer, R. Poggi, J.-M. and Tuleau-Malot, C.

This package provides users with a simple and convenient mechanism to manage and query a Virtuoso database using the DBI (Data-Base Interface) compatible ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) interface. Virtuoso is a high-performance "universal server," which can act as both a relational database, supporting standard Structured Query Language ('SQL') queries, while also supporting data following the Resource Description Framework ('RDF') model for Linked Data. RDF data can be queried using SPARQL ('SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) queries, a graph-based query that supports semantic reasoning. This allows users to leverage the performance of local or remote Virtuoso servers using popular R packages such as DBI and dplyr', while also providing a high-performance solution for working with large RDF triplestores from R. The package also provides helper routines to install, launch, and manage a Virtuoso server locally on Mac', Windows and Linux platforms using the standard interactive installers from the R command-line. By automatically handling these setup steps, the package can make using Virtuoso considerably faster and easier for a most users to deploy in a local environment. Managing the bulk import of triples from common serializations with a single intuitive command is another key feature of this package. Bulk import performance can be tens to hundreds of times faster than the comparable imports using existing R tools, including rdflib and redland packages.

Elaboration of vehicular emissions inventories, consisting in four stages, pre-processing activity data, preparing emissions factors, estimating the emissions and post-processing of emissions in maps and databases. More details in Ibarra-Espinosa et al (2018) <doi:10.5194/gmd-11-2209-2018>. Before using VEIN you need to know the vehicular composition of your study area, in other words, the combination of of type of vehicles, size and fuel of the fleet. Then, it is recommended to start with the project to download a template to create a structure of directories and scripts.

Constructs a virtual population from fertility and mortality rates for any country, calendar year and birth cohort in the Human Mortality Database <https://www.mortality.org> and the Human Fertility Database <https://www.humanfertility.org>. Fertility histories are simulated for every individual and their offspring, producing a multi-generation virtual population.

Calculates and displays Venn and Euler Diagrams.

The spectral characteristics of a bivariate series (Marginal Spectra, Coherency- and Phase-Spectrum) determine whether there is a strong presence of short-, medium-, or long-term fluctuations (components of certain frequencies in the spectral representation of the series) in each one of them. These are induced by strong peaks of the marginal spectra of each series at the corresponding frequencies. The spectral characteristics also determine how strongly these short-, medium-, or long-term fluctuations of the two series are correlated between the two series. Information on this is provided by the Coherency spectrum at the corresponding frequencies. Finally, certain fluctuations of the two series may be lagged to each other. Information on this is provided by the Phase spectrum at the corresponding frequencies. The idea in this package is to define a VAR (Vector autoregression) model with desired spectral characteristics by specifying a number of polynomials, required to define the VAR. See Ioannidis(2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2005.12.013>. These are specified via their roots, instead of via their coefficients. This is an idea borrowed from the Time Series Library of R. Dahlhaus, where it is used for defining ARMA models for univariate time series. This way, one may e.g. specify a VAR inducing a strong presence of long-term fluctuations in series 1 and in series 2, which are weakly correlated, but lagged by a number of time units to each other, while short-term fluctuations in series 1 and in series 2, are strongly present only in one of the two series, while they are strongly correlated to each other between the two series. Simulation from such models allows studying the behavior of data-analysis tools, such as estimation of the spectra, under different circumstances, as e.g. peaks in the spectra, generating bias, induced by leakage.

Earth system dynamics, such as plant dynamics, water bodies, and fire regimes, are widely monitored using spectral indicators obtained from multispectral remote sensing products. There is a great need for spectral index catalogues and computing tools as a result of the quick rise of suggested spectral indices. Unfortunately, the majority of these resources lack a standard Application Programming Interface, are out-of-date, closed-source, or are not linked to a catalogue. We now introduce VegSpecIndex', a standardised list of spectral indices for studies of the earth system. A thorough inventory of spectral indices is offered by VegSpecIndex and is connected to an R library. For every spectral index, VegSpecIndex provides a comprehensive collection of information, such as names, formulae, and source references. The user community may add more items to the catalogue, which will keep VegSpecIndex up to date and allow for further scientific uses. Additionally, the R library makes it possible to apply the catalogue to actual data, which makes it easier to employ remote sensing resources effectively across a variety of Earth system domains.

This package provides statistical methods for assessing homoscedasticity (equality of variances) across groups. The package implements classical and robust tests for variance homogeneity, together with supporting measures and utilities for exploratory analysis and hypothesis testing. These tools can be used as diagnostic procedures prior to analyses that assume equal variances.
