This method generates a tour path by interpolating between d-D frames in p-D using Givens rotations. The algorithm arises from the problem of zeroing elements of a matrix. This interpolation method is useful for showing specific d-D frames in the tour, as opposed to d-D planes, as done by the geodesic interpolation. It is useful for projection pursuit indexes which are not s invariant. See more details in Buj, Cook, Asimov and Hurley (2005) <doi:10.1016/S0169-7161(04)24014-7> and Batsaikhan, Cook and Laa (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2311.08181>.

This package provides a new inverse probability of selection weighted Cox model to deal with outcome-dependent sampling in survival analysis.

Efficient Bayesian generalized linear models with time-varying coefficients as in Helske (2022, <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2022.101016>). Gaussian, Poisson, and binomial observations are supported. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computations are done using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo provided by Stan, using a state space representation of the model in order to marginalise over the coefficients for efficient sampling. For non-Gaussian models, the package uses the importance sampling type estimators based on approximate marginal MCMC as in Vihola, Helske, Franks (2020, <doi:10.1111/sjos.12492>).

The main functionalities of wrappedtools are: adding backticks to variable names; rounding to desired precision with special case for p-values; selecting columns based on pattern and storing their position, name, and backticked name; computing and formatting of descriptive statistics (e.g. mean±SD), comparing groups and creating publication-ready tables with descriptive statistics and p-values; creating specialized plots for correlation matrices. Functions were mainly written for my own daily work or teaching, but may be of use to others as well.

Solves the horse race problem in both directions. Infers relative ability from win probabilities (or betting dividends) for contests whose entrants share a common performance distribution, with dead heats handled exactly, by the lattice fixed-point algorithm of Cotton (2021) <doi:10.1137/19M1276261>. Also computes all N win probabilities of a factor-structured Gaussian race (multinomial probit with low-rank-plus-diagonal covariance) in one shared-lattice pass of O(Q*N*L) operations, and inverts observed shares to abilities by a damped Newton method with analytic slopes. A dependency-free base-R port of the reference python package winning'. Performances are times: lowest wins.

This package provides a comprehensive suite of functions for processing, analyzing, and visualizing textual data from tweets is offered. Users can clean tweets, analyze their sentiments, visualize data, and examine the correlation between sentiments and environmental data such as weather conditions. Main features include text processing, sentiment analysis, data visualization, correlation analysis, and synthetic data generation. Text processing involves cleaning and preparing tweets by removing textual noise and irrelevant words. Sentiment analysis extracts and accurately analyzes sentiments from tweet texts using advanced algorithms. Data visualization creates various charts like word clouds and sentiment polarity graphs for visual representation of data. Correlation analysis examines and calculates the correlation between tweet sentiments and environmental variables such as weather conditions. Additionally, random tweets can be generated for testing and evaluating the performance of analyses, empowering users to effectively analyze and interpret Twitter data for research and commercial purposes.

This package provides statistical tools for analyzing weather patterns, temperature anomalies, and climate risk. Implements Markov regime-switching jump diffusion (MRJD) models to capture abrupt shifts, extreme weather events, and structural breaks in environmental time series data. Estimates model parameters using maximum likelihood estimation and offers utility functions for simulating regime-dependent stochastic processes. The regime-switching methodology is based on Hamilton (1989) "Analysis of Time Series Subject to Changes in Regime" <doi:10.2307/1912559>.

New tools for the imputation of missing values in high-dimensional data are introduced using the non-parametric nearest neighbor methods. It includes weighted nearest neighbor imputation methods that use specific distances for selected variables. It includes an automatic procedure of cross validation and does not require prespecified values of the tuning parameters. It can be used to impute missing values in high-dimensional data when the sample size is smaller than the number of predictors.
