There are two new network metrics, RWC (random walk centrality) and CBET (counting betweenness). Also available are the normalized versions of those metrics. These measures of centrality and betweenness are particularly useful for the analysis of very dense weighted networks which include loops. Traditional measures do not work as well for those network characteristics. The main reference is DePaolis at al (2022) <doi:10.1007/s41109-022-00519-2>.

Draw images easily, set up a plot with an image, specify where that image should be placed. Image plot by default reflects the index of the image data itself, or can be specified in simple extent terms xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax'. Numeric matrices, integer arrays, byte arrays, character arrays, and native rasters are (or will be) supported. A combination of image() and rasterImage() from the graphics package with their good features in one place.

This package provides tools to build CDISC compliant data sets and check for CDISC compliance.

This is a set of statistical quality control functions, that allows plotting control charts and its iterations, process capability for variable and attribute control, highlighting the xrs_gr() function, like a first iteration for variable chart, meanwhile the we_rules() function detects non random patterns in sample.

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).

This package provides PLUS-derived extensions for positive and unlabeled (PU) learning from unbalanced cases and sparse structures, based on Zhou et al. (2022) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009956>. Iteratively relabels unlabeled observations via penalised logistic regression and pseudo-label updates, then refits a final sparse model. Includes weighted bootstrap sampling, convergence diagnostics, prediction, coefficient extraction, and assessment utilities.

Representation-dependent gene-level operations for genetic and evolutionary algorithms with real-coded genes used in the R-package xega <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega> are collected in this package. The common feature of the gene operations is that all of them are useful for derivation-free optimization algorithms. At the moment the package implements initialization, mutation, crossover, and replication operations for differential evolution as described in Price, Kenneth V., Storn, Rainer M. and Lampinen, Jouni A. (2005) <doi:10.1007/3-540-31306-0>. In addition, several (more recent) methods for determining the scale factor are provided. For xega''s architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025) <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>.

Adding some at-present missing functionality, or functions unlikely to be added to the base xpose package. This includes some diagnostic plots that have been missing in translation from xpose4', but also some useful features that truly extend the capabilities of what can be done with xpose'. These extensions include the concept of a set of xpose objects, and diagnostics for likelihood-based models.

This package implements the Cross-Sectionally Augmented Panel Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-PQARDL) model and the Quantile Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (QCCEMG) estimator for panel data with cross-sectional dependence. The package handles unobserved common factors through cross-sectional averages following Pesaran (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2006.00692.x> and Chudik and Pesaran (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2015.03.007>. Quantile regression for dynamic panels follows Harding, Lamarche, and Pesaran (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2018.07.010>. The ARDL approach to cointegration testing is based on Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001) <doi:10.1002/jae.616>.

Implementation of a scalable, highly configurable, and e(x)tended architecture for (e)volutionary and (g)enetic (a)lgorithms. Multiple representations (binary, real-coded, permutation, and derivation-tree), a rich collection of genetic operators, as well as an extended processing pipeline are provided for genetic algorithms (Goldberg, D. E. (1989, ISBN:0-201-15767-5)), differential evolution (Price, Kenneth V., Storn, Rainer M. and Lampinen, Jouni A. (2005) <doi:10.1007/3-540-31306-0>), simulated annealing (Aarts, E., and Korst, J. (1989, ISBN:0-471-92146-7)), grammar-based genetic programming (Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X)), grammatical evolution (Ryan, C., O'Neill, M., and Collins, J. J. (2018) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-78717-6>), and grammatical differential evolution (O'Neill, M. and Brabazon, A. (2006) in Arabinia, H. (2006, ISBN:978-193-241596-3). All algorithms reuse basic adaptive mechanisms for performance optimization. For the architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025) <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>. Sequential or parallel execution with master-slave pattern (on multi-core machines, local clusters, and high-performance computing environments) is available for all algorithms. See <https://github.com/ageyerschulz/xega/tree/main/examples/executionModel>. Homogeneous and heterogeneous island models with asynchronous and synchronous communication and configurable communication topology as well as migration strategy are supported. See <https://github.com/ageyerschulz/xega/tree/main/examples/IslandModels>.

This collection of gene representation-independent functions implements the population layer of extended evolutionary and genetic algorithms and its support for the R-package xega <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega>. The population layer consists of functions for initializing, logging, observing, evaluating a population of genes, as well as of computing the next population. For parallel evaluation of a population of genes 4 execution models - named Sequential, MultiCore, FutureApply, and Cluster - are provided. They are implemented by configuring the lapply() function. The execution model FutureApply can be externally configured as recommended by Bengtsson (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>. Configurable acceptance rules and cooling schedules (see Kirkpatrick, S., Gelatt, C. D. J, and Vecchi, M. P. (1983) <doi:10.1126/science.220.4598.671>, and Aarts, E., and Korst, J. (1989, ISBN:0-471-92146-7) offer simulated annealing or greedy randomized approximate search procedure elements. Adaptive crossover and mutation rates depending on population statistics generalize the approach of Stanhope, S. A. and Daida, J. M. (1996, ISBN:0-18-201-031-7). For xega''s architecture, see Geyer-Schulz, A. (2025) <doi:10.5445/IR/1000187255>.

This package implements the interactive fixed effects ('IFE') panel estimator of Bai (2009) <doi:10.3982/ECTA6135> for balanced and unbalanced panels, with optional additive unit and/or time fixed effects. Provides analytical standard errors ('homoskedastic', HC1 heteroskedasticity-robust, cluster-robust by unit, and heteroskedasticity- and autocorrelation- consistent), together with asymptotic incidental-parameter bias correction for large panels, including a dynamic extension for predetermined (lagged-dependent) regressors following Moon and Weidner (2017) <doi:10.1017/S0266466615000328>. The number of factors is chosen by information criteria (Bai and Ng 2002 <doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00273>) or by singular value thresholding. Unbalanced panels are handled by an expectation-maximisation algorithm with nuclear-norm-regularised initialisation, with estimation, analytical inference, and bias correction following Su, Wang and Wang (2025) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.5177283> and building on the matrix-completion and missing-data factor analysis of Bai and Ng (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1967163>. All computations use base R only, with no external dependencies.

The US Census Bureau provides a seasonal adjustment program now called X-13ARIMA-SEATS building on both earlier programs called X-11 and X-12 as well as the SEATS program by the Bank of Spain. The US Census Bureau offers both source and binary versions -- which this package integrates for use by other R packages.

Based on the methodology in Mooi-Reci and Liao (2025) <doi:10.1093/esr/jcae052>.
