This package provides the platform layer for explanation geometry in R. The package standardizes generic explanation tables into a normalized backend state object, computes embeddings, diagnostics, and multiscale level-of-detail summaries, and serializes backend-neutral state for reproducible workflows. It also exposes selected long-table and regular-grid views for downstream use-case packages. Rendering and viewport orchestration are delegated to downstream frontends such as ggWebGL'.

Calculates a number of valuation adjustments including CVA, DVA, FBA, FCA, MVA and KVA. A two-way margin agreement has been implemented. For the KVA calculation four regulatory frameworks are supported: CEM, (simplified) SA-CCR, OEM and IMM. The probability of default is implied through the credit spreads curve. The package supports an exposure calculation based on SA-CCR which includes several trade types and a simulated path which is currently available only for Interest Rate Swaps. The latest regulatory capital charge methodologies have been implementing including BA-CVA & SA-CVA.

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.

This package implements the recursively detrended panel unit root tests proposed by Westerlund (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2014.09.013>. Two variants are provided: the basic t-REC test assuming iid errors, and the robust t-RREC test that accounts for serial correlation, cross-sectional dependence, and heteroskedasticity via defactoring and BIC-selected lag augmentation. Both tests have a standard normal null distribution requiring no mean or variance correction. The panel must be strongly balanced.

Based on the econometric frameworks of Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (1999) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1999.10474156>, Cho, Kim, and Shin (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2015.05.003>, and Bildirici and Kayikci (2022).

Derivation tree operations are needed for implementing grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution: Generating a random derivation trees of a context-free grammar of bounded depth, decoding a derivation tree, choosing a random node in a derivation tree, extracting a tree whose root is a specified node, and inserting a subtree into a derivation tree at a specified node. These operations are necessary for the initialization and for decoders of a random population of programs, as well as for implementing crossover and mutation operators. Depth-bounds are guaranteed by switching to a grammar without recursive production rules. For executing the examples, the package BNF is needed. The basic tree operations for generating, extracting, and inserting derivation trees as well as the conditions for guaranteeing complete derivation trees have been presented in Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X). The use of random integer vectors for the generation of derivation trees has been introduced in Ryan, C., Collins, J. J., and O'Neill, M. (1998) <doi:10.1007/BFb0055930> for grammatical evolution.

It generates overall, between-group, and within-group statistics for specified variables in a panel data set, as presented in S. Porter (2023) <https://stephenporter.org/files/xtsum_handout.pdf>, StataCorp (2023) <https://www.stata.com/manuals/xtxtsum.pdf>.

Institutional performance assessment remains a key challenge to a multitude of stakeholders. Existing indicators such as h-type indicators, g-type indicators, and many others do not reflect expertise of institutions that defines their research portfolio. The package offers functionality to compute and visualise two novel indices: the x-index and the xd-index. The x-index evaluates an institution's scholarly expertise within a specific discipline or field, while the xd-index provides a broader assessment of overall scholarly expertise considering an institution's publication pattern and strengths across coarse thematic areas. These indices offer a nuanced understanding of institutional research capabilities, aiding stakeholders in research management and resource allocation decisions. For further details, see Lathabai, H.H., Nandy, A., and Singh, V.K. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11192-021-04188-3>, and Nandy, A., Lathabai, H.H., and Singh, V.K. (2023) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.8305585>. This package provides wrapper functions for computing these exertise indices and their variants, for use with the standard output format of the Web of Science database.

This package implements the GADGET (Generalized Additive Decomposition of Global EffecTs) algorithm for interpretable machine learning. The package recursively partitions the feature space to minimize heterogeneity of feature effects (e.g., Accumulated Local Effects or Partial Dependence), producing a tree of regions where effects are more stable. It supports both ALE and PD strategies, works with mlr3 learners and provides visualization of the interaction tree and regional effect plots. The method is described in Herbinger, J., Wright, M. N., Nagler, T., Bischl, B., and Casalicchio, G. (2024), "Decomposing Global Feature Effects Based on Feature Interactions" <https://jmlr.org/papers/volume25/23-0699/23-0699.pdf>.

Computes Chatterjee's non-parametric correlation coefficient for time series data. It extends the original metric to time series analysis by providing the univariate Xi-Autocorrelation Function (Xi-ACF), directional Xi-Cross-Correlation Function (Xi-CCF), and multivariate network evaluation matrices. The package allows users to test for non-linear dependence using Iterative Amplitude Adjusted Fourier Transform (IAAFT) and Multivariate IAAFT (MIAAFT) surrogate data with strict Family-Wise Error Rate ('FWER') control via Max-statistic approaches. Methodologies are based on Chatterjee (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1758115>, surrogate data testing methods by Schreiber and Schmitz (1996) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.77.635>, and local structural identification by Watanabe (2026) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.6829431>.
