Impute the covariance matrix of incomplete data so that factor analysis can be performed. Imputations are made using multiple imputation by Multivariate Imputation with Chained Equations (MICE) and combined with Rubin's rules. Parametric Fieller confidence intervals and nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals can be obtained for the variance explained by different numbers of principal components. The method is described in Nassiri et al. (2018) <doi:10.3758/s13428-017-1013-4>.

This package performs maximum likelihood estimation for finite mixture models for families including Normal, Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal by using EM algorithm, together with Newton-Raphson algorithm or bisection method when necessary. It also conducts mixture model selection by using information criteria or bootstrap likelihood ratio test. The data used for mixture model fitting can be raw data or binned data. The model fitting process is accelerated by using R package Rcpp'.

Generalized low-rank models for mixed and incomplete data frames. The main function may be used for dimensionality reduction of imputation of numeric, binary and count data (simultaneously). Main effects such as column means, group effects, or effects of row-column side information (e.g. user/item attributes in recommendation system) may also be modelled in addition to the low-rank model.

The goal of midr is to provide a model-agnostic method for interpreting and explaining black-box predictive models by creating a globally interpretable surrogate model. The package implements Maximum Interpretation Decomposition (MID), a functional decomposition technique that finds an optimal additive approximation of the original model. This approximation is achieved by minimizing the squared error between the predictions of the black-box model and the surrogate model. The theoretical foundations of MID are described in Iwasawa & Matsumori (2025) [Forthcoming], and the package itself is detailed in Asashiba et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2506.08338>.

Multiple imputation using Fully Conditional Specification (FCS) implemented by the MICE algorithm as described in http://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v045.i03. Each variable has its own imputation model. Built-in imputation models are provided for continuous data (predictive mean matching, normal), binary data (logistic regression), unordered categorical data (polytomous logistic regression) and ordered categorical data (proportional odds). MICE can also impute continuous two-level data (normal model, pan, second-level variables). Passive imputation can be used to maintain consistency between variables. Various diagnostic plots are available to inspect the quality of the imputations.

This is a package for the analysis of discrete response data using unidimensional and multidimensional item analysis models under the Item Response Theory paradigm (Chalmers (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i06>). Exploratory and confirmatory item factor analysis models are estimated with quadrature (EM) or stochastic (MHRM) methods. Confirmatory bi-factor and two-tier models are available for modeling item testlets using dimension reduction EM algorithms, while multiple group analyses and mixed effects designs are included for detecting differential item, bundle, and test functioning, and for modeling item and person covariates. Finally, latent class models such as the DINA, DINO, multidimensional latent class, mixture IRT models, and zero-inflated response models are supported.

The multiple instance data set consists of many independent subjects (called bags) and each subject is composed of several components (called instances). The outcomes of such data set are binary or categorical responses, and, we can only observe the subject-level outcomes. For example, in manufacturing processes, a subject is labeled as "defective" if at least one of its own components is defective, and otherwise, is labeled as "non-defective". The milr package focuses on the predictive model for the multiple instance data set with binary outcomes and performs the maximum likelihood estimation with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm under the framework of logistic regression. Moreover, the LASSO penalty is attached to the likelihood function for simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection.

An implementation of a taxonomy of models of restricted diffusion in biological tissues parametrized by the tissue geometry (axis, diameter, density, etc.). This is primarily used in the context of diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to model the MR signal attenuation in the presence of diffusion gradients. The goal is to provide tools to simulate the MR signal attenuation predicted by these models under different experimental conditions. The package feeds a companion shiny app available at <https://midi-pastrami.apps.math.cnrs.fr> that serves as a graphical interface to the models and tools provided by the package. Models currently available are the ones in Neuman (1974) <doi:10.1063/1.1680931>, Van Gelderen et al. (1994) <doi:10.1006/jmrb.1994.1038>, Stanisz et al. (1997) <doi:10.1002/mrm.1910370115>, Soderman & Jonsson (1995) <doi:10.1006/jmra.1995.0014> and Callaghan (1995) <doi:10.1006/jmra.1995.1055>.

Count data is prevalent and informative, with widespread application in many fields such as social psychology, personality, and public health. Classical statistical methods for the analysis of count outcomes are commonly variants of the log-linear model, including Poisson regression and Negative Binomial regression. However, a typical problem with count data modeling is inflation, in the sense that the counts are evidently accumulated on some integers. Such an inflation problem could distort the distribution of the observed counts, further bias estimation and increase error, making the classic methods infeasible. Traditional inflated value selection methods based on histogram inspection are easy to neglect true points and computationally expensive in addition. Therefore, we propose a multiple-inflated negative binomial model to handle count data modeling with multiple inflated values, achieving data-driven inflated value selection. The proposed approach provides simultaneous identification of important regression predictors on the target count response as well. More details about the proposed method are described in Li, Y., Wu, M., Wu, M., & Ma, S. (2023) <arXiv:2309.15585>.

Multivariate Information-based Inductive Causation, better known by its acronym MIIC, is a causal discovery method, based on information theory principles, which learns a large class of causal or non-causal graphical models from purely observational data, while including the effects of unobserved latent variables. Starting from a complete graph, the method iteratively removes dispensable edges, by uncovering significant information contributions from indirect paths, and assesses edge-specific confidences from randomization of available data. The remaining edges are then oriented based on the signature of causality in observational data. The recent more interpretable MIIC extension (iMIIC) further distinguishes genuine causes from putative and latent causal effects, while scaling to very large datasets (hundreds of thousands of samples). Since the version 2.0, MIIC also includes a temporal mode (tMIIC) to learn temporal causal graphs from stationary time series data. MIIC has been applied to a wide range of biological and biomedical data, such as single cell gene expression data, genomic alterations in tumors, live-cell time-lapse imaging data (CausalXtract), as well as medical records of patients. MIIC brings unique insights based on causal interpretation and could be used in a broad range of other data science domains (technology, climatology, economy, ...).
