Acquire hourly meteorological data from stations located all over the world. There is a wealth of data available, with historic weather data accessible from nearly 30,000 stations. The available data is automatically downloaded from a data repository and processed into a tibble for the exact range of years requested. A relative humidity approximation is provided using the August-Roche-Magnus formula, which was adapted from Alduchov and Eskridge (1996) <doi:10.1175%2F1520-0450%281996%29035%3C0601%3AIMFAOS%3E2.0.CO%3B2>.

An exploratory and heuristic approach for specification search in Structural Equation Modeling. The basic idea is to subsample the original data and then search for optimal models on each subset. Optimality is defined through two objectives: model fit and parsimony. As these objectives are conflicting, we apply a multi-objective optimization methods, specifically NSGA-II, to obtain optimal models for the whole range of model complexities. From these optimal models, we consider only the relevant model specifications (structures), i.e., those that are both stable (occur frequently) and parsimonious and use those to infer a causal model.

This package implements multi-study learning algorithms such as merging, the study-specific ensemble (trained-on-observed-studies ensemble) the study strap, the covariate-matched study strap, covariate-profile similarity weighting, and stacking weights. Embedded within the caret framework, this package allows for a wide range of single-study learners (e.g., neural networks, lasso, random forests). The package offers over 20 default similarity measures and allows for specification of custom similarity measures for covariate-profile similarity weighting and an accept/reject step. This implements methods described in Loewinger, Kishida, Patil, and Parmigiani. (2019) <doi:10.1101/856385>.

Stochastic blockmodeling of one-mode and linked networks as implemented in Škulj and Žiberna (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.socnet.2022.02.001>.
