Several methods have been developed to integrate structural equation modeling techniques with network data analysis to examine the relationship between network and non-network data. Both node-based and edge-based information can be extracted from the network data to be used as observed variables in structural equation modeling. To facilitate the application of these methods, model specification can be performed in the familiar syntax of the lavaan package, ensuring ease of use for researchers. Technical details and examples can be found at <https://bigsem.psychstat.org>.

Nonparametric efficiency measurement and statistical inference via DEA type estimators (see Färe, Grosskopf, and Lovell (1994) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511551710>, Kneip, Simar, and Wilson (2008) <doi:10.1017/S0266466608080651> and Badunenko and Mozharovskyi (2020) <doi:10.1080/01605682.2019.1599778>) as well as Stochastic Frontier estimators for both cross-sectional data and 1st, 2nd, and 4th generation models for panel data (see Kumbhakar and Lovell (2003) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139174411>, Badunenko and Kumbhakar (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2016.04.049>). The stochastic frontier estimators can handle both half-normal and truncated normal models with conditional mean and heteroskedasticity. The marginal effects of determinants can be obtained.

Researchers often want to evaluate whether there is a negligible relationship among variables. The negligible package provides functions that are useful for conducting negligible effect testing (also called equivalence testing). For example, there are functions for evaluating the equivalence of means or the presence of a negligible association (correlation or regression). Beribisky, N., Mara, C., & Cribbie, R. A.

In empirical studies, instrumental variable (IV) regression is the signature method to solve the endogeneity problem. If we enforce the exogeneity condition of the IV, it is likely that we end up with a large set of IVs without knowing which ones are good. Also, one could face the model uncertainty for structural equation, as large micro dataset is commonly available nowadays. This package uses adaptive group lasso and B-spline methods to select the nonparametric components of the IV function, with the linear function being a special case (naivereg). The package also incorporates two stage least squares estimator (2SLS), generalized method of moment (GMM), generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) methods post instrument selection, logistic-regression instrumental variables estimator (LIVE, for dummy endogenous variable problem), double-selection plus instrumental variable estimator (DS-IV) and double selection plus logistic regression instrumental variable estimator (DS-LIVE), where the double selection methods are useful for high-dimensional structural equation models. The naivereg is nonparametric version of ivregress in Stata with IV selection and high dimensional features. The package is based on the paper by Q. Fan and W. Zhong, "Nonparametric Additive Instrumental Variable Estimator: A Group Shrinkage Estimation Perspective" (2018), Journal of Business & Economic Statistics <doi:10.1080/07350015.2016.1180991> as well as a series of working papers led by the same authors.

This package provides null model algorithms for categorical and quantitative community ecology data. Extends classic binary null models (e.g., curveball', swap') to work with categorical data. Provides a stratified randomization framework for continuous data.

Incorporating node-level covariates for community detection has gained increasing attention these years. This package provides the function for implementing the novel community detection algorithm known as Network-Adjusted Covariates for Community Detection (NAC), which is designed to detect latent community structure in graphs with node-level information, i.e., covariates. This algorithm can handle models such as the degree-corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM) with covariates. NAC specifically addresses the discrepancy between the community structure inferred from the adjacency information and the community structure inferred from the covariates information. For more detailed information, please refer to the reference paper: Yaofang Hu and Wanjie Wang (2023) <arXiv:2306.15616>. In addition to NAC, this package includes several other existing community detection algorithms that are compared to NAC in the reference paper. These algorithms are Spectral Clustering On Ratios-of Eigenvectors (SCORE), network-based regularized spectral clustering (Net-based), covariate-based spectral clustering (Cov-based), covariate-assisted spectral clustering (CAclustering) and semidefinite programming (SDP).

Automatically runs 18 individual models and 14 ensembles on numeric data, for a total of 32 models. The package automatically returns complete results on all 32 models, 30 charts and six tables. The user simply provides the tidy data, and answers a few questions (for example, how many times would you like to resample the data). From there the package randomly splits the data into train, test and validation sets, fits each of models on the training data, makes predictions on the test and validation sets, measures root mean squared error (RMSE), removes features above a user-set level of Variance Inflation Factor, and has several optional features including scaling all numeric data, four different ways to handle strings in the data. Perhaps the most significant feature is the package's ability to make predictions using the 32 pre trained models on totally new (untrained) data if the user selects that feature. This feature alone represents a very effective solution to the issue of reproducibility of models in data science. The package can also randomly resample the data as many times as the user sets, thus giving more accurate results than a single run. The graphs provide many results that are not typically found. For example, the package automatically calculates the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for each of the 32 models and plots a bar chart of the results, a bias bar chart of each of the 32 models, as well as several plots for exploratory data analysis (automatic histograms of the numeric data, automatic histograms of the numeric data). The package also automatically creates a summary report that can be both sorted and searched for each of the 32 models, including RMSE, bias, train RMSE, test RMSE, validation RMSE, overfitting and duration. The best results on the holdout data typically beat the best results in data science competitions and published results for the same data set.
