Quantification is a prominent machine learning task that has received an increasing amount of attention in the last years. The objective is to predict the class distribution of a data sample. This package is a collection of machine learning algorithms for class distribution estimation. This package include algorithms from different paradigms of quantification. These methods are described in the paper: A. Maletzke, W. Hassan, D. dos Reis, and G. Batista. The importance of the test set size in quantification assessment.

Generates efficient balanced non-aliased multi-level k-circulant supersaturated designs by interchanging the elements of the generator vector. Attempts to generate a supersaturated design that has chisquare efficiency more than user specified efficiency level (mef). Displays the progress of generation of an efficient multi-level k-circulant design through a progress bar. The progress of 100% means that one full round of interchange is completed. More than one full round (typically 4-5 rounds) of interchange may be required for larger designs.

Transfer learning, as a prevailing technique in computer sciences, aims to improve the performance of a target model by leveraging auxiliary information from heterogeneous source data. We provide novel tools for multi-source transfer learning under statistical models based on model averaging strategies, including linear regression models, partially linear models. Unlike existing transfer learning approaches, this method integrates the auxiliary information through data-driven weight assignments to avoid negative transfer. This is the first package for transfer learning based on the optimal model averaging frameworks, providing efficient implementations for practitioners in multi-source data modeling. The details are described in Hu and Zhang (2023) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v24/23-0030.html>.

Gradient boosting is a powerful statistical learning method known for its ability to model complex relationships between predictors and outcomes while performing inherent variable selection. However, traditional gradient boosting methods lack flexibility in handling longitudinal data where within-subject correlations play a critical role. In this package, we propose a novel approach Mixed Effect Gradient Boosting ('MEGB'), designed specifically for high-dimensional longitudinal data. MEGB incorporates a flexible semi-parametric model that embeds random effects within the gradient boosting framework, allowing it to account for within-individual covariance over time. Additionally, the method efficiently handles scenarios where the number of predictors greatly exceeds the number of observations (p>>n) making it particularly suitable for genomics data and other large-scale biomedical studies.

Balancing quasi-experimental field research for effects of covariates is fundamental for drawing causal inference. Propensity Score Matching deals with this issue but current techniques are restricted to binary treatment variables. Moreover, they provide several solutions without providing a comprehensive framework on choosing the best model. The MAGMA R-package addresses these restrictions by offering nearest neighbor matching for two to four groups. It also includes the option to match data of a 2x2 design. In addition, MAGMA includes a framework for evaluating the post-matching balance. The package includes functions for the matching process and matching reporting. We provide a tutorial on MAGMA as vignette. More information on MAGMA can be found in Feuchter, M. D., Urban, J., Scherrer V., Breit, M. L., and Preckel F. (2022) <https://osf.io/p47nc/>.

Estimates key quantities in causal mediation analysis - including average causal mediation effects (indirect effects), average direct effects, total effects, and proportions mediated - in the presence of multiple uncausally related mediators. Methods are described by Jérolon et al., (2021) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2019-0088> and extended to accommodate survival outcomes as described by Domingo-Relloso et al., (2024) <doi:10.1101/2024.02.16.24302923>.

Kernel-based methods are powerful methods for integrating heterogeneous types of data. mixKernel aims at providing methods to combine kernel for unsupervised exploratory analysis. Different solutions are provided to compute a meta-kernel, in a consensus way or in a way that best preserves the original topology of the data. mixKernel also integrates kernel PCA to visualize similarities between samples in a non linear space and from the multiple source point of view <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btx682>. A method to select (as well as funtions to display) important variables is also provided <doi:10.1093/nargab/lqac014>.

Following the common types of measures of uncertainty for parameter estimation, two measures of uncertainty were proposed for model selection, see Liu, Li and Jiang (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11749-020-00737-9>. The first measure is a kind of model confidence set that relates to the variation of model selection, called Mac. The second measure focuses on error of model selection, called LogP. They are all computed via bootstrapping. This package provides functions to compute these two measures. Furthermore, a similar model confidence set adapted from Bayesian Model Averaging can also be computed using this package.

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 provides a collection of functions to perform various meta-analytical models through a unified mixed-effects framework, including standard univariate fixed and random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression, and non-standard extensions such as multivariate, multilevel, longitudinal, and dose-response models.

This package provides tools for econometric analysis and economic modelling with the traditional two-input Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function and with nested CES functions with three and four inputs. The econometric estimation can be done by the Kmenta approximation, or non-linear least-squares using various gradient-based or global optimisation algorithms. Some of these algorithms can constrain the parameters to certain ranges, e.g. economically meaningful values. Furthermore, the non-linear least-squares estimation can be combined with a grid-search for the rho-parameter(s). The estimation methods are described in Henningsen et al. (2021) <doi:10.4337/9781788976480.00030>.
