This package provides methods for constructing and maintaining a database of presentations in R. The presentations are either ones that the user gives or gave or presentations at a particular event or event series. The package also provides a plot method for the interactive mapping of the presentations using leaflet by grouping them according to country, city, year and other presentation attributes. The markers on the map come with popups providing presentation details (title, institution, event, links to materials and events, and so on).

Spatiotemporal individual-level model of seasonal infectious disease transmission within the Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered-Susceptible (SEIRS) framework are applied to model seasonal infectious disease transmission. This package employs a likelihood based Monte Carlo Expectation Conditional Maximization (MCECM) algorithm for estimating model parameters. In addition to model fitting and parameter estimation, the package offers functions for calculating AIC using real pandemic data and conducting simulation studies customized to user-specified model configurations.

Two-step and maximum likelihood estimation of Heckman-type sample selection models: standard sample selection models (Tobit-2), endogenous switching regression models (Tobit-5), sample selection models with binary dependent outcome variable, interval regression with sample selection (only ML estimation), and endogenous treatment effects models. These methods are described in the three vignettes that are included in this package and in econometric textbooks such as Greene (2011, Econometric Analysis, 7th edition, Pearson).

Sentiment Analysis via deep learning and gradient boosting models with a lot of the underlying hassle taken care of to make the process as simple as possible. In addition to out-performing traditional, lexicon-based sentiment analysis (see <https://benwiseman.github.io/sentiment.ai/#Benchmarks>), it also allows the user to create embedding vectors for text which can be used in other analyses. GPU acceleration is supported on Windows and Linux.

It provides functions that intend to (1) make it easier for users familiar with Python to work with strings, (2) reduce the complexity often associated with string operations, (3) and enable users to write more readable and maintainable code that manipulates strings.

The aim of the spatial downscaling is to increase the spatial resolution of the gridded geospatial input data. This package contains two deep learning based spatial downscaling methods, super-resolution deep residual network (SRDRN) (Wang et al., 2021 <doi:10.1029/2020WR029308>) and UNet (Ronneberger et al., 2015 <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-24574-4_28>), along with a statistical baseline method bias correction and spatial disaggregation (Wood et al., 2004 <doi:10.1023/B:CLIM.0000013685.99609.9e>). The SRDRN and UNet methods are implemented to optionally account for cyclical temporal patterns in case of spatio-temporal data. For more details of the methods, see Sipilä et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.13753>.

Single-cell Interpretable Tensor Decomposition (scITD) employs the Tucker tensor decomposition to extract multicell-type gene expression patterns that vary across donors/individuals. This tool is geared for use with single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets consisting of many source donors. The method has a wide range of potential applications, including the study of inter-individual variation at the population-level, patient sub-grouping/stratification, and the analysis of sample-level batch effects. Each "multicellular process" that is extracted consists of (A) a multi cell type gene loadings matrix and (B) a corresponding donor scores vector indicating the level at which the corresponding loadings matrix is expressed in each donor. Additional methods are implemented to aid in selecting an appropriate number of factors and to evaluate stability of the decomposition. Additional tools are provided for downstream analysis, including integration of gene set enrichment analysis and ligand-receptor analysis. Tucker, L.R. (1966) <doi:10.1007/BF02289464>.

Creation of an individual claims simulator which generates various features of non-life insurance claims. An initial set of test parameters, designed to mirror the experience of an Auto Liability portfolio, were set up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of individual claims (see vignette). The simulated data set then allows practitioners to back-test the validity of various reserving models and to prove and/or disprove certain actuarial assumptions made in claims modelling. The distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can be easily modified by users to match their experiences.

With satin functions, visualisation, data extraction and further analysis like producing climatologies from several images, and anomalies of satellite derived ocean data can be easily done. Reading functions can import a user defined geographical extent of data stored in netCDF files. Currently supported ocean data sources include NASA's Oceancolor web page <https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/>, sensors VIIRS-SNPP; MODIS-Terra; MODIS-Aqua; and SeaWiFS. Available variables from this source includes chlorophyll concentration, sea surface temperature (SST), and several others. Data sources specific for SST that can be imported too includes Pathfinder AVHRR <https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/avhrr-pathfinder-sst> and GHRSST <https://www.ghrsst.org/>. In addition, ocean productivity data produced by Oregon State University can also be handled previous conversion from HDF4 to HDF5 format. Many other ocean variables can be processed by importing netCDF data files from two European Union's Copernicus Marine Service databases <https://marine.copernicus.eu/>, namely Global Ocean Physical Reanalysis and Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Hindcast.
