Several classes for moment-based models are defined. The classes are defined for moment conditions derived from a single equation or a system of equations. The conditions can also be expressed as functions or formulas. Several methods are also offered to facilitate the development of different estimation techniques. The methods that are currently provided are the Generalized method of moments (Hansen 1982; <doi:10.2307/1912775>), for single equations and systems of equation, and the Generalized Empirical Likelihood (Smith 1997; <doi:10.1111/j.0013-0133.1997.174.x>, Kitamura 1997; <doi:10.1214/aos/1069362388>, Newey and Smith 2004; <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00482.x>, and Anatolyev 2005 <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2005.00601.x>).

Epistasis, commonly defined as the interaction between genetic loci, is known to play an important role in the phenotypic variation of complex traits. As a result, many statistical methods have been developed to identify genetic variants that are involved in epistasis, and nearly all of these approaches carry out this task by focusing on analyzing one trait at a time. Previous studies have shown that jointly modeling multiple phenotypes can often dramatically increase statistical power for association mapping. In this package, we present the multivariate MArginal ePIstasis Test ('mvMAPIT') â a multi-outcome generalization of a recently proposed epistatic detection method which seeks to detect marginal epistasis or the combined pairwise interaction effects between a given variant and all other variants. By searching for marginal epistatic effects, one can identify genetic variants that are involved in epistasis without the need to identify the exact partners with which the variants interact â thus, potentially alleviating much of the statistical and computational burden associated with conventional explicit search based methods. Our proposed mvMAPIT builds upon this strategy by taking advantage of correlation structure between traits to improve the identification of variants involved in epistasis. We formulate mvMAPIT as a multivariate linear mixed model and develop a multi-trait variance component estimation algorithm for efficient parameter inference and P-value computation. Together with reasonable model approximations, our proposed approach is scalable to moderately sized genome-wide association studies. Crawford et al. (2017) <doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1006869>.

The developed methods (Chen and Maitra (2023) <doi:10.1002/hbm.26425>) include 2D and 3D clustering analyses (for p-values with voxel locations) and segmentation analyses (for p-values alone) for fMRI data where p-values indicate significant level of activation responding to stimulate of interesting.

Analysis pipelines (R scripts) utilizing this package (see examples in inst/workflow/') is also implemented with high performance techniques.

Computing package for Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) using Alkire-Foster method. Given N individuals, each person has D indicators of deprivation, the package compute MPI value to represent the degree of poverty in a population. The inputs are 1) an N by D matrix, which has the element (i,j) represents whether an individual i is deprived in an indicator j (1 is deprived and 0 is not deprived), and 2) the deprivation threshold. The main output is the MPI value, which has the range between zero and one. MPI value is approaching one if almost all people are deprived in all indicators, and it is approaching zero if almost no people are deprived in any indicator. Please see Alkire S., Chatterjee, M., Conconi, A., Seth, S. and Ana Vaz (2014) <doi:10.35648/20.500.12413/11781/ii039> for The Alkire-Foster methodology.

This is an add-on package to the monobin package that simplifies its use. It provides shiny-based user interface (UI) that is especially handy for less experienced R users as well as for those who intend to perform quick scanning of numeric risk factors when building credit rating models. The additional functions implemented in monobinShiny that do no exist in monobin package are: descriptive statistics, special case and outliers imputation. The function descriptive statistics is exported and can be used in R sessions independently from the user interface, while special case and outlier imputation functions are written to be used with shiny UI.
