The leaflet JavaScript library provides many plugins some of which are available in the core leaflet package, but there are many more. It is not possible to support them all in the core leaflet package. This package serves as an add-on to the leaflet package by providing extra functionality via leaflet plugins.

Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on symmetric lambda distribution framework is implemented for the study of return time-series in the financial market. Major features in the S&P500 index, such as regime identification, volatility clustering, and anti-correlation between return and volatility, can be extracted from HMM cleanly. Univariate symmetric lambda distribution is essentially a location-scale family of exponential power distribution. Such distribution is suitable for describing highly leptokurtic time series obtained from the financial market. It provides a theoretically solid foundation to explore such data where the normal distribution is not adequate. The HMM implementation follows closely the book: "Hidden Markov Models for Time Series", by Zucchini, MacDonald, Langrock (2016).

This package provides a graph proposed by Rosenbaum is useful for checking some properties of various sorts of latent scale, this program generates commands to obtain the graph using dot from graphviz'.

An updated implementation of R package ranger by Wright et al, (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01> for training and predicting from random forests, particularly suited to high-dimensional data, and for embedding in Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE) by van Buuren (2007) <doi:10.1177/0962280206074463>. Ensembles of classification and regression trees are currently supported. Sparse data of class dgCMatrix (R package Matrix') can be directly analyzed. Conventional bagged predictions are available alongside an efficient prediction for MICE via the algorithm proposed by Doove et al (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.10.025>. Trained forests can be written to and read from storage. Survival and probability forests are not supported in the update, nor is data of class gwaa.data (R package GenABEL'); use the original ranger package for these analyses.

Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly East-West oriented straight line).

This is for code management functions, NLP tools, a Monty Hall simulator, and for implementing my own variable reduction technique called Feed Reduction. The Feed Reduction technique is not yet published, but is merely a tool for implementing a series of binary neural networks meant for reducing data into N dimensions, where N is the number of possible values of the response variable.

Calculates landscape metrics for categorical landscape patterns in a tidy workflow. landscapemetrics reimplements the most common metrics from FRAGSTATS (<https://www.fragstats.org/>) and new ones from the current literature on landscape metrics. This package supports terra SpatRaster objects as input arguments. It further provides utility functions to visualize patches, select metrics and building blocks to develop new metrics.

This package contains functions to help create log files. The package aims to overcome the difficulty of the base R sink() command. The log_print() function will print to both the console and the file log, without interfering in other write operations.

Build powerful, linked-view dashboards in shiny applications. With a declarative, one-line setup, you can create bidirectional links between interactive components. When a user interacts with one element (e.g., clicking a map marker), all linked components (such as DT tables or other charts) instantly update. Supports leaflet maps, DT tables, plotly charts, and spatial data via sf objects out-of-the-box, with an extensible API for custom components.

Constructs tables of counts and proportions out of data sets with possibility to insert tables to Excel, Word, HTML, and PDF documents. Transforms tables to data suitable for modelling. Features Gibbs sampling based log-linear (NB2) and power analyses (original by Oleksandr Ocheredko <doi:10.35566/isdsa2019c5>) for tabulated data.

Persistent reproducible reporting by containerization of R Markdown documents.

This package provides a set of tools designed to enhance transparency and understanding of date-time manipulation functions from the lubridate package. It provides detailed feedback about the operations performed by lubridate functions, allowing users to better comprehend and debug their code. These insights serve as both a learning tool for newcomers and a debugging aid for programmers working with date-time data.

Local partial likelihood estimation by Fan, Lin and Zhou(2006)<doi:10.1214/009053605000000796> and simultaneous confidence band is a set of tools to test the covariates-biomarker interaction for survival data. Test for the covariates-biomarker interaction using the bootstrap method and the asymptotic method with simultaneous confidence band (Liu, Jiang and Chen (2015)<doi:10.1002/sim.6563>).

Bootstrap routines for nested linear mixed effects models fit using either lme4 or nlme'. The provided bootstrap() function implements the parametric, residual, cases, random effect block (REB), and wild bootstrap procedures. An overview of these procedures can be found in Van der Leeden et al.
