Cross-Entropy optimisation of unconstrained deterministic and noisy functions illustrated in Rubinstein and Kroese (2004, ISBN: 978-1-4419-1940-3) through a highly flexible and customisable function which allows user to define custom variable domains, sampling distributions, updating and smoothing rules, and stopping criteria. Several built-in methods and settings make the package very easy-to-use under standard optimisation problems.

We fit inverse probability weighting estimator and the augmented inverse probability weighting for non-monotone missing at random data.

Closed testing has been proved powerful for true discovery guarantee. The computation of closed testing is, however, quite burdensome. A general way to reduce computational complexity is to combine partial closed testings for some prespecified feature sets of interest. Partial closed testings are performed at Bonferroni-corrected alpha level to guarantee the lower bounds for the number of true discoveries in prespecified sets are simultaneously valid. For any post hoc chosen sets of interest, coherence property is used to get the lower bound. In this package, we implement closed testing with globaltest to calculate the lower bound for number of true discoveries, see Ningning Xu et.al (2021) <arXiv:2001.01541> for detailed description.

This package provides a toolbox for calculating continuous norms for psychological tests, where the norms can be age-dependent. The norms are based Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, and Shape (GAMLSS) for the test scores in the normative sample. The package includes functions for model selection, reliability estimation, and calculating norms, including confidence intervals. For more details, see Timmerman et al. (2021) <doi:10.1037/met0000348>.

Nonparametric methods for analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are distribution-free and provide a flexible statistical framework for situations where the assumptions of parametric ANCOVA are violated or when the response variable is ordinal. This package implements several well-known nonparametric ANCOVA procedures, including Quade, Puri and Sen, McSweeney and Porter, Burnett and Barr, Hettmansperger and McKean, Shirley, and Puri-Sen-Harwell-Serlin. The package provides user-friendly functions to apply these methods in practice. These methods are described in Olejnik et al. (1985) <doi:10.1177/0193841X8500900104> and Harwell et al. (1988) <doi:10.1037/0033-2909.104.2.268>.

Simulates events from one dimensional nonhomogeneous Poisson point processes (NHPPPs) as per Trikalinos and Sereda (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2402.00358> and 2024, <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0311311>). Functions are based on three algorithms that provably sample from a target NHPPP: the time-transformation of a homogeneous Poisson process (of intensity one) via the inverse of the integrated intensity function (Cinlar E, "Theory of stochastic processes" (1975, ISBN:0486497996)); the generation of a Poisson number of order statistics from a fixed density function; and the thinning of a majorizing NHPPP via an acceptance-rejection scheme (Lewis PAW, Shedler, GS (1979) <doi:10.1002/nav.3800260304>).

Analysis of multivariate data with two-way completely randomized factorial design. The analysis is based on fully nonparametric, rank-based methods and uses test statistics based on the Dempster's ANOVA, Wilk's Lambda, Lawley-Hotelling and Bartlett-Nanda-Pillai criteria. The multivariate response is allowed to be ordinal, quantitative, binary or a mixture of the different variable types. The package offers two functions performing the analysis, one for small and the other for large sample sizes. The underlying methodology is largely described in Bathke and Harrar (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-39065-9_7> and in Munzel and Brunner (2000) <doi:10.1016/S0378-3758(99)00212-8> and in Kiefel and Bathke (2022) <doi:10.1515/stat-2022-0112>.

An efficient unified nonconvex penalized estimation algorithm for Gaussian (linear), binomial Logit (logistic), Poisson, multinomial Logit, and Cox proportional hazard regression models. The unified algorithm is implemented based on the convex concave procedure and the algorithm can be applied to most of the existing nonconvex penalties. The algorithm also supports convex penalty: least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Supported nonconvex penalties include smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD), minimax concave penalty (MCP), truncated LASSO penalty (TLP), clipped LASSO (CLASSO), sparse ridge (SRIDGE), modified bridge (MBRIDGE) and modified log (MLOG). For high-dimensional data (data set with many variables), the algorithm selects relevant variables producing a parsimonious regression model. Kim, D., Lee, S. and Kwon, S. (2018) <arXiv:1811.05061>, Lee, S., Kwon, S. and Kim, Y. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2015.08.019>, Kwon, S., Lee, S. and Kim, Y. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2015.07.001>.

Statistical tools for analyzing cognitive diagnosis (CD) data collected from small settings using the nonparametric classification (NPCD) framework. The core methods of the NPCD framework includes the nonparametric classification (NPC) method developed by Chiu and Douglas (2013) <DOI:10.1007/s00357-013-9132-9> and the general NPC (GNPC) method developed by Chiu, Sun, and Bian (2018) <DOI:10.1007/s11336-017-9595-4> and Chiu and Köhn (2019) <DOI:10.1007/s11336-019-09660-x>. An extension of the NPCD framework included in the package is the nonparametric method for multiple-choice items (MC-NPC) developed by Wang, Chiu, and Koehn (2023) <DOI:10.3102/10769986221133088>. Functions associated with various extensions concerning the evaluation, validation, and feasibility of the CD analysis are also provided. These topics include the completeness of Q-matrix, Q-matrix refinement method, as well as Q-matrix estimation.

Computes various geospatial indices of socioeconomic deprivation and disparity in the United States. Some indices are considered "spatial" because they consider the values of neighboring (i.e., adjacent) census geographies in their computation, while other indices are "aspatial" because they only consider the value within each census geography. Two types of aspatial neighborhood deprivation indices (NDI) are available: including: (1) based on Messer et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/s11524-006-9094-x> and (2) based on Andrews et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/17445647.2020.1750066> and Slotman et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.dib.2022.108002> who use variables chosen by Roux and Mair (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2009.05333.x>. Both are a decomposition of multiple demographic characteristics from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (ACS-5; 2006-2010 onward). Using data from the ACS-5 (2005-2009 onward), the package can also compute indices of racial or ethnic residential segregation, including but limited to those discussed in Massey & Denton (1988) <doi:10.1093/sf/67.2.281>, and additional indices of socioeconomic disparity.

Providing a common set of simplified web scraping tools for working with the NHS Data Dictionary <https://datadictionary.nhs.uk/data_elements_overview.html>. The intended usage is to access the data elements section of the NHS Data Dictionary to access key lookups. The benefits of having it in this package are that the lookups are the live lookups on the website and will not need to be maintained. This package was commissioned by the NHS-R community <https://nhsrcommunity.com/> to provide this consistency of lookups. The OpenSafely lookups have now been added <https://www.opencodelists.org/docs/>.
