The LAM package contains mean and covariance structure modelling for multivariate normally distributed data (mlnormal(); Longford, 1987; <doi:10.1093/biomet/74.4.817>), a general Metropolis-Hastings algorithm (amh(); Roberts & Rosenthal, 2001, <doi:10.1214/ss/1015346320>) and penalized maximum likelihood estimation (pmle(); Cole, Chu & Greenland, 2014; <doi:10.1093/aje/kwt245>).

This package implements methods for analyzing latent variable models with measurement error correction, including Item Response Theory (IRT) models. Provides tools for various correction methods such as Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), over-imputation, bootstrapping for robust standard errors, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), and Instrumental Variables (IV) based approaches.

Methods are described in a working paper (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2507.22218>.

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.

Estimation of the local false discovery rate using the method of moments.

Implementation of the methods described in Holzmann, Klar (2024) <doi: 10.1111/sjos.12733>. Lancaster correlation is a correlation coefficient which equals the absolute value of the Pearson correlation for the bivariate normal distribution, and is equal to or slightly less than the maximum correlation coefficient for a variety of bivariate distributions. Rank and moment-based estimators and corresponding confidence intervals are implemented, as well as independence tests based on these statistics.

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) data sets by Lievens et al. (2012) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkr775>. Provides one single tabular tidy data set in long format, encompassing three dilution series, targeted against the soybean Lectin endogene. Each dilution series was assayed in one of the following PCR-efficiency-modifying conditions: no PCR inhibition, inhibition by isopropanol and inhibition by tannic acid. The inhibitors were co-diluted along with the dilution series. The co-dilution series consists of a five-point, five-fold serial dilution. For each concentration there are 18 replicates. Each amplification curve is 60 cycles long. Original raw data file is available at the Supplementary Data section at Nucleic Acids Research Online <doi:10.1093/nar/gkr775>.

It provides a set of wrappers for base R's message(), warning(), and stop() functions that maintain identical functionality, but also log the handler message to an ndjson log file. No change in existing code is necessary to use this package, and only a few additional adjustments are needed to fully utilize its potential.

This package implements code to identify lexical competitors in a given list of words. We include many of the standard competitor types used in spoken word recognition research, such as functions to find cohorts, neighbors, and rhymes, amongst many others. The package includes documentation for using a variety of lexicon files, including those with form codes made up of multiple letters (i.e., phoneme codes) and also basic orthographies. Importantly, the code makes use of multiple CPU cores and vectorization when possible, making it extremely fast and able to handle large lexicons. Additionally, the package contains documentation for users to easily write new functions, allowing researchers to examine other relationships within a lexicon.

Complete analytical environment for the construction and analysis of matrix population models and integral projection models. Includes the ability to construct historical matrices, which are 2d matrices comprising 3 consecutive times of demographic information. Estimates both raw and function-based forms of historical and standard ahistorical matrices. It also estimates function-based age-by-stage matrices and raw and function-based Leslie matrices.

Computes the implied weights of linear regression models for estimating average causal effects and provides diagnostics based on these weights. These diagnostics rely on the analyses in Chattopadhyay and Zubizarreta (2023) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asac058> where several regression estimators are represented as weighting estimators, in connection to inverse probability weighting. lmw provides tools to diagnose representativeness, balance, extrapolation, and influence for these models, clarifying the target population of inference. Tools are also available to simplify estimating treatment effects for specific target populations of interest.
