Connecting to databases requires boilerplate code to specify connection parameters and to set up sessions properly with the DBMS. This package provides a simple tool to fill two purposes: abstracting connection details, including secret credentials, out of your source code and managing configuration for frequently-used database connections in a persistent and flexible way, while minimizing requirements on the runtime environment.

This package provides functions to retrieve the location of R scripts loaded through the source() function or run from the command line using the Rscript command. This functionality is analogous to the Bash shell's $BASH_SOURCE[0]. Users can first set the project root's path relative to the script path and then all subsequent paths relative to the root. This system ensures that all paths lead to the same location regardless of where any script is executed/loaded from without resorting to the use of setwd() at the top of the scripts.

Supports penalized eigenvalue block-averaging and penalized regression p-values (Foldnes, Moss, Grønneberg, 2024) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2024.2372028>, including their extension to nested model comparison (Foldnes, Grønneberg, Moss, 2026) <doi:10.3758/s13428-026-02968-4>, as well as traditional p-values such as Satorra-Bentler. All p-values can be calculated using unbiased or biased gamma estimates (Du, Bentler, 2022) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2022.2063870> and two choices of chi square statistics. The tests apply to any minimum-discrepancy estimator -- ML, GLS, ULS, and categorical WLSMV/DWLS -- with experimental support for full-information maximum-likelihood (FIML) fits under missing data.

Monitoring reporting rates of subject-level clinical events (e.g. adverse events, protocol deviations) reported by clinical trial sites is an important aspect of risk-based quality monitoring strategy. Sites that are under-reporting or over-reporting events can be detected using bootstrap simulations during which patients are redistributed between sites. Site-specific distributions of event reporting rates are generated that are used to assign probabilities to the observed reporting rates. (Koneswarakantha 2024 <doi:10.1007/s43441-024-00631-8>).

Identify statistically significant flow clusters using the local spatial network autocorrelation statistic G_ij* proposed by Berglund and Karlström (1999) <doi:10.1007/s101090050013>. The metric, an extended statistic of Getis/Ord G ('Getis and Ord 1992) <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1992.tb00261.x>, detects a group of flows having similar traits in terms of directionality. You provide OD data and the associated polygon to get results with several parameters, some of which are defined by spdep package.

Spatio-temporal data have become increasingly popular in many research fields. Such data often have complex structures that are difficult to describe and estimate. This package provides reliable tools for modeling complicated spatio-temporal data. It also includes tools of online process monitoring to detect possible change-points in a spatio-temporal process over time. More specifically, the package implements the spatio-temporal mean estimation procedure described in Yang and Qiu (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7622>, the spatio-temporal covariance estimation procedure discussed in Yang and Qiu (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8315>, the three-step method for the joint estimation of spatio-temporal mean and covariance functions suggested by Yang and Qiu (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10463-021-00787-2>, the spatio-temporal disease surveillance method discussed in Qiu and Yang (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9150> that can accommodate the covariate effect, the spatial-LASSO-based process monitoring method proposed by Qiu and Yang (2023) <doi:10.1080/00224065.2022.2081104>, and the online spatio-temporal disease surveillance method described in Yang and Qiu (2020) <doi:10.1080/24725854.2019.1696496>.

Detects spatial and temporal groups in GPS relocations (Robitaille et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13215>). It can be used to convert GPS relocations to gambit-of-the-group format to build proximity-based social networks, and perform data-stream randomization methods suitable for GPS data. Also provides measures of intragroup social dynamics including distance and direction to leaders, centroids and nearest neighbours.

Spatial Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SSFA) is an original method for controlling the spatial heterogeneity in Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) models, for cross-sectional data, by splitting the inefficiency term into three terms: the first one related to spatial peculiarities of the territory in which each single unit operates, the second one related to the specific production features and the third one representing the error term.

This package provides tools for estimating, interpreting, and visualizing Spatial-X (SLX) regression models. Provides a formula-based interface with first-class support for variable-specific weights matrices, higher-order spatial lags, temporally-lagged spatial variables (TSLS), and tidy effects decomposition (direct, indirect, total). Designed to lower the barrier to SLX modeling for applied researchers who already work with sf and lm'-style formulas. Methods follow Wimpy, Whitten, and Williams (2021) <doi:10.1086/710089>.

This package implements a segmentation algorithm for multiple change-point detection in high-dimensional GARCH processes. It simultaneously segments GARCH processes by identifying common change-points, each of which can be shared by a subset or all of the component time series as a change-point in their within-series and/or cross-sectional correlation structure.

Median-of-means is a generic yet powerful framework for scalable and robust estimation. A framework for Bayesian analysis is called M-posterior, which estimates a median of subset posterior measures. For general exposition to the topic, see the paper by Minsker (2015) <doi:10.3150/14-BEJ645>.
