This package provides tools for multivariate outlier detection based on geometric properties of multivariate data using random directional projections. Observation-level outlier scores are computed by jointly probing radial magnitude and angular alignment through repeated projections onto random directions, with optional robust centering and covariance adjustment. In addition to global outlier scoring, the method produces dimension-level contribution measures to support interpretation of detected anomalies. Visualization utilities are included to summarize directional contributions for extreme observations.

Shiny UI to identify cliques of related constructs in repertory grid data. See Burr, King, & Heckmann (2020) <doi:10.1080/14780887.2020.1794088> for a description of the interpretive clustering (IC) method.

In the context of data fusion, the package provides a set of functions dedicated to the solving of recoding problems using optimal transportation theory (Gares, Guernec, Savy (2019) <doi:10.1515/ijb-2018-0106> and Gares, Omer (2020) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1775615>). From two databases with no overlapping part except a subset of shared variables, the functions of the package assist users until obtaining a unique synthetic database, where the missing information is fully completed.

Ordered homogeneity pursuit lasso (OHPL) algorithm for group variable selection proposed in Lin et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1016/j.chemolab.2017.07.004>. The OHPL method exploits the homogeneity structure in high-dimensional data and enjoys the grouping effect to select groups of important variables automatically. This feature makes it particularly useful for high-dimensional datasets with strongly correlated variables, such as spectroscopic data.

Optimal k Nearest Neighbours Ensemble is an ensemble of base k nearest neighbour models each constructed on a bootstrap sample with a random subset of features. k closest observations are identified for a test point "x" (say), in each base k nearest neighbour model to fit a stepwise regression to predict the output value of "x". The final predicted value of "x" is the mean of estimates given by all the models. The implemented model takes training and test datasets and trains the model on training data to predict the test data.

An implementation of several functions for feature extraction in ordinal time series datasets. Specifically, some of the features proposed by Weiss (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2019.1604370> can be computed. These features can be used to perform inferential tasks or to feed machine learning algorithms for ordinal time series, among others. The package also includes some interesting datasets containing financial time series. Practitioners from a broad variety of fields could benefit from the general framework provided by otsfeatures'.

The restricted optimal design method is implemented to optimally allocate a set of items that require calibration to a group of examinees. The optimization process is based on the method described in detail by Ul Hassan and Miller in their works published in (2019) <doi:10.1177/0146621618824854> and (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107177>. To use the method, preliminary item characteristics must be provided as input. These characteristics can either be expert guesses or based on previous calibration with a small number of examinees. The item characteristics should be described in the form of parameters for an Item Response Theory (IRT) model. These models can include the Rasch model, the 2-parameter logistic model, the 3-parameter logistic model, or a mixture of these models. The output consists of a set of rules for each item that determine which examinees should be assigned to each item. The efficiency or gain achieved through the optimal design is quantified by comparing it to a random allocation. This comparison allows for an assessment of how much improvement or advantage is gained by using the optimal design approach.

The oblique decision tree (ODT) uses linear combinations of predictors as partitioning variables in a decision tree. Oblique Decision Random Forest (ODRF) is an ensemble of multiple ODTs generated by feature bagging. Oblique Decision Boosting Tree (ODBT) applies feature bagging during the training process of ODT-based boosting trees to ensemble multiple boosting trees. All three methods can be used for classification and regression, and ODT and ODRF serve as supplements to the classical CART of Breiman (1984) <DOI:10.1201/9781315139470> and Random Forest of Breiman (2001) <DOI:10.1023/A:1010933404324> respectively.

Detection of overdispersion in count data for multiple regression analysis. Log-linear count data regression is one of the most popular techniques for predictive modeling where there is a non-negative discrete quantitative dependent variable. In order to ensure the inferences from the use of count data models are appropriate, researchers may choose between the estimation of a Poisson model and a negative binomial model, and the correct decision for prediction from a count data estimation is directly linked to the existence of overdispersion of the dependent variable, conditional to the explanatory variables. Based on the studies of Cameron and Trivedi (1990) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(90)90014-K> and Cameron and Trivedi (2013, ISBN:978-1107667273), the overdisp() command is a contribution to researchers, providing a fast and secure solution for the detection of overdispersion in count data. Another advantage is that the installation of other packages is unnecessary, since the command runs in the basic R language.

Assessment and diagnostics for comparing competing clustering solutions, using predictive models. The main intended use is for comparing clustering/classification solutions of ecological data (e.g. presence/absence, counts, ordinal scores) to 1) find an optimal partitioning solution, 2) identify characteristic species and 3) refine a classification by merging clusters that increase predictive performance. However, in a more general sense, this package can do the above for any set of clustering solutions for i observations of j variables.

I tend to repeat the same code chunks over and over again. At first, this was fine for me and I paid little attention to such redundancies. A little later, when I got tired of manually replacing Linux filepaths with the referring Windows versions, and vice versa, I started to stuff some very frequently used work-steps into functions and, even later, into a proper R package. And that's what this package is - a hodgepodge of various R functions meant to simplify (my) everyday-life coding work without, at the same time, being devoted to a particular scope of application.

The online principal component regression method can process the online data set. OPCreg implements the online principal component regression method, which is specifically designed to process online datasets efficiently. This method is particularly useful for handling large-scale, streaming data where traditional batch processing methods may be computationally infeasible.The philosophy of the package is described in Guo (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.physa.2024.130308>.

Multiple tools are now available for inferring the personalised germ line set from an adaptive immune receptor repertoire. Output from these tools is converted to a single format and supplemented with rich data such as usage and characterisation of novel germ line alleles. This data can be particularly useful when considering the validity of novel inferences. Use of the analysis provided is described in <doi:10.3389/fimmu.2019.00435>.

The popular population genetic software Treemix by Pickrell and Pritchard (2012) <DOI:10.1371/journal.pgen.1002967> estimates the number of migration edges on a population tree. However, it can be difficult to determine the number of migration edges to include. Previously, it was customary to stop adding migration edges when 99.8% of variation in the data was explained, but OptM automates this process using an ad hoc statistic based on the second-order rate of change in the log likelihood. OptM also has added functionality for various threshold modeling to compare with the ad hoc statistic.
