An implementation of the mixed neighbourhood selection (MNS) algorithm. The MNS algorithm can be used to estimate multiple related precision matrices. In particular, the motivation behind this work was driven by the need to understand functional connectivity networks across multiple subjects. This package also contains an implementation of a novel algorithm through which to simulate multiple related precision matrices which exhibit properties frequently reported in neuroimaging analysis.

Implementations of an estimator for the multivariate regression association measure (MRAM) proposed in Shih and Chen (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2025.108288> and its associated variable selection algorithm. The MRAM quantifies the predictability of a random vector Y from a random vector X given a random vector Z. It takes the maximum value 1 if and only if Y is almost surely a measurable function of X and Z, and the minimum value of 0 if Y is conditionally independent of X given Z. The MRAM generalizes the Kendall's tau copula correlation ratio proposed in Shih and Emura (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2020.104708> by employing the spatial sign function. The estimator is based on the nearest neighbor method, and the associated variable selection algorithm is adapted from the feature ordering by conditional independence (FOCI) algorithm of Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) <doi:10.1214/21-AOS2073>. For further details, see the paper Shih and Chen (2026) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2025.108288>.

The midasml package implements estimation and prediction methods for high-dimensional mixed-frequency (MIDAS) time-series and panel data regression models. The regularized MIDAS models are estimated using orthogonal (e.g. Legendre) polynomials and sparse-group LASSO (sg-LASSO) estimator. For more information on the midasml approach see Babii, Ghysels, and Striaukas (2021, JBES forthcoming) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2021.1899933>. The package is equipped with the fast implementation of the sg-LASSO estimator by means of proximal block coordinate descent. High-dimensional mixed frequency time-series data can also be easily manipulated with functions provided in the package.

This package performs maximum likelihood estimation for finite mixture models for families including Normal, Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal by using EM algorithm, together with Newton-Raphson algorithm or bisection method when necessary. It also conducts mixture model selection by using information criteria or bootstrap likelihood ratio test. The data used for mixture model fitting can be raw data or binned data. The model fitting process is accelerated by using R package Rcpp'.

This package provides a hybrid of the K-means algorithm and a Majorization-Minimization method to introduce a robust clustering. The reference paper is: Julien Mairal, (2015) <doi:10.1137/140957639>. The two most important functions in package MajMinKmeans are cluster_km() and cluster_MajKm(). Cluster_km() clusters data without Majorization-Minimization and cluster_MajKm() clusters data with Majorization-Minimization method. Both of these functions calculate the sum of squares (SS) of clustering. Another useful function is MajMinOptim(), which helps to find the optimum values of the Majorization-Minimization estimator.

The companion package provides all original data sets and functions that are used in the book "Model-Based Clustering and Classification for Data Science" by Charles Bouveyron, Gilles Celeux, T. Brendan Murphy and Adrian E. Raftery (2019, ISBN:9781108644181).

This package provides a tool for computing probabilities and other quantities that are relevant in selecting performance criteria for discrete trial training. The main function, miebl(), computes Bayesian and frequentist probabilities and bounds for each of n possible performance criterion choices when attempting to determine a student's true mastery level by counting their number of successful attempts at displaying learning among n trials. The reporting function miebl_re() takes output from miebl() and prepares it into a brief report for a specific criterion. miebl_cp() combines 2 to 5 distributions of true mastery level given performance criterion in one plot for comparison.

These guidelines are meant to provide a pragmatic, yet rigorous, help to drug developers and decision makers, since they are shaped by three fundamental ingredients: the clinically determined margin of detriment on OS that is unacceptably high (delta null); the benefit on OS that is plausible given the mechanism of action of the novel intervention (delta alt); and the quantity of information (i.e. survival events) it is feasible to accrue given the clinical and drug development setting. The proposed guidelines facilitate transparent discussions between stakeholders focusing on the risks of erroneous decisions and what might be an acceptable trade-off between power and the false positive error rate.

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes, and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for significant QTL. The program may run on a desktop or laptop computers. If marker genotypes in association mapping population are almost homozygous, these methods in this software are very effective. If there are many heterozygous marker genotypes, the IIIVmrMLM software is recommended.

This package contains a collection of datasets for working with machine learning tasks. It will contain datasets for supervised machine learning Jiang (2020)<doi:10.1016/j.beth.2020.05.002> and will include datasets for classification and regression. The aim of this package is to use data generated around health and other domains.

Computes the posterior model probabilities for standard meta-analysis models (null model vs. alternative model assuming either fixed- or random-effects, respectively). These posterior probabilities are used to estimate the overall mean effect size as the weighted average of the mean effect size estimates of the random- and fixed-effect model as proposed by Gronau, Van Erp, Heck, Cesario, Jonas, & Wagenmakers (2017, <doi:10.1080/23743603.2017.1326760>). The user can define a wide range of non-informative or informative priors for the mean effect size and the heterogeneity coefficient. Moreover, using pre-compiled Stan models, meta-analysis with continuous and discrete moderators with Jeffreys-Zellner-Siow (JZS) priors can be fitted and tested. This allows to compute Bayes factors and perform Bayesian model averaging across random- and fixed-effects meta-analysis with and without moderators. For a primer on Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis, see Gronau, Heck, Berkhout, Haaf, & Wagenmakers (2021, <doi:10.1177/25152459211031256>).

This package provides tools to conduct Monte Carlo simulations under different conditions (e.g., varying sample size, data normality) for structural equation models (SEMs). Data can be simulated based on user-defined factor loadings and correlations, with optional non-normality added via Fleishman's power method (1978) <doi:10.1007/BF02293811>. Once generated, models can be estimated using lavaan'. This package facilitates testing model performance across multiple simulation scenarios. When data generation is completed (or when generated data sets are given) model tests can also be run. Please cite as "Orçan, F. (2021). MonteCarloSEM An R Package to Simulate Data for SEM.
