Quantile regression with fixed effects is a general model for longitudinal data. Here we proposed to solve it by several methods. The estimation methods include three loss functions as check, asymmetric least square and asymmetric Huber functions; and three structures as simple regression, fixed effects and fixed effects with penalized intercepts by LASSO.

Computes profile extrema functions for arbitrary functions. If the function is expensive-to-evaluate it computes profile extrema by emulating the function with a Gaussian process (using package DiceKriging'). In this case uncertainty quantification on the profile extrema can also be computed. The different plotting functions for profile extrema give the user a tool to better locate excursion sets.

This package provides methods for building self-organizing maps (SOMs) with a number of distinguishing features such automatic centroid detection and cluster visualization using starbursts. For more details see the paper "Improved Interpretability of the Unified Distance Matrix with Connected Components" by Hamel and Brown (2011) in <ISBN:1-60132-168-6>. The package provides user-friendly access to two models we construct: (a) a SOM model and (b) a centroid based clustering model. The package also exposes a number of quality metrics for the quantitative evaluation of the map, Hamel (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-28518-4_4>. Finally, we reintroduced our fast, vectorized training algorithm for SOM with substantial improvements. It is about an order of magnitude faster than the canonical, stochastic C implementation <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-01057-7_60>.

Calculate common types of tables for weighted survey data. Options include topline and (2-way and 3-way) crosstab tables of categorical or ordinal data as well as summary tables of weighted numeric variables. Optionally, include the margin of error at selected confidence intervals including the design effect. The design effect is calculated as described by Kish (1965) <doi:10.1002/bimj.19680100122> beginning on page 257. Output takes the form of tibbles (simple data frames). This package conveniently handles labelled data, such as that commonly used by Stata and SPSS. Complex survey design is not supported at this time.

The aim of postpack is to provide the infrastructure for a standardized workflow for mcmc.list objects. These objects can be used to store output from models fitted with Bayesian inference using JAGS', WinBUGS', OpenBUGS', NIMBLE', Stan', or even custom MCMC algorithms. Although the coda R package provides some methods for these objects, it is somewhat limited in easily performing post-processing tasks for specific nodes. Models are ever increasing in their complexity and the number of tracked nodes, and oftentimes a user may wish to summarize/diagnose sampling behavior for only a small subset of nodes at a time for a particular question or figure. Thus, many postpack functions support performing tasks on a subset of nodes, where the subset is specified with regular expressions. The functions in postpack streamline the extraction, summarization, and diagnostics of specific monitored nodes after model fitting. Further, because there is rarely only ever one model under consideration, postpack scales efficiently to perform the same tasks on output from multiple models simultaneously, facilitating rapid assessment of model sensitivity to changes in assumptions.

Portable /proc/self/maps as a data frame. Determine which library or other region is mapped to a specific address of a process. -- R packages can contain native code, compiled to shared libraries at build or installation time. When loaded, each shared library occupies a portion of the address space of the main process. When only a machine instruction pointer is available (e.g. from a backtrace during error inspection or profiling), the address space map determines which library this instruction pointer corresponds to.

Creation and selection of PARAllel FACtor Analysis (PARAFAC) models of longitudinal microbiome data. You can import your own data with our import functions or use one of the example datasets to create your own PARAFAC models. Selection of the optimal number of components can be done using assessModelQuality() and assessModelStability(). The selected model can then be plotted using plotPARAFACmodel(). The Parallel Factor Analysis method was originally described by Caroll and Chang (1970) <doi:10.1007/BF02310791> and Harshman (1970) <https://www.psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/harshman/wpppfac0.pdf>.

This package provides functions to generate ensembles of generalized linear models using a greedy projected subset gradient descent algorithm. The sparsity and diversity tuning parameters are selected by cross-validation.

The 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association blood pressure guideline recommends using 10-year predicted atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk to guide the decision to initiate or intensify antihypertensive medication. The guideline recommends using the Pooled Cohort risk prediction equations to predict 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. This package implements the original Pooled Cohort risk prediction equations and also incorporates updated versions based on more contemporary data and statistical methods.

An implementation of the Partition Of variation (POV) method as developed by Dr. Thomas A Little <https://thomasalittleconsulting.com> in 1993 for the analysis of semiconductor data for hard drive manufacturing. POV is based on sequential sum of squares and is an exact method that explains all observed variation. It quantitates both the between and within factor variation effects and can quantitate the influence of both continuous and categorical factors.

Calculations of an information criterion are proposed to check the quality of simulations results of Agent-based models (ABM/IBM) or other non-linear rule-based models. The POMDEV measure (Pattern Oriented Modelling DEViance) is based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence and likelihood theory. It basically indicates the deviance of simulation results from field observations. Once POMDEV scores and metropolis-hasting sampling on different model versions are effectuated, POMIC scores (Pattern Oriented Modelling Information Criterion) can be calculated. This method could be further developed to incorporate multiple patterns assessment. Piou C, U Berger and V Grimm (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2009.05.003>.
