In causal mediation analysis with multiple causally ordered mediators, a set of path-specific effects are identified under standard ignorability assumptions. This package implements an imputation approach to estimating these effects along with a set of bias formulas for conducting sensitivity analysis (Zhou and Yamamoto <doi:10.31235/osf.io/2rx6p>). It contains two main functions: paths() for estimating path-specific effects and sens() for conducting sensitivity analysis. Estimation uncertainty is quantified using the nonparametric bootstrap.

Deterministic Pena-Yohai initial estimator for robust S estimators of regression. The procedure is described in detail in Pena, D., & Yohai, V. (1999) <doi:10.2307/2670164>.

Estimation and inference of spatial and spatio-temporal semiparametric models including spatial or spatio-temporal non-parametric trends, parametric and non-parametric covariates and, possibly, a spatial lag for the dependent variable and temporal correlation in the noise. The spatio-temporal trend can be decomposed in ANOVA way including main and interaction functional terms. Use of SAP algorithm to estimate the spatial or spatio-temporal trend and non-parametric covariates. The methodology of these models can be found in next references Basile, R. et al.

Pattern Sequence Based Forecasting (PSF) takes univariate time series data as input and assist to forecast its future values. This algorithm forecasts the behavior of time series based on similarity of pattern sequences. Initially, clustering is done with the labeling of samples from database. The labels associated with samples are then used for forecasting the future behaviour of time series data. The further technical details and references regarding PSF are discussed in Vignette.

Log-multiplicative association models (LMA) are models for cross-classifications of categorical variables where interactions are represented by products of category scale values and an association parameter. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) fails for moderate to large numbers of categorical variables. The pleLMA package overcomes this limitation of MLE by using pseudo-likelihood estimation to fit the models to small or large cross-classifications dichotomous or multi-category variables. Originally proposed by Besag (1974, <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1974.tb00999.x>), pseudo-likelihood estimation takes large complex models and breaks it down into smaller ones. Rather than maximizing the likelihood of the joint distribution of all the variables, a pseudo-likelihood function, which is the product likelihoods from conditional distributions, is maximized. LMA models can be derived from a number of different frameworks including (but not limited to) graphical models and uni-dimensional and multi-dimensional item response theory models. More details about the models and estimation can be found in the vignette.

Read depth data from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) or restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) are imported and used to make Bayesian probability estimates of genotypes in polyploids or diploids. The genotype probabilities, posterior mean genotypes, or most probable genotypes can then be exported for downstream analysis. polyRAD is described by Clark et al.

In the era of big data, data redundancy and distributed characteristics present novel challenges to data analysis. This package introduces a method for estimating optimal subsets of redundant distributed data, based on PPCDT (Conjunction of Power and P-value in Distributed Settings). Leveraging PPC technology, this approach can efficiently extract valuable information from redundant distributed data and determine the optimal subset. Experimental results demonstrate that this method not only enhances data quality and utilization efficiency but also assesses its performance effectively. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo G. (2020) <doi:10.1007/s00180-020-00974-4>.
