This package provides a software package to perform Wombling, or boundary analysis, using the nimble Bayesian hierarchical modeling environment. Wombling is used widely to track regions of rapid change within the spatial reference domain. Specific functions in the package implement Gaussian process models for point-referenced spatial data followed by predictive inference on rates of change over curves using line integrals. We demonstrate model based Bayesian inference using posterior distributions featuring simple analytic forms while offering uncertainty quantification over curves. For more details on wombling please see, Banerjee and Gelfand (2006) <doi:10.1198/016214506000000041> and Halder, Banerjee and Dey (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2177166>.

Two implementations of canonical correlation analysis (CCA) that are based on iterated regression. By choosing the appropriate regression algorithm for each data domain, it is possible to enforce sparsity, non-negativity or other kinds of constraints on the projection vectors. Multiple canonical variables are computed sequentially using a generalized deflation scheme, where the additional correlation not explained by previous variables is maximized. nscancor() is used to analyze paired data from two domains, and has the same interface as cancor() from the stats package (plus some extra parameters). mcancor() is appropriate for analyzing data from three or more domains. See <https://sigg-iten.ch/learningbits/2014/01/20/canonical-correlation-analysis-under-constraints/> and Sigg et al. (2007) <doi:10.1109/MLSP.2007.4414315> for more details.

Despite that several tests for normality in stationary processes have been proposed in the literature, consistent implementations of these tests in programming languages are limited. Seven normality test are implemented. The asymptotic Lobato & Velasco's, asymptotic Epps, Psaradakis and Vávra, Lobato & Velasco's and Epps sieve bootstrap approximations, El bouch et al., and the random projections tests for univariate stationary process. Some other diagnostics such as, unit root test for stationarity, seasonal tests for seasonality, and arch effect test for volatility; are also performed. Additionally, the El bouch test performs normality tests for bivariate time series. The package also offers residual diagnostic for linear time series models developed in several packages.

Generates LaTeX code for drawing well-formatted neural network diagrams with TikZ'. Users have to define number of neurons on each layer, and optionally define neuron connections they would like to keep or omit, layers they consider to be oversized and neurons they would like to draw with lighter color. They can also specify the title of diagram, color, opacity of figure, labels of layers, input and output neurons. In addition, this package helps to produce LaTeX code for drawing activation functions which are crucial in neural network analysis. To make the code work in a LaTeX editor, users need to install and import some TeX packages including TikZ in the setting of TeX file.

This package provides several novel exact hypothesis tests with minimal assumptions on the errors. The tests are exact, meaning that their p-values are correct for the given sample sizes (the p-values are not derived from asymptotic analysis). The test for stochastic inequality is for ordinal comparisons based on two independent samples and requires no assumptions on the errors. The other tests include tests for the mean and variance of a single sample and comparing means in independent samples. All these tests only require that the data has known bounds (such as percentages that lie in [0,100]. These bounds are part of the input.
