Pooling, backward and forward selection of linear, logistic and Cox regression models in multiply imputed datasets. Backward and forward selection can be done from the pooled model using Rubin's Rules (RR), the D1, D2, D3, D4 and the median p-values method. This is also possible for Mixed models. The models can contain continuous, dichotomous, categorical and restricted cubic spline predictors and interaction terms between all these type of predictors. The stability of the models can be evaluated using (cluster) bootstrapping. The package further contains functions to pool model performance measures as ROC/AUC, Reclassification, R-squared, scaled Brier score, H&L test and calibration plots for logistic regression models. Internal validation can be done across multiply imputed datasets with cross-validation or bootstrapping. The adjusted intercept after shrinkage of pooled regression coefficients can be obtained. Backward and forward selection as part of internal validation is possible. A function to externally validate logistic prediction models in multiple imputed datasets is available and a function to compare models. For Cox models a strata variable can be included.

Bayesian regularized quantile regression utilizing two major classes of shrinkage priors (the spike-and-slab priors and the horseshoe family of priors) leads to efficient Bayesian shrinkage estimation, variable selection and valid statistical inference. In this package, we have implemented robust Bayesian variable selection with spike-and-slab priors under high-dimensional linear regression models (Fan et al. (2024) <doi:10.3390/e26090794> and Ren et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/biom.13670>), and regularized quantile varying coefficient models (Zhou et al.(2023) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2023.107808>). In particular, valid robust Bayesian inferences under both models in the presence of heavy-tailed errors can be validated on finite samples. Additional models with spike-and-slab priors include robust Bayesian group LASSO and robust binary Bayesian LASSO (Fan and Wu (2025) <doi:10.1002/sta4.70078>). Besides, robust sparse Bayesian regression with the horseshoe family of (horseshoe, horseshoe+ and regularized horseshoe) priors has also been implemented and yielded valid inference results under heavy-tailed model errors(Fan et al.(2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2507.10975>). The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms of the proposed and alternative models are implemented in C++.

High-quality real-world data can be transformed into scientific real-world evidence for regulatory and healthcare decision-making using proven analytical methods and techniques. For example, propensity score (PS) methodology can be applied to select a subset of real-world data containing patients that are similar to those in the current clinical study in terms of baseline covariates, and to stratify the selected patients together with those in the current study into more homogeneous strata. Then, statistical methods such as the power prior approach or composite likelihood approach can be applied in each stratum to draw inference for the parameters of interest. This package provides functions that implement the PS-integrated real-world evidence analysis methods such as Wang et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1657133>, Wang et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1684309>, and Chen et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2020.1730877>.

We extend two general methods of moment estimators to panel vector autoregression models (PVAR) with p lags of endogenous variables, predetermined and strictly exogenous variables. This general PVAR model contains the first difference GMM estimator by Holtz-Eakin et al. (1988) <doi:10.2307/1913103>, Arellano and Bond (1991) <doi:10.2307/2297968> and the system GMM estimator by Blundell and Bond (1998) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(98)00009-8>. We also provide specification tests (Hansen overidentification test, lag selection criterion and stability test of the PVAR polynomial) and classical structural analysis for PVAR models such as orthogonal and generalized impulse response functions, bootstrapped confidence intervals for impulse response analysis and forecast error variance decompositions.

This package implements the Phylogeny-Guided Microbiome OTU-Specific Association Test method, which boosts the testing power by adaptively borrowing information from phylogenetically close OTUs (operational taxonomic units) of the target OTU. This method is built on a kernel machine regression framework and allows for flexible modeling of complex microbiome effects, adjustments for covariates, and can accommodate both continuous and binary outcomes.

An easy-to-use tool for implementing Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) in pharmacometric software such as Monolix', NONMEM', and nlmixr2', see Bräm et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s10928-023-09886-4> and Bräm et al. (2025) <doi:10.1002/psp4.13265>. The main functionality is to automatically generate structural model code describing computations within a neural network. Additionally, parameters and software settings can be initialized automatically. For using these additional functionalities with Monolix', pmxNODE interfaces with MonolixSuite via the lixoftConnectors package. The lixoftConnectors package is distributed with MonolixSuite (<https://monolixsuite.slp-software.com/r-functions/2024R1/package-lixoftconnectors>) and is not available from public repositories.

This package provides functions for conventionally formatting descriptive stats, reshaping data frames and formatting R output as HTML.

This package creates a non-negative low-rank approximate factorization of a sparse counts matrix by maximizing Poisson likelihood with L1/L2 regularization (e.g. for implicit-feedback recommender systems or bag-of-words-based topic modeling) (Cortes, (2018) <arXiv:1811.01908>), which usually leads to very sparse user and item factors (over 90% zero-valued). Similar to hierarchical Poisson factorization (HPF), but follows an optimization-based approach with regularization instead of a hierarchical prior, and is fit through gradient-based methods instead of variational inference.

This package provides functions to create high-quality, publication-ready plots for numeric and categorical data, including bar plots, violin plots, boxplots, line plots, error bars, correlation plots, linear model plots, odds ratio plots, and normality plots.

Basic functions to fit and predict periodic autoregressive time series models. These models are discussed in the book P.H. Franses (1996) "Periodicity and Stochastic Trends in Economic Time Series", Oxford University Press. Data set analyzed in that book is also provided. NOTE: the package was orphaned during several years. It is now only maintained, but no major enhancements are expected, and the maintainer cannot provide any support.

An API wrapper around the ProPublica API <https://projects.propublica.org/api-docs/congress-api/> for U.S. Congressional Bills. Users can include their API key, U.S. Congress, branch, and offset ranges, to return a dataframe of all results within those parameters. This package is different from the RPublica package because it is for the ProPublica U.S. Congress data API, and the RPublica package is for the Nonprofit Explorer, Forensics, and Free the Files data APIs.

The Penn World Table 10.x (<https://www.rug.nl/ggdc/productivity/pwt/>) provides information on relative levels of income, output, input, and productivity for 183 countries between 1950 and 2019.

Latent group structures are a common challenge in panel data analysis. Disregarding group-level heterogeneity can introduce bias. Conversely, estimating individual coefficients for each cross-sectional unit is inefficient and may lead to high uncertainty. This package addresses the issue of unobservable group structures by implementing the pairwise adaptive group fused Lasso (PAGFL) by Mehrabani (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.12.002>. PAGFL identifies latent group structures and group-specific coefficients in a single step. On top of that, we extend the PAGFL to time-varying coefficient functions (FUSE-TIME), following Haimerl et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2503.23165>.
