R implementation of Quantile Data Envelopment Analysis. The package qDEA allows a user specified proportion of observations to lie external to a given Decision Making Units's (DMU's)reference hyperplane. qDEA can be used to detect and address influential outliers or to implement quantile benchmarking, as discussed in Atwood and Shaik (2020). Quantile benchmarking is accomplished by using heuristic procedures to find a DMU's closest input-output projection point in a specified direction while allowing a specified proportion of observations to lie external to the projected point's hyperplane. The qDEA package accommodates standard (DEA) and quantile DEA estimation, returns to scale CRS(constant),VRS(variable),DRS(decreasing) or IRS(increasing), the use of directional vectors, bias correction through subsample bootstrapping and subsample size selection procedures. The user can also recover each DMU's reference DMUs and external DMUs if desired. The implemented procedures are based on discussions in: Atwood and Shaik (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2020.03.054> Atwood and Shaik (2018) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-68678-3_4> Walden and Atwood (2023) <doi:10.1086/724932> Walden and Atwood (2025) <doi:10.1086/736554>.

G-computation for a set of time-fixed exposures with quantile-based basis functions, possibly under linearity and homogeneity assumptions. Effect measure modification in this method is a way to assess how the effect of the mixture varies by a binary, categorical or continuous variable. Reference: Alexander P. Keil, Jessie P. Buckley, Katie M. OBrien, Kelly K. Ferguson, Shanshan Zhao, and Alexandra J.

Conduct multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping under the framework of random-QTL-effect linear mixed model. First, each position on the genome is detected in order to obtain a negative logarithm P-value curve against genome position. Then, all the peaks on each effect (additive or dominant) curve are viewed as potential QTL, all the effects of the potential QTL are included in a multi-QTL model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes in doubled haploid population or by adaptive lasso in F2 population, and true QTL are identified by likelihood radio test. See Wen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bib/bby058>.

This package implements the Quantile Composite-based Path Modeling approach (Davino and Vinzi, 2016 <doi:10.1007/s11634-015-0231-9>; Dolce et al., 2021 <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00469-0>). The method complements the traditional PLS Path Modeling approach, analyzing the entire distribution of outcome variables and, therefore, overcoming the classical exploration of only average effects. It exploits quantile regression to investigate changes in the relationships among constructs and between constructs and observed variables.

This package provides a multivariate copula-based dependence measure. For more information, see Griessenberger, Junker, Trutschnig (2022), On a multivariate copula-based dependence measure and its estimation, Electronic Journal of Statistics, 16, 2206-2251.

Quantile-based estimators (Q-estimators) can be used to fit any parametric distribution, using its quantile function. Q-estimators are usually more robust than standard maximum likelihood estimators. The method is described in: Sottile G. and Frumento P. (2022). Robust estimation and regression with parametric quantile functions. <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2022.107471>.

Developed to perform the estimation and inference for regression coefficient parameters in longitudinal marginal models using the method of quadratic inference functions. Like generalized estimating equations, this method is also a quasi-likelihood inference method. It has been showed that the method gives consistent estimators of the regression coefficients even if the correlation structure is misspecified, and it is more efficient than GEE when the correlation structure is misspecified. Based on Qu, A., Lindsay, B.G. and Li, B. (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.4.823>.

This package provides a sigmoidal quantile function estimator based on a newly defined generalized expectile function. The generalized sigmoidal quantile function can estimate quantiles beyond the range of the data, which is important for certain applications given smaller sample sizes. The package is based on the method introduced in Hutson (2024) <doi:10.1080/03610918.2022.2032161>.

Offers a suite of functions to prepare questionnaire data for analysis (perhaps other types of data as well). By data preparation, I mean data analytic tasks to get your raw data ready for statistical modeling (e.g., regression). There are functions to investigate missing data, reshape data, validate responses, recode variables, score questionnaires, center variables, aggregate by groups, shift scores (i.e., leads or lags), etc. It provides functions for both single level and multilevel (i.e., grouped) data. With a few exceptions (e.g., ncases()), functions without an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., center_by()) act on atomic vectors, while functions with an "s" at the end of their primary word (e.g., centers_by()) act on multiple columns of a data.frame.

This package provides a brms'-like interface for fitting Bayesian regression models using INLA (Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations) and TMB (Template Model Builder).

Supports fixed and mixed effects models, multiple probability distributions, conditional effects plots, and posterior predictive checks with summary methods compatible with brms'. TMB integration provides fast ordinal regression capabilities. Implements methods adapted from emmeans for marginal means estimation and bayestestR for Bayesian inference assessment.

Fuel economy, size, performance, and price data for cars in Qatar in 2025. Mirrors many of the columns in mtcars, but uses (1) non-US-centric makes and models, (2) 2025 prices, and (3) metric measurements, making it more appropriate for use as an example dataset outside the United States.

This package provides functions are provided that implement the use of the Fieller's formula methodology, for calculating a confidence interval for a ratio of (commonly, correlated) means. See Fieller (1954) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1954.tb00159.x>. Here, the application of primary interest is to studies of insect mortality response to increasing doses of a fumigant, or, e.g., to time in coolstorage. The formula is used to calculate a confidence interval for the dose or time required to achieve a specified mortality proportion, commonly 0.5 or 0.99. Vignettes demonstrate link functions that may be considered, checks on fitted models, and alternative choices of error family. Note in particular the betabinomial error family.

This package provides a collection of routines for finding reference limits using, where appropriate, QQ methodology. All use a data vector X of cases from the reference population. The default is to get the central 95% reference range of the population, namely the 2.5 and 97.5 percentile, with optional adjustment of the range. Along with the reference limits, we want confidence intervals which, for historical reasons, are typically at 90% confidence. A full analysis provides six numbers: â the upper and the lower reference limits, and - each of their confidence intervals. For application details, see Hawkins and Esquivel (2024) <doi:10.1093/jalm/jfad109>.
