This package provides a re-implementation of quantile kriging. Quantile kriging was described by Plumlee and Tuo (2014) <doi:10.1080/00401706.2013.860919>. With computational savings when dealing with replication from the recent paper by Binois, Gramacy, and Ludovski (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1458625> it is now possible to apply quantile kriging to a wider class of problems. In addition to fitting the model, other useful tools are provided such as the ability to automatically perform leave-one-out cross validation.

This package provides functions for simulation, estimation, and model selection of finite mixtures of Tukey g-and-h distributions.

This package provides advanced functionality for performing configurational comparative research with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), including crisp-set, multi-value, and fuzzy-set QCA. It also offers advanced tools for sensitivity diagnostics and methodological evaluations of QCA.

The quantity-intensity (Q/I) relationships, first introduced by Beckett (1964), can be employed to assess the K supplying capacity of different soils based on solid-solution exchange equilibria. Such relationships describe the changes in K+ concentration in the soil solution (or the intensity factor) in relation to the corresponding changes in K+ at exchange sites of the soil (or the capacity or quantity factor). Activity ratio of K to Ca or Ca+Mg is generally used as the variable denoting the intensity, whereas, change in exchangeable K is used to denote the quantity factor.

Fits non-crossing regression quantiles as a function of linear covariates and multiple smooth terms, including varying coefficients, via B-splines with L1-norm difference penalties. Random intercepts and variable selection are allowed via the lasso penalties. The smoothing parameters are estimated as part of the model fitting, see Muggeo and others (2021) <doi:10.1177/1471082X20929802>. Monotonicity and concavity constraints on the fitted curves are allowed, see Muggeo and others (2013) <doi:10.1007/s10651-012-0232-1>, and also <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.12924.85122> or <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.29306.21445> some code examples.

QuantLib bindings are provided for R using Rcpp via an evolved version of the initial header-only Quantuccia project offering an subset of QuantLib (now maintained separately just for the calendaring subset). See the included file AUTHORS for a full list of contributors to QuantLib (and hence also Quantuccia').

Create static QR codes in R. The content of the QR code is exactly what the user defines. We don't add a redirect URL, making it impossible for us to track the usage of the QR code. This allows to generate fast, free to use and privacy friendly QR codes.

Implementation of the food safety restaurant grading system adopted by Public Health - Seattle & King County (see Ashwood, Z.C., Elias, B., and Ho. D.E. "Improving the Reliability of Food Safety Disclosure: A Quantile Adjusted Restaurant Grading System for Seattle-King County" (working paper)). As reported in the accompanying paper, this package allows jurisdictions to easily implement refinements that address common challenges with unadjusted grading systems. First, in contrast to unadjusted grading, where the most recent single routine inspection is the primary determinant of a grade, grading inputs are allowed to be flexible. For instance, it is straightforward to base the grade on average inspection scores across multiple inspection cycles. Second, the package can identify quantile cutoffs by inputting substantively meaningful regulatory thresholds (e.g., the proportion of establishments receiving sufficient violation points to warrant a return visit). Third, the quantile adjustment equalizes the proportion of establishments in a flexible number of grading categories (e.g., A/B/C) across areas (e.g., ZIP codes, inspector areas) to account for inspector differences. Fourth, the package implements a refined quantile adjustment that addresses two limitations with the stats::quantile() function when applied to inspection score datasets with large numbers of score ties. The quantile adjustment algorithm iterates over quantiles until, over all restaurants in all areas, grading proportions are within a tolerance of desired global proportions. In addition the package allows a modified definition of "quantile" from "Nearest Rank". Instead of requiring that at least p[1]% of restaurants receive the top grade and at least (p[1]+p[2])% of restaurants receive the top or second best grade for quantiles p, the algorithm searches for cutoffs so that as close as possible p[1]% of restaurants receive the top grade, and as close as possible to p[2]% of restaurants receive the second top grade.

Non-parametric methods as local normal regression, polynomial local regression and penalized cubic B-splines regression are used to estimate quantiles curves. See Fan and Gijbels (1996) <doi:10.1201/9780203748725> and Perperoglou et al.(2019) <doi:10.1186/s12874-019-0666-3>.

Extensions of ggplot2 Q-Q plot functionalities.

Uses the fst package to store genotype probabilities on disk for the qtl2 package. These genotype probabilities are a central data object for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL), but they can be quite large. The facilities in this package enable the genotype probabilities to be stored on disk, leading to reduced memory usage with only a modest increase in computation time.

This package provides a set of functions for taking qualitative GIS data, hand drawn on a map, and converting it to a simple features object. These tools are focused on data that are drawn on a map that contains some type of polygon features. For each area identified on the map, the id numbers of these polygons can be entered as vectors and transformed using qualmap.

Presents an explanatory animation of normal quantile-quantile plots based on a water-filling analogy. The animation presents a normal QQ plot as the parametric plot of the water levels in vases defined by two distributions. The distributions decorate the axes in the normal QQ plot and are optionally shown as vases adjacent to the plot. The package draws QQ plots for several distributions, either as samples or continuous functions.

For fitting N-mixture models using either FFT or asymptotic approaches. FFT N-mixture models extend the work of Cowen et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12701>. Asymptotic N-mixture models extend the work of Dail and Madsen (2011) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2010.01465.x>, to consider asymptotic solutions to the open population N-mixture models. The FFT models are derived and described in "Parker, M.R.P., Elliott, L., Cowen, L.L.E. (2022).

Extends the quadprog package to solve quadratic programs with absolute value constraints and absolute values in the objective function.

The computation of quadratic form (QF) distributions is often not trivial and it requires numerical routines. The package contains functions aimed at evaluating the exact distribution of quadratic forms (QFs) and ratios of QFs. In particular, we propose to evaluate density, quantile and distribution functions of positive definite QFs and ratio of independent positive QFs by means of an algorithm based on the numerical inversion of Mellin transforms.
