Export Rcmdr output to LaTeX or HTML code. The plug-in was originally intended to facilitate exporting Rcmdr output to formats other than ASCII text and to provide R novices with an easy-to-use, easy-to-access reference on exporting R objects to formats suited for printed output. The package documentation contains several pointers on creating reports, either by using conventional word processors or LaTeX/LyX.

It is widely documented in psychology, economics and other disciplines that socio-economic agent may not pay full attention to all available alternatives, rendering standard revealed preference theory invalid. This package implements the estimation and inference procedures of Cattaneo, Ma, Masatlioglu and Suleymanov (2020) <arXiv:1712.03448> and Cattaneo, Cheung, Ma, and Masatlioglu (2022) <arXiv:2110.10650>, which utilizes standard choice data to partially identify and estimate a decision maker's preference and attention. For inference, several simulation-based critical values are provided.

This package provides a collection of functions for numerical construction of optimal discriminating designs. At the current moment T-optimal designs (which maximize the lower bound for the power of F-test for regression model discrimination), KL-optimal designs (for lognormal errors) and their robust analogues can be calculated with the package.

The metrics() function calculates measures of scholarly impact. These include conventional measures, such as the number of publications and the total citations to all publications, as well as modern and robust metrics based on the vector of citations associated with each publication, such as the h index and many of its variants or rivals. These methods are described in Ruscio et al. (2012) <DOI: 10.1080/15366367.2012.711147>.

Compute price indices using various Hedonic and multilateral methods, including Laspeyres, Paasche, Fisher, and HMTS (Hedonic Multilateral Time series re-estimation with splicing). The central function calculate_price_index() offers a unified interface for running these methods on structured datasets. This package is designed to support index construction workflows across a wide range of domains â including but not limited to real estate â where quality-adjusted price comparisons over time are essential. The development of this package was funded by Eurostat and Statistics Netherlands (CBS), and carried out by Statistics Netherlands. The HMTS method implemented here is described in Ishaak, Ouwehand and Remøy (2024) <doi:10.1177/0282423X241246617>. For broader methodological context, see Eurostat (2013, ISBN:978-92-79-25984-5, <doi:10.2785/34007>).

New Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samplers new to be thoroughly tested and their performance accurately assessed. This requires densities that offer challenging properties to the novel sampling algorithms. One such popular problem is the Rosenbrock function. However, while its shape lends itself well to a benchmark problem, no codified multivariate expansion of the density exists. We have developed an extension to this class of distributions and supplied densities and direct sampler functions to assess the performance of novel MCMC algorithms. The functions are introduced in "An n-dimensional Rosenbrock Distribution for MCMC Testing" by Pagani, Wiegand and Nadarajah (2019) <arXiv:1903.09556>.

This package provides functions for cleaning and summarising water quality data for use in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Service (NPDES) permit reasonable potential analyses and water quality-based effluent limitation calculations. Procedures are based on those contained in the "Technical Support Document for Water Quality-based Toxics Control", United States Environmental Protection Agency (1991).

We provide functions to perform taxometric analyses. This package contains 46 functions, but only 5 should be called directly by users. CheckData() should be run prior to any taxometric analysis to ensure that the data are appropriate for taxometric analysis. RunTaxometrics() performs taxometric analyses for a sample of data. RunCCFIProfile() performs a series of taxometric analyses to generate a CCFI profile. CreateData() generates a sample of categorical or dimensional data. ClassifyCases() assigns cases to groups using the base-rate classification method.

Biodiversity is in crisis. The overarching aim of conservation is to preserve biodiversity patterns and processes. To this end, protected areas are established to buffer species and preserve biodiversity processes. But resources are limited and so protected areas must be cost-effective. This package contains tools to generate plans for protected areas (prioritizations), using spatially explicit targets for biodiversity patterns and processes. To obtain solutions in a feasible amount of time, this package uses the commercial Gurobi software (obtained from <https://www.gurobi.com/>). For more information on using this package, see Hanson et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12862>.

This package implements Kornbrot's rank difference test as described in <doi:10.1111/j.2044-8317.1990.tb00939.x>. This method is a modified Wilcoxon signed-rank test which produces consistent and meaningful results for ordinal or monotonically-transformed data.

This package implements a robust multivariate control-chart methodology for batch-based industrial processes with multiple correlated variables using the Dual STATIS (Structuration des Tableaux A Trois Indices de la Statistique) framework. A robust compromise covariance matrix is constructed from Phase I batches with the Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) estimator, and a Hotelling-type T² statistic is applied for anomaly detection in Phase II. The package includes functions to simulate clean and contaminated batches, to compute both robust and classical Hotelling T² control charts, to visualize results via robust biplots, and to launch an interactive shiny dashboard. An internal dataset (pharma_data) is provided for reproducibility. See Lavit, Escoufier, Sabatier and Traissac (1994) <doi:10.1016/0167-9473(94)90134-1> for the original STATIS methodology, and Rousseeuw and Van Driessen (1999) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1999.10485670> for the MCD estimator.

We provide an implementation for Sum of Ranking Differences (SRD), a novel statistical test introduced by Héberger (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.trac.2009.09.009>. The test allows the comparison of different solutions through a reference by first performing a rank transformation on the input, then calculating and comparing the distances between the solutions and the reference - the latter is measured in the L1 norm. The reference can be an external benchmark (e.g. an established gold standard) or can be aggregated from the data. The calculated distances, called SRD scores, are validated in two ways, see Héberger and Kollár-Hunek (2011) <doi:10.1002/cem.1320>. A randomization test (also called permutation test) compares the SRD scores of the solutions to the SRD scores of randomly generated rankings. The second validation option is cross-validation that checks whether the rankings generated from the solutions come from the same distribution or not. For a detailed analysis about the cross-validation process see Sziklai, Baranyi and Héberger (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2105.11939>. The package offers a wide array of features related to SRD including the computation of the SRD scores, validation options, input preprocessing and plotting tools.

Calculates relevance and significance values for simple models and for many types of regression models. These are introduced in Stahel, Werner A. (2021) "Measuring Significance and Relevance instead of p-values." <https://stat.ethz.ch/~stahel/relevance/stahel-relevance2103.pdf>. These notions are also applied to replication studies, as described in the manuscript Stahel, Werner A. (2022) "'Replicability': Terminology, Measuring Success, and Strategy" available in the documentation.

Application of reinsurance treaties to claims portfolios. The package creates a class Claims whose objective is to store claims and premiums, on which different treaties can be applied. A statistical analysis can then be applied to measure the impact of reinsurance, producing a table or graphical output. This package can be used for estimating the impact of reinsurance on several portfolios or for pricing treaties through statistical analysis. Documentation for the implemented methods can be found in "Reinsurance: Actuarial and Statistical Aspects" by Hansjöerg Albrecher, Jan Beirlant, Jozef L. Teugels (2017, ISBN: 978-0-470-77268-3) and "REINSURANCE: A Basic Guide to Facultative and Treaty Reinsurance" by Munich Re (2010) <https://www.munichre.com/site/mram/get/documents_E96160999/mram/assetpool.mr_america/PDFs/3_Publications/reinsurance_basic_guide.pdf>.
