Converts TXT and XML data curated by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Allows conversion of bulk data after downloading directly from the USPTO bulk data website, eliminating need for users to wrangle multiple data formats to get large patent databases in tidy, rectangular format. Data details can be found on the USPTO website <https://bulkdata.uspto.gov/>. Currently, all 3 formats: 1. TXT data (1976-2001); 2. XML format 1 data (2002-2004); and 3. XML format 2 data (2005-current) can be converted to rectangular, CSV format. Relevant literature that uses data from USPTO includes Wada (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11192-020-03674-4> and Plaza & Albert (2008) <doi:10.1007/s11192-007-1763-3>.

Consider a linear predictive regression setting with a potentially large set of candidate predictors.

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>.

R package to query and get data out of a Pumilio sound archive system (http://ljvillanueva.github.io/pumilio/).

Aims to utilize model-based clustering (unsupervised) for high dimensional and ultra large data, especially in a distributed manner. The code employs pbdMPI to perform a expectation-gathering-maximization algorithm for finite mixture Gaussian models. The unstructured dispersion matrices are assumed in the Gaussian models. The implementation is default in the single program multiple data programming model. The code can be executed through pbdMPI and MPI implementations such as OpenMPI and MPICH'. See the High Performance Statistical Computing website <https://snoweye.github.io/hpsc/> for more information, documents and examples.

Programmatic interface to the PhenoCam web services (<https://phenocam.nau.edu/webcam>). Allows for easy downloading of PhenoCam data directly to your R workspace or your computer and provides post-processing routines for consistent and easy timeseries outlier detection, smoothing and estimation of phenological transition dates. Methods for this package are described in detail in Hufkens et. al (2018) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12970>.

Psychometric mixture models based on flexmix infrastructure. At the moment Rasch mixture models with different parameterizations of the score distribution (saturated vs. mean/variance specification), Bradley-Terry mixture models, and MPT mixture models are implemented. These mixture models can be estimated with or without concomitant variables. See Frick et al. (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i07> and Frick et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/0013164414536183> for details on the Rasch mixture models.

Systematic conservation prioritization using mixed integer linear programming (MILP). It provides a flexible interface for building and solving conservation planning problems. Once built, conservation planning problems can be solved using a variety of commercial and open-source exact algorithm solvers. By using exact algorithm solvers, solutions can be generated that are guaranteed to be optimal (or within a pre-specified optimality gap). Furthermore, conservation problems can be constructed to optimize the spatial allocation of different management actions or zones, meaning that conservation practitioners can identify solutions that benefit multiple stakeholders. To solve large-scale or complex conservation planning problems, users should install the Gurobi optimization software (available from <https://www.gurobi.com/>) and the gurobi R package (see Gurobi Installation Guide vignette for details). Users can also install the IBM CPLEX software (<https://www.ibm.com/products/ilog-cplex-optimization-studio/cplex-optimizer>) and the cplexAPI R package (available at <https://github.com/cran/cplexAPI>). Additionally, the rcbc R package (available at <https://github.com/dirkschumacher/rcbc>) can be used to generate solutions using the CBC optimization software (<https://github.com/coin-or/Cbc>). For further details, see Hanson et al. (2025) <doi:10.1111/cobi.14376>.

Calculate POTH for treatment hierarchies from frequentist and Bayesian network meta-analysis. POTH quantifies the certainty in a treatment hierarchy. Subset POTH, POTH residuals, and best k treatments POTH can also be calculated to improve interpretation of treatment hierarchies.

Easy function for text-mining the PubMed repository based on defined sets of terms. The relationship between fix-terms (related to your research topic) and pub-terms (terms which pivot around your research focus) is calculated using the pointwise mutual information algorithm ('PMI'). Church, Kenneth Ward and Hanks, Patrick (1990) <https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/J90-1003/> A text file is generated with the PMI'-scores for each fix-term. Then for each collocation pairs (a fix-term + a pub-term), a text file is generated with related article titles and publishing years. Additional Author section will follow in the next version updates.
