English is the native language for only 5% of the World population. Also, only 17% of us can understand this text. Moreover, the Latin alphabet is the main one for merely 36% of the total. The early computer era, now a very long time ago, was dominated by the US. Due to the proliferation of the internet, smartphones, social media, and other technologies and communication platforms, this is no longer the case. This package replaces base R string functions (such as grep(), tolower(), sprintf(), and strptime()) with ones that fully support the Unicode standards related to natural language and date-time processing. It also fixes some long-standing inconsistencies, and introduces some new, useful features. Thanks to ICU (International Components for Unicode) and stringi', they are fast, reliable, and portable across different platforms.

This package implements the smooth LASSO estimator for the function-on-function linear regression model described in Centofanti et al. (2020) <arXiv:2007.00529>.

This package provides tools for conditional and spatially dependent density estimation using Spatial Logistic Gaussian Processes (SLGPs). The approach represents probability densities through finite-rank Gaussian process priors transformed via a spatial logistic density transformation, enabling flexible non-parametric modeling of heterogeneous data. Functionality includes density prediction, quantile and moment estimation, sampling methods, and preprocessing routines for basis functions. Applications arise in spatial statistics, machine learning, and uncertainty quantification. The methodology builds on the framework of Leonard (1978) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1978.tb01655.x>, Lenk (1988) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1988.10478625>, Tokdar (2007) <doi:10.1198/106186007X210206>, Tokdar (2010) <doi:10.1214/10-BA605>, and is further aligned with recent developments in Bayesian non-parametric modelling: see Gautier (2023) <https://boristheses.unibe.ch/4377/>, and Gautier (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.02876>).

Extension to the spatstat package, containing interactive graphics capabilities.

The Statistical Package for REliability Data Analysis (SPREDA) implements recently-developed statistical methods for the analysis of reliability data. Modern technological developments, such as sensors and smart chips, allow us to dynamically track product/system usage as well as other environmental variables, such as temperature and humidity. We refer to these variables as dynamic covariates. The package contains functions for the analysis of time-to-event data with dynamic covariates and degradation data with dynamic covariates. The package also contains functions that can be used for analyzing time-to-event data with right censoring, and with left truncation and right censoring. Financial support from NSF and DuPont are acknowledged.

Single-cell Interpretable Tensor Decomposition (scITD) employs the Tucker tensor decomposition to extract multicell-type gene expression patterns that vary across donors/individuals. This tool is geared for use with single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets consisting of many source donors. The method has a wide range of potential applications, including the study of inter-individual variation at the population-level, patient sub-grouping/stratification, and the analysis of sample-level batch effects. Each "multicellular process" that is extracted consists of (A) a multi cell type gene loadings matrix and (B) a corresponding donor scores vector indicating the level at which the corresponding loadings matrix is expressed in each donor. Additional methods are implemented to aid in selecting an appropriate number of factors and to evaluate stability of the decomposition. Additional tools are provided for downstream analysis, including integration of gene set enrichment analysis and ligand-receptor analysis. Tucker, L.R. (1966) <doi:10.1007/BF02289464>.

Estimates the parameter of small area in binary data without auxiliary variable using Empirical Bayes technique, mainly from Rao and Molina (2015,ISBN:9781118735787) with book entitled "Small Area Estimation Second Edition". This package provides another option of direct estimation using weight. This package also features alpha and beta parameter estimation on calculating process of small area. Those methods are Newton-Raphson and Moment which based on Wilcox (1979) <doi:10.1177/001316447903900302> and Kleinman (1973) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1973.10481332>.

Tidies up the forecasting modeling and prediction work flow, extends the broom package with sw_tidy', sw_glance', sw_augment', and sw_tidy_decomp functions for various forecasting models, and enables converting forecast objects to "tidy" data frames with sw_sweep'.

Calculates maximum likelihood estimate, exact and asymptotic confidence intervals, and exact and asymptotic goodness of fit p-values for concentration of infectious units from serial limiting dilution assays. This package uses the likelihood equation, exact goodness of fit p-values, and exact confidence intervals described in Meyers et al. (1994) <http://jcm.asm.org/content/32/3/732.full.pdf>. This software is also implemented as a web application through the Shiny R package <https://iupm.shinyapps.io/sldassay/>.

Social risks are increasingly becoming a critical component of health care research. One of the most common ways to identify social needs is by using ICD-10-CM "Z-codes." This package identifies social risks using varying taxonomies of ICD-10-CM Z-codes from administrative health care data. The conceptual taxonomies come from: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (2021) <https://www.cms.gov/files/document/zcodes-infographic.pdf>, Reidhead (2018) <https://web.mhanet.com/>, A Arons, S DeSilvey, C Fichtenberg, L Gottlieb (2018) <https://sirenetwork.ucsf.edu/tools-resources/resources/compendium-medical-terminology-codes-social-risk-factors>.

Fits complex parametric models using the method proposed by Cox and Kartsonaki (2012) without likelihoods.

The functions sp() and sp_seq() compute the support points in Mak and Joseph (2018) <DOI:10.1214/17-AOS1629>. Support points can be used as a representative sample of a desired distribution, or a representative reduction of a big dataset (e.g., an "optimal" thinning of Markov-chain Monte Carlo sample chains). This work was supported by USARO grant W911NF-14-1-0024 and NSF DMS grant 1712642.

Apply the spectral residual algorithm to data, such as a time series, to detect anomalies. Anomaly scores can be used to determine outliers based upon a threshold or fed into more sophisticated prediction models. Methods are based upon "Time-Series Anomaly Detection Service at Microsoft", Ren, H., Xu, B., Wang, Y., et al., (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1906.03821>.

The stochastic (also called on-line) version of the Self-Organising Map (SOM) algorithm is provided. Different versions of the algorithm are implemented, for numeric and relational data and for contingency tables as described, respectively, in Kohonen (2001) <isbn:3-540-67921-9>, Olteanu & Villa-Vialaneix (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2013.11.047> and Cottrell et al (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.neunet.2004.07.010>. The package also contains many plotting features (to help the user interpret the results), can handle (and impute) missing values and is delivered with a graphical user interface based on shiny'.

Alternative to using withCallingHandlers() in the simple case of catch and rethrow. The `%!%` operator evaluates the expression on its left hand side, and if an error occurs, the right hand side is used to construct a new error that embeds the original error.

Scale alignment is a new procedure for rescaling dimensions of between-items multidimensional Rasch family models so that dimensions scores can be compared directly (Feuerstahler & Wilson, 2019; under review) <doi:10.1111/jedm.12209>. This package includes functions for implementing delta-dimensional alignment (DDA) and logistic regression alignment (LRA) for dichotomous or polytomous data. This function also includes a wrapper for models fit using the TAM package.

This package provides functions to be used in conjunction with the Sequential package that allows for planning of observational database studies that will be analyzed with exact sequential analysis. This package supports Poisson- and binomial-based data. The primary function, seq_wrapper(...), accepts parameters for simulation of a simple exposure pattern and for the Sequential package setup and analysis functions. The exposure matrix is used to simulate the true and false positive and negative populations (Green (1983) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a113521>, Brenner (1993) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a116805>). Functions are then run from the Sequential package on these populations, which allows for the exploration of outcome misclassification in data.
