This package contains functions for simulating the linear fractional stable motion according to the algorithm developed by Mazur and Otryakhin <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-008> based on the method from Stoev and Taqqu (2004) <doi:10.1142/S0218348X04002379>, as well as functions for estimation of parameters of these processes introduced by Mazur, Otryakhin and Podolskij (2018) <arXiv:1802.06373>, and also different related quantities.

An R interface to estimate structured additive regression (STAR) models with BayesX'.

An easy way to analyze international large-scale assessments and surveys in education or any other dataset that includes replicated weights (Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR) weights, Jackknife replicate weights,...) while also allowing for analysis with multiply imputed variables (plausible values). It supports the estimation of univariate statistics (e.g. mean, variance, standard deviation, quantiles), frequencies, correlation, linear regression and any other model already implemented in R that takes a data frame and weights as parameters. It also includes options to prepare the results for publication, following the table formatting standards of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

An integrated set of tools to allow data users to conduct meteorological normalisation and counterfactual modelling for air quality data. The meteorological normalisation technique uses predictive random forest models to remove variation of pollutant concentrations so trends and interventions can be explored in a robust way. For examples, see Grange et al. (2018) <doi:10.5194/acp-18-6223-2018> and Grange and Carslaw (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.10.344>. The random forest models can also be used for counterfactual or business as usual (BAU) modelling by using the models to predict, from the model's perspective, the future. For an example, see Grange et al. (2021) <doi:10.5194/acp-2020-1171>.

This package provides fast, persistent (side-effect-free) stack, queue and deque (double-ended-queue) data structures. While deques include a superset of functionality provided by queues, in these implementations queues are more efficient in some specialized situations. See the documentation for rstack, rdeque, and rpqueue for details.

The RMM fits Revenue Management Models using the RDE(Robust Demand Estimation) method introduced in the paper by <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3598259>, one of the customer choice-based Revenue Management Model. Furthermore, it is possible to select a multinomial model as well as a conditional logit model as a model of RDE.

This package provides a robust backfitting algorithm for additive models based on (robust) local polynomial kernel smoothers. It includes both bounded and re-descending (kernel) M-estimators, and it computes predictions for points outside the training set if desired. See Boente, Martinez and Salibian-Barrera (2017) <doi:10.1080/10485252.2017.1369077> and Martinez and Salibian-Barrera (2021) <doi:10.21105/joss.02992> for details.

Estimates the rearranged dependence measure ('RDM') of two continuous random variables for different underlying measures. Furthermore, it provides a method to estimate the (SI)-rearrangement copula using empirical checkerboard copulas. It is based on the theoretical results presented in Strothmann et al. (2022) <arXiv:2201.03329> and Strothmann (2021) <doi:10.17877/DE290R-22733>.

An approach to age-depth modelling that uses Bayesian statistics to reconstruct accumulation histories for deposits, through combining radiocarbon and other dates with prior information on accumulation rates and their variability. See Blaauw & Christen (2011).

This package provides a suite of methods to fit and predict case count data using a compartmental SIRS (Susceptible â Infectious â Recovered â Susceptible) model, based on an assumed specification of the effective reproduction number. The significance of this approach is that it relates epidemic progression to the average number of contacts of infected individuals, which decays as a function of the total susceptible fraction remaining in the population. The main functions are pred.curve(), which computes the epidemic curve for a set of parameters, and estimate.mle(), which finds the best fitting curve to observed data. The easiest way to pass arguments to the functions is via a config file, which contains input settings required for prediction, and the package offers two methods, navigate_to_config() which points the user to the configuration file, and re_predict() for starting the fit-predict process. The main model was published in Razvan G. Romanescu et al. <doi:10.1016/j.epidem.2023.100708>.

This package provides a pure R implementation of the median cut algorithm. Extracts the dominant colors from an image, and turns them into a scale for use in plots or for fun!

Based on data of real user-agent strings, we can set filtering conditions and randomly sample user-agent strings from the user-agent string pool.

This package performs comparative bioavailability calculations for Average Bioequivalence with Expanding Limits (ABEL). Implemented are Method A / Method B and the detection of outliers. If the design allows, assessment of the empiric Type I Error and iteratively adjusting alpha to control the consumer risk. Average Bioequivalence - optionally with a tighter (narrow therapeutic index drugs) or wider acceptance range (South Africa: Cmax) - is implemented as well.

An implementation of Bayesian online changepoint detection (Adams and MacKay (2007) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.0710.3742>) with an option for probability based outlier detection and removal (Wendelberger et. al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2112.12899>). Building on the independent multivariate constant mean model implemented in the R package ocp', this package models multivariate data as multivariate normal about a linear trend, defined by user input covariates, with an unstructured error covariance. Changepoints are identified based on a probability threshold for windows of points.

REDCap Data Management - REDCap (Research Electronic Data CAPture; <https://projectredcap.org>) is a web application developed at Vanderbilt University, designed for creating and managing online surveys and databases and the REDCap API is an interface that allows external applications to connect to REDCap remotely, and is used to programmatically retrieve or modify project data or settings within REDCap, such as importing or exporting data. REDCapDM is an R package that allows users to manage data exported directly from REDCap or using an API connection. This package includes several functions designed for pre-processing data, generating reports of queries such as outliers or missing values, and following up on previously identified queries.

This package implements the rquery piped Codd-style query algebra using data.table'. This allows for a high-speed in memory implementation of Codd-style data manipulation tools.

Facilitates querying data from the â Facebook Marketing API', particularly for social science research <https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-apis/>. Data from the Facebook Marketing API has been used for a variety of social science applications, such as for poverty estimation (Marty and Duhaut (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41598-023-49564-6>), disease surveillance (Araujo et al. (2017) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1705.04045>), and measuring migration (Alexander, Polimis, and Zagheni (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11113-020-09599-3>). The package facilitates querying the number of Facebook daily/monthly active users for multiple location types (e.g., from around a specific coordinate to an administrative region) and for a number of attribute types (e.g., interests, behaviors, education level, etc). The package supports making complex queries within one API call and making multiple API calls across different locations and/or parameters.

This package provides reference classes implementing some useful data structures. The package implements these data structures by using the reference class R6. Therefore, the classes of the data structures are also reference classes which means that their instances are passed by reference. The implemented data structures include stack, queue, double-ended queue, doubly linked list, set, dictionary and binary search tree. See for example <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure> for more information about the data structures.
