This package provides a collection of functions and data sets that support teaching a quantitative finance MS level course on Portfolio Construction and Risk Analysis, and the writing of a textbook for such a course. The package is unique in providing several real-world data sets that may be used for problem assignments and student projects. The data sets include cross-sections of stock data from the Center for Research on Security Prices, LLC (CRSP), corresponding factor exposures data from S&P Global, and several SP500 data sets.

Translating messages in R packages is managed using the po top-level directory and the gettext program. This package provides some helper functions for building this support in R packages, e.g. common validation & I/O tasks.

Create a parallel coordinates plot, using `htmlwidgets` package and `d3.js`.

Helps you determine the analysis window to use when analyzing densely-sampled time-series data, such as EEG data, using permutation testing (Maris & Oostenveld, 2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jneumeth.2007.03.024>. These permutation tests can help identify the timepoints where significance of an effect begins and ends, and the results can be plotted in various types of heatmap for reporting. Mixed-effects models are supported using an implementation of the approach by Lee & Braun (2012) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2011.01675.x>.

In the big data setting, working data sets are often distributed on multiple machines. However, classical statistical methods are often developed to solve the problems of single estimation or inference. We employ a novel parallel quasi-likelihood method in generalized linear models, to make the variances between different sub-estimators relatively similar. Estimates are obtained from projection subsets of data and later combined by suitably-chosen unknown weights. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo G. (2020) <doi:10.1007/s00180-020-00974-4>.

Uses provenance post-execution to help the user understand and debug their script by providing functions to look at intermediate steps and data values, their forwards and backwards lineage, and to understand the steps leading up to warning and error messages. provDebugR uses provenance produced by rdtLite (available on CRAN), stored in PROV-JSON format.

Matches cases to controls based on genotype principal components (PC). In order to produce better results, matches are based on the weighted distance of PCs where the weights are equal to the % variance explained by that PC. A weighted Mahalanobis distance metric (Kidd et al. (1987) <DOI:10.1016/0031-3203(87)90066-5>) is used to determine matches.

Computes power and level tables for goodness-of-fit tests for the normal, Laplace, and uniform distributions. Generates output in LaTeX format to facilitate reporting and reproducibility. Explanatory graphs help visualize the statistical power of test statistics under various alternatives. For more details, see Lafaye De Micheaux and Tran (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v069.i03>.

This package contains a dataset of words used in 15.000 randomly extracted pages from the Portuguese Wikipedia (<https://pt.wikipedia.org/>).

Data and analysis from an experiment with improving touch typing speed, using the tDCS PlatoWork headset produced by PlatoScience.

This package provides a comprehensive set of tools for describing and visualizing panel data structures, as well as for summarizing and visualizing variables within a panel data context.

Bayesian network learning using the PCHC, FEDHC, MMHC and variants of these algorithms. PCHC stands for PC Hill-Climbing, a new hybrid algorithm that uses PC to construct the skeleton of the BN and then applies the Hill-Climbing greedy search. More algorithms and variants have been added, such as MMHC, FEDHC, and the Tabu search variants, PCTABU, MMTABU and FEDTABU. The relevant papers are: a) Tsagris M. (2021). "A new scalable Bayesian network learning algorithm with applications to economics". Computational Economics, 57(1): 341-367. <doi:10.1007/s10614-020-10065-7>. b) Tsagris M. (2022).

Population genetic analyses for hierarchical analysis of partially clonal populations built upon the architecture of the adegenet package. Originally described in Kamvar, Tabima, and Grünwald (2014) <doi:10.7717/peerj.281> with version 2.0 described in Kamvar, Brooks, and Grünwald (2015) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2015.00208>.

This package provides functions for creating color palettes, visualizing palettes, modifying colors, and assigning colors for plotting.

This package provides a PEP, or Portable Encapsulated Project, is a dataset that subscribes to the PEP structure for organizing metadata. It is written using a simple YAML + CSV format, it is your one-stop solution to metadata management across data analysis environments. This package reads this standardized project configuration structure into R. Described in Sheffield et al. (2021) <doi:10.1093/gigascience/giab077>.

Tests for a comparison of two partially overlapping samples. A comparison of means using the partially overlapping samples t-test: See Derrick, Russ, Toher and White (2017), Test statistics for the comparison of means for two samples which include both paired observations and independent observations, Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods, 16(1). A comparison of proportions using the partially overlapping samples z-test: See Derrick, Dobson-Mckittrick, Toher and White (2015), Test statistics for comparing two proportions with partially overlapping samples.

Estimates DNA target concentration by classifying digital PCR (polymerase chain reaction) droplets as positive, negative, or rain, using Expectation-Maximization Clustering. The fitting is accomplished using the EMMIXskew R package (v. 1.0.3) by Kui Wang, Angus Ng, and Geoff McLachlan (2018) as based on their paper "Multivariate Skew t Mixture Models: Applications to Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting Data" <doi:10.1109/DICTA.2009.88>.

Easily visualize and animate tabledap and griddap objects obtained via the rerddap package in a simple one-line command, using either base graphics or ggplot2 graphics. plotdap handles extracting and reshaping the data, map projections and continental outlines. Optionally the data can be animated through time using the gganmiate package.

This package provides functions for graph-based multiple-sample testing and visualization of microbiome data, in particular data stored in phyloseq objects. The tests are based on those described in Friedman and Rafsky (1979) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/2958919>, and the tests are described in more detail in Callahan et al. (2016) <doi:10.12688/f1000research.8986.1>.
