Sensitivity analysis for multiple outcomes in observational studies. For instance, all linear combinations of several outcomes may be explored using Scheffe projections in the comparison() function; see Rosenbaum (2016, Annals of Applied Statistics) <doi:10.1214/16-AOAS942>. Alternatively, attention may focus on a few principal components in the principal() function. The package includes parallel methods for individual outcomes, including tests in the senm() function and confidence intervals in the senmCI() function.

Variable selection techniques are essential tools for model selection and estimation in high-dimensional statistical models. Through this publicly available package, we provide a unified environment to carry out variable selection using iterative sure independence screening (SIS) (Fan and Lv (2008)<doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00674.x>) and all of its variants in generalized linear models (Fan and Song (2009)<doi:10.1214/10-AOS798>) and the Cox proportional hazards model (Fan, Feng and Wu (2010)<doi:10.1214/10-IMSCOLL606>).

This algorithm conducts variable selection in the classification setting. It repeatedly subsamples variables and runs linear discriminant analysis (LDA) on the subsampled variables. Variables are scored based on the AUC and the t-statistics. Variables then enter a competition and the semi-finalist variables will be evaluated in a final round of LDA classification. The algorithm then outputs a list of variable selected. Qiao, Sun and Fan (2017) <http://people.math.binghamton.edu/qiao/swa.html>.

This package implements the s-values proposed by Ed. Leamer. It provides a context-minimal approach for sensitivity analysis using extreme bounds to assess the sturdiness of regression coefficients.

This package provides a software package help user to create virtual species for species distribution modelling. It includes several methods to help user to create virtual species distribution map. Those maps can be used for Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) study. SDM use environmental data for sites of occurrence of a species to predict all the sites where the environmental conditions are suitable for the species to persist, and may be expected to occur.

This package provides tools for researchers to explicitly show that their results comply to rules for statistical disclosure control imposed by research data centers. These tools help in checking descriptive statistics and models and in calculating extreme values that are not individual data. Also included is a simple function to create log files. The methods used here are described in the "Guidelines for the checking of output based on microdata research" by Bond, Brandt, and de Wolf (2015) <https://cros.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2024-02/Output-checking-guidelines.pdf>.

Empirical likelihood methods for asymptotically efficient estimation of models based on conditional or unconditional moment restrictions; see Kitamura, Tripathi & Ahn (2004) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00550.x> and Owen (2013) <doi:10.1002/cjs.11183>. Kernel-based non-parametric methods for density/regression estimation and numerical routines for empirical likelihood maximisation are implemented in Rcpp for speed.

Generate continuous (normal or non-normal), binary, ordinal, and count (Poisson or Negative Binomial) variables with a specified correlation matrix. It can also produce a single continuous variable. This package can be used to simulate data sets that mimic real-world situations (i.e. clinical or genetic data sets, plasmodes). All variables are generated from standard normal variables with an imposed intermediate correlation matrix. Continuous variables are simulated by specifying mean, variance, skewness, standardized kurtosis, and fifth and sixth standardized cumulants using either Fleishman's third-order (<DOI:10.1007/BF02293811>) or Headrick's fifth-order (<DOI:10.1016/S0167-9473(02)00072-5>) polynomial transformation. Binary and ordinal variables are simulated using a modification of the ordsample() function from GenOrd'. Count variables are simulated using the inverse cdf method. There are two simulation pathways which differ primarily according to the calculation of the intermediate correlation matrix. In Correlation Method 1, the intercorrelations involving count variables are determined using a simulation based, logarithmic correlation correction (adapting Yahav and Shmueli's 2012 method, <DOI:10.1002/asmb.901>). In Correlation Method 2, the count variables are treated as ordinal (adapting Barbiero and Ferrari's 2015 modification of GenOrd, <DOI:10.1002/asmb.2072>). There is an optional error loop that corrects the final correlation matrix to be within a user-specified precision value of the target matrix. The package also includes functions to calculate standardized cumulants for theoretical distributions or from real data sets, check if a target correlation matrix is within the possible correlation bounds (given the distributions of the simulated variables), summarize results (numerically or graphically), to verify valid power method pdfs, and to calculate lower standardized kurtosis bounds.

This package provides a covariance estimator for multivariate normal data that is sparse and positive definite. Implements the majorize-minimize algorithm described in Bien, J., and Tibshirani, R. (2011), "Sparse Estimation of a Covariance Matrix," Biometrika. 98(4). 807--820.

Create sets of variables based on a mutual information approach. In this context, a set is a collection of distinct elements (e.g., variables) that can also be treated as a single entity. Mutual information, a concept from probability theory, quantifies the dependence between two variables by expressing how much information about one variable can be gained from observing the other. Furthermore, you can analyze, and visualize these sets in order to better understand the relationships among variables.

This package provides functions to perform most of the common analysis in genome association studies are implemented. These analyses include descriptive statistics and exploratory analysis of missing values, calculation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, analysis of association based on generalized linear models (either for quantitative or binary traits), and analysis of multiple SNPs (haplotype and epistasis analysis). Permutation test and related tests (sum statistic and truncated product) are also implemented. Max-statistic and genetic risk-allele score exact distributions are also possible to be estimated. The methods are described in Gonzalez JR et al., 2007 <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btm025>.

This package provides functions to estimate a strategic selection estimator. A strategic selection estimator is an agent error model in which the two random components are not assumed to be orthogonal.

This package implements Bayesian inference in accelerated failure time (AFT) models for right-censored survival times assuming a log-logistic distribution. Details of the variational Bayes algorithms, with and without shared frailty, are described in Xian et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10365-6> and Xian et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2408.00177>, respectively.

Perform variable selection for the spatial Poisson regression model under the adaptive elastic net penalty. Spatial count data with covariates is the input. We use a spatial Poisson regression model to link the spatial counts and covariates. For maximization of the likelihood under adaptive elastic net penalty, we implemented the penalized quasi-likelihood (PQL) and the approximate penalized loglikelihood (APL) methods. The proposed methods can automatically select important covariates, while adjusting for possible spatial correlations among the responses. More details are available in Xie et al. (2018, <arXiv:1809.06418>). The package also contains the Lyme disease dataset, which consists of the disease case data from 2006 to 2011, and demographic data and land cover data in Virginia. The Lyme disease case data were collected by the Virginia Department of Health. The demographic data (e.g., population density, median income, and average age) are from the 2010 census. Land cover data were obtained from the Multi-Resolution Land Cover Consortium for 2006.

This package provides an implementation of simultaneous tolerance bounds (STB), useful for checking whether a numeric vector fits to a hypothetical null-distribution or not. Furthermore, there are functions for computing STB (bands, intervals) for random variates of linear mixed models fitted with package VCA'. All kinds of, possibly transformed (studentized, standardized, Pearson-type transformed) random variates (residuals, random effects), can be assessed employing STB-methodology.

This package produces LaTeX code, HTML/CSS code and ASCII text for well-formatted tables that hold regression analysis results from several models side-by-side, as well as summary statistics.

Generates binary test data based on Item Response Theory using the two-parameter logistic model (Lord, 1980 <doi:10.4324/9780203056615>). Useful functions for test equating are included, e.g. functions for generating internal and external common items between test forms and a function to create a linkage plans between those forms. Ancillary functions for generating true item and person parameters as well as for calculating the probability of a person correctly answering an item are also included.

An exact method for computing the Poisson-Binomial Distribution (PBD). The package provides a function for generating a random sample from the PBD, as well as two distinct approaches for computing the density, distribution, and quantile functions of the PBD. The first method uses direct-convolution, or a dynamic-programming approach which is numerically stable but can be slow for a large input due to its quadratic complexity. The second method is much faster on large inputs thanks to its use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based convolutions. Notably in this case the package uses an exponential shift to practically guarantee the relative accuracy of the computation of an arbitrarily small tail of the PBD -- something that FFT-based methods often struggle with. This ShiftConvolvePoiBin method is described in Peres, Lee and Keich (2020) <arXiv:2004.07429> where it is also shown to be competitive with the fastest implementations for exactly computing the entire Poisson-Binomial distribution.
