An implementation of feature selection, weighting and ranking via simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). The SPSA-FSR algorithm searches for a locally optimal set of features that yield the best predictive performance using some error measures such as mean squared error (for regression problems) and accuracy rate (for classification problems).

Estimation of two-state (survival) models and irreversible illness- death models with possibly interval-censored, left-truncated and right-censored data. Proportional intensities regression models can be specified to allow for covariates effects separately for each transition. We use either a parametric approach with Weibull baseline intensities or a semi-parametric approach with M-splines approximation of baseline intensities in order to obtain smooth estimates of the hazard functions. Parameter estimates are obtained by maximum likelihood in the parametric approach and by penalized maximum likelihood in the semi-parametric approach.

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>.

An efficient implementation of Scalable Bayesian Rule Lists Algorithm, a competitor algorithm for decision tree algorithms; see Hongyu Yang, Cynthia Rudin, Margo Seltzer (2017) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v70/yang17h.html>. It builds from pre-mined association rules and have a logical structure identical to a decision list or one-sided decision tree. Fully optimized over rule lists, this algorithm strikes practical balance between accuracy, interpretability, and computational speed.

This package provides a set of functions allowing to implement the SpiceFP approach which is iterative. It involves transformation of functional predictors into several candidate explanatory matrices (based on contingency tables), to which relative edge matrices with contiguity constraints are associated. Generalized Fused Lasso regression are performed in order to identify the best candidate matrix, the best class intervals and related coefficients at each iteration. The approach is stopped when the maximal number of iterations is reached or when retained coefficients are zeros. Supplementary functions allow to get coefficients of any candidate matrix or mean of coefficients of many candidates. The methods in this package are describing in Girault Gnanguenon Guesse, Patrice Loisel, Bénedicte Fontez, Thierry Simonneau, Nadine Hilgert (2021) "An exploratory penalized regression to identify combined effects of functional variables -Application to agri-environmental issues" <https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03298977>.

The package estimates the most common spatial specifications, that is, SUR with Spatial Lag of X regressors (called SUR-SLX), SUR with Spatial Lag Model (called SUR-SLM), SUR with Spatial Error Model (called SUR-SEM), SUR with Spatial Durbin Model (called SUR-SDM), SUR with Spatial Durbin Error Model (called SUR-SDEM), SUR with Spatial Autoregressive terms and Spatial Autoregressive Disturbances (called SUR-SARAR), SUR-SARAR with Spatial Lag of X regressors (called SUR-GNM) and SUR with Spatially Independent Model (called SUR-SIM). The methodology of these models can be found in next references Minguez, R., Lopez, F.A., and Mur, J. (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v104.i11> Mur, J., Lopez, F.A., and Herrera, M.

Artificial selection through selective breeding is an efficient way to induce changes in traits of interest in experimental populations. This package (sra) provides a set of tools to analyse artificial-selection response datasets. The data typically feature for several generations the average value of a trait in a population, the variance of the trait, the population size and the average value of the parents that were chosen to breed. Sra implements two families of models aiming at describing the dynamics of the genetic architecture of the trait during the selection response. The first family relies on purely descriptive (phenomenological) models, based on an autoregressive framework. The second family provides different mechanistic models, accounting e.g. for inbreeding, mutations, genetic and environmental canalization, or epistasis. The parameters underlying the dynamics of the time series are estimated by maximum likelihood. The sra package thus provides (i) a wrapper for the R functions mle() and optim() aiming at fitting in a convenient way a predetermined set of models, and (ii) some functions to plot and analyze the output of the models.

An extension of the AlphaSimR package (<https://cran.r-project.org/package=AlphaSimR>) for stochastic simulations of honeybee populations and breeding programmes. SIMplyBee enables simulation of individual bees that form a colony, which includes a queen, fathers (drones the queen mated with), virgin queens, workers, and drones. Multiple colony can be merged into a population of colonies, such as an apiary or a whole country of colonies. Functions enable operations on castes, colony, or colonies, to ease R scripting of whole populations. All AlphaSimR functionality with respect to genomes and genetic and phenotype values is available and further extended for honeybees, including haplo-diploidy, complementary sex determiner locus, colony events (swarming, supersedure, etc.), and colony phenotype values.

This package provides tools for the simultaneous improvement of multiple traits in plant breeding. Building upon the classical selection index (Smith 1937 <doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.1936.tb02143.x>) and modern quantitative genetics (Kang 2020 <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-91223-3>), this package calculates classical phenotypic, genomic, marker-assisted, restricted/constrained, and eigen selection indices. It also incorporates multi-stage selection evaluation and stochastic simulations to estimate genetic advance based on economic weights, heritability, and genetic correlations.

This package provides tools and methods to simulate populations for surveys based on auxiliary data. The tools include model-based methods, calibration and combinatorial optimization algorithms, see Templ, Kowarik and Meindl (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v079.i10>) and Templ (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-50272-4>. The package was developed with support of the International Household Survey Network, DFID Trust Fund TF011722 and funds from the World bank.

This package contains an implementation of StabilizedRegression', a regression framework for heterogeneous data introduced in Pfister et al. (2021) <arXiv:1911.01850>. The procedure uses averaging to estimate a regression of a set of predictors X on a response variable Y by enforcing stability with respect to a given environment variable. The resulting regression leads to a variable selection procedure which allows to distinguish between stable and unstable predictors. The package further implements a visualization technique which illustrates the trade-off between stability and predictiveness of individual predictors.

It helps in determination of sample size for estimating population mean or proportion under simple random sampling with or without replacement and stratified random sampling without replacement. When prior information on the population coefficient of variation (CV) is unavailable, then a preliminary sample is drawn to estimate the CV which is used to compute the final sample size. If the final size exceeds the preliminary sample size, then additional units are drawn; otherwise, the preliminary sample size is considered as final sample size. For stratified random sampling without replacement design, it also calculates the sample size in each stratum under different allocation methods for estimation of population mean and proportion based upon the availability of prior information on sizes of the strata, standard deviations of the strata and costs of drawing a sampling unit in the strata.For details on sampling methodology, see, Cochran (1977) "Sampling Techniques" <https://archive.org/details/samplingtechniqu0000coch_t4x6>.
