This package performs parametric and non-parametric estimation and simulation for multi-state discrete-time semi-Markov processes. For the parametric estimation, several discrete distributions are considered for the sojourn times: Uniform, Geometric, Poisson, Discrete Weibull and Negative Binomial. The non-parametric estimation concerns the sojourn time distributions, where no assumptions are done on the shape of distributions. Moreover, the estimation can be done on the basis of one or several sample paths, with or without censoring at the beginning or/and at the end of the sample paths. The implemented methods are described in Barbu, V.S., Limnios, N. (2008) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-73173-5>, Barbu, V.S., Limnios, N. (2008) <doi:10.1080/10485250701261913> and Trevezas, S., Limnios, N. (2011) <doi:10.1080/10485252.2011.555543>. Estimation and simulation of discrete-time k-th order Markov chains are also considered.

Generally, soil functionality is characterized by its capability to sustain microbial activity, nutritional element supply, structural stability and aid for crop production. Since soil functions can be linked to 80% of ecosystem services, conservation of degraded land should strive to restore not only the capacity of soil to sustain flora but also ecosystem provisions. The primary ecosystem services of soil are carbon sequestration, food or biomass production, provision of microbial habitat, nutrient recycling. However, the actual magnitude of soil functions provided by agricultural land uses has never been quantified. Nutrient supply capacity (NSC) is a measure of nutrient dynamics in restored land uses. Carbon accumulation proficiency (CAP) is a measure of ecosystem carbon sequestration. Biological activity index (BAI) is the average of responses of all enzyme activities in treated land over control/reference land. The CAP parameter investigates how land uses may affect carbon flows, retention, and sequestration. The CAP provides a signal for C cycles, flows, and the systems relative operational supremacy.

The implementation of a forecasting-specific tree-based model that is in particular suitable for global time series forecasting, as proposed in Godahewa et al. (2022) <arXiv:2211.08661v1>. The model uses the concept of Self Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (SETAR) models to define the node splits and thus, the model is named SETAR-Tree. The SETAR-Tree uses some time-series-specific splitting and stopping procedures. It trains global pooled regression models in the leaves allowing the models to learn cross-series information. The depth of the tree is controlled by conducting a statistical linearity test as well as measuring the error reduction percentage at each node split. Thus, the SETAR-Tree requires minimal external hyperparameter tuning and provides competitive results under its default configuration. A forest is developed by extending the SETAR-Tree. The SETAR-Forest combines the forecasts provided by a collection of diverse SETAR-Trees during the forecasting process.

Time series area-level models for small area estimation. The package supplements the functionality of the sae package. Specifically, it includes EBLUP fitting of the Rao-Yu model in the original form without a spatial component. The package also offers a modified ("dynamic") version of the Rao-Yu model, replacing the assumption of stationarity. Both univariate and multivariate applications are supported. Of particular note is the allowance for covariance of the area-level sample estimates over time, as encountered in rotating panel designs such as the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey or present in a time-series of 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey. Key references to the methods include J.N.K. Rao and I. Molina (2015, ISBN:9781118735787), J.N.K. Rao and M. Yu (1994) <doi:10.2307/3315407>, and R.E. Fay and R.A. Herriot (1979) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505>.

This package contains all the formulae of the growth and trace element uptake model described in the equally-named Geoscientific Model Development paper (de Winter, 2017, <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>). The model takes as input a file with X- and Y-coordinates of digitized growth increments recognized on a longitudinal cross section through the bivalve shell, as well as a BMP file of an elemental map of the cross section surface with chemically distinct phases separated by phase analysis. It proceeds by a step-by-step process described in the paper, by which digitized growth increments are used to calculate changes in shell height, shell thickness, shell volume, shell mass and shell growth rate through the bivalve's life time. Then, results of this growth modelling are combined with the trace element mapping results to trace the incorporation of trace elements into the bivalve shell. Results of various modelling parameters can be exported in the form of XLSX files.

Health research using data from electronic health records (EHR) has gained popularity, but misclassification of EHR-derived disease status and lack of representativeness of the study sample can result in substantial bias in effect estimates and can impact power and type I error for association tests. Here, the assumed target of inference is the relationship between binary disease status and predictors modeled using a logistic regression model. SAMBA implements several methods for obtaining bias-corrected point estimates along with valid standard errors as proposed in Beesley and Mukherjee (2020) <doi:10.1101/2019.12.26.19015859>, currently under review.
