This package provides functions for efficiently estimating properties of the Van Genuchten-Mualem model for soil hydraulic parameters from possibly sparse soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity data by multi-response parameter estimation methods (Stewart, W.E., Caracotsios, M. Soerensen, J.P. (1992) "Parameter estimation from multi-response data" <doi:10.1002/aic.690380502>). Parameter estimation is simplified by exploiting the fact that residual and saturated water contents and saturated conductivity are conditionally linear parameters (Bates, D. M. and Watts, D. G. (1988) "Nonlinear Regression Analysis and Its Applications" <doi:10.1002/9780470316757>). Estimated parameters are optionally constrained by the evaporation characteristic length (Lehmann, P., Bickel, S., Wei, Z. and Or, D. (2020) "Physical Constraints for Improved Soil Hydraulic Parameter Estimation by Pedotransfer Functions" <doi:10.1029/2019WR025963>) to ensure that the estimated parameters are physically valid. Common S3 methods and further utility functions allow to process, explore and visualise estimation results.

Simulate, solve state space models.

This package implements the Stable Balancing Weights by Zubizarreta (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>. These are the weights of minimum variance that approximately balance the empirical distribution of the observed covariates. For an overview, see Chattopadhyay, Hase and Zubizarreta (2020) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8659>. To solve the optimization problem in sbw', the default solver is quadprog', which is readily available through CRAN. The solver osqp is also posted on CRAN. To enhance the performance of sbw', users are encouraged to install other solvers such as gurobi and Rmosek', which require special installation. For the installation of gurobi and pogs, please follow the instructions at <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r.html> and <http://foges.github.io/pogs/stp/r>.

Provide estimation and data generation tools for the skew-unit family discussed based on Mukhopadhyay and Brani (1995) <doi:10.2307/2348710>. The family contains extensions for popular distributions such as the ArcSin discussed in Arnold and Groeneveld (1980) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1980.10477449>, triangular, U-quadratic and Johnson-SB proposed in Cortina-Borja (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-985X.2006.00446_12.x> distributions, among others.

This package provides a sparklyr <https://spark.posit.co/> extension that provides an R interface for XGBoost <https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost> on Apache Spark'. XGBoost is an optimized distributed gradient boosting library.

This package provides tools for analyzing and understanding the file contents of large shiny application directories. The package extracts key information about render functions, reactive functions, and their inputs from app files, organizing them into structured data frames for easy reference. This streamlines the onboarding process for new contributors and helps identify areas for optimization in complex shiny codebases with multiple files and sourcing chains.

This package provides a major challenge in estimating treatment decision rules from a randomized clinical trial dataset with covariates measured at baseline lies in detecting relatively small treatment effect modification-related variability (i.e., the treatment-by-covariates interaction effects on treatment outcomes) against a relatively large non-treatment-related variability (i.e., the main effects of covariates on treatment outcomes). The class of Single-Index Models with Multiple-Links is a novel single-index model specifically designed to estimate a single-index (a linear combination) of the covariates associated with the treatment effect modification-related variability, while allowing a nonlinear association with the treatment outcomes via flexible link functions. The models provide a flexible regression approach to developing treatment decision rules based on patients data measured at baseline. We refer to Park, Petkova, Tarpey, and Ogden (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2019.05.008> and Park, Petkova, Tarpey, and Ogden (2020) <doi:10.1111/biom.13320> (that allows an unspecified X main effect) for detail of the method. The main function of this package is simml().

Complex machine learning models are often hard to interpret. However, in many situations it is crucial to understand and explain why a model made a specific prediction. Shapley values is the only method for such prediction explanation framework with a solid theoretical foundation. Previously known methods for estimating the Shapley values do, however, assume feature independence. This package implements methods which accounts for any feature dependence, and thereby produces more accurate estimates of the true Shapley values. An accompanying Python wrapper ('shaprpy') is available through PyPI.

This package provides a function for the estimation of parameters in a binary regression with the skew-probit link function. Naive MLE, Jeffrey type of prior and Cauchy prior type of penalization are implemented, as described in DongHyuk Lee and Samiran Sinha (2019+) <doi:10.1080/00949655.2019.1590579>.

Download files hosted on AWS S3 (Amazon Web Services Simple Storage Service; <https://aws.amazon.com/s3/>) to a local directory based on their URI. Avoid downloading files that are already present locally. Allow for customization of where to store downloaded files.

An interface to access data from Substack publications via API. Users can fetch the latest, top, search for specific posts, or retrieve a single post by its slug. This functionality is useful for developers and researchers looking to analyze Substack content or integrate it into their applications.

Models with skewâ normally distributed and thus asymmetric error terms, implementing the methods developed in Badunenko and Henderson (2023) "Production analysis with asymmetric noise" <doi:10.1007/s11123-023-00680-5>. The package provides tools to estimate regression models with skewâ normal error terms, allowing both the variance and skewness parameters to be heteroskedastic. It also includes a stochastic frontier framework that accommodates both i.i.d. and heteroskedastic inefficiency terms.

This package provides a unifying framework for managing and deploying shiny applications that consist of modules, where an "app" is a tab-based workflow that guides a user step-by-step through an analysis. The shinymgr app builder "stitches" shiny modules together so that outputs from one module serve as inputs to the next, creating an analysis pipeline that is easy to implement and maintain. Users of shinymgr apps can save analyses as an RDS file that fully reproduces the analytic steps and can be ingested into an R Markdown report for rapid reporting. In short, developers use the shinymgr framework to write modules and seamlessly combine them into shiny apps, and users of these apps can execute reproducible analyses that can be incorporated into reports for rapid dissemination.

The systemPipeShiny (SPS) framework comes with many UI and server components. However, installing the whole framework is heavy and takes some time. If you would like to use UI and server components from SPS in your own Shiny apps, do not hesitate to try this package.
