S3 implementation of the Random Forest MErging Procedure (RF-MEP), which combines two or more satellite-based datasets (e.g., precipitation products, topography) with ground observations to produce a new dataset with improved spatio-temporal distribution of the target field. In particular, this package was developed to merge different Satellite-based Rainfall Estimates (SREs) with measurements from rain gauges, in order to obtain a new precipitation dataset where the time series in the rain gauges are used to correct different types of errors present in the SREs. However, this package might be used to merge other hydrological/environmental gridded datasets with point observations. For details, see Baez-Villanueva et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.rse.2019.111606>. Bugs / comments / questions / collaboration of any kind are very welcomed.

Robust tests (RW, RPB and RGF) are provided for testing the equality of several long-tailed symmetric (LTS) means when the variances are unknown and arbitrary. RW, RPB and RGF tests are robust versions of Welch's F test proposed by Welch (1951) <doi:10.2307/2332579>, parametric bootstrap test proposed by Krishnamoorthy et. al (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2006.09.039>; and generalized F test proposed by Weerahandi (1995) <doi:10.2307/2532947>;, respectively. These tests are based on the modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimators proposed by Tiku(1967, 1968) <doi:10.2307/2333859>, <doi:10.1080/01621459.1968.11009228>.

Numerous functions for cohort-based analyses, either for prediction or causal inference. For causal inference, it includes Inverse Probability Weighting and G-computation for marginal estimation of an exposure effect when confounders are expected. We deal with binary outcomes, times-to-events, competing events, and multi-state data. For multistate data, semi-Markov model with interval censoring may be considered, and we propose the possibility to consider the excess of mortality related to the disease compared to reference lifetime tables. For predictive studies, we propose a set of functions to estimate time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with the possible consideration of right-censoring times-to-events or the presence of confounders. Finally, several functions are available to assess time-dependent ROC curves or survival curves from aggregated data.

Compute price indices using various Hedonic and multilateral methods, including Laspeyres, Paasche, Fisher, and HMTS (Hedonic Multilateral Time series re-estimation with splicing). The central function calculate_hedonic_index() offers a unified interface for running these methods on structured datasets. This package is designed to support index construction workflows across a wide range of domains â including but not limited to real estate â where quality-adjusted price comparisons over time are essential. The development of this package was funded by Eurostat and Statistics Netherlands (CBS), and carried out by Statistics Netherlands. The HMTS method implemented here is described in Ishaak, Ouwehand and Remøy (2024) <doi:10.1177/0282423X241246617>.

The Linear Programming via Regularized Least Squares (LPPinv) is a two-stage estimation method that reformulates linear programs as structured least-squares problems. Based on the Convex Least Squares Programming (CLSP) framework, LPPinv solves linear inequality, equality, and bound constraints by (1) constructing a canonical constraint system and computing a pseudoinverse projection, followed by (2) a convex-programming correction stage to refine the solution under additional regularization (e.g., Lasso, Ridge, or Elastic Net). LPPinv is intended for underdetermined and ill-posed linear problems, for which standard solvers fail.

Empirical orthogonal teleconnections in R. remote is short for R(-based) EMpirical Orthogonal TEleconnections'. It implements a collection of functions to facilitate empirical orthogonal teleconnection analysis. Empirical Orthogonal Teleconnections (EOTs) denote a regression based approach to decompose spatio-temporal fields into a set of independent orthogonal patterns. They are quite similar to Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) with EOTs producing less abstract results. In contrast to EOFs, which are orthogonal in both space and time, EOT analysis produces patterns that are orthogonal in either space or time.
