Estimates the population average controlled difference for a given outcome between levels of a binary treatment, exposure, or other group membership variable of interest for clustered, stratified survey samples where sample selection depends on the comparison group. Provides three methods for estimation, namely outcome modeling and two factorizations of inverse probability weighting. Under stronger assumptions, these methods estimate the causal population average treatment effect. Salerno et al., (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.19597>.

Function for the computation of fractal dimension based on mass of soil particle size distribution by Tyler & Wheatcraft (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600020005x>. It also provides functions for calculation of mean weight and geometric mean diameter of particle size distribution by Perfect et al. (1992) <doi:10.2136/sssaj1992.03615995005600050012x>.

This package provides functions to calculate exact critical values, statistical power, expected time to signal, and required sample sizes for performing exact sequential analysis. All these calculations can be done for either Poisson or binomial data, for continuous or group sequential analyses, and for different types of rejection boundaries. In case of group sequential analyses, the group sizes do not have to be specified in advance and the alpha spending can be arbitrarily settled. For regression versions of the methods, Monte Carlo and asymptotic methods are used.

This package provides models to identify bimodally expressed genes from RNAseq data based on the Bimodality Index. SIBERG models the RNAseq data in the finite mixture modeling framework and incorporates mechanisms for dealing with RNAseq normalization. Three types of mixture models are implemented, namely, the mixture of log normal, negative binomial, or generalized Poisson distribution. See Tong et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts713>.

This package provides functions to calculate some point estimators and estimate their variance under unequal probability sampling without replacement. Single and two-stage sampling designs are considered. Some approximations for the second-order inclusion probabilities (joint inclusion probabilities) are available (sample and population based). A variety of Jackknife variance estimators are implemented. Almost every function is written in C (compiled) code for faster results. The functions incorporate some performance improvements for faster results with large datasets.

An implementation of sparse Gaussian Markov random field mixtures presented by Ide et al. (2016) <doi:10.1109/ICDM.2016.0119>. It provides a novel anomaly detection method for multivariate noisy sensor data. It can automatically handle multiple operational modes. And it can also compute variable-wise anomaly scores.

This package provides elastic net penalized maximum likelihood estimator for structural equation models (SEM). The package implements `lasso` and `elastic net` (l1/l2) penalized SEM and estimates the model parameters with an efficient block coordinate ascent algorithm that maximizes the penalized likelihood of the SEM. Hyperparameters are inferred from cross-validation (CV). A Stability Selection (STS) function is also available to provide accurate causal effect selection. The software achieves high accuracy performance through a `Network Generative Pre-trained Transformer` (Network GPT) Framework with two steps: 1) pre-trains the model to generate a complete (fully connected) graph; and 2) uses the complete graph as the initial state to fit the `elastic net` penalized SEM.

This package provides functions for computing test subscores using different methods in both classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). This package enables three types of subscoring methods within the framework of CTT and IRT, including (1) Wainer's augmentation method (Wainer et. al., 2001) <doi:10.4324/9781410604729>, (2) Haberman's subscoring methods (Haberman, 2008) <doi:10.3102/1076998607302636>, and (3) Yen's objective performance index (OPI; Yen, 1987) <https://www.ets.org/research/policy_research_reports/publications/paper/1987/hrap>. It also includes functions to compute Proportional Reduction of Mean Squared Errors (PRMSEs) in Haberman's methods which are used to examine whether test subscores are of added value. In addition, the package includes a function to assess the local independence assumption of IRT with Yen's Q3 statistic (Yen, 1984 <doi:10.1177/014662168400800201>; Yen, 1993 <doi:10.1111/j.1745-3984.1993.tb00423.x>).

Most function focus on specific ways to customize a graph. They use a qgraph output as the first argument, and return a modified qgraph object. This allows the functions to be chained by a pipe operator.

Supports eigenvalue block-averaging p-values (Foldnes, Grønneberg, 2018) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2017.1373021>, penalized eigenvalue block-averaging p-values (Foldnes, Moss, Grønneberg, 2024) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2024.2372028>, penalized regression p-values (Foldnes, Moss, Grønneberg, 2024) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2024.2372028>, as well as traditional p-values such as Satorra-Bentler. All p-values can be calculated using unbiased or biased gamma estimates (Du, Bentler, 2022) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2022.2063870> and two choices of chi square statistics.

Discovery of spatial patterns with Hidden Markov Random Field. This package is designed for spatial transcriptomic data and single molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) data such as sequential fluorescence in situ hybridization (seqFISH) and multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH). The methods implemented in this package are described in Zhu et al. (2018) <doi:10.1038/nbt.4260>.

Fitting of non-parametric production frontiers for use in efficiency analysis. Methods are provided for both a smooth analogue of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a non-parametric analogue of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Frontiers are constructed for multiple inputs and a single output using constrained kernel smoothing as in Racine et al. (2009), which allow for the imposition of monotonicity and concavity constraints on the estimated frontier.

Statistical analysis methods for environmental data are implemented. There is a particular focus on robust methods, and on methods for compositional data. In addition, larger data sets from geochemistry are provided. The statistical methods are described in Reimann, Filzmoser, Garrett, Dutter (2008, ISBN:978-0-470-98581-6).

This package provides three basic functions that support an implementation of Case 2 (profile case) best-worst scaling. The first is to convert an orthogonal main-effect design into questions, the second is to create a dataset suitable for analysis, and the third is to calculate count-based scores. For details, see Aizaki and Fogarty (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jocm.2019.100171>.

This package provides option settings management that goes beyond R's default options function. With this package, users can define their own option settings manager holding option names, default values and (if so desired) ranges or sets of allowed option values that will be automatically checked. Settings can then be retrieved, altered and reset to defaults with ease. For R programmers and package developers it offers cloning and merging functionality which allows for conveniently defining global and local options, possibly in a multilevel options hierarchy. See the package vignette for some examples concerning functions, S4 classes, and reference classes. There are convenience functions to reset par() and options() to their factory defaults'.

Transfers/imputes statistics among Spanish spatial polygons (census sections or postal code areas) from different moments in time (2001-2023) without need of spatial files, just linking statistics to the ID codes of the spatial units. The data available in the census sections of a partition/division (cartography) into force in a moment of time is transferred to the census sections of another partition/division employing the geometric approach (also known as areal weighting or polygon overlay).
