Generate programmable surveys using markdown and R code chunks. Surveys are composed of two files: a survey.qmd Quarto file defining the survey content (pages, questions, etc), and an app.R file defining a shiny app with global settings (libraries, database configuration, etc.) and server configuration options (e.g., conditional skipping / display, etc.). Survey data collected from respondents is stored in a PostgreSQL database. Features include controls for conditional skip logic (skip to a page based on an answer to a question), conditional display logic (display a question based on an answer to a question), a customizable progress bar, and a wide variety of question types, including multiple choice (single choice and multiple choices), select, text, numeric, multiple choice buttons, text area, and dates. Because the surveys render into a shiny app, designers can also leverage the reactive capabilities of shiny to create dynamic and interactive surveys.

The package performs a sensitivity analysis in an observational study using an M-statistic, for instance, the mean. The main function in the package is senmv(), but amplify() and truncatedP() are also useful. The method is developed in Rosenbaum Biometrics, 2007, 63, 456-464, <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2006.00717.x>.

This tool fits a non-parametric Bayesian model called a "hierarchically coupled mixture model with local dependence (HCMM-LD)" to the original microdata in order to generate synthetic microdata for privacy protection. The non-parametric feature of the adopted model is useful for capturing the joint distribution of the original input data in a highly flexible manner, leading to the generation of synthetic data whose distributional features are similar to that of the input data. The package allows the original input data to have missing values and impute them with the posterior predictive distribution, so no missing values exist in the synthetic data output. The method builds on the work of Murray and Reiter (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1174132>.

Add indicators (spinner, progress bar, gif) in your shiny applications to show the user that the server is busy. And other tools to let your users know something is happening (send notifications, reports, ...).

S4 class wrappers for the ODBC and Pool DBI connection, also provides some utilities to paste small datasets to clipboard, rename columns. It is used by the package stacomiR for connections to the database. Development versions of stacomiR are available in R-forge.

This package provides tools for setting up ("design"), conducting, and evaluating large-scale simulation studies with graphics and tables, including parallel computations.

These are my collection of R Markdown templates, mostly for compilation to PDF. These are useful for all things academic and professional, if you are using R Markdown for things like your CV or your articles and manuscripts.

This package provides tools to calculate the alpha parameter of the Weibull distribution, given beta and the age-specific fertility of a species, so that the population remains stable and stationary. Methods are inspired by "Survival profiles from linear models versus Weibull models: Estimating stable and stationary population structures for Pleistocene large mammals" (Martà n-González et al. 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jasrep.2019.03.031>.

This package provides tools for the optimization of stratified sampling design. It determines a stratification of a sampling frame that minimizes sample cost while satisfying precision constraints in a multivariate and multidomain context. The approach relies on a genetic algorithm; each candidate partition of the frame is an individual whose fitness is evaluated via the Bethel-Chromy allocation to meet target precisions. Functions support analysis of optimization results, labeling of the frame with new strata, and drawing a sample according to the optimal allocation. Algorithmic components adapt code from the genalg package. See M. Ballin and G. Barcaroli (2020) "R package SamplingStrata: new developments and extension to Spatial Sampling" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2004.09366>.

This package provides functions for fitting semiparametric regression models for panel count survival data. An overview of the package can be found in Wang and Yan (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2010.10.005> and Chiou et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/insr.12271>.

This package performs a sentiment analysis of textual contents in R. This implementation utilizes various existing dictionaries, such as Harvard IV, or finance-specific dictionaries. Furthermore, it can also create customized dictionaries. The latter uses LASSO regularization as a statistical approach to select relevant terms based on an exogenous response variable.

Companion package that supports the surveydown survey platform (<https://surveydown.org>). The default method for working with a surveydown survey is to edit the plain text survey.qmd and app.R files. With sdstudio', you can create, preview and manage surveys with a shiny application as a graphical user interface.

Functions, classes and methods for time series modelling with ARIMA and related models. The aim of the package is to provide consistent interface for the user. For example, a single function autocorrelations() computes various kinds of theoretical and sample autocorrelations. This is work in progress, see the documentation and vignettes for the current functionality. Function sarima() fits extended multiplicative seasonal ARIMA models with trends, exogenous variables and arbitrary roots on the unit circle, which can be fixed or estimated (for the algebraic basis for this see <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2208.05055>, a paper on the methodology is being prepared).

The stochastic (also called on-line) version of the Self-Organising Map (SOM) algorithm is provided. Different versions of the algorithm are implemented, for numeric and relational data and for contingency tables as described, respectively, in Kohonen (2001) <isbn:3-540-67921-9>, Olteanu & Villa-Vialaneix (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2013.11.047> and Cottrell et al (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.neunet.2004.07.010>. The package also contains many plotting features (to help the user interpret the results), can handle (and impute) missing values and is delivered with a graphical user interface based on shiny'.

Sensitivity analysis for multiple outcomes in observational studies. For instance, all linear combinations of several outcomes may be explored using Scheffe projections in the comparison() function; see Rosenbaum (2016, Annals of Applied Statistics) <doi:10.1214/16-AOAS942>. Alternatively, attention may focus on a few principal components in the principal() function. The package includes parallel methods for individual outcomes, including tests in the senm() function and confidence intervals in the senmCI() function.
