This package implements a segmentation algorithm for multiple change-point detection in high-dimensional GARCH processes. It simultaneously segments GARCH processes by identifying common change-points, each of which can be shared by a subset or all of the component time series as a change-point in their within-series and/or cross-sectional correlation structure.

This package contains several tools for nonlinear regression analyses and general data analysis in biology and agriculture. Contains also datasets for practicing and teaching purposes. Supports the blog: Onofri (2024) "Fixing the bridge between biologists and statisticians" <https://www.statforbiology.com> and the book: Onofri (2024) "Experimental Methods in Agriculture" <https://www.statforbiology.com/_statbookeng/>. The blog is a collection of short articles aimed at improving the efficiency of communication between biologists and statisticians, as pointed out in Kozak (2016) <doi:10.1590/0103-9016-2015-0399>, spreading a better awareness of the potential usefulness, beauty and limitations of biostatistic.

This package implements a simple, novel clustering algorithm based on optimizing the silhouette width. See <doi:10.1101/2023.11.07.566055> for details.

This package provides methods focused in performing the OSGB36/ETRS89 transformation (Great Britain and the Isle of Man only) by using the Ordnance Survey's OSTN15/OSGM15 transformation model. Calculation of distances and areas from sets of points defined in any of the supported Coordinated Systems is also available.

This package provides a software package help user to create virtual species for species distribution modelling. It includes several methods to help user to create virtual species distribution map. Those maps can be used for Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) study. SDM use environmental data for sites of occurrence of a species to predict all the sites where the environmental conditions are suitable for the species to persist, and may be expected to occur.

This package provides a set of spatial accessibility measures from a set of locations (demand) to another set of locations (supply). It aims, among others, to support research on spatial accessibility to health care facilities. Includes the locations and some characteristics of major public hospitals in Greece.

Approximate Bayesian regularization using Gaussian approximations. The input is a vector of estimates and a Gaussian error covariance matrix of the key parameters. Bayesian shrinkage is then applied to obtain parsimonious solutions. The method is described on Karimova, van Erp, Leenders, and Mulder (2024) <DOI:10.31234/osf.io/2g8qm>. Gibbs samplers are used for model fitting. The shrinkage priors that are supported are Gaussian (ridge) priors, Laplace (lasso) priors (Park and Casella, 2008 <DOI:10.1198/016214508000000337>), and horseshoe priors (Carvalho, et al., 2010; <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>). These priors include an option for grouped regularization of different subsets of parameters (Meier et al., 2008; <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2007.00627.x>). F priors are used for the penalty parameters lambda^2 (Mulder and Pericchi, 2018 <DOI:10.1214/17-BA1092>). This correspond to half-Cauchy priors on lambda (Carvalho, Polson, Scott, 2010 <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asq017>).

We provide functions for computing the decision boundaries for pre-licensure vaccine trials using the Generalized Likelihood Ratio tests proposed by Shih, Lai, Heyse and Chen (2010, <doi:10.1002/sim.4036>).

This package implements the discrete nonlinear filter (DNF) of Kitagawa (1987) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1987.10478534> to a wide class of stochastic volatility (SV) models with return and volatility jumps following the work of Bégin and Boudreault (2021) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1840995> to obtain likelihood evaluations and maximum likelihood parameter estimates. Offers several built-in SV models and a flexible framework for users to create customized models by specifying drift and diffusion functions along with an arrival distribution for the return and volatility jumps. Allows for the estimation of factor models with stochastic volatility (e.g., heteroskedastic volatility CAPM) by incorporating expected return predictors. Also includes functions to compute filtering and prediction distribution estimates, to simulate data from built-in and custom SV models with jumps, and to forecast future returns and volatility values using Monte Carlo simulation from a given SV model.

This package provides an R interface to the sparseLM C library for large-scale nonlinear least squares problems with arbitrarily sparse Jacobians. The underlying solver implements a sparse variant of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for minimizing sum-of-squares objective functions, supports user-supplied analytic Jacobians or finite-difference approximation, and is designed to exploit sparsity for improved memory use and performance. This package exposes the solver in R and uses sparse matrix classes and the CHOLMOD sparse Cholesky factorization routines through the Matrix package interface. Methods from the C library are described in Lourakis (2010) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-15552-9_4>.

An user-friendly framework to preprocess raw item scores of questionnaires into factors or scores and standardize them. Standardization can be made either by their normalization in representative sample, or by import of premade scoring table.

Implementations self-normalization (SN) based algorithms for change-points estimation in time series data. This comprises nested local-window algorithms for detecting changes in both univariate and multivariate time series developed in Zhao, Jiang and Shao (2022) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12552>.

This package implements the "Residual (Sur)Realism" algorithm described by Stefanski (2007) <doi:10.1198/000313007X190079> to generate datasets that reveal hidden images or messages in their residual plots. It offers both predefined datasets and tools to embed custom text or images into residual structures. Allowing users to create intriguing visual demonstrations for teaching model diagnostics.

Using principal component analysis as a base model, SCOUTer offers a new approach to simulate outliers in a simple and precise way. The user can generate new observations defining them by a pair of well-known statistics: the Squared Prediction Error (SPE) and the Hotelling's T^2 (T^2) statistics. Just by introducing the target values of the SPE and T^2, SCOUTer returns a new set of observations with the desired target properties. Authors: Alba González, Abel Folch-Fortuny, Francisco Arteaga and Alberto Ferrer (2020).

This package implements a three-dimensional stochastic model of cancer growth and mutation similar to the one described in Waclaw et al. (2015) <doi:10.1038/nature14971>.

Contains functions which create synthetic sequencing datasets from the generated tumor.

Implement a GAM-based (Generalized Additive Models) spatial surplus production model (spatial SPM), aimed at modeling northern shrimp population in Atlantic Canada but potentially to any stock in any location. The package is opinionated in its implementation of SPMs as it internally makes the choice to use penalized spatial gams with time lags. However, it also aims to provide options for the user to customize their model. The methods are described in Pedersen et al. (2022, <https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/ResDocs-DocRech/2022/2022_062-eng.html>).

This package provides functions and data sets for data sharpening. Nonparametric regressions are computed subject to smoothness and other kinds of penalties.

This is a shape preserving spline <doi:10.1137/0720057> which is guaranteed to be monotonic and concave or convex if the data is monotonic and concave or convex. It does not use any optimisation and is therefore quick and smoothly converges to a fixed point in economic dynamics problems including value function iteration. It also automatically gives the first two derivatives of the spline and options for determining behaviour when evaluated outside the interpolation domain.
