Sparsity Oriented Importance Learning (SOIL) provides a new variable importance measure for high dimensional linear regression and logistic regression from a sparse penalization perspective, by taking into account the variable selection uncertainty via the use of a sensible model weighting. The package is an implementation of Ye, C., Yang, Y., and Yang, Y. (2017+).

This package provides tools to decompose (transformed) spatial connectivity matrices and perform supervised or unsupervised semiparametric spatial filtering in a regression framework. The package supports unsupervised spatial filtering in standard linear as well as some generalized linear regression models.

The predictive value of a statistical model can often be improved by applying shrinkage methods. This can be achieved, e.g., by regularized regression or empirical Bayes approaches. Various types of shrinkage factors can also be estimated after a maximum likelihood. While global shrinkage modifies all regression coefficients by the same factor, parameterwise shrinkage factors differ between regression coefficients. With variables which are either highly correlated or associated with regard to contents, such as several columns of a design matrix describing a nonlinear effect, parameterwise shrinkage factors are not interpretable and a compromise between global and parameterwise shrinkage, termed joint shrinkage', is a useful extension. A computational shortcut to resampling-based shrinkage factor estimation based on DFBETA residuals can be applied. Global, parameterwise and joint shrinkage for models fitted by lm(), glm(), coxph(), or mfp() is available.

Survival analysis models are commonly used in medicine and other areas. Many of them are too complex to be interpreted by human. Exploration and explanation is needed, but standard methods do not give a broad enough picture. survex provides easy-to-apply methods for explaining survival models, both complex black-boxes and simpler statistical models. They include methods specific to survival analysis such as SurvSHAP(t) introduced in Krzyzinski et al., (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2022.110234>, SurvLIME described in Kovalev et al., (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2020.106164> as well as extensions of existing ones described in Biecek et al., (2021) <doi:10.1201/9780429027192>.

Spatial versions of Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs) are becoming increasingly popular as tools for causal inference. However, conducting state-of-the-art analyses often involves tedious and time-consuming steps. This package offers comprehensive functionalities for executing all required spatial and econometric tasks in a streamlined manner. Moreover, it equips researchers with tools for performing essential placebo and balancing checks comprehensively. The fact that researchers do not have to rely on APIs of external GIS software ensures replicability and raises the standard for spatial RDDs.

This package implements the calibrated sensitivity analysis approach for matched observational studies. Our sensitivity analysis framework views matched sets as drawn from a super-population. The unmeasured confounder is modeled as a random variable. We combine matching and model-based covariate-adjustment methods to estimate the treatment effect. The hypothesized unmeasured confounder enters the picture as a missing covariate. We adopt a state-of-art Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to handle this missing covariate problem in generalized linear models (GLMs). As our method also estimates the effect of each observed covariate on the outcome and treatment assignment, we are able to calibrate the unmeasured confounder to observed covariates.

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.
