This package provides functions for fitting multi-state semi-Markov models to longitudinal data. A parametric maximum likelihood estimation method adapted to deal with Exponential, Weibull and Exponentiated Weibull distributions is considered. Right-censoring can be taken into account and both constant and time-varying covariates can be included using a Cox proportional model. Reference: A. Krol and P. Saint-Pierre (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v066.i06>.

Inspired by the art and color research of Sanzo Wada (1883-1967), his "Dictionary Of Color Combinations" (2011, ISBN:978-4861522475), and the interactive site by Dain M. Blodorn Kim <https://github.com/dblodorn/sanzo-wada>, this package brings Wada's color combinations to R for easy use in data visualizations. This package honors 60 of Wada's color combinations: 20 duos, 20 trios, and 20 quads.

This package implements statistical methods for detecting evolutionary shifts in both the optimal trait value (mean) and evolutionary diffusion variance. The method uses an L1-penalized optimization framework to identify branches where shifts occur, and the shift magnitudes. It also supports the inclusion of measurement error. For more details, see Zhang, Ho, and Kenney (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.17480>.

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 a sparklyr <https://spark.posit.co/> extension that provides an R interface for XGBoost <https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost> on Apache Spark'. XGBoost is an optimized distributed gradient boosting library.

Storm is a distributed real-time computation system. Similar to how Hadoop provides a set of general primitives for doing batch processing, Storm provides a set of general primitives for doing real-time computation. . Storm includes a "Multi-Language" (or "Multilang") Protocol to allow implementation of Bolts and Spouts in languages other than Java. This R extension provides implementations of utility functions to allow an application developer to focus on application-specific functionality rather than Storm/R communications plumbing.

There is variation across AgNPs due to differences in characterization techniques and testing metrics employed in studies. To address this problem, we have developed a systematic evaluation framework called sysAgNPs'. Within this framework, Distribution Entropy (DE) is utilized to measure the uncertainty of feature categories of AgNPs, Proclivity Entropy (PE) assesses the preference of these categories, and Combination Entropy (CE) quantifies the uncertainty of feature combinations of AgNPs. Additionally, a Markov chain model is employed to examine the relationships among the sub-features of AgNPs and to determine a Transition Score (TS) scoring standard that is based on steady-state probabilities. The sysAgNPs framework provides metrics for evaluating AgNPs, which helps to unravel their complexity and facilitates effective comparisons among different AgNPs, thereby advancing the scientific research and application of these AgNPs.

Screen for and analyze non-linear sparse direct effects in the presence of unobserved confounding using the spectral deconfounding techniques (Ä evid, Bühlmann, and Meinshausen (2020)<jmlr.org/papers/v21/19-545.html>, Guo, Ä evid, and Bühlmann (2022) <doi:10.1214/21-AOS2152>). These methods have been shown to be a good estimate for the true direct effect if we observe many covariates, e.g., high-dimensional settings, and we have fairly dense confounding. Even if the assumptions are violated, it seems like there is not much to lose, and the deconfounded models will, in general, estimate a function closer to the true one than classical least squares optimization. SDModels provides functions SDAM() for Spectrally Deconfounded Additive Models (Scheidegger, Guo, and Bühlmann (2025) <doi:10.1145/3711116>) and SDForest() for Spectrally Deconfounded Random Forests (Ulmer, Scheidegger, and Bühlmann (2025) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2025.2569602>).

This package creates superpixels based on input spatial data. This package works on spatial data with one variable (e.g., continuous raster), many variables (e.g., RGB rasters), and spatial patterns (e.g., areas in categorical rasters). It is based on the SLIC algorithm (Achanta et al. (2012) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2012.120>), and readapts it to work with arbitrary dissimilarity measures.

Users can build and test customized quantitative trading strategies. Some quantitative trading strategies are already implemented, e.g. various moving-average filters with trend following approaches. The implemented class called "Strategy" allows users to access several methods to analyze performance figures, plots and backtest the strategies. Furthermore, custom strategies can be added, a generic template is available. The custom strategies require a certain input and output so they can be called from the Strategy-constructor.

This package provides a modular and extendable approach to extract (micro)saccades from gaze samples via an ensemble of methods. Although there is an agreement about a general definition of a saccade, the more specific details are harder to agree upon. Therefore, there are numerous algorithms that extract saccades based on various heuristics, which differ in the assumptions about velocity, acceleration, etc. The package uses three methods (Engbert and Kliegl (2003) <doi:10.1016/S0042-6989(03)00084-1>, Otero-Millan et al. (2014)<doi:10.1167/14.2.18>, and Nyström and Holmqvist (2010) <doi:10.3758/BRM.42.1.188>) to label individual samples and then applies a majority vote approach to identify saccades. The package includes three methods but can be extended via custom functions. It also uses a modular approach to compute velocity and acceleration from noisy samples. Finally, you can obtain methods votes per gaze sample instead of saccades.

The development of post-processing functionality for simulated snow profiles by the snow and avalanche community is often done in python'.
