Semi-distance and mean-variance (MV) index are proposed to measure the dependence between a categorical random variable and a continuous variable. Test of independence and feature screening for classification problems can be implemented via the two dependence measures. For the details of the methods, see Zhong et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2284988>; Cui and Zhong (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2019.05.004>; Cui, Li and Zhong (2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2014.920256>.

Stochastic dominance tests help ranking different distributions. The package implements the consistent test for stochastic dominance by Barrett and Donald (2003) <doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00390>. Specifically, it implements Barrett and Donald's Kolmogorov-Smirnov type tests for first- and second-order stochastic dominance based on bootstrapping 2 and 1.

Implement different Item Response Theory (IRT) based procedures for the development of tests from item bank. The procedures are flexible enough to be adopted for the development of short forms of full-length tests. Different procedures are considered (Epifania, Anselmi & Robusto, 2022 <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-27781-8_7> and Epifania & Finos, 2025 <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-95995-0_32>). The main difference between the presented procedures refers to the degree of control that they allow for targeting specific latent trait levels. The simplest procedure, denoted as benchmark procedure, does not allow for any control on the latent trait levels of interest, while the other procedures allow for specifying either discrete latent trait levels for which the information needs to be maximized (theta-target procedure, <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-27781-8_7>) or a target information function that needs to be recreated with the selected items (item selection algorithm -ISA- denoted as Frank in <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-95995-0_32>). Another difference concerns the definition of the number of items to be selected. In the benchmark and theta-target procedures, the number of items must be defined a priori, while in ISA the number of items is determined automatically by the algorithm.

Random Forest-like tree ensemble that works with groups of predictor variables. When building a tree, a number of variables is taken randomly from each group separately, thus ensuring that it considers variables from each group for the splits. Useful when rows contain information about different things (e.g. user information and product information) and it's not sensible to make a prediction with information from only one group of variables, or when there are far more variables from one group than the other and it's desired to have groups appear evenly on trees. Trees are grown using the C5.0 algorithm rather than the usual CART algorithm. Supports parallelization (multithreaded), missing values in predictors, and categorical variables (without doing One-Hot encoding in the processing). Can also be used to create a regular (non-stratified) Random Forest-like model, but made up of C5.0 trees and with some additional control options. As it's built with C5.0 trees, it works only for classification (not for regression).

This data package contains four datasets of quantitative PCR (qPCR) amplification curves that were used as supplementary data in the research article by Sisti et al. (2010), <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-186>. The primary dataset comprises a ten-fold dilution series spanning copy numbers from 3.14 Ã 10^7 to 3.14 Ã 10^2, with twelve replicates per concentration. These samples are based on a pGEM-T Promega plasmid containing a 104 bp fragment of the mitochondrial gene NADH dehydrogenase 1 (MT-ND1), amplified using the ND1/ND2 primer pair. The remaining three datasets contain qPCR results in the presence of specific PCR inhibitors: tannic acid, immunoglobulin G (IgG), and quercetin, respectively, to assess their effects on the amplification process. These datasets are useful for researchers interested in PCR kinetics. The original raw data file is available as Additional File 1: <https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1186%2F1471-2105-11-186/MediaObjects/12859_2009_3643_MOESM1_ESM.XLS>.

This package implements the methodological developments found in Hermes, van Heerwaarden, and Behrouzi (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.04325>, and allows for the statistical modeling of asymmetric between-location effects, as well as within-location effects using spatial autoregressive graphical models. The package allows for the generation of spatial weight matrices to capture asymmetric effects for strip-type intercropping designs, although it can handle any type of spatial data commonly found in other sciences.

This package provides a spatial population can be generated based on spatially varying regression model under the assumption that observations are collected from a uniform two-dimensional grid consist of (m * m) lattice points with unit distance between any two neighbouring points.

This spatially generated data can be used to test different issues related to the statistical analysis of spatial data. This generated spatial data can be utilized in geographically weighted regression analysis for studying the spatially varying relationships among the variables.

An index is created using a mathematical model that transforms multi-dimensional variables into a single value. These variables are often correlated, and while PCA-based indices can address the issue of multicollinearity, they typically do not account for survey weights, which can lead to inaccurate rankings of survey units such as households, districts, or states. To resolve this, the current package facilitates the development of a principal component analysis-based composite index by incorporating survey weights for each sample observation. This ensures the generation of a survey-weighted principal component-based normalized composite index. Additionally, the package provides a normalized principal component-based composite index and ranks the sample observations based on the values of the composite indices.
