Implementation of the tree-guided feature selection and logic aggregation approach introduced in Chen et al. (2024) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2326621>. The method enables the selection and aggregation of large-scale rare binary features with a known hierarchical structure using a convex, linearly-constrained regularized regression framework. The package facilitates the application of this method to both linear regression and binary classification problems by solving the optimization problem via the smoothing proximal gradient descent algorithm (Chen et al. (2012) <doi:10.1214/11-AOAS514>).

Implementation of Testlet and Item Response Theory. A light-version yet comprehensive and streamlined framework for psychometric analysis using unidimensional Item Response Theory (IRT; Baker & Kim (2004) <doi:10.1201/9781482276725>) and Testlet Response Theory (TRT; Wainer et al., (2007) <doi:10.1017/CBO9780511618765>). Designed for researchers, this package supports the estimation of item and person parameters for a wide variety of models, including binary (i.e., Rasch, 2-Parameter Logistic, 3-Parameter Logistic) and polytomous (Partial Credit Model, Generalized Partial Credit Model, Graded Response Model) formats. It also supports the estimation of Testlet models (Rasch Testlet, 2-Parameter Logistic Testlet, 3-Parameter Logistic Testlet, Bifactor, Partial Credit Model Testlet, Graded Response), allowing users to account for local item dependence in bundled items. A key feature is the specialized support for combination use and joint estimation of item response model and testlet response model in one calibration. Beyond standard estimation via Marginal Maximum Likelihood with Expectation-Maximization (EM) or Joint Maximum Likelihood, the package also offers Bayesian estimation using priors with maximum a posteriori (MAP) method for item response theory models. It also provides functions for scale linking and equating (Mean-Mean, Mean-Sigma, Stocking-Lord) to ensure comparability across mixed-format test forms. It also facilitates fixed-parameter calibration, enabling users to estimate person abilities with known item parameters or vice versa, which is essential for pre-equating studies and item bank maintenance. Comprehensive data simulation functions are included to generate synthetic datasets with complex structures, including mixed-model blocks and specific testlet effects, aiding in methodological research and study design validation. Researchers can try multiple simulation situations.

This package creates simulated clinical trial data with realistic correlation structures and assumed efficacy levels by using a tilted bootstrap resampling approach. Samples are drawn from observed data with some samples appearing more frequently than others. May also be used for simulating from a joint Bayesian distribution along with clinical trials based on the Bayesian distribution.

This package provides a tool to help create shiny apps for selecting and annotating elements of images. Users must supply images, questions, and answer choices. The user interface is a dynamic shiny app, that displays the images and questions and answer choices. The data generated can be saved to a file that can be used for subsequent analysis. The original purpose was to annotate still images from tennis video for face recognition and emotion detection purposes.
