This package provides the estimation of a time-dependent covariance matrix of returns with the intended use for portfolio optimization. The package offers methods for determining the optimal number of factors to be used in the covariance estimation, a hypothesis test of time-varying covariance, and user-friendly functions for portfolio optimization and rolling window evaluation. The local PCA method, method for determining the number of factors, and associated hypothesis test are based on Su and Wang (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2016.12.004>. The approach to time-varying portfolio optimization follows Fan et al. (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.08.007>. The regularisation applied to the residual covariance matrix adopts the technique introduced by Chen et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2019.04.025>.

This package provides a constrained two-dimensional Delaunay triangulation package providing both triangulation and generation of voronoi mosaics of irregular spaced data.

An integrated set of extensions to the ergm package to analyze and simulate network evolution based on exponential-family random graph models (ERGM). tergm is a part of the statnet suite of packages for network analysis.

This package provides a collection of clinical trial designs and methods, implemented in rstan and R, including: the Continual Reassessment Method by O'Quigley et al. (1990) <doi:10.2307/2531628>; EffTox by Thall & Cook (2004) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2004.00218.x>; the two-parameter logistic method of Neuenschwander, Branson & Sponer (2008) <doi:10.1002/sim.3230>; and the Augmented Binary method by Wason & Seaman (2013) <doi:10.1002/sim.5867>; and more. We provide functions to aid model-fitting and analysis. The rstan implementations may also serve as a cookbook to anyone looking to extend or embellish these models. We hope that this package encourages the use of Bayesian methods in clinical trials. There is a preponderance of early phase trial designs because this is where Bayesian methods are used most. If there is a method you would like implemented, please get in touch.

This package implements methods to fit Virtual Twins models (Foster et al.

(2022) <doi:10.1177/17407745221095855>.

This package creates some WebGL shaders. They can be used as the background of a Shiny app. They also can be visualized in the RStudio viewer pane or included in Rmd documents, but this is pretty useless, besides contemplating them.

Efficient sampling of truncated multivariate (scale) mixtures of normals under linear inequality constraints is nontrivial due to the analytically intractable normalizing constant. Meanwhile, traditional methods may subject to numerical issues, especially when the dimension is high and dependence is strong. Algorithms proposed by Li and Ghosh (2015) <doi: 10.1080/15598608.2014.996690> are adopted for overcoming difficulties in simulating truncated distributions. Efficient rejection sampling for simulating truncated univariate normal distribution is included in the package, which shows superiority in terms of acceptance rate and numerical stability compared to existing methods and R packages. An efficient function for sampling from truncated multivariate normal distribution subject to convex polytope restriction regions based on Gibbs sampler for conditional truncated univariate distribution is provided. By extending the sampling method, a function for sampling truncated multivariate Student's t distribution is also developed. Moreover, the proposed method and computation remain valid for high dimensional and strong dependence scenarios. Empirical results in Li and Ghosh (2015) <doi: 10.1080/15598608.2014.996690> illustrated the superior performance in terms of various criteria (e.g. mixing and integrated auto-correlation time).

Different estimators are provided to solve the blind source separation problem for multivariate time series with stochastic volatility and supervised dimension reduction problem for multivariate time series.

This package provides data sets for teaching statistics and data science courses. It includes a sample of data from John Edmund Kerrich's famous coinflip experiment. These are data that I used for statistics. The package also contains an R Markdown template with the required formatting for assignments in my former courses.

It allows for mapping proportions and indicators defined on the unit interval. It implements Beta-based small area methods comprising the classical Beta regression models, the Flexible Beta model and Zero and/or One Inflated extensions (Janicki 2020 <doi:10.1080/03610926.2019.1570266>). Such methods, developed within a Bayesian framework through Stan <https://mc-stan.org/>, come equipped with a set of diagnostics and complementary tools, visualizing and exporting functions. A Shiny application with a user-friendly interface can be launched to further simplify the process. For further details, refer to De Nicolò and Gardini (2024 <doi:10.18637/jss.v108.i01>).

This package provides utilities to create and use lenses to simplify data manipulation. Lenses are composable getter/setter pairs that provide a functional approach to manipulating deeply nested data structures, e.g., elements within list columns in data frames. The implementation is based on the earlier lenses R package <https://github.com/cfhammill/lenses>, which was inspired by the Haskell lens package by Kmett (2012) <https://github.com/ekmett/lens>, one of the most widely referenced implementations of lenses. For additional background and history on the theory of lenses, see the lens package wiki: <https://github.com/ekmett/lens/wiki/History-of-Lenses>.

STARMA (Space-Time Autoregressive Moving Average) models are commonly utilized in modeling and forecasting spatiotemporal time series data. However, the intricate nonlinear dynamics observed in many space-time rainfall patterns often exceed the capabilities of conventional STARMA models. This R package enables the fitting of Time Delay Spatio-Temporal Neural Networks, which are adept at handling such complex nonlinear dynamics efficiently. For detailed methodology, please refer to Saha et al. (2020) <doi:10.1007/s00704-020-03374-2>.
