An implementation of the Likelihood ratio Test (LRT) for testing that, in a (non)linear mixed effects model, the variances of a subset of the random effects are equal to zero. There is no restriction on the subset of variances that can be tested: for example, it is possible to test that all the variances are equal to zero. Note that the implemented test is asymptotic. This package should be used on model fits from packages nlme', lmer', and saemix'. Charlotte Baey and Estelle Kuhn (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v107.i06>.

Generating functions for both optimal and ordinary difference sequences, and the difference-based estimation functions.

Models categorical time series through a Markov Chain when a) covariates are predictors for transitioning into the next state/symbol and b) when the dependence in the past states has variable length. The probability of transitioning to the next state in the Markov Chain is defined by a multinomial regression whose parameters depend on the past states of the chain and, moreover, the number of states in the past needed to predict the next state also depends on the observed states themselves. See Zambom, Kim, and Garcia (2022) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12615>.

Simplifies and largely automates practical voice analytics for social science research. This package offers an accessible and easy-to-use interface, including an interactive Shiny app, that simplifies the processing, extraction, analysis, and reporting of voice recording data in the behavioral and social sciences. The package includes batch processing capabilities to read and analyze multiple voice files in parallel, automates the extraction of key vocal features for further analysis, and automatically generates APA formatted reports for typical between-group comparisons in experimental social science research. A more extensive methodological introduction that inspired the development of the voiceR package is provided in Hildebrand et al. 2020 <doi:10.1016/j.jbusres.2020.09.020>.

This package provides a framework for generating virtual species distributions, a procedure increasingly used in ecology to improve species distribution models. This package integrates the existing methodological approaches with the objective of generating virtual species distributions with increased ecological realism.

The base class VirtualArray is defined, which acts as a wrapper around lists allowing users to fold arbitrary sequential data into n-dimensional, R-style virtual arrays. The derived XArray class is defined to be used for homogeneous lists that contain a single class of objects. The RasterArray and SfArray classes enable the use of stacked spatial data instead of lists.

This package implements the Vine Copula Change Point (VCCP) methodology for the estimation of the number and location of multiple change points in the vine copula structure of multivariate time series. The method uses vine copulas, various state-of-the-art segmentation methods to identify multiple change points, and a likelihood ratio test or the stationary bootstrap for inference. The vine copulas allow for various forms of dependence between time series including tail, symmetric and asymmetric dependence. The functions have been extensively tested on simulated multivariate time series data and fMRI data. For details on the VCCP methodology, please see Xiong & Cribben (2021).

This is a package for creating and running Agent Based Models (ABM). It provides a set of base classes with core functionality to allow bootstrapped models. For more intensive modeling, the supplied classes can be extended to fit researcher needs.

This package provides a toolset for interactively exploring the differences between two data frames.

Computes the Gaussian variational approximation of the Bayesian empirical likelihood posterior. This is an implementation of the function found in Yu, W., & Bondell, H. D. (2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2169701>.

The goal of the package is to equip the jmcm package (current version 0.2.1) with estimations of the covariance of estimated parameters. Two methods are provided. The first method is to use the inverse of estimated Fisher's information matrix, see M. Pourahmadi (2000) <doi:10.1093/biomet/87.2.425>, M. Maadooliat, M. Pourahmadi and J. Z. Huang (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11222-011-9284-6>, and W. Zhang, C. Leng, C. Tang (2015) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12065>. The second method is bootstrap based, see Liu, R.Y. (1988) <doi:10.1214/aos/1176351062> for reference.

The algorithm implemented in this package was designed to quickly estimates the distribution of the log-rank especially for heavy unbalanced groups. VALORATE estimates the null distribution and the p-value of the log-rank test based on a recent formulation. For a given number of alterations that define the size of survival groups, the estimation involves a weighted sum of distributions that are conditional on a co-occurrence term where mutations and events are both present. The estimation of conditional distributions is quite fast allowing the analysis of large datasets in few minutes <https://bioinformatics.mx/index.php/bioinfo-tools/>.

This package provides a collection of the functions for estimation, hypothesis testing, prediction for stationary vector autoregressive models.

This package provides an R interface for volesti C++ package. volesti computes estimations of volume of polytopes given by (i) a set of points, (ii) linear inequalities or (iii) Minkowski sum of segments (a.k.a. zonotopes). There are three algorithms for volume estimation as well as algorithms for sampling, rounding and rotating polytopes. Moreover, volesti provides algorithms for estimating copulas useful in computational finance. Methods implemented in volesti are described in A. Chalkis and V. Fisikopoulos (2022) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-077> and references therein.
