This package provides an interface to a HashiCorp vault server over its http API (typically these are self-hosted; see <https://www.vaultproject.io>). This allows for secure storage and retrieval of secrets over a network, such as tokens, passwords and certificates. Authentication with vault is supported through several backends including user name/password and authentication via GitHub'.

Collects tweets and metadata for threaded conversations and generates networks.

This package provides a Variational Bayesian algorithm for high-dimensional multi-source heterogeneous linear models. More details have been written up in a paper submitted to the journal Statistics in Medicine, and the details of variational Bayesian methods can be found in Ray and Szabo (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1847121>. It simultaneously performs parameter estimation and variable selection. The algorithm supports two model settings: (1) local models, where variable selection is only applied to homogeneous coefficients, and (2) global models, where variable selection is also performed on heterogeneous coefficients. Two forms of Spike-and-Slab priors are available: the Laplace distribution and the Gaussian distribution as the Slab component.

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>.

An R client for the vatcheckapi.com VAT number validation API. The API requires registration of an API key. Basic features are free, some require a paid subscription. You can find the full API documentation at <https://vatcheckapi.com/docs> .

Visualize Variance is an intuitive shiny applications tailored for agricultural research data analysis, including one-way and two-way analysis of variance, correlation, and other essential statistical tools. Users can easily upload their datasets, perform analyses, and download the results as a well-formatted document, streamlining the process of data analysis and reporting in agricultural research.The experimental design methods are based on classical work by Fisher (1925) and Scheffe (1959). The correlation visualization approaches follow methods developed by Wei & Simko (2021) and Friendly (2002) <doi:10.1198/000313002533>.

This package provides tools for analyzing the relationship between direct prices (based on labor values) and prices of production using Bayesian generalized linear models, panel data methods, partial least squares regression, canonical correlation analysis, and panel vector autoregression. Includes functions for model comparison, out-of-sample validation, and structural break detection. Here, methods use raw accounting data with explicit temporal structure, following Gomez Julian (2023) <doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/7J8KF> and standard econometric techniques for panel data analysis.

This package provides a lightweight package for sorting version codes in various forms. No strong dependencies guaranteed.

An algorithm for nonlinear global optimization based on the variable neighbourhood trust region search (VNTRS) algorithm proposed by Bierlaire et al. (2009) "A Heuristic for Nonlinear Global Optimization" <doi:10.1287/ijoc.1090.0343>. The algorithm combines variable neighbourhood exploration with a trust-region framework to efficiently search the solution space. It can terminate a local search early if the iterates are converging toward a previously visited local optimum or if further improvement within the current region is unlikely. In addition to global optimization, the algorithm can also be applied to identify multiple local optima.

Under a different representation of the multivariate normal (MVN) probability, we can use the Vecchia approximation to sample the integrand at a linear complexity with respect to n. Additionally, both the SOV algorithm from Genz (92) and the exponential-tilting method from Botev (2017) can be adapted to linear complexity. The reference for the method implemented in this package is Jian Cao and Matthias Katzfuss (2024) "Linear-Cost Vecchia Approximation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2311.09426>. Two major references for the development of our method are Alan Genz (1992) "Numerical Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" <doi:10.1080/10618600.1992.10477010> and Z. I. Botev (2017) "The Normal Law Under Linear Restrictions: Simulation and Estimation via Minimax Tilting" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1603.04166>.
