Translates a BNF (Backus-Naur Form) specification of a context-free language into an R grammar object which consists of the start symbol, the symbol table, the production table, and a short production table. The short production table is non-recursive. The grammar object contains the file name from which it was generated (without a path). In addition, it provides functions to determine the type of a symbol (isTerminal() and isNonterminal()) and functions to access the production table (rules() and derives()). For the BNF specification, see Backus, John et al. (1962) "Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 60". (ALGOL60 standards page <http://www.algol60.org/2standards.htm>, html-edition <https://www.masswerk.at/algol60/report.htm>) A preprocessor for macros which expand to standard BNF is included. The grammar compiler is an extension of the APL2 implementation in Geyer-Schulz, Andreas (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X).

Fits hierarchical regularized regression models to incorporate potentially informative external data, Weaver and Lewinger (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01761>. Utilizes coordinate descent to efficiently fit regularized regression models both with and without external information with the most common penalties used in practice (i.e. ridge, lasso, elastic net). Support for standard R matrices, sparse matrices and big.matrix objects.

Derivation tree operations are needed for implementing grammar-based genetic programming and grammatical evolution: Generating a random derivation trees of a context-free grammar of bounded depth, decoding a derivation tree, choosing a random node in a derivation tree, extracting a tree whose root is a specified node, and inserting a subtree into a derivation tree at a specified node. These operations are necessary for the initialization and for decoders of a random population of programs, as well as for implementing crossover and mutation operators. Depth-bounds are guaranteed by switching to a grammar without recursive production rules. For executing the examples, the package BNF is needed. The basic tree operations for generating, extracting, and inserting derivation trees as well as the conditions for guaranteeing complete derivation trees have been presented in Geyer-Schulz (1997, ISBN:978-3-7908-0830-X). The use of random integer vectors for the generation of derivation trees has been introduced in Ryan, C., Collins, J. J., and O'Neill, M. (1998) <doi:10.1007/BFb0055930> for grammatical evolution.

An R interface to the OpenPyXL Python library to create native Excel charts and work with Microsoft Excel files.

We consider the problem where we observe k vectors (possibly of different lengths), each representing an independent multinomial random vector. For a given function that takes in the concatenated vector of multinomial probabilities and outputs a real number, this is a Monte Carlo estimation procedure of an exact p-value and confidence interval. The resulting inference is valid even in small samples, when the parameter is on the boundary, and when the function is not differentiable at the parameter value, all situations where asymptotic methods and the bootstrap would fail. For more details see Sachs, Fay, and Gabriel (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.19141>.
