Label, recode, rename, and convert datasets and ASCII files more efficiently. speedycode automates the code necessary for labeling variables with the labelled package, recoding and renaming variables with dplyr syntax, and converting ASCII files with the readroper package. Most functions require only the name of the dataset and the code will be automatically written. Some convenience functions useful for converting ASCII files are also included.

Fast, lightweight toolkit for data splitting. Data sets can be partitioned into disjoint groups (e.g. into training, validation, and test) or into (repeated) k-folds for subsequent cross-validation. Besides basic splits, the package supports stratified, grouped as well as blocked splitting. Furthermore, cross-validation folds for time series data can be created. See e.g. Hastie et al. (2001) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-84858-7> for the basic background on data partitioning and cross-validation.

An implementation of split-population duration regression models. Unlike regular duration models, split-population duration models are mixture models that accommodate the presence of a sub-population that is not at risk for failure, e.g. cancer patients who have been cured by treatment. This package implements Weibull and Loglogistic forms for the duration component, and focuses on data with time-varying covariates. These models were originally formulated in Boag (1949) and Berkson and Gage (1952), and extended in Schmidt and Witte (1989).

Spatial versions of Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDDs) are becoming increasingly popular as tools for causal inference. However, conducting state-of-the-art analyses often involves tedious and time-consuming steps. This package offers comprehensive functionalities for executing all required spatial and econometric tasks in a streamlined manner. Moreover, it equips researchers with tools for performing essential placebo and balancing checks comprehensively. The fact that researchers do not have to rely on APIs of external GIS software ensures replicability and raises the standard for spatial RDDs.

This is an implementation of the algorithm described in Section 3 of Hosszejni and Frühwirth-Schnatter (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2211.00671>. The algorithm is used to verify that the counting rule CR(r,1) holds for the sparsity pattern of the transpose of a factor loading matrix. As detailed in Section 2 of the same paper, if CR(r,1) holds, then the idiosyncratic variances are generically identified. If CR(r,1) does not hold, then we do not know whether the idiosyncratic variances are identified or not.

This package provides a spatial population can be generated based on spatially varying regression model under the assumption that observations are collected from a uniform two-dimensional grid consist of (m * m) lattice points with unit distance between any two neighbouring points. For method details see Chao, Liu., Chuanhua, Wei. and Yunan, Su. (2018).<DOI:10.1080/10485252.2018.1499907>. This spatially generated data can be used to test different issues related to the statistical analysis of spatial data. This generated spatial data can be utilized in geographically weighted regression analysis for studying the spatially varying relationships among the variables.

This package implements the SparseStep model for solving regression problems with a sparsity constraint on the parameters. The SparseStep regression model was proposed in Van den Burg, Groenen, and Alfons (2017) <arXiv:1701.06967>. In the model, a regularization term is added to the regression problem which approximates the counting norm of the parameters. By iteratively improving the approximation a sparse solution to the regression problem can be obtained. In this package both the standard SparseStep algorithm is implemented as well as a path algorithm which uses golden section search to determine solutions with different values for the regularization parameter.

This package contains efficient implementations of Discrete Optimal Transport algorithms for the computation of Kantorovich-Wasserstein distances between pairs of large spatial maps (Bassetti, Gualandi, Veneroni (2020), <doi:10.1137/19M1261195>). All the algorithms are based on an ad-hoc implementation of the Network Simplex algorithm. The package has four main helper functions: compareOneToOne() (to compare two spatial maps), compareOneToMany() (to compare a reference map with a list of other maps), compareAll() (to compute a matrix of distances between a list of maps), and focusArea() (to compute the KWD distance within a focus area). In non-convex maps, the helper functions first build the convex-hull of the input bins and pad the weights with zeros.

This package provides a graph community detection algorithm that aims to be performant on large graphs and robust, returning consistent results across runs. SpeakEasy 2 (SE2), the underlying algorithm, is described in Chris Gaiteri, David R. Connell & Faraz A. Sultan et al. (2023) <doi:10.1186/s13059-023-03062-0>. The core algorithm is written in C', providing speed and keeping the memory requirements low. This implementation can take advantage of multiple computing cores without increasing memory usage. SE2 can detect community structure across scales, making it a good choice for biological data, which often has hierarchical structure. Graphs can be passed to the algorithm as adjacency matrices using base R matrices, the Matrix library, igraph graphs, or any data that can be coerced into a matrix.

Fit latent variable models with the GEV distribution as the data likelihood and the GEV parameters following latent Gaussian processes. The models in this package are built using the template model builder TMB in R, which has the fast ability to integrate out the latent variables using Laplace approximation. This package allows the users to choose in the fit function which GEV parameter(s) is considered as a spatially varying random effect following a Gaussian process, so the users can fit spatial GEV models with different complexities to their dataset without having to write the models in TMB by themselves. This package also offers methods to sample from both fixed and random effects posteriors as well as the posterior predictive distributions at different spatial locations. Methods for fitting this class of models are described in Chen, Ramezan, and Lysy (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.07051>.

This package provides a multidimensional dataset of students performance assessment in high school physics. The SPHERE dataset was collected from 497 students in four public high schools specifically measuring their conceptual understanding, scientific ability, and attitude toward physics [see Santoso et al. (2024) <doi:10.17632/88d7m2fv7p.1>]. The data collection was conducted using some research based assessments established by the physics education research community. They include the Force Concept Inventory, the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation, the Rotational and Rolling Motion Conceptual Survey, the Fluid Mechanics Concept Inventory, the Mechanical Waves Conceptual Survey, the Thermal Concept Evaluation, the Survey of Thermodynamic Processes and First and Second Laws, the Scientific Abilities Assessment Rubrics, and the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey. Students attributes related to gender, age, socioeconomic status, domicile, literacy, physics identity, and test results administered using teachers developed items are also reported in this dataset.

Corrects the spelling of a given word in English using a modification of Peter Norvig's spell correct algorithm (see <http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html>) which handles up to three edits. The algorithm tries to find the spelling with maximum probability of intended correction out of all possible candidate corrections from the original word.
