This package provides functions for computing test subscores using different methods in both classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). This package enables three types of subscoring methods within the framework of CTT and IRT, including (1) Wainer's augmentation method (Wainer et. al., 2001) <doi:10.4324/9781410604729>, (2) Haberman's subscoring methods (Haberman, 2008) <doi:10.3102/1076998607302636>, and (3) Yen's objective performance index (OPI; Yen, 1987) <https://www.ets.org/research/policy_research_reports/publications/paper/1987/hrap>. It also includes functions to compute Proportional Reduction of Mean Squared Errors (PRMSEs) in Haberman's methods which are used to examine whether test subscores are of added value. In addition, the package includes a function to assess the local independence assumption of IRT with Yen's Q3 statistic (Yen, 1984 <doi:10.1177/014662168400800201>; Yen, 1993 <doi:10.1111/j.1745-3984.1993.tb00423.x>).

This package provides reusable functions for aggregated cluster-period data, mixed-effects analysis, and simulation-based power and type I error evaluation in stepped-wedge cluster randomized trials. The design and mixed-effects analysis follow Hussey and Hughes (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2006.05.007>. Intraclass correlations for binary outcomes are converted to logistic-normal random-intercept standard deviations following Eldridge, Ukoumunne and Carlin (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1751-5823.2009.00092.x>. Monte Carlo uncertainty in estimated power is summarized using the exact binomial interval of Clopper and Pearson (1934) <doi:10.1093/biomet/26.4.404>. The simulation engine supports sequence-specific baseline risks, cluster random effects, direct intraclass-correlation specification, Monte Carlo uncertainty intervals, and model-fitting diagnostics. Applied physician and specialty helpers are retained for backward compatibility and for an example health-services workflow.

This is an interface for the Python package StepMix'. It is a Python package following the scikit-learn API for model-based clustering and generalized mixture modeling (latent class/profile analysis) of continuous and categorical data. StepMix handles missing values through Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) and provides multiple stepwise Expectation-Maximization (EM) estimation methods based on pseudolikelihood theory. Additional features include support for covariates and distal outcomes, various simulation utilities, and non-parametric bootstrapping, which allows inference in semi-supervised and unsupervised settings.

The HJ-Biplot is a multivariate method that represents high-dimensional data in a low-dimensional subspace, capturing most of the informationâ s variability in just a few dimensions. This package implements three new regularized versions of the HJ-Biplot: Ridge, LASSO, and Elastic Net. These versions introduce restrictions that shrink or zero-out variable weights to improve interpretability based on regularization theory. All methods provide graphical representations using ggplot2'.

The overall performance of soil ecosystem services and productivity greatly relies on soil health, making it a crucial indicator. The evaluation of soil physical, chemical, and biological parameters is necessary to determine the overall soil quality index. In our package, three commonly used methods, including linear scoring, regression-based, and principal component-based soil quality indexing, are employed to calculate the soil quality index. This package has been developed using concept of Bastida et al. (2008) and Doran and Parkin (1994) <doi:10.1016/j.geoderma.2008.08.007> <doi:10.2136/sssaspecpub35.c1>.

Use stem analysis data to reconstructing tree growth and carbon accumulation. Users can independently or in combination perform a number of standard tasks for any tree species. (i) Age class determination. (ii) The cumulative growth, mean annual increment, and current annual increment of diameter at breast height (DBH) with bark, tree height, and stem volume with bark are estimated. (iii) Tree biomass and carbon storage estimation from volume and allometric models are calculated. (iv) Height-diameter relationship is fitted with nonlinear models, if diameter at breast height (DBH) or tree height are available, which can be used to retrieve tree height and diameter at breast height (DBH). <https://github.com/forestscientist/StemAnalysis>.
