Compute the standard expected years of life lost (YLL), as developed by the Global Burden of Disease Study (Murray, C.J., Lopez, A.D. and World Health Organization, 1996). The YLL is based on comparing the age of death to an external standard life expectancy curve. It also computes the average YLL, which highlights premature causes of death and brings attention to preventable deaths (Aragon et al., 2008).

Test of linearity originally proposed by Yatchew (1997) <doi:10.1016/S0165-1765(97)00218-8> and improved by de Chaisemartin & D'Haultfoeuille (2024) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4284811> to be robust under heteroskedasticity.

Simple and efficient access to Yahoo Finance's historical data API <https://finance.yahoo.com/> for querying and retrieval of financial data. The core functionality of the yfhist package abstracts the complexities of interacting with Yahoo Finance APIs, such as session management, crumb and cookie handling, query construction, date validation, and interval management. This abstraction allows users to focus on retrieving data rather than managing API details. Use cases include historical data across a range of security types including equities & ETFs, indices, and other tickers. The package supports flexible query capabilities, including customizable date ranges, multiple time intervals, and automatic data validation. It automatically manages interval-specific limitations, such as lookback periods for intraday data and maximum date ranges for minute-level intervals. The implementation leverages standard HTTP libraries to handle API interactions efficiently and provides support for both R and Python to ensure accessibility for a broad audience.

Inference procedures accommodate a flexible range of hazard ratio patterns with a two-sample semi-parametric model. This model contains the proportional hazards model and the proportional odds model as sub-models, and accommodates non-proportional hazards situations to the extreme of having crossing hazards and crossing survivor functions. Overall, this package has four major functions: 1) the parameter estimation, namely short-term and long-term hazard ratio parameters; 2) 95 percent and 90 percent point-wise confidence intervals and simultaneous confidence bands for the hazard ratio function; 3) p-value of the adaptive weighted log-rank test; 4) p-values of two lack-of-fit tests for the model. See the included "read_me_first.pdf" for brief instructions. In this version (1.1), there is no need to sort the data before applying this package.

This package provides a fast, correct, safe, and ergonomic YAML 1.2 parser and generator written in Rust'. Convert between YAML and simple R objects with full support for multi-document streams, tags, anchors, and aliases. Offers opt-in handlers for custom tag behavior and round-trips common R data structures. Implements the YAML 1.2.2 specification from the YAML Language Development Team (2021) <https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/>. Proudly supported by Posit.

Modelling the yield curve with some parametric models. The models implemented are: Nelson, C.R., and A.F. Siegel (1987) <doi: 10.1086/296409>, Diebold, F.X. and Li, C. (2006) <doi: 10.1016/j.jeconom.2005.03.005> and Svensson, L.E. (1994) <doi: 10.3386/w4871>. The package also includes the data of the term structure of interest rate of Federal Reserve Bank and European Central Bank.

This package performs nearest neighbor-based imputation using one or more alternative approaches to processing multivariate data. These include methods based on canonical correlation: analysis, canonical correspondence analysis, and a multivariate adaptation of the random forest classification and regression techniques of Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler. Additional methods are also offered. The package includes functions for comparing the results from running alternative techniques, detecting imputation targets that are notably distant from reference observations, detecting and correcting for bias, bootstrapping and building ensemble imputations, and mapping results.

Write YAML front matter for R Markdown and related documents. Work with YAML objects more naturally and write the resulting YAML to your clipboard or to YAML files related to your project.

Semiparametric modeling of lifetime data with crossing survival curves via Yang and Prentice model with piecewise exponential baseline distribution. Details about the model can be found in Demarqui and Mayrink (2019) <arXiv:1910.02406>. Model fitting carried out via likelihood-based and Bayesian approaches. The package also provides point and interval estimation for the crossing survival times.

Analyze data from behavioral experiments conducted using MED-PC software developed by Med Associates Inc. Includes functions to fit exponential and hyperbolic models for delay discounting tasks, exponential mixtures for inter-response times, and Gaussian plus ramp models for peak procedure data, among others.

Simple and efficient access to Yahoo Finance's screener API <https://finance.yahoo.com/research-hub/screener/> for querying and retrieval of financial data. The core functionality abstracts the complexities of interacting with Yahoo Finance APIs, such as session management, crumb and cookie handling, query construction, pagination, and JSON payload generation. This abstraction allows users to focus on filtering and retrieving data rather than managing API details. Use cases include screening across a range of security types including equities, mutual funds, ETFs, indices, and futures. The package supports advanced query capabilities, including logical operators, nested filters, and customizable payloads. It automatically handles pagination to ensure efficient retrieval of large datasets by fetching results in batches of up to 250 entries per request. Filters can be dynamically defined to accommodate a wide range of screening needs. The implementation leverages standard HTTP libraries to handle API interactions efficiently and provides support for both R and Python to ensure accessibility for a broad audience.
