This package provides a meta-package that aims to make R easier for everyone, especially programmers who have a background in SAS® software. This set of packages brings many useful concepts to R', including data libraries, data dictionaries, formats and format catalogs, a data step, and a traceable log. The system also includes a package that replicates several commonly-used SAS® procedures, like PROC FREQ', PROC MEANS', and PROC REG'.

Variants of strategy estimation (Dal Bo & Frechette, 2011, <doi:10.1257/aer.101.1.411>), including the model with parameters for the choice probabilities of the strategies (Breitmoser, 2015, <doi:10.1257/aer.20130675>), and the model with individual level covariates for the selection of strategies by individuals (Dvorak & Fehrler, 2018, <doi:10.2139/ssrn.2986445>).

This package provides a flexible interface to discover, inspect, plan, and retrieve aggregate data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) through its SIDRA application programming interfaces. SIDRA is IBGE's system for retrieving aggregate statistical data.

This package provides a pilot matching design to automatically stratify and match large datasets. The manual_stratify() function allows users to manually stratify a dataset based on categorical variables of interest, while the auto_stratify() function does automatically by allocating a held-aside (pilot) data set, fitting a prognostic score (see Hansen (2008) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asn004>) on the pilot set, and stratifying the data set based on prognostic score quantiles. The strata_match() function then does optimal matching of the data set in parallel within strata.

The goal of SAFEPG is to predict climate-related extreme losses by fitting a frequency-severity model. It improves predictive performance by introducing a sign-aligned regularization term, which ensures consistent signs for the coefficients across the frequency and severity components. This enhancement not only increases model accuracy but also enhances its interpretability, making it more suitable for practical applications in risk assessment.

This package provides tools for designing spatially explicit capture-recapture studies of animal populations. This is primarily a simulation manager for package secr'. Extensions in version 2.5.0 include costing and evaluation of detector spacing.

This package provides tools developed to facilitate the establishment of the rank and social hierarchy for gregarious animals by the Si method developed by Kondo & Hurnik (1990)<doi:10.1016/0168-1591(90)90125-W>. It is also possible to determine the number of agonistic interactions between two individuals, sociometric and dyadics matrix from dataset obtained through electronic bins. In addition, it is possible plotting the results using a bar plot, box plot, and sociogram.

Balancing computational and statistical efficiency, subsampling techniques offer a practical solution for handling large-scale data analysis. Subsampling methods enhance statistical modeling for massive datasets by efficiently drawing representative subsamples from full dataset based on tailored sampling probabilities. These probabilities are optimized for specific goals, such as minimizing the variance of coefficient estimates or reducing prediction error. Based on specified modeling assumptions and subsampling techniques, the package provides functions to draw subsamples from the full data, fit the model on the subsamples, and perform statistical inference.

This package provides functions for performing stochastic search variable selection (SSVS) for binary and continuous outcomes and visualizing the results. SSVS is a Bayesian variable selection method used to estimate the probability that individual predictors should be included in a regression model. Using MCMC estimation, the method samples thousands of regression models in order to characterize the model uncertainty regarding both the predictor set and the regression parameters. For details see Bainter, McCauley, Wager, and Losin (2020) Improving practices for selecting a subset of important predictors in psychology: An application to predicting pain, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science 3(1), 66-80 <DOI:10.1177/2515245919885617>.

Fitting a smooth path to a given set of noisy spherical data observed at known time points. It implements a piecewise geodesic curve fitting method on the unit sphere based on a velocity-based penalization scheme. The proposed approach is implemented using the Riemannian block coordinate descent algorithm. To understand the method and algorithm, one can refer to Bak, K. Y., Shin, J. K., & Koo, J. Y. (2023) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2022.2054962> for the case of order 1. Additionally, this package includes various functions necessary for handling spherical data.

This package provides an implementation of simplicial complexes for Topological Data Analysis (TDA). The package includes functions to compute faces, boundary operators, Betti numbers, Euler characteristic, and to construct simplicial complexes, including Vietoris-Rips, Cech, Alpha, Delaunay, Witness, flood, and (via a Freudenthal triangulation) cubical complexes for grid and image data. It also implements persistent homology, from building filtrations (via a single build_filtration() entry point covering all of the above) to computing persistence diagrams, persistence landscapes, and Wasserstein/bottleneck distances between diagrams, with the aim of helping readers understand the core concepts of computational topology. Methods are based on standard references in persistent homology such as Zomorodian and Carlsson (2005) <doi:10.1007/s00454-004-1146-y>, Chazal and Michel (2021) <doi:10.3389/frai.2021.667963>, and Otter, Porter, Tillmann, Grindrod and Harrington (2017) <doi:10.1140/epjds/s13688-017-0109-5>.
