This package provides an R interface for interacting with the Tableau Server. It allows users to perform various operations such as publishing workbooks, refreshing data extracts, and managing users using the Tableau REST API (see <https://help.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api_ref.htm> for details).

This package provides tools for viewscape analysis from one or multiple viewpoints using a digital surface or elevation model. Core functionality includes computing viewsheds, quantifying visual magnitude, calculating a suite of viewscape configuration metrics (extent, depth, relief, Sky View Factor, skyline variation, and patch-based landscape structure), Shannon Diversity Index and land cover feature proportions within the visible area, pairwise intervisibility networks, panoramic view generation, and visualizing results as rasters or polygons. Viewscape configuration metrics follow the methods of Tabrizian et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.landurbplan.2019.103704>. The viewshed algorithm is based on Franklin & Ray (1994) <https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:10680920> and Wang et al. (2000) <https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:131687018>. Visual magnitude is derived from Chamberlain & Meitner (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.landurbplan.2013.01.003>. Sky View Factor is computed following Oke (1981) <doi:10.1002/joc.3370010304> as implemented in the shadow package (Dorman et al. 2019) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2019-024>.

This package contains functions for a variational Bayesian method for sparse PCA proposed by Ning (2020) <arXiv:2102.00305>. There are two algorithms: the PX-CAVI algorithm (if assuming the loadings matrix is jointly row-sparse) and the batch PX-CAVI algorithm (if without this assumption). The outputs of the main function, VBsparsePCA(), include the mean and covariance of the loadings matrix, the score functions, the variable selection results, and the estimated variance of the random noise.

EQ-5D is a standard instrument (<https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/>) that measures the quality of life often used in clinical and economic evaluations of health care technologies. Both adult versions of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) contain a descriptive system and visual analog scale. The descriptive system measures the patient's health in 5 dimensions: the 5L versions has 5 levels and 3L version has 3 levels. The descriptive system scores are usually converted to index values using country specific values sets (that incorporates the country preferences). This package allows the calculation of both descriptive system scores to the index value scores. The value sets for EQ-5D-3L are from the references mentioned in the website <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-3l-about/valuation/> The value sets for EQ-5D-3L for a total of 31 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The value sets for EQ-5D-5L are obtained from references mentioned in the <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-5l-about/valuation-standard-value-sets/> and other sources. The value sets for EQ-5D-5L for a total of 17 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The package can also be used to map 5L scores to 3L index values for 10 countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe. The value set and method for mapping are obtained from Van Hout et al (2012) <doi: 10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>.

The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model is a macroscale hydrologic model that solves full water and energy balances, originally developed by Xu Liang at the University of Washington (UW). The version of VIC source code used is of 5.0.1 on <https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/>, see Hamman et al. (2018). Development and maintenance of the current official version of the VIC model at present is led by the UW Hydro (Computational Hydrology group) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UW. VIC is a research model and in its various forms it has been applied to most of the major river basins around the world, as well as globally <http://vic.readthedocs.io/en/master/Documentation/References/>.

Full model selection (detection of the relevant features and estimation of the number of clusters) for model-based clustering (see reference here <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9670-1>). Data to analyze can be continuous, categorical, integer or mixed. Moreover, missing values can occur and do not necessitate any pre-processing. Shiny application permits an easy interpretation of the results.

Includes functions for model comparison, out-of-sample validation, and structural break detection. Here, methods use raw accounting data with explicit temporal structure, following Gomez Julian (2023) <doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/7J8KF> and standard econometric techniques for panel data analysis.

This package provides a framework to infer causality on a pair of time series of real numbers based on variable-lag Granger causality and transfer entropy. Typically, Granger causality and transfer entropy have an assumption of a fixed and constant time delay between the cause and effect. However, for a non-stationary time series, this assumption is not true. For example, considering two time series of velocity of person A and person B where B follows A. At some time, B stops tying his shoes, then running to catch up A. The fixed-lag assumption is not true in this case. We propose a framework that allows variable-lags between cause and effect in Granger causality and transfer entropy to allow them to deal with variable-lag non-stationary time series. Please see Chainarong Amornbunchornvej, Elena Zheleva, and Tanya Berger-Wolf (2021) <doi:10.1145/3441452> when referring to this package in publications.
