The Wavelet Decomposition followed by Random Forest Regression (RF) models have been applied for time series forecasting. The maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) algorithm was chosen as it works for any length of the series. The series is first divided into training and testing sets. In each of the wavelet decomposed series, the supervised machine learning approach namely random forest was employed to train the model. This package also provides accuracy metrics in the form of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Prediction Error (MAPE). This package is based on the algorithm of Ding et al. (2021) <DOI: 10.1007/s11356-020-12298-3>.

Estimation, simulation, hypothesis testing, AR-order selection, and forecasting for univariate higher-order stochastic volatility SV(p) models. Supports Gaussian, Student-t, and Generalized Error Distribution (GED) innovations, with optional leverage effects. Estimation uses closed-form Winsorized ARMA-SV (W-ARMA-SV) moment-based methods that avoid numerical optimization. Hypothesis testing includes Local Monte Carlo (LMC) and Maximized Monte Carlo (MMC) procedures for leverage effects, heavy tails, and autoregressive order. AR-order selection is also available via information criteria (BIC/AIC) using the Kalman-filter quasi-likelihood and the Hannan-Rissanen ARMA residual variance. Forecasting is based on Kalman filtering and smoothing.

The methodology is based on "The Whale Optimization Algorithm" by Mirjalili and Lewis (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.advengsoft.2016.01.008>.

The weighted ensemble method is a valuable approach for combining forecasts. This algorithm employs several optimization techniques to generate optimized weights. This package has been developed using algorithm of Armstrong (1989) <doi:10.1016/0024-6301(90)90317-W>.

New tools for the imputation of missing values in high-dimensional data are introduced using the non-parametric nearest neighbor methods. It includes weighted nearest neighbor imputation methods that use specific distances for selected variables. It includes an automatic procedure of cross validation and does not require prespecified values of the tuning parameters. It can be used to impute missing values in high-dimensional data when the sample size is smaller than the number of predictors. For more information see Faisal and Tutz (2017) <doi:10.1515/sagmb-2015-0098>.

This package provides tools for fitting and simulating mixtures of Watson distributions. The package is described in Sablica, Hornik and Leydold (2026) <doi:10.18637/jss.v115.i04>. The random sampling scheme of the package offers two sampling algorithms that are based of the results of Sablica, Hornik and Leydold (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2024.2416521>. What is more, the package offers a smart tool to combine these two methods, and based on the selected parameters, it approximates the relative sampling speed for both methods and picks the faster one. In addition, the package offers a fitting function for the mixtures of Watson distribution, that uses the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Special features are the possibility to use multiple variants of the E-step and M-step, sparse matrices for the data representation and state of the art methods for numerical evaluation of needed special functions using the results of Sablica and Hornik (2022) <doi:10.1090/mcom/3690> and Sablica and Hornik (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.jmaa.2024.128262>.

Efficient Bayesian generalized linear models with time-varying coefficients as in Helske (2022, <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2022.101016>). Gaussian, Poisson, and binomial observations are supported. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computations are done using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo provided by Stan, using a state space representation of the model in order to marginalise over the coefficients for efficient sampling. For non-Gaussian models, the package uses the importance sampling type estimators based on approximate marginal MCMC as in Vihola, Helske, Franks (2020, <doi:10.1111/sjos.12492>).

Computation of approximate potentials for both gradient and non gradient fields. It is known from physics that only gradient fields, also known as conservative, have a well defined potential function. Here we present an algorithm, based on the classical Helmholtz decomposition, to obtain an approximate potential function for non gradient fields. More information in Rodrà guez-Sánchez (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007788>.

This package provides a computationally efficient way of fitting weighted linear fixed effects estimators for causal inference with various weighting schemes. Weighted linear fixed effects estimators can be used to estimate the average treatment effects under different identification strategies. This includes stratified randomized experiments, matching and stratification for observational studies, first differencing, and difference-in-differences. The package implements methods described in Imai and Kim (2017) "When should We Use Linear Fixed Effects Regression Models for Causal Inference with Longitudinal Data?", available at <https://imai.fas.harvard.edu/research/FEmatch.html>.

Analysing convergent evolution using the Wheatsheaf index, described in Arbuckle et al. (2014) <doi: 10.1111/2041-210X.12195>, and some other unrelated but perhaps useful functions.

This is a small, lightweight package that lets users investigate the distribution of genotypes in genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) data where they expect (by and large) Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in order to assess rates of genotyping errors and the dependence of those rates on read depth. It implements a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler using Rcpp to compute a Bayesian estimate of what we call the heterozygote miscall rate for restriction-associated digest (RAD) sequencing data and other types of reduced representation GBS data. It also provides functions to generate plots of expected and observed genotype frequencies. Some background on these topics can be found in a recent paper "Recent advances in conservation and population genomics data analysis" by Hendricks et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/eva.12659>, and another paper describing the MCMC approach is in preparation with Gordon Luikart and Thierry Gosselin.

The wavelet-based variance transformation method is used for system modelling and prediction. It refines predictor spectral representation using Wavelet Theory, which leads to improved model specifications and prediction accuracy. Details of methodologies used in the package can be found in Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2020) <doi:10.1029/2019WR026962>, Jiang, Z., Rashid, M. M., Johnson, F., & Sharma, A.

This package provides regression modeling and prediction for the marginal mean of recurrent events in the presence of a competing terminal event using the weighted nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (wNPMLE) of Bellach and Kosorok (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.25934>. Two classes of transformation models are implemented: Box-Cox transformation models and logarithmic transformation models. These extend the proportional means model of Ghosh and Lin (2002) <doi:10.17615/pt0g-y207> and the transformation model framework of Zeng and Lin (2006) <doi:10.1093/biomet/93.3.627>. Parameter estimation is performed using automatic differentiation through the Template Model Builder (TMB) framework. Standard errors are computed using sandwich variance estimators that account for estimation of the inverse-probability censoring weights following Bellach, Kosorok, Rüschendorf and Fine (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1401540>.

Providing quantitative tools for input estimation, portfolio construction, and performance evaluation.

Assessing predictive models of spatial data can be challenging, both because these models are typically built for extrapolating outside the original region represented by training data and due to potential spatially structured errors, with "hot spots" of higher than expected error clustered geographically due to spatial structure in the underlying data. Methods are provided for assessing models fit to spatial data, including approaches for measuring the spatial structure of model errors, assessing model predictions at multiple spatial scales, and evaluating where predictions can be made safely. Methods are particularly useful for models fit using the tidymodels framework. Methods include Moran's I ('Moran (1950) <doi:10.2307/2332142>), Geary's C ('Geary (1954) <doi:10.2307/2986645>), Getis-Ord's G ('Ord and Getis (1995) <doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1995.tb00912.x>), agreement coefficients from Ji and Gallo (2006) (<doi: 10.14358/PERS.72.7.823>), agreement metrics from Willmott (1981) (<doi: 10.1080/02723646.1981.10642213>) and Willmott et al'.
