Computes characteristics of independent rainfall events (duration, total rainfall depth, and intensity) extracted from a sub-daily rainfall time series based on the inter-event time definition (IETD) method. To have a reference value of IETD, it also analyzes/computes IETD values through three methods: autocorrelation analysis, the average annual number of events analysis, and coefficient of variation analysis. Ideal for analyzing the sensitivity of IETD to characteristics of independent rainfall events. Adams B, Papa F (2000) <ISBN: 978-0-471-33217-6>. Joo J et al. (2014) <doi:10.3390/w6010045>.

The package obtains parameter estimation, i.e., maximum likelihood estimators (MLE), via the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for the Finite Mixture of Regression (FMR) models with Normal distribution, and MLE for the Finite Mixture of Accelerated Failure Time Regression (FMAFTR) subject to right censoring with Log-Normal and Weibull distributions via the EM algorithm and the Newton-Raphson algorithm (for Weibull distribution). More importantly, the package obtains the maximum penalized likelihood (MPLE) for both FMR and FMAFTR models (collectively called FMRs). A component-wise tuning parameter selection based on a component-wise BIC is implemented in the package. Furthermore, this package provides Ridge Regression and Elastic Net.

Bayesian factor models are effective tools for dimension reduction. This is especially applicable to multivariate large-scale datasets. It allows researchers to understand the latent factors of the data which are the linear or non-linear combination of the variables. Dynamic Intrinsic Conditional Autocorrelative Priors (ICAR) Spatiotemporal Factor Models DIFM package provides function to run Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), evaluation methods and visual plots from Shin and Ferreira (2023)<doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2023.100763>. Our method is a class of Bayesian factor model which can account for spatial and temporal correlations. By incorporating these correlations, the model can capture specific behaviors and provide predictions.
This package implements multivariate Fay-Herriot models for small area estimation. It uses empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP) estimator. Multivariate models consider the correlation of several target variables and borrow strength from auxiliary variables to improve the effectiveness of a domain sample size. Models which accommodated by this package are univariate model with several target variables (model 0), multivariate model (model 1), autoregressive multivariate model (model 2), and heteroscedastic autoregressive multivariate model (model 3). Functions provide EBLUP estimators and mean squared error (MSE) estimator for each model. These models were developed by Roberto Benavent and Domingo Morales (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2015.07.013>.
Calculation routines based on the FOCUS Kinetics Report (2006, 2014). Includes a function for conveniently defining differential equation models, model solution based on eigenvalues if possible or using numerical solvers. If a C compiler (on windows: Rtools') is installed, differential equation models are solved using automatically generated C functions. Non-constant errors can be taken into account using variance by variable or two-component error models <doi:10.3390/environments6120124>. Hierarchical degradation models can be fitted using nonlinear mixed-effects model packages as a back end <doi:10.3390/environments8080071>.

Calculates nonparametric pointwise confidence intervals for the survival distribution for right censored data, and for medians [Fay and Brittain <DOI:10.1002/sim.6905>]. Has two-sample tests for dissimilarity (e.g., difference, ratio or odds ratio) in survival at a fixed time, and differences in medians [Fay, Proschan, and Brittain <DOI:10.1111/biom.12231>]. Basically, the package gives exact inference methods for one- and two-sample exact inferences for Kaplan-Meier curves (e.g., generalizing Fisher's exact test to allow for right censoring), which are especially important for latter parts of the survival curve, small sample sizes or heavily censored data. Includes mid-p options.
This package provides a collection of functions that perform jump regression and image analysis such as denoising, deblurring and jump detection. The implemented methods are based on the following research: Qiu, P. (1998) <doi:10.1214/aos/1024691468>, Qiu, P. and Yandell, B. (1997) <doi: 10.1080/10618600.1997.10474746>, Qiu, P. (2009) <doi: 10.1007/s10463-007-0166-9>, Kang, Y. and Qiu, P. (2014) <doi: 10.1080/00401706.2013.844732>, Qiu, P. and Kang, Y. (2015) <doi: 10.5705/ss.2014.054>, Kang, Y., Mukherjee, P.S. and Qiu, P. (2018) <doi: 10.1080/00401706.2017.1415975>, Kang, Y. (2020) <doi: 10.1080/10618600.2019.1665536>.
Feature screening is a powerful tool in processing ultrahigh dimensional data. It attempts to screen out most irrelevant features in preparation for a more elaborate analysis. Xu and Chen (2014)<doi:10.1080/01621459.2013.879531> proposed an effective screening method SMLE, which naturally incorporates the joint effects among features in the screening process. This package provides an efficient implementation of SMLE-screening for high-dimensional linear, logistic, and Poisson models. The package also provides a function for conducting accurate post-screening feature selection based on an iterative hard-thresholding procedure and a user-specified selection criterion. Zang, Xu, and Burkett (2025)<doi:10.18637/jss.v115.i08>.
Parameter inference methods for models defined implicitly using a random simulator. Inference is carried out using simulation-based estimates of the log-likelihood of the data. The inference methods implemented in this package are explained in Park, J. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arxiv.2311.09446>. These methods are built on a simulation metamodel which assumes that the estimates of the log-likelihood are approximately normally distributed with the mean function that is locally quadratic around its maximum. Parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification can be carried out using the ht() function (for hypothesis testing) and the ci() function (for constructing a confidence interval for one-dimensional parameters).
CPSM provides a comprehensive computational pipeline for predicting survival probability and risk groups in cancer patients. The package includes steps for data preprocessing, training/test split, and normalization. It enables feature selection using univariate survival analysis and computes a LASSO-based prognostic index (PI) score. CPSM supports the development of predictive models using various feature sets and offers a suite of visualization tools, including survival curves based on predicted probabilities, barplots for predicted mean and median survival times, KM plots overlaid with individual survival predictions, and nomograms for estimating 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival probabilities. This makes CPSM a versatile tool for survival analysis in cancer research.
This package provides functions to construct two-sided Bayesian simultaneous credible bands (BSCBs) for the regression curve in univariate polynomial regression over a finite covariate interval. Six methods are implemented, including Normal-Gamma conjugate priors (with empirical Bayes, unit-information, and g-prior hyperparameter specifications), non-conjugate priors fitted via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) using cmdstanr', and a non-informative independent Jeffreys prior approach. Also includes functions for computing the empirical simultaneous coverage rate (ESCR) and posterior simultaneous coverage probability (PSCP), enabling performance comparison across methods. The methodology is described in: Yang et al. (2026). "Bayesian simultaneous credible bands for polynomial regression" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.28015>.
Perform mediation analysis in the presence of high-dimensional mediators based on the potential outcome framework. Bayesian Mediation Analysis (BAMA), developed by Song et al (2019) <doi:10.1111/biom.13189> and Song et al (2020) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2009.11409>, relies on two Bayesian sparse linear mixed models to simultaneously analyze a relatively large number of mediators for a continuous exposure and outcome assuming a small number of mediators are truly active. This sparsity assumption also allows the extension of univariate mediator analysis by casting the identification of active mediators as a variable selection problem and applying Bayesian methods with continuous shrinkage priors on the effects.
Implementation in a simple and efficient way of fully customisable population genetics simulations, considering multiple loci that have epistatic interactions. Specifically suited to the modelling of multilocus nucleocytoplasmic systems (with both diploid and haploid loci), it is nevertheless possible to simulate purely diploid (or purely haploid) genetic models. Examples of models that can be simulated with Ease are numerous, for example models of genetic incompatibilities as presented by Marie-Orleach et al. (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.07.25.501356>. Many others are conceivable, although few are actually explored, Ease having been developed in particular to provide a solution so that these kinds of models can be simulated simply.
This package performs multiple empirical likelihood tests.

Analysis of experimental multi-parent populations to detect regions of the genome (called quantitative trait loci, QTLs) influencing phenotypic traits measured in unique and multiple environments. The population must be composed of crosses between a set of at least three parents (e.g. factorial design, diallel', or nested association mapping). The functions cover data processing, QTL detection, and results visualization. The implemented methodology is described in Garin, Wimmer, Mezmouk, Malosetti and van Eeuwijk (2017) <doi:10.1007/s00122-017-2923-3>, in Garin, Malosetti and van Eeuwijk (2020) <doi: 10.1007/s00122-020-03621-0>, and in Garin, Diallo, Tekete, Thera, ..., and Rami (2024) <doi: 10.1093/genetics/iyae003>.

The stochastic frontier estimators can handle both half-normal and truncated normal models with conditional mean and heteroskedasticity. The marginal effects of determinants can be obtained.
Evaluate or optimize designs for nonlinear mixed effects models using the Fisher Information matrix. Methods used in the package refer to Mentré F, Mallet A, Baccar D (1997) <doi:10.1093/biomet/84.2.429>, Retout S, Comets E, Samson A, Mentré F (2007) <doi:10.1002/sim.2910>, Bazzoli C, Retout S, Mentré F (2009) <doi:10.1002/sim.3573>, Le Nagard H, Chao L, Tenaillon O (2011) <doi:10.1186/1471-2148-11-326>, Combes FP, Retout S, Frey N, Mentré F (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11095-013-1079-3> and Seurat J, Tang Y, Mentré F, Nguyen TT (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2021.106126>.
This package provides three methods to generate fully-sequential space-filling designs inside a unit hypercube. A fully-sequential space-filling design means a sequence of nested designs (as the design size varies from one point up to some maximum number of points) with the design points added one at a time and such that the design at each size has good space-filling properties. Two methods target the minimum pairwise distance criterion and generate maximin designs, among which one method is more efficient when design size is large. One method targets the maximum hole size criterion and uses a heuristic to generate what is closer to a minimax design.
This package provides a comprehensive framework in R for modeling and forecasting economic scenarios based on multi-level dynamic factor model. The package enables users to: (i) extract global and group-specific factors using a flexible multi-level factor structure; (ii) compute asymptotically valid confidence regions for the estimated factors, accounting for uncertainty in the factor loadings; (iii) obtain estimates of the parameters of the factor-augmented quantile regressions together with their standard deviations; (iv) recover full predictive conditional densities from estimated quantiles; (v) obtain risk measures based on extreme quantiles of the conditional densities; (vi) estimate the conditional density and the corresponding extreme quantiles when the factors are stressed.
Analyze the default risk of credit portfolios. Commonly known models, like CreditRisk+ or the CreditMetrics model are implemented in their very basic settings. The portfolio loss distribution can be achieved either by simulation or analytically in case of the classic CreditRisk+ model. Models are only implemented to respect losses caused by defaults, i.e. migration risk is not included. The package structure is kept flexible especially with respect to distributional assumptions in order to quantify the sensitivity of risk figures with respect to several assumptions. Therefore the package can be used to determine the credit risk of a given portfolio as well as to quantify model sensitivities.
This package implements the Power / Trend / Seasonal (PTS) model, a unified state-space framework based on the Multiple Source of Error (MSOE) model. It brings the trend, seasonal and irregular component models of Harvey (1989) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781107049994>, Durbin and Koopman (2012) <doi:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199641178.001.0001>, Proietti (2000) <doi:10.1016/S0169-2070(00)00037-6>, Sbrana and Silvestrini (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2022.03.003> and others together under a single estimation, selection and forecasting interface, with an optional Box-Cox power transformation. Models are estimated by maximum likelihood through the Kalman filter and smoother, with automatic component selection by information criteria.
Recursive construction of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs), their successive generations, resolvable BIBDs (RBIBDs) and associated uniform designs (UDs), derived from finite projective geometries PG(m, p) over a Galois field GF(p) of any prime order p.
