Creating, and refining data nuggets. Data nuggets reduce a large dataset into a small collection of nuggets of data, each containing a center (location), weight (importance), and scale (variability) parameter. Data nugget centers are created by choosing observations in the dataset which are as equally spaced apart as possible. Data nugget weights are created by counting the number observations closest to a given data nugget center. We then say the data nugget contains these observations and the data nugget center is recalculated as the mean of these observations. Data nugget scales are created by calculating the trace of the covariance matrix of the observations contained within a data nugget divided by the dimension of the dataset. Data nuggets are refined by splitting data nuggets which have scales or shapes (defined as the ratio of the two largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of the observations contained within the data nugget) Reference paper: [1] Beavers, T.

Algorithms implementing populations of agents that interact with one another and sense their environment may exhibit emergent behavior such as self-organization and swarm intelligence. Here, a swarm system called Databionic swarm (DBS) is introduced which was published in Thrun, M.C., Ultsch A.: "Swarm Intelligence for Self-Organized Clustering" (2020), Artificial Intelligence, <DOI:10.1016/j.artint.2020.103237>. DBS is able to adapt itself to structures of high-dimensional data such as natural clusters characterized by distance and/or density based structures in the data space. The first module is the parameter-free projection method called Pswarm (Pswarm()), which exploits the concepts of self-organization and emergence, game theory, swarm intelligence and symmetry considerations. The second module is the parameter-free high-dimensional data visualization technique, which generates projected points on the topographic map with hypsometric tints defined by the generalized U-matrix (GeneratePswarmVisualization()). The third module is the clustering method itself with non-critical parameters (DBSclustering()). Clustering can be verified by the visualization and vice versa. The term DBS refers to the method as a whole. It enables even a non-professional in the field of data mining to apply its algorithms for visualization and/or clustering to data sets with completely different structures drawn from diverse research fields. The comparison to common projection methods can be found in the book of Thrun, M.C.: "Projection Based Clustering through Self-Organization and Swarm Intelligence" (2018) <DOI:10.1007/978-3-658-20540-9>.

The desirable Dietary Pattern (DDP)/ PPH score measures the variety of food consumption. The (weighted) score is calculated based on the type of food. This package is intended to calculate the DDP/ PPH score that is faster than traditional method via a manual calculation by BKP (2017) <http://bkp.pertanian.go.id/storage/app/uploads/public/5bf/ca9/06b/5bfca906bc654274163456.pdf> and is simpler than the nutrition survey <http://www.nutrisurvey.de>. The database to create weights and baseline values is the Indonesia national survey in 2017.

This package performs the identification of differential risk hotspots (Briz-Redon et al. 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.aap.2019.105278> along a linear network. Given a marked point pattern lying on the linear network, the method implemented uses a network-constrained version of kernel density estimation (McSwiggan et al. 2017) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12255> to approximate the probability of occurrence across space for the type of event specified by the user through the marks of the pattern (Kelsall and Diggle 1995) <doi:10.2307/3318678>. The goal is to detect microzones of the linear network where the type of event indicated by the user is overrepresented.

Efficient estimation of Dynamic Factor Models using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm or Two-Step (2S) estimation, supporting datasets with missing data and mixed-frequency nowcasting applications. Factors follow a stationary VAR process of order p. Estimation options include: running the Kalman Filter and Smoother once with PCA initial values (2S) as in Doz, Giannone and Reichlin (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2011.02.012>; iterated Kalman Filtering and Smoothing until EM convergence as in Doz, Giannone and Reichlin (2012) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00225>; or the adapted EM algorithm of Banbura and Modugno (2014) <doi:10.1002/jae.2306>, allowing arbitrary missing-data patterns and monthly-quarterly mixed-frequency datasets. The implementation uses the Armadillo C++ library and the collapse package for fast estimation.

Information criteria to choose the number of factors are also provided, following Bai and Ng (2002) <doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00273>.

Several statistical methods for analyzing survival data under various forms of dependent censoring are implemented in the package. In addition to accounting for dependent censoring, it offers tools to adjust for unmeasured confounding factors. The implemented approaches allow users to estimate the dependency between survival time and dependent censoring time, based solely on observed survival data.
