Interface to Eurostatâ s API (SDMX 2.1) with fast data.table-based import of data, labels, and metadata. On top of the core functionality, data search and data description/comparison functions are also provided. Use <https://github.com/alekrutkowski/eurodata_codegen> â a point-and-click app for rapid and easy generation of richly-commented R code â to import a Eurostat dataset or its subset (based on the eurodata::importData() function).

Fully robust versions of the elastic net estimator are introduced for linear and binary and multinomial regression, in particular high dimensional data. The algorithm searches for outlier free subsets on which the classical elastic net estimators can be applied. A reweighting step is added to improve the statistical efficiency of the proposed estimators. Selecting appropriate tuning parameters for elastic net penalties are done via cross-validation.

This package provides a framework to build and evaluate diagnosis or prognosis models using stacking, voting, and bagging ensemble techniques with various base learners. The package also includes tools for visualization and interpretation of models. The development version of the package is available on GitHub at <https://github.com/xiaojie0519/E2E>. The methods are based on the foundational work of Breiman (1996) <doi:10.1007/BF00058655> on bagging and Wolpert (1992) <doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1> on stacking.

Likelihood-based approaches to estimate linear regression parameters and treatment effects in the presence of endogeneity. Specifically, this package includes James Heckman's classical simultaneous equation models-the sample selection model for outcome selection bias and hybrid model with structural shift for endogenous treatment. For more information, see the seminal paper of Heckman (1978) <DOI:10.3386/w0177> in which the details of these models are provided. This package accommodates repeated measures on subjects with a working independence approach. The hybrid model further accommodates treatment effect modification.

Offers a flexible and user-friendly interface for visualizing conditional effects from a broad range of regression models, including mixed-effects and generalized additive (mixed) models. Compatible model types include lm(), rlm(), glm(), glm.nb(), and gam() (from mgcv'); nonlinear models via nls(); and generalized least squares via gls(). Mixed-effects models with random intercepts and/or slopes can be fitted using lmer(), glmer(), glmer.nb(), glmmTMB(), or gam() (from mgcv', via smooth terms). Plots are rendered using base R graphics with extensive customization options. Approximate confidence intervals for nls() models are computed using the delta method. Robust standard errors for rlm() are computed using the sandwich estimator (Zeileis 2004) <doi:10.18637/jss.v011.i10>. Methods for generalized additive models follow Wood (2017) <doi:10.1201/9781315370279>. For linear mixed-effects models with lme4', see Bates et al. (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i01>. For mixed models using glmmTMB', see Brooks et al. (2017) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2017-066>.

The remit of the European Clinical Trials Data Base (EudraCT <https://eudract.ema.europa.eu/> ), or ClinicalTrials.gov <https://clinicaltrials.gov/>, is to provide open access to summaries of all registered clinical trial results; thus aiming to prevent non-reporting of negative results and provide open-access to results to inform future research. The amount of information required and the format of the results, however, imposes a large extra workload at the end of studies on clinical trial units. In particular, the adverse-event-reporting component requires entering: each unique combination of treatment group and safety event; for every such event above, a further 4 pieces of information (body system, number of occurrences, number of subjects, number exposed) for non-serious events, plus an extra three pieces of data for serious adverse events (numbers of causally related events, deaths, causally related deaths). This package prepares the required statistics needed by EudraCT and formats them into the precise requirements to directly upload an XML file into the web portal, with no further data entry by hand.

An implementation of the quantitative ethnobotany indices in R. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use platform for ethnobotanists to assess the cultural significance of plant species based on informant consensus. The package closely follows the paper by Tardio and Pardo-de-Santayana (2008). Tardio, J., and M. Pardo-de-Santayana, 2008. Cultural Importance Indices: A Comparative Analysis Based on the Useful Wild Plants of Southern Cantabria (Northern Spain) 1. Economic Botany, 62(1), 24-39. <doi:10.1007/s12231-007-9004-5>.

In personalized medicine, one wants to know, for a given patient and his or her outcome for a predictor (pre-treatment variable), how likely it is that a treatment will be more beneficial than an alternative treatment. This package allows for the quantification of the predictive causal association (i.e., the association between the predictor variable and the individual causal effect of the treatment) and related metrics. Part of this software has been developed using funding provided from the European Union's 7th Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under Grant Agreement no 602552.

Please note: active development has moved to packages validate and errorlocate'. Facilitates reading and manipulating (multivariate) data restrictions (edit rules) on numerical and categorical data. Rules can be defined with common R syntax and parsed to an internal (matrix-like format). Rules can be manipulated with variable elimination and value substitution methods, allowing for feasibility checks and more. Data can be tested against the rules and erroneous fields can be found based on Fellegi and Holt's generalized principle. Rules dependencies can be visualized with using the igraph package.

This SVG elements generator can easily generate SVG elements such as rect, line, circle, ellipse, polygon, polyline, text and group. Also, it can combine and output SVG elements into a SVG file.

Collection of data sets from various assessments that can be used to evaluate psychometric models.

Analysis of temporal changes (i.e. dynamics) of ecological entities, defined as trajectories on a chosen multivariate space, by providing a set of trajectory metrics and visual representations [De Caceres et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ecm.1350>; and Sturbois et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109400>]. Includes functions to estimate metrics for individual trajectories (length, directionality, angles, ...) as well as metrics to relate pairs of trajectories (dissimilarity and convergence). Functions are also provided to estimate the ecological quality of ecosystem with respect to reference conditions [Sturbois et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.4726>].

This package provides statistical tests and graphics for assessing tests of equivalence. Such tests have similarity as the alternative hypothesis instead of the null. Sample data sets are included.

Extracting desired data using the proper Census variable names can be time-consuming. This package takes the pain out of that process by providing functions to quickly locate variables and download labeled tables from the Census APIs (<https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets.html>).

Model fitting and species biotic interaction network topology selection for explicit interaction community models. Explicit interaction community models are an extension of binomial linear models for joint modelling of species communities, that incorporate both the effects of species biotic interactions and the effects of missing covariates. Species interactions are modelled as direct effects of each species on each of the others, and are estimated alongside the effects of missing covariates, modelled as latent factors. The package includes a penalized maximum likelihood fitting function, and a genetic algorithm for selecting the most parsimonious species interaction network topology.

Training and prediction functions are provided for the Extreme Learning Machine algorithm (ELM). The ELM use a Single Hidden Layer Feedforward Neural Network (SLFN) with random generated weights and no gradient-based backpropagation. The training time is very short and the online version allows to update the model using small chunk of the training set at each iteration. The only parameter to tune is the hidden layer size and the learning function.

The cointegration based support vector regression model enables researchers to use data obtained from the cointegrating vector as input in the support vector regression model.

For multiscale analysis, this package carries out empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert spectral analysis. For usage of EMD, see Kim and Oh, 2009 (Kim, D and Oh, H.-S. (2009) EMD: A Package for Empirical Mode Decomposition and Hilbert Spectrum, The R Journal, 1, 40-46).

Interconverts between ordered lists and compact string notation. Useful for capturing code lists, and pair-wise codes and decodes, for text storage. Analogous to factor levels and labels. Generics encode() and decode() perform interconversion, while codes() and decodes() extract components of an encoding. The function encoded() checks whether something is interpretable as an encoding. If a vector has an encoded guide attribute, as_factor() uses it to coerce to factor.

Goodness-of-fit tests for discrete multivariate data. It is tested if a given observation is likely to have occurred under the assumption of an ab-initio model. Monte Carlo methods are provided to make the package capable of solving high-dimensional problems.
