Estimates marginal likelihood from a posterior sample using the method described in Wang et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syad007>, which does not require evaluation of any additional points and requires only the log of the unnormalized posterior density for each sampled parameter vector.

Simplex optimization algorithms as firstly proposed by Spendley et al. (1962) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1962.10490033> and later modified by Nelder and Mead (1965) <doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308> for laboratory and manufacturing processes. The package also provides tools for graphical representation of the simplexes and some example response surfaces that are useful in illustrating the optimization process.

This package provides tools to decompose differences in cohort health expectancy (HE) by age and cause using longitudinal data. The package implements a novel longitudinal attribution method based on a semiparametric additive hazards model with time-dependent covariates, specifically designed to address interval censoring and semi-competing risks via a copula framework. The resulting age-cause-specific contributions to disability prevalence and death probability can be used to quantify and decompose differences in cohort HE between groups. The package supports stepwise replacement decomposition algorithms and is applicable to cohort-based health disparity research across diverse populations. Related methods include Sun et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221133552>.

This package provides tools to authenticate with LOBSTER (Limit Order Book System - The Efficient Reconstruction, <https://app.lobsterdata.com/>), request, download, and process high-frequency limit order book data. Streamlines the end-to-end workflow from data request to analysis-ready datasets. For advanced high-frequency econometric analysis, see the highfrequency package.

Managing and exploring parameter estimation results derived from Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) using the likelihood package. It provides functions for organizing, visualizing, and summarizing MLE outcomes, streamlining statistical analysis workflows. By improving interpretation and facilitating model evaluation, it helps users gain deeper insights into parameter estimation and model fitting, making MLE result exploration more efficient and accessible. See Goffe et al. (1994) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(94)90038-8> for details on MLE, and Canham and Uriarte (2006) <doi:10.1890/04-0657> for application of MLE using likelihood'.

When building complex models, it is often difficult to explain why the model should be trusted. While global measures such as accuracy are useful, they cannot be used for explaining why a model made a specific prediction. lime (a port of the lime Python package) is a method for explaining the outcome of black box models by fitting a local model around the point in question an perturbations of this point. The approach is described in more detail in the article by Ribeiro et al. (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.04938>.

This package provides a toolbox for R arrays. Flexibly split, bind, reshape, modify, subset and name arrays.

This package provides a word embeddings-based semi-supervised model for document scaling Watanabe (2020) <doi:10.1080/19312458.2020.1832976>.

Allows the simultaneous analysis of responses and response times in an Item Response Theory (IRT) modelling framework. Supports variable person speed functions (intercept, trend, quadratic), and covariates for item and person (random) parameters. Data missing-by-design can be specified. Parameter estimation is done with a MCMC algorithm. LNIRT replaces the package CIRT, which was written by Rinke Klein Entink.

Data sets on various litter types like beach litter, riverain litter, floating litter, and seafloor litter are rapidly growing. This package offers a simple user interface to analyse these litter data in a consistent and reproducible way. It also provides functions to facilitate several kinds of litter analysis, e.g., trend analysis, power analysis, and baseline analysis. Under the hood, these functions are also used by the user interface. See Schulz et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.envpol.2019.02.030> for details. MS-Windows users are advised to run litteR in RStudio'. See our vignette: Installation manual for RStudio and litteR'.

Simulate expected equilibrium length composition, yield-per-recruit, and the spawning potential ratio (SPR) using the length-based SPR (LBSPR) model. Fit the LBSPR model to length data to estimate selectivity, relative apical fishing mortality, and the spawning potential ratio for data-limited fisheries. See Hordyk et al (2016) <doi:10.1139/cjfas-2015-0422> for more information about the LBSPR assessment method.
