As an advanced approach to computerized adaptive testing (CAT), shadow testing (van der Linden(2005) <doi:10.1007/0-387-29054-0>) dynamically assembles entire shadow tests as a part of selecting items throughout the testing process. Selecting items from shadow tests guarantees the compliance of all content constraints defined by the blueprint. RSCAT is an R package for the shadow-test approach to CAT. The objective of RSCAT is twofold: 1) Enhancing the effectiveness of shadow-test CAT simulation; 2) Contributing to the academic and scientific community for CAT research. RSCAT is currently designed for dichotomous items based on the three-parameter logistic (3PL) model.

This package provides a collection of functions to simulate dice rolls and the like. In particular, experiments and exercises can be performed looking at combinations and permutations of values in dice rolls and coin flips, together with the corresponding frequencies of occurrences. When applying each function, the user has to input the number of times (rolls, flips) to toss the dice. Needless to say, the more the tosses, the more the frequencies approximate the actual probabilities. Moreover, the package provides functions to generate non-transitive sets of dice (like Efron's) and to check whether a given set of dice is non-transitive with given probability.

This package provides a framework for estimating ensembles of parametric survival models with different parametric families. The RoBSA framework uses Bayesian model-averaging to combine the competing parametric survival models into a model ensemble, weights the posterior parameter distributions based on posterior model probabilities and uses Bayes factors to test for the presence or absence of the individual predictors or preference for a parametric family (BartoÅ¡, Aust & Haaf, 2022, <doi:10.1186/s12874-022-01676-9>). The user can define a wide range of informative priors for all parameters of interest. The package provides convenient functions for summary, visualizations, fit diagnostics, and prior distribution calibration.

The ASAFE package contains a collection of functions that can be used to carry out an EM (Expectation–maximization) algorithm to estimate ancestry-specific allele frequencies for a bi-allelic genetic marker, e.g. an SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) from genotypes and ancestry pairs.

The SciViews svGUI package eases the management of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) in R. It is independent from any particular GUI widgets. It centralizes info about GUI elements currently used, and it dispatches GUI calls to the particular toolkits in use in function of the context.
