An EM algorithm, Karl et al. (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2012.10.004>, is used to estimate the generalized, variable, and complete persistence models, Mariano et al. (2010) <doi:10.3102/1076998609346967>. These are multiple-membership linear mixed models with teachers modeled as "G-side" effects and students modeled with either "G-side" or "R-side" effects.

This package provides tools for fitting statistical network models to dynamic network data. Can be used for fitting both dynamic network actor models ('DyNAMs') and relational event models ('REMs').

An update to the Joint Location-Scale (JLS) testing framework that identifies associated SNPs, gene-sets and pathways with main and/or interaction effects on quantitative traits (Soave et al., 2015; <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2015.05.015>). The JLS method simultaneously tests the null hypothesis of equal mean and equal variance across genotypes, by aggregating association evidence from the individual location/mean-only and scale/variance-only tests using Fisher's method. The generalized joint location-scale (gJLS) framework has been developed to deal specifically with sample correlation and group uncertainty (Soave and Sun, 2017; <doi:10.1111/biom.12651>). The current release: gJLS2, include additional functionalities that enable analyses of X-chromosome genotype data through novel methods for location (Chen et al., 2021; <doi:10.1002/gepi.22422>) and scale (Deng et al., 2019; <doi:10.1002/gepi.22247>).

The getDTeval() function facilitates the translation of the original coding statement to an optimized form for improved runtime efficiency without compromising on the programmatic coding design. The function can either provide a translation of the coding statement, directly evaluate the translation to return a coding result, or provide both of these outputs.

Gaussian processes are flexible distributions to model functional data. Whilst theoretically appealing, they are computationally cumbersome except for small datasets. This package implements two methods for scaling Gaussian process inference in Stan'. First, a sparse approximation of the likelihood that is generally applicable and, second, an exact method for regularly spaced data modeled by stationary kernels using fast Fourier methods. Utility functions are provided to compile and fit Stan models using the cmdstanr interface. References: Hoffmann and Onnela (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v112.i02>.

We implemented multiple tests based on the restricted mean survival time (RMST) for general factorial designs as described in Munko et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/sim.10017>. Therefore, an asymptotic test, a groupwise bootstrap test, and a permutation test are incorporated with a Wald-type test statistic. The asymptotic and groupwise bootstrap test take the asymptotic exact dependence structure of the test statistics into account to gain more power. Furthermore, confidence intervals for RMST contrasts can be calculated and plotted and a stepwise extension that can improve the power of the multiple tests is available.

Spline regression, generalized additive models and component-wise gradient boosting utilizing geometrically designed (GeD) splines. GeDS regression is a non-parametric method inspired by geometric principles, for fitting spline regression models with variable knots in one or two independent variables. It efficiently estimates the number of knots and their positions, as well as the spline order, assuming the response variable follows a distribution from the exponential family. GeDS models integrate the broader category of generalized (non-)linear models, offering a flexible approach to model complex relationships. A description of the method can be found in Kaishev et al. (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00180-015-0621-7> and Dimitrova et al. (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.amc.2022.127493>. Further extending its capabilities, GeDS's implementation includes generalized additive models (GAM) and functional gradient boosting (FGB), enabling versatile multivariate predictor modeling, as discussed in the forthcoming work of Dimitrova et al. (2025).

High performance trainers for parameterizing and clustering weighted data. The Gaussian mixture (GM) module includes the conventional EM (expectation maximization) trainer, the component-wise EM trainer, the minimum-message-length EM trainer by Figueiredo and Jain (2002) <doi:10.1109/34.990138>. These trainers accept additional constraints on mixture weights, covariance eigen ratios and on which mixture components are subject to update. The K-means (KM) module offers clustering with the options of (i) deterministic and stochastic K-means++ initializations, (ii) upper bounds on cluster weights (sizes), (iii) Minkowski distances, (iv) cosine dissimilarity, (v) dense and sparse representation of data input. The package improved the typical implementations of GM and KM algorithms in various aspects. It is carefully crafted in multithreaded C++ for modeling large data for industry use.

Implement group response-adaptive randomization procedures, which also integrates standard non-group response-adaptive randomization methods as specialized instances. It is also uniquely capable of managing complex scenarios, including those with delayed and missing responses, thereby expanding its utility in real-world applications. This package offers 16 functions for simulating a variety of response adaptive randomization procedures. These functions are essential for guiding the selection of statistical methods in clinical trials, providing a flexible and effective approach to trial design.

Draw posterior samples to estimate the precision matrix for multivariate Gaussian data. Posterior means of the samples is the graphical horseshoe estimate by Li, Bhadra and Craig(2017) <arXiv:1707.06661>. The function uses matrix decomposition and variable change from the Bayesian graphical lasso by Wang(2012) <doi:10.1214/12-BA729>, and the variable augmentation for sampling under the horseshoe prior by Makalic and Schmidt(2016) <arXiv:1508.03884>. Structure of the graphical horseshoe function was inspired by the Bayesian graphical lasso function using blocked sampling, authored by Wang(2012) <doi:10.1214/12-BA729>.

Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a stratified sampling method known for its efficiency compared to Simple Random Sampling (SRS). When sample allocation is equal across strata, it is referred to as balanced RSS (BRSS) whereas unequal allocation is called unbalanced RSS (URSS), which is particularly effective for asymmetric or skewed distributions. This package offers practical statistical tools and sampling methods for both BRSS and URSS, emphasizing flexible sampling designs and inference for population means, medians, proportions, and Area Under the Curve (AUC). It incorporates parametric and nonparametric tests, including empirical likelihood ratio (LR) methods. The package provides ranked set sampling methods from a given population, including sampling with imperfect ranking using auxiliary variables. Furthermore, it provides tools for efficient sample allocation in URSS, ensuring greater efficiency than SRS and BRSS. For more details, refer e.g. to Chen et al. (2003) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-21664-5>, Ahn et al. (2022) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-14525-4_3>, and Ahn et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/insr.12589>.

We implement various classical tests for the composite hypothesis of testing the fit to the family of gamma distributions as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Cramer-von Mises test, the Anderson Darling test and the Watson test. For each test a parametric bootstrap procedure is implemented, as considered in Henze, Meintanis & Ebner (2012) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2010.542851>.

It estimates the parameters of latent class prevalence and item response probability in LCA with a single line comment. It also provides graphs of item response probabilities. In addition, the package enables to estimate the relationship between the prevalence and covariates.
