This package implements methods developed by Ding, Feller, and Miratrix (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12124> <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1412.5000>, and Ding, Feller, and Miratrix (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1407322> <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1605.06566> for testing whether there is unexplained variation in treatment effects across observations, and for characterizing the extent of the explained and unexplained variation in treatment effects. The package includes wrapper functions implementing the proposed methods, as well as helper functions for analyzing and visualizing the results of the test.

An RStudio Addin for Hippie Expand (AKA Hippie Code Completion or Cyclic Expand Word). This type of completion searches for matching tokens within the user's current source editor file, regardless of file type. By searching only within the current source file, hippie offers a fast way to identify and insert completions that appear around the user's cursor.

State-of-the-art Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimiser (MOPSO), based on the algorithm developed by Lin et al. (2018) <doi:10.1109/TEVC.2016.2631279> with improvements described by Marinao-Rivas & Zambrano-Bigiarini (2020) <doi:10.1109/LA-CCI48322.2021.9769844>. This package is inspired by and closely follows the philosophy of the single objective hydroPSO R package ((Zambrano-Bigiarini & Rojas, 2013) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2013.01.004>), and can be used for global optimisation of non-smooth and non-linear R functions and R-base models (e.g., TUWmodel', GR4J', GR6J'). However, the main focus of hydroMOPSO is optimising environmental and other real-world models that need to be run from the system console (e.g., SWAT+'). hydroMOPSO communicates with the model to be optimised through its input and output files, without requiring modifying its source code. Thanks to its flexible design and the availability of several fine-tuning options, hydroMOPSO can tackle a wide range of multi-objective optimisation problems (e.g., multi-objective functions, multiple model variables, multiple periods). Finally, hydroMOPSO is designed to run on multi-core machines or network clusters, to alleviate the computational burden of complex models with long execution time.

Efficient tools for parsing and standardizing Australian addresses from textual data. It utilizes optimized algorithms to accurately identify and extract components of addresses, such as street names, types, and postcodes, especially for large batched data in contexts where sending addresses to internet services may be slow or inappropriate. The core functionality is built on fast string processing techniques to handle variations in address formats and abbreviations commonly found in Australian address data. Designed for data scientists, urban planners, and logistics analysts, the package facilitates the cleaning and normalization of address information, supporting better data integration and analysis in urban studies, geography, and related fields.

This package provides an example HiC dataset and two examples of HiCociety outputs from a function named hic2community(). The data are intended for demonstration purposes only and kept small enough to be distributed via CRAN.

This package provides a method for estimating the correlation matrix of the Gaussian copula from the observed data. This package also contains a penalized estimation of the corresponding precision matrix, and enables to generate random vectors that are distributed according to a Gaussian copula.

Distribution free heteroscedastic tests for functional data. The following tests are included in this package: test of no main treatment or contrast effect and no simple treatment effect given in Wang, Higgins, and Blasi (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2009.11.016>, no main time effect, and no interaction effect based on original observations given in Wang and Akritas (2010a) <doi:10.1080/10485250903171621> and tests based on ranks given in Wang and Akritas (2010b) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2010.03.012>.

This package provides a program that conducts group variable selection for quantile and robust mean regression (Sherwood and Li, 2022). The group lasso penalty (Yuan and Lin, 2006) is used for group-wise variable selection. Both of the quantile and mean regression models are based on the Huber loss. Specifically, with the tuning parameter in the Huber loss approaching to 0, the quantile check function can be approximated by the Huber loss for the median and the tilted version of Huber loss at other quantiles. Such approximation provides computational efficiency and stability, and has also been shown to be statistical consistent.

Programmatic interface to the Harmonized World Soil Database HWSD web services (<https://daac.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/dsviewer.pl?ds_id=1247>). Allows for easy downloads of HWSD soil data directly to your R workspace or your computer. Routines for both single pixel data downloads and gridded data are provided.

An implementation of an algorithm for outlier detection that can handle a) data with a mixed categorical and continuous variables, b) many columns of data, c) many rows of data, d) outliers that mask other outliers, and e) both unidimensional and multidimensional datasets. Unlike ad hoc methods found in many machine learning papers, HDoutliers is based on a distributional model that uses probabilities to determine outliers.

This package performs iterative extrapolation of species haplotype accumulation curves using a nonparametric stochastic (Monte Carlo) optimization method for assessment of specimen sampling completeness based on the approach of Phillips et al. (2015) <doi:10.1515/dna-2015-0008>, Phillips et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ece3.4757> and Phillips et al. (2020) <doi: 10.7717/peerj-cs.243>. HACSim outputs a number of useful summary statistics of sampling coverage ("Measures of Sampling Closeness"), including an estimate of the likely required sample size (along with desired level confidence intervals) necessary to recover a given number/proportion of observed unique species haplotypes. Any genomic marker can be targeted to assess likely required specimen sample sizes for genetic diversity assessment. The method is particularly well-suited to assess sampling sufficiency for DNA barcoding initiatives. Users can also simulate their own DNA sequences according to various models of nucleotide substitution. A Shiny app is also available.

This package provides a function to assess and test for heterogeneity in the utility of a surrogate marker with respect to a baseline covariate. The main function can be used for either a continuous or discrete baseline covariate. More details will be available in the future in: Parast, L., Cai, T., Tian L (2021). "Testing for Heterogeneity in the Utility of a Surrogate Marker." Biometrics, In press.

Also implements an algorithm for calculating the thermodynamic (and psychrometric) wet-bulb (and ice-bulb) temperature.

This package provides methods for correcting heaping (digit preference) in survey data at the individual record level. Age heaping, where respondents disproportionately report ages ending in 0 or 5, is a common phenomenon that can distort demographic analyses. Unlike traditional smoothing methods that only correct aggregated statistics, this package corrects individual values by replacing a calculated proportion of heaped observations with draws from fitted truncated distributions (log-normal, normal, or uniform). Supports 5-year and 10-year heaping patterns, single heap correction, and optional model-based adjustment to preserve covariate relationships.

Implementation of the Hysteretic and Gatekeeping Depressions Model (HGDM) which calculates variable connected/contributing areas and resulting discharge volumes in prairie basins dominated by depressions ("slough" or "potholes"). The small depressions are combined into a single "meta" depression which explicitly models the hysteresis between the storage of water and the connected/contributing areas of the depressions. The largest (greater than 5% of the total depressional area) depression (if it exists) is represented separately to model its gatekeeping, i.e. the blocking of upstream flows until it is filled. The methodolgy is described in detail in Shook and Pomeroy (2025, <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2025.132821>).
