Estimates the density of a spatially distributed animal population sampled with an array of passive detectors, such as traps. Models incorporating distance-dependent detection are fitted by simulation and inverse prediction as proposed by Efford (2004) <doi:10.1111/j.0030-1299.2004.13043.x>.

Implementing the interventional effects for mediation analysis for up to 3 mediators. The methods used are based on VanderWeele, Vansteelandt and Robins (2014) <doi:10.1097/ede.0000000000000034>, Vansteelandt and Daniel (2017) <doi:10.1097/ede.0000000000000596> and Chan and Leung (2020; unpublished manuscript, available on request from the author of this package). Linear regression, logistic regression and Poisson regression are used for continuous, binary and count mediator/outcome variables respectively.

This package implements various novel and standard clustering statistics and other analyses useful for understanding the spread of infectious disease.

The Integro-Difference Equation model is a linear, dynamical model used to model phenomena that evolve in space and in time; see, for example, Cressie and Wikle (2011, ISBN:978-0-471-69274-4) or Dewar et al. (2009) <doi:10.1109/TSP.2008.2005091>. At the heart of the model is the kernel, which dictates how the process evolves from one time point to the next. Both process and parameter reduction are used to facilitate computation, and spatially-varying kernels are allowed. Data used to estimate the parameters are assumed to be readings of the process corrupted by Gaussian measurement error. Parameters are fitted by maximum likelihood, and estimation is carried out using an evolution algorithm.

Implementation of analytical and sampling-based power analyses for the Wald, likelihood ratio (LR), score, and gradient tests. Can be applied to item response theory (IRT) models that are fitted using marginal maximum likelihood estimation. The methods are described in our paper (Zimmer et al. (2022) <doi:10.1007/s11336-022-09883-5>).

Chi-square tests are computed with corrections.

Computes the InterModel Vigorish ('IMV'), a metric for comparing the predictive accuracy of two models for binary outcomes. The IMV is derived from the expected value of a bettor using one model's predicted probabilities against those of a competing model, and is estimated via k-fold cross-validation. Methods are provided for generalized linear models, mixed-effects models ('lme4'), and item response theory models ('mirt'). See <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0316491>.

Item response theory (IRT) parameter estimation using marginal maximum likelihood and expectation-maximization algorithm (Bock \& Aitkin, 1981 <doi:10.1007/BF02293801>). Within parameter estimation algorithm, several methods for latent distribution estimation are available. Reflecting some features of the true latent distribution, these latent distribution estimation methods can possibly enhance the estimation accuracy and free the normality assumption on the latent distribution.

Facilitates spatial and general latent Gaussian modeling using integrated nested Laplace approximation via the INLA package (<https://www.r-inla.org>). Additionally, extends the GAM-like model class to more general nonlinear predictor expressions, and implements a log Gaussian Cox process likelihood for modeling univariate and spatial point processes based on ecological survey data. Model components are specified with general inputs and mapping methods to the latent variables, and the predictors are specified via general R expressions, with separate expressions for each observation likelihood model in multi-likelihood models. A prediction method based on fast Monte Carlo sampling allows posterior prediction of general expressions of the latent variables.

This package performs exploratory data analysis and variable screening for binary classification models using weight-of-evidence (WOE) and information value (IV). In order to make the package as efficient as possible, aggregations are done in data.table and creation of WOE vectors can be distributed across multiple cores. The package also supports exploration for uplift models (NWOE and NIV).

With the package, user can also find tools to simulate random deviates from zero inflated or hurdle models and obtain maximum likelihood estimate of unknown parameters in these models.

Independent vector analysis (IVA) is a blind source separation (BSS) model where several datasets are jointly unmixed. This package provides several methods for the unmixing together with some performance measures. For details, see Anderson et al. (2011) <doi:10.1109/TSP.2011.2181836> and Lee et al.

This package performs iterative proportional updating given a seed table and an arbitrary number of marginal distributions. This is commonly used in population synthesis, survey raking, matrix rebalancing, and other applications. For example, a household survey may be weighted to match the known distribution of households by size from the census. An origin/ destination trip matrix might be balanced to match traffic counts. The approach used by this package is based on a paper from Arizona State University (Ye, Xin, et. al. (2009) <http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.537.723&rep=rep1&type=pdf>). Some enhancements have been made to their work including primary and secondary target balance/importance, general marginal agreement, and weight restriction.
