This package provides an implementation of particle swarm optimisation consistent with the standard PSO 2007/2011 by Maurice Clerc. Additionally a number of ancillary routines are provided for easy testing and graphics.

This package provides convenience functions for user experience research with an emphasis on quantitative user experience testing and reporting. The functions are designed to translate statistical approaches to applied user experience research.

Search and download data from over 40 databases hosted by the World Bank, including the World Development Indicators ('WDI'), International Debt Statistics, Doing Business, Human Capital Index, and Sub-national Poverty indicators.

This package provides functions to generate response-surface designs, fit first- and second-order response-surface models, make surface plots, obtain the path of steepest ascent, and do canonical analysis. A good reference on these methods is Chapter 10 of Wu, C-F J and Hamada, M (2009) "Experiments: Planning, Analysis, and Parameter Design Optimization" ISBN 978-0-471-69946-0. An early version of the package is documented in Journal of Statistical Software <doi:10.18637/jss.v032.i07>.

Portfolio optimization is achieved through a combination of regularization techniques and ensemble methods that are designed to generate stable out-of-sample return predictions, particularly in the presence of strong correlations among assets. The package includes functions for data preparation, parallel processing, and portfolio analysis using methods such as Mean-Variance, James-Stein, LASSO, Ridge Regression, and Equal Weighting. It also provides visualization tools and performance metrics, such as the Sharpe ratio, volatility, and maximum drawdown, to assess the results.

This package implements the Bayesian paradigm for fractional polynomial models under the assumption of normally distributed error terms, see Sabanes Bove, D. and Held, L. (2011) <doi:10.1007/s11222-010-9170-7>.
