The functions are designed to find the efficient mean-variance frontier or portfolio weights for static portfolio (called Markowitz portfolio) analysis in resource economics or nature conservation. Using the nonlinear programming solver ('Rsolnp'), this package deals with the quadratic minimization of the variance-covariances without shorting (i.e., non-negative portfolio weights) studied in Ando and Mallory (2012) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1114653109>. See the examples, testing versions, and more details from: <https://github.com/ysd2004/portn>.
This is a core implementation of SAS procedures for linear models - GLM, REG, ANOVA, TTEST, FREQ, and UNIVARIATE. Some R packages provide type II and type III SS. However, the results of nested and complex designs are often different from those of SAS. Different results does not necessarily mean incorrectness. However, many wants the same results to SAS. This package aims to achieve that. Reference: Littell RC, Stroup WW, Freund RJ (2002, ISBN:0-471-22174-0).
Programs for analyzing large-scale time series data. They include functions for automatic specification and estimation of univariate time series, for clustering time series, for multivariate outlier detections, for quantile plotting of many time series, for dynamic factor models and for creating input data for deep learning programs. Examples of using the package can be found in the Wiley book Statistical Learning with Big Dependent Data by Daniel Peña and Ruey S. Tsay (2021). ISBN 9781119417385.
Simple tabulation should be dead simple. This package is an opinionated approach to easy tabulations while also providing exact numbers and allowing for re-usability. This is achieved by providing tabulations as data.frames with columns for values, optional variable names, frequency counts including and excluding NAs and percentages for counts including and excluding NAs. Also values are automatically sorted by in decreasing order of frequency counts to allow for fast skimming of the most important information.
R implementation of the software tools developed in the H-CUP (Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project) <https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov> and AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) <https://www.ahrq.gov>. It currently contains functions for mapping ICD-9 codes to the AHRQ comorbidity measures and translating ICD-9 (resp. ICD-10) codes to ICD-10 (resp. ICD-9) codes based on GEM (General Equivalence Mappings) from CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services).
The package aims to identify miRNA sponge or ceRNA modules in heterogeneous data. It provides several functions to study miRNA sponge modules at single-sample and multi-sample levels, including popular methods for inferring gene modules (candidate miRNA sponge or ceRNA modules), and two functions to identify miRNA sponge modules at single-sample and multi-sample levels, as well as several functions to conduct modular analysis of miRNA sponge modules.
This package provides qualitative methods for the validation of dynamic models. It contains
an orthogonal set of deviance measures for absolute, relative and ordinal scale and
approaches accounting for time shifts.
The first approach transforms time to take time delays and speed differences into account. The second divides the time series into interval units according to their main features and finds the longest common subsequence (LCS) using a dynamic programming algorithm.
This is a package supporting cluster analysis for cognitive diagnosis based on the Asymptotic Classification Theory (Chiu, Douglas & Li, 2009; doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9125-0). Given the sample statistic of sum-scores, cluster analysis techniques can be used to classify examinees into latent classes based on their attribute patterns. In addition to the algorithms used to classify data, three labeling approaches are proposed to label clusters so that examinees' attribute profiles can be obtained.
An implementation of the model in Steorts (2015) <DOI:10.1214/15-BA965SI>, which performs Bayesian entity resolution for categorical and text data, for any distance function defined by the user. In addition, the precision and recall are in the package to allow one to compare to any other comparable method such as logistic regression, Bayesian additive regression trees (BART), or random forests. The experiments are reproducible and illustrated using a simple vignette. LICENSE: GPL-3 + file license.
Fits generalised partial linear regression models using a Bayesian approach, where shape and smoothness constraints are imposed on nonparametrically modelled predictors through shape-restricted splines, and no constraints are imposed on optional parametrically modelled covariates. See Meyer et al. (2011) <doi/10.1080/10485252.2011.597852> for more details. IMPORTANT: before installing bcgam', you need to install Rtools (Windows) or Xcode (Mac OS X). These are required for the correct installation of nimble (<https://r-nimble.org/download>).
Estimates the Concordance Correlation Coefficient to assess agreement. The scenarios considered are non-repeated measures, non-longitudinal repeated measures (replicates) and longitudinal repeated measures. It also includes the estimation of the one-way intraclass correlation coefficient also known as reliability index. The estimation approaches implemented are variance components and U-statistics approaches. Description of methods can be found in Fleiss (1986) <doi:10.1002/9781118032923> and Carrasco et al. (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2012.09.002>.
Analysis of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) experiments using nonlinear mixed-effects regression models and analysis of the results. FRApp is not limited to the analysis of FRAP experiments only. Any nonlinear mixed-effects models with an asymptotic exponential functional relationship to hierarchical data in various domains can be fitted. The analysis of data available in the package is presented in Di Credico, G., Pelucchi, S., Pauli, F. et al. (2025) <doi:10.1038/s41598-025-87154-w>.

The age is estimated by calculating the Dirichlet Normal Energy (DNE) on the whole auricular surface and the apex of the auricular surface. It involves three estimation methods: principal component discriminant analysis (PCQDA), principal component regression analysis (PCR), and principal component logistic regression analysis (PCLR) methods. The package is created with the data from the Louis Lopes Collection in Lisbon, the 21st Century Identified Human Remains Collection in Coimbra, and the CAL Milano Cemetery Skeletal Collection in Milan.
This is a C++ mutual information (MI) library based on the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. There are three functions provided for computing MI for continuous values, mixed continuous and discrete values, and conditional MI for continuous values. They are based on algorithms by A.

We implement a surrogate modeling algorithm to guide simulation-based sample size planning. The method is described in detail in our paper (Zimmer & Debelak (2023) <doi:10.1037/met0000611>). It supports multiple study design parameters and optimization with respect to a cost function. It can find optimal designs that correspond to a desired statistical power or that fulfill a cost constraint. We also provide a tutorial paper (Zimmer et al. (2023) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02269-0>).

An n-gram is a sequence of n "words" taken, in order, from a body of text. This is a collection of utilities for creating, displaying, summarizing, and "babbling" n-grams. The tokenization and "babbling" are handled by very efficient C code, which can even be built as its own standalone library. The babbler is a simple Markov chain. The package also offers a vignette with complete example workflows and information about the utilities offered in the package.
In causal mediation analysis with multiple causally ordered mediators, a set of path-specific effects are identified under standard ignorability assumptions. This package implements an imputation approach to estimating these effects along with a set of bias formulas for conducting sensitivity analysis (Zhou and Yamamoto <doi:10.31235/osf.io/2rx6p>). It contains two main functions: paths() for estimating path-specific effects and sens() for conducting sensitivity analysis. Estimation uncertainty is quantified using the nonparametric bootstrap.
This package provides tools for penalised maximum likelihood estimation of hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) with flexible state dwell-time distributions. These include functions for model fitting, model checking and state-decoding. The package considers HSMMs for univariate time series with state-dependent gamma, normal, Poisson or Bernoulli distributions. For details, see Pohle, J., Adam, T. and Beumer, L.T. (2021): Flexible estimation of the state dwell-time distribution in hidden semi-Markov models. <arXiv:2101.09197>.

Highest posterior model is widely accepted as a good model among available models. In terms of variable selection highest posterior model is often the true model. Our stochastic search process SAHPM based on simulated annealing maximization method tries to find the highest posterior model by maximizing the model space with respect to the posterior probabilities of the models. This package currently contains the SAHPM method only for linear models. The codes for GLM will be added in future.
