This package implements methods for multiple change point detection in multivariate time series with non-stationary dynamics and cross-correlations. The methodology is based on a model in which each component has a fluctuating mean represented by a random walk with occasional abrupt shifts, combined with a stationary vector autoregressive structure to capture temporal and cross-sectional dependence. The framework is broadly applicable to correlated multivariate sequences in which large, sudden shifts occur in all or subsets of components and are the primary targets of interest, whereas small, smooth fluctuations are not. Although random walks are used as a modeling device, they provide a flexible approximation for a wide class of slowly varying or locally smooth dynamics, enabling robust performance beyond the strict random walk setting.

Statistical hypothesis testing methods for inferring model-free functional dependency using asymptotic chi-squared or exact distributions. Functional test statistics are asymmetric and functionally optimal, unique from other related statistics. Tests in this package reveal evidence for causality based on the causality-by- functionality principle. They include asymptotic functional chi-squared tests (Zhang & Song 2013) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1311.2707>, an adapted functional chi-squared test (Kumar & Song 2022) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btac206>, and an exact functional test (Zhong & Song 2019) <doi:10.1109/TCBB.2018.2809743> (Nguyen et al. 2020) <doi:10.24963/ijcai.2020/372>. The normalized functional chi-squared test was used by Best Performer NMSUSongLab in HPN-DREAM (DREAM8) Breast Cancer Network Inference Challenges (Hill et al. 2016) <doi:10.1038/nmeth.3773>. A function index (Zhong & Song 2019) <doi:10.1186/s12920-019-0565-9> (Kumar et al. 2018) <doi:10.1109/BIBM.2018.8621502> derived from the functional test statistic offers a new effect size measure for the strength of functional dependency, a better alternative to conditional entropy in many aspects. For continuous data, these tests offer an advantage over regression analysis when a parametric functional form cannot be assumed; for categorical data, they provide a novel means to assess directional dependency not possible with symmetrical Pearson's chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests.

This package provides optimized C++ code for computing the partial Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) test used in niche and species distribution modeling. The implementation follows Peterson et al. (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2007.11.008>. Parallelization via OpenMP was implemented with assistance from the DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Assistant (<https://www.deepseek.com/>).

Computes different multidimensional FD indices. Implements a distance-based framework to measure FD that allows any number and type of functional traits, and can also consider species relative abundances. Also contains other useful tools for functional ecology.

See <doi:10.18637/jss.v093.i05> for a detailed description of the package functionalities and its interplay with the MFPCA package for multivariate functional principal component analysis <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=MFPCA>.

Links datasets through fuzzy string matching using pretrained text embeddings. Produces more accurate record linkage when lexical string distance metrics are a poor guide to match quality (e.g., "Patricia" is more lexically similar to "Patrick" than it is to "Trish"). Capable of performing multilingual record linkage. Methods are described in Ornstein (2025) <doi:10.1017/pan.2025.10016>.

This is a fast and flexible implementation of the Kalman filter and smoother, which can deal with NAs. It is entirely written in C and relies fully on linear algebra subroutines contained in BLAS and LAPACK. Due to the speed of the filter, the fitting of high-dimensional linear state space models to large datasets becomes possible. This package also contains a plot function for the visualization of the state vector and graphical diagnostics of the residuals.

This package provides a small utility which wraps Rscript and provides access to all R functions from the shell.

Randomized and balanced allocation of units to treatment groups using the Finite Selection Model (FSM). The FSM was originally proposed and developed at the RAND corporation by Carl Morris to enhance the experimental design for the now famous Health Insurance Experiment. See Morris (1979) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(79)90053-8> for details on the original version of the FSM.

Given the values of sampled units and selection probabilities the desraj function in the package computes the estimated value of the total as well as estimated variance.

Aids in analysing data from a food frequency questionnaire known as the Harvard Service Food Frequency Questionnaire (HSFFQ). Functions from this package use answers from the HSFFQ to generate estimates of daily consumed micronutrients, calories, macronutrients on an individual level. The package also calculates food quotients on individual and group levels. Foodquotient calculation is an often tedious step in the calculation of total human energy expenditure (TEE) using the doubly labeled water method, which is the gold standard for measuring TEE.
