This package provides simplified access to selected Brazilian macroeconomic and financial time series from official sources, primarily the Central Bank of Brazil through the SGS (Sistema Gerenciador de Séries Temporais) API. The package enables users to quickly retrieve and visualize indicators such as the unemployment rate and the Selic interest rate using a standardized data structure. It is designed for data access and visualization purposes, without performing forecasts or statistical modeling. For more information, see the official API: <https://dadosabertos.bcb.gov.br/dataset/>.

Design and analysis of one- and two-stage binomial clinical phase II trials using Bayes factors. Implements Bayes factors for point-null and directional hypotheses, predictive densities under different hypotheses, and power and sample size calibration. Both one-arm trials with only a single treatment arm and two-arm trials with treatment and control arm are implemented for the one- and two-stage designs.

Generating population projections for all countries of the world using several probabilistic components, such as total fertility rate, life expectancy at birth and net migration (Raftery et al., 2012 <doi:10.1073/pnas.1211452109>). The package can be also used for subnational population projections.

This package provides functions to find edges for bibliometric networks like bibliographic coupling network, co-citation network and co-authorship network. The weights of network edges can be calculated according to different methods, depending on the type of networks, the type of nodes, and what you want to analyse. These functions are optimized to be be used on large dataset. The package contains functions inspired by: Leydesdorff, Loet and Park, Han Woo (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2016.11.007>; Perianes-Rodriguez, Antonio, Ludo Waltman, and Nees Jan Van Eck (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2016.10.006>; Sen, Subir K. and Shymal K. Gan (1983) <http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/28008>; Shen, Si, Zhu, Danhao, Rousseau, Ronald, Su, Xinning and Wang, Dongbo (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2019.01.012>; Zhao, Dangzhi and Strotmann, Andreas (2008) <doi:10.1002/meet.2008.1450450292>.

See Cremers, Mulder & Klugkist (2018) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12108> and Nuñez-Antonio & Guttiérez-Peña (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2012.07.025>.

Bayesian optimal design with futility and efficacy stopping boundaries (BOP2-FE) is a novel statistical framework for single-arm Phase II clinical trials. It enables early termination for efficacy when interim data are promising, while explicitly controlling Type I and Type II error rates. The design supports a variety of endpoint structures, including single binary endpoints, nested endpoints, co-primary endpoints, and joint monitoring of efficacy and toxicity. The package provides tools for enumerating stopping boundaries prior to trial initiation and for conducting simulation studies to evaluate the designâ s operating characteristics. Users can flexibly specify design parameters to suit their specific applications. For methodological details, refer to Xu et al. (2025) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2025.2558142>.

This package provides functions to prepare tidy objects from estimated models via BVAR (see Kuschnig & Vashold, 2019 <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.25541.60643>) and visualisation thereof. Bridges the gap between estimating models with BVAR and plotting the results in a more sophisticated way with ggplot2 as well as passing them on in a tidy format.

Business days calculations based on a list of holidays and nonworking weekdays. Quite useful for fixed income and derivatives pricing.

Following Arroyo-Maté-Roque (2006), the function calculates the distance between rows or columns of the dataset using the generalized Minkowski metric as described by Ichino-Yaguchi (1994). The distance measure gives more weight to differences between quartiles than to differences between extremes, making it less sensitive to outliers. Further,the function calculates the silhouette width (Rousseeuw 1987) for different numbers of clusters and selects the number of clusters that maximizes the average silhouette width, unless a specific number of clusters is provided by the user. The approach implemented in this package is based on the following publications: Rousseeuw (1987) <doi:10.1016/0377-0427(87)90125-7>; Ichino-Yaguchi (1994) <doi:10.1109/21.286391>; Arroyo-Maté-Roque (2006) <doi:10.1007/3-540-34416-0_7>.

Inflammation can affect many micronutrient biomarkers and can thus lead to incorrect diagnosis of individuals and to over- or under-estimate the prevalence of deficiency in a population. Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) is a multi-agency and multi-country partnership designed to improve the interpretation of nutrient biomarkers in settings of inflammation and to generate context-specific estimates of risk factors for anemia (Suchdev (2016) <doi:10.3945/an.115.010215>). In the past few years, BRINDA published a series of papers to provide guidance on how to adjust micronutrient biomarkers, retinol binding protein, serum retinol, serum ferritin by Namaste (2020), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum zinc, serum and Red Blood Cell (RBC) folate, and serum B-12, using inflammation markers, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and/or C-Reactive Protein (CRP) by Namaste (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqaa141>, Rohner (2017) <doi:10.3945/ajcn.116.142232>, McDonald (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz304>, and Young (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz303>. The BRINDA inflammation adjustment method mainly focuses on Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) and Preschool-age Children (PSC); however, the general principle of the BRINDA method might apply to other population groups. The BRINDA R package is a user-friendly all-in-one R package that uses a series of functions to implement BRINDA adjustment method, as described above. The BRINDA R package will first carry out rigorous checks and provides users guidance to correct data or input errors (if they occur) prior to inflammation adjustments. After no errors are detected, the package implements the BRINDA inflammation adjustment for up to five micronutrient biomarkers, namely retinol-binding-protein, serum retinol, serum ferritin, sTfR, and serum zinc (when appropriate), using inflammation indicators of AGP and/or CRP for various population groups. Of note, adjustment for serum and RBC folate and serum B-12 is not included in the R package, since evidence shows that no adjustment is needed for these micronutrient biomarkers in either WRA or PSC groups (Young (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz303>).

Propagate uncertainty from several estimates when combining these estimates via a function. This is done by using the parametric bootstrap to simulate values from the distribution of each estimate to build up an empirical distribution of the combined parameter. Finally either the percentile method is used or the highest density interval is chosen to derive a confidence interval for the combined parameter with the desired coverage. Gaussian copulas are used for when parameters are assumed to be dependent / correlated. References: Davison and Hinkley (1997,ISBN:0-521-57471-4) for the parametric bootstrap and percentile method, Gelman et al. (2014,ISBN:978-1-4398-4095-5) for the highest density interval, Stockdale et al. (2020)<doi:10.1016/j.jhep.2020.04.008> for an example of combining conditional prevalences.

Estimates group-level means and standard deviations from binned (coarsened) count data, where the within-bin scores are unobserved. The package implements three methods that share a common output structure: bin_means() (a fast estimator that assumes within-district normality and uses pooled bin proportions to derive bin-conditional truncated-normal expectations), mle_hetop() (maximum likelihood for the heteroskedastic ordered probit model of Reardon, Shear, Castellano and Ho 2017 <doi:10.3102/1076998616666279>), and fh_hetop() (the Bayesian Fay-Herriot variant of Lockwood, Castellano and Shear 2018 <doi:10.3102/1076998618795124>). The mle_hetop() and fh_hetop() functions are forked from the HETOP package by J. R. Lockwood ('CRAN', last released 2019). mle_hetop() has been modified to speed up the runtime via a vectorized inner loop and to remove two user-facing arguments (fixedcuts and svals) that some users found confusing; cutpoints and starting values are now derived internally from the data.

Compute bounds for the treatment effect after adjusting for the presence of omitted variables in linear econometric models, according to the method of Basu (2022) <arXiv:2203.12431>. You supply the data, identify the outcome and treatment variables and additional regressors. The main functions will compute bounds for the bias-adjusted treatment effect. Many plot functions allow easy visualization of results.
