Stat. 16:1141-1154, and Fine JP and Gray RJ (1999), A proportional hazards model for the subdistribution of a competing risk, JASA, 94:496-509.

This package provides infrastructure for the management of survey data including value labels, definable missing values, recoding of variables, production of code books, and import of (subsets of) SPSS and Stata files is provided. Further, the package produces tables and data frames of arbitrary descriptive statistics and (almost) publication-ready tables of regression model estimates, which can be exported to LaTeX and HTML.

This package provides tools to get text from images of text using Abbyy Cloud Optical Character Recognition (OCR) API. With abbyyyR, one can easily OCR images, barcodes, forms, documents with machine readable zones, e.g. passports and get the results in a variety of formats including plain text and XML. To learn more about the Abbyy OCR API, see http://ocrsdk.com/.

uom (Units of measurement) is a crate that does automatic type-safe zero-cost dimensional analysis. You can create your own systems or use the pre-built International System of Units (SI) which is based on the International System of Quantities (ISQ) and includes numerous quantities (length, mass, time, ...) with conversion factors for even more numerous measurement units (meter, kilometer, foot, mile, ...).

Quantile regression with fixed effects solves longitudinal data, considering the individual intercepts as fixed effects. The parametric set of this type of problem used to be huge. Thus penalized methods such as Lasso are currently applied. Adaptive Lasso presents oracle proprieties, which include Gaussianity and correct model selection. Bayesian information criteria (BIC) estimates the optimal tuning parameter lambda. Plot tools are also available.

This package performs brace expansions on strings. Made popular by Unix shells, brace expansion allows users to concisely generate certain character vectors by taking a single string and (recursively) expanding the comma-separated lists and double-period-separated integer and character sequences enclosed within braces in that string. The double-period-separated numeric integer expansion also supports padding the resulting numbers with zeros.
