Simulate complex data from a given directed acyclic graph and information about each individual node. Root nodes are simply sampled from the specified distribution. Child Nodes are simulated according to one of many implemented regressions, such as logistic regression, linear regression, poisson regression and more. Also includes a comprehensive framework for discrete-time simulation, which can generate even more complex longitudinal data.

This package implements several functions for the analysis of semantic networks including different network estimation algorithms, partial node bootstrapping (Kenett, Anaki, & Faust, 2014 <doi:10.3389/fnhum.2014.00407>), random walk simulation (Kenett & Austerweil, 2016 <http://alab.psych.wisc.edu/papers/files/Kenett16CreativityRW.pdf>), and a function to compute global network measures. Significance tests and plotting features are also implemented.

This package provides tools for analyzing tail dependence in any sample or in particular theoretical models. The package uses only theoretical and non parametric methods, without inference. The primary goals of the package are to provide: (a)symmetric multivariate extreme value models in any dimension; theoretical and empirical indices to order tail dependence; theoretical and empirical graphical methods to visualize tail dependence.

This package contain data sets and utilities from Project MOSAIC used to teach mathematics, statistics, computation and modeling. Project MOSAIC is a community of educators working to tie together aspects of quantitative work that students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics will need in their professional lives, but which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.

This package provides an implementation of an algorithm for general-purpose unconstrained non-linear optimization. The algorithm is of quasi-Newton type with BFGS updating of the inverse Hessian and soft line search with a trust region type monitoring of the input to the line search algorithm. The interface of ucminf is designed for easy interchange with the package optim.

The tictoc package provides the timing functions tic and toc that can be nested. It provides an alternative to system.time() with a different syntax similar to that in another well-known software package. tic and toc are easy to use, and are especially useful when timing several sections in more than a few lines of code.

The functions in this package compute robust estimators by minimizing a kernel-based distance known as MMD (Maximum Mean Discrepancy) between the sample and a statistical model. Recent works proved that these estimators enjoy a universal consistency property, and are extremely robust to outliers. Various optimization algorithms are implemented: stochastic gradient is available for most models, but the package also allows gradient descent in a few models for which an exact formula is available for the gradient. In terms of distribution fit, a large number of continuous and discrete distributions are available: Gaussian, exponential, uniform, gamma, Poisson, geometric, etc. In terms of regression, the models available are: linear, logistic, gamma, beta and Poisson.

This package implements two methods of estimating runs scored in a softball scenario: (1) theoretical expectation using discrete Markov chains and (2) empirical distribution using multinomial random simulation. Scores are based on player-specific input probabilities (out, single, double, triple, walk, and homerun). Optional inputs include probability of attempting a steal, probability of succeeding in an attempted steal, and an indicator of whether a player is "fast" (e.g. the player could stretch home). These probabilities may be calculated from common player statistics that are publicly available on team's webpages. Scores are evaluated based on a nine-player lineup and may be used to compare lineups, evaluate base scenarios, and compare the offensive potential of individual players. Manuscript forthcoming. See Bukiet & Harold (1997) <doi:10.1287/opre.45.1.14> for implementation of discrete Markov chains.

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.

Perform seasonal adjustment of weekly data. The package provides a user-friendly interface for computing seasonally adjusted estimates of weekly data and includes functions for the creation of country-specific prior adjustment variables, as well as diagnostic tools to assess the quality of the adjustments. The method is described in more detail in Ginker (2023) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.12221.44000>.

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.

Simulation of power of the above interval methods, approximate calculation of any-pair-power, and sample size iteration based on approximate any-pair power. Exact conditional maximum test for many-to-one comparisons to a control.
