With this package you can run ConMET locally in R. ConMET is an R-shiny application that facilitates performing and evaluating confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) and is useful for running and reporting typical measurement models in applied psychology and management journals. ConMET automatically creates, compares and summarizes CFA models. Most common fit indices (E.g., CFI and SRMR) are put in an overview table. ConMET also allows to test for common method variance. The application is particularly useful for teaching and instruction of measurement issues in survey research. The application uses the lavaan package (Rosseel, 2012) to run CFAs.

Define a spatial Area of Interest (AOI) around a constructed dam using hydrology data. Dams have environmental and social impacts, both positive and negative. Current analyses of dams have no consistent way to specify at what spatial extent we should evaluate these impacts. damAOI implements methods to adjust reservoir polygons to match satellite-observed surface water areas, plot upstream and downstream rivers using elevation data and accumulated river flow, and draw buffers clipped by river basins around reservoirs and relevant rivers. This helps to consistently determine the areas which could be impacted by dam construction, facilitating comparative analysis and informed infrastructure investments.

The D-score summarizes a child's performance on developmental milestones into a single number. Its key feature is its generic nature. The method does not depend on a specific measurement instrument. The statistical method underlying the D-score is described in van Buuren et al. (2025) <doi:10.1177/01650254241294033>. This package implements model keys to convert milestone scores to D-scores; maps instrument-specific item names to a generic 9-position naming convention; computes D-scores and their precision from a child's milestone scores; and converts D-scores to Development-for-Age Z-scores (DAZ) using age-conditional reference standards.

The Jalaali calendar, also known as the Persian or Solar Hijri calendar, is the official calendar of Iran and Afghanistan. It starts on Nowruz, the spring equinox, and follows an astronomical system for determining leap years. Each year consists of 365 or 366 days, divided into 12 months. This package provides functions for converting dates between the Jalaali and Gregorian calendars. The conversion calculations are based on the work of Kazimierz M. Borkowski (1996) (<doi:10.1007/BF00055188>), who used an analytical model of Earth's motion to compute equinoxes from AD 550 to 3800 and determine leap years based on Tehran time.

This package provides computational tools for nonlinear longitudinal models, in particular the intrinsically nonlinear models, in four scenarios: (1) univariate longitudinal processes with growth factors, with or without covariates including time-invariant covariates (TICs) and time-varying covariates (TVCs); (2) multivariate longitudinal processes that facilitate the assessment of correlation or causation between multiple longitudinal variables; (3) multiple-group models for scenarios (1) and (2) to evaluate differences among manifested groups, and (4) longitudinal mixture models for scenarios (1) and (2), with an assumption that trajectories are from multiple latent classes. The methods implemented are introduced in Jin Liu (2023) <arXiv:2302.03237v2>.

Such methods, developed within a Bayesian framework through Stan <https://mc-stan.org/>, come equipped with a set of diagnostics and complementary tools, visualizing and exporting functions. A Shiny application with a user-friendly interface can be launched to further simplify the process. For further details, refer to De Nicolò and Gardini (2024 <doi:10.18637/jss.v108.i01>).

This package provides a powerful tool for automating the early detection of seasonal epidemic onsets in time series data. It offers the ability to estimate growth rates across consecutive time intervals, calculate the sum of cases (SoC) within those intervals, and estimate seasonal onsets within user defined seasons. With use of a disease-specific threshold it also offers the possibility to estimate seasonal onset of epidemics. Additionally it offers the ability to estimate burden levels for seasons based on historical data. It is aimed towards epidemiologists, public health professionals, and researchers seeking to identify and respond to seasonal epidemics in a timely fashion.

This package implements weighted estimation in Cox regression as proposed by Schemper, Wakounig and Heinze (Statistics in Medicine, 2009, <doi:10.1002/sim.3623>) and as described in Dunkler, Ploner, Schemper and Heinze (Journal of Statistical Software, 2018, <doi:10.18637/jss.v084.i02>). Weighted Cox regression provides unbiased average hazard ratio estimates also in case of non-proportional hazards. Approximated generalized concordance probability an effect size measure for clear-cut decisions can be obtained. The package provides options to estimate time-dependent effects conveniently by including interactions of covariates with arbitrary functions of time, with or without making use of the weighting option.

This package provides methods for estimating parameter-dependent network centrality measures with linear-in-means models. Both non linear least squares and maximum likelihood estimators are implemented. The methods allow for both link and node heterogeneity in network effects, endogenous network formation and the presence of unconnected nodes. The routines also compare the explanatory power of parameter-dependent network centrality measures with those of standard measures of network centrality. Benefits and features of the econet package are illustrated using data from Battaglini and Patacchini (2018) and Battaglini, Patacchini, and Leone Sciabolazza (2020). For additional details, see the vignette <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i08>.
