Non-normality could greatly distort the meta-analytic results, according to the simulation in Sun and Cheung (2020) <doi: 10.3758/s13428-019-01334-x>. This package aims to detect non-normality for two independent groups with only limited descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum.

This package provides a set of functions to estimate the controlled direct effect of treatment fixing a potential mediator to a specific value. Implements the sequential g-estimation estimator described in Vansteelandt (2009) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3181b6f4c9> and Acharya, Blackwell, and Sen (2016) <doi:10.1017/S0003055416000216> and the telescope matching estimator described in Blackwell and Strezhnev (2020) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12759>.

This package provides tools for temporal disaggregation, including: (1) High-dimensional and low-dimensional series generation for simulation studies; (2) A toolkit for temporal disaggregation and benchmarking using low-dimensional indicator series as proposed by Dagum and Cholette (2006, ISBN:978-0-387-35439-2); (3) Novel techniques by Mosley, Gibberd, and Eckley (2022, <doi:10.1111/rssa.12952>) for disaggregating low-frequency series in the presence of high-dimensional indicator matrices.

This package provides a framework for representing discrete numeric series (enumerable sets of numbers) that may be finite or infinite. Series can be traversed, combined using arithmetic operations, tested for membership, and queried for limit points ("sinks"), without explicit enumeration of all elements.

We provide a comprehensive software to estimate general K-stage DTRs from SMARTs with Q-learning and a variety of outcome-weighted learning methods. Penalizations are allowed for variable selection and model regularization. With the outcome-weighted learning scheme, different loss functions - SVM hinge loss, SVM ramp loss, binomial deviance loss, and L2 loss - are adopted to solve the weighted classification problem at each stage; augmentation in the outcomes is allowed to improve efficiency. The estimated DTR can be easily applied to a new sample for individualized treatment recommendations or DTR evaluation.

This package provides functions providing an easy and intuitive way for fitting and clusters data using the Mixture of Unigrams models by means the Expectation-Maximization algorithm (Nigam, K. et al. (2000). <doi:10.1023/A:1007692713085>), Mixture of Dirichlet-Multinomials estimated by Gradient Descent (Anderlucci, Viroli (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11634-020-00399-3>) and Deep Mixture of Multinomials whose estimates are obtained with Gibbs sampling scheme (Viroli, Anderlucci (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11222-020-09989-9>). There are also functions for graphical representation of clusters obtained.

Estimate common causal parameters using double/debiased machine learning as proposed by Chernozhukov et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/ectj.12097>. ddml simplifies estimation based on (short-)stacking as discussed in Ahrens et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/jae.3103>, which leverages multiple base learners to increase robustness to the underlying data generating process.

Various diffusion models to forecast new product growth. Currently the package contains Bass, Gompertz, Gamma/Shifted Gompertz and Weibull curves. See Meade and Islam (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2006.01.005>.

This package implements the daily based Morgan-Morgan-Finney (DMMF) soil erosion model (Choi et al., 2017 <doi:10.3390/w9040278>) for estimating surface runoff and sediment budgets from a field or a catchment on a daily basis.

This package provides an R interface for downloading and standardizing election data to support research workflows. Election results are published by states through heterogeneous and often dynamic web interfaces that are not consistently accessible through existing R packages or APIs. To address this, the package wraps state-specific Python web scrapers through the reticulate package, enabling access to dynamic content while exposing consistent R functions for querying election availability and results across jurisdictions. The package is intended for responsible use and relies on publicly accessible election result pages.

An easy-to-use yet powerful system for plotting grouped data effect sizes. Various types of effect size can be estimated, then plotted together with a representation of the original data. Select from many possible data representations (box plots, violin plots, raw data points etc.), and combine as desired. Durga plots are implemented in base R, so are compatible with base R methods for combining plots, such as layout()'. See Khan & McLean (2023) <doi:10.1101/2023.02.06.526960>.

Implementation of selected Tidyverse functions within DataSHIELD', an open-source federated analysis solution in R. Currently, DataSHIELD contains very limited tools for data manipulation, so the aim of this package is to improve the researcher experience by implementing essential functions for data manipulation, including subsetting, filtering, grouping, and renaming variables. This is the client-side package which should be installed locally, and is used in conjunction with the server-side package dsTidyverse which is installed on the remote server holding the data. For more information, see <https://tidyverse.org/> and <https://datashield.org/>.

The goal of dataspice is to make it easier for researchers to create basic, lightweight, and concise metadata files for their datasets. These basic files can then be used to make useful information available during analysis, create a helpful dataset "README" webpage, and produce more complex metadata formats to aid dataset discovery. Metadata fields are based on the Schema.org and Ecological Metadata Language standards.

This package provides tools for constructing and auditing longitudinal decision paths from panel data. Implements a decision infrastructure framework for representing institutional AI systems as generators of time-ordered binary decision sequences. Provides functions to build path objects from panel data, summarise per-unit descriptors (dosage, switching rate, onset, duration, longest run), compute the Decision Reliability Index (DRI) following Cronbach (1951) <doi:10.1007/BF02310555>, estimate Shannon decision-path entropy following Shannon (1948) <doi:10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x>, classify systems by infrastructure type (static, periodic, continuous, human-in-the-loop), and evaluate subgroup disparities in decision exposure and stability. Applications include education, policy, health, and organisational research.

This package implements the locally efficient doubly robust difference-in-differences (DiD) estimators for the average treatment effect proposed by Sant'Anna and Zhao (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.06.003>. The estimator combines inverse probability weighting and outcome regression estimators (also implemented in the package) to form estimators with more attractive statistical properties. Two different estimation methods can be used to estimate the nuisance functions.
