In the context of data quality assessment, this package provides a number of functions for evaluating data quality across various dimensions, including completeness, plausibility, concordance, conformance, currency, timeliness, and correctness. It has been developed based on two well-known frameworksâ Michael G. Kahn (2016) <doi:10.13063/2327-9214.1244> and Nicole G. Weiskopf (2017) <doi:10.5334/egems.218>â for data quality assessment. Using this package, users can evaluate the quality of their datasets, provided that corresponding metadata are available.

This package performs sensitivity analysis for the sharp null, attributable effects, and weak nulls in matched studies with continuous exposures and binary or continuous outcomes as described in Zhang, Small, Heng (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2401.06909> and Zhang, Heng (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.12848>. Two of the functions require installation of the Gurobi optimizer. Please see <https://docs.gurobi.com/current/#refman/ins_the_r_package.html> for guidance.

This package provides methods for fitting nonstationary Gaussian process models by spatial deformation, as introduced by Sampson and Guttorp (1992) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475181>, and by dimension expansion, as introduced by Bornn et al. (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2011.646919>. Low-rank thin-plate regression splines, as developed in Wood, S.N. (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-9868.00374>, are used to either transform co-ordinates or create new latent dimensions.

Gaussian mixture modeling of one- and two-dimensional data, provided in original or binned form, with an option to estimate the number of model components. The method uses Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) with initial parameters determined by a dynamic programming algorithm, leading to stable and reproducible model fitting.

Fit of a double additive location-scale model with a nonparametric error distribution from possibly right- or interval censored data. The additive terms in the location and dispersion submodels, as well as the unknown error distribution in the location-scale model, are estimated using Laplace P-splines. For more details, see Lambert (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107250>.

This package provides tools to create and manipulate probability distributions using S3. Generics pdf(), cdf(), quantile(), and random() provide replacements for base R's d/p/q/r style functions. Functions and arguments have been named carefully to minimize confusion for students in intro stats courses. The documentation for each distribution contains detailed mathematical notes.

An abstract DList class helps storing large list-type objects in a distributed manner. Corresponding high-level functions and methods for handling distributed storage (DStorage) and lists allows for processing such DLists on distributed systems efficiently. In doing so it uses a well defined storage backend implemented based on the DStorage class.

Analyzes non-verbal communication by processing data extracted from video recordings of dyadic interactions. It supports integration with open source tools, currently limited to OpenPose (Cao et al. (2019) <doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2019.2929257>), converting its outputs into CSV format for further analysis. The package includes functions for data pre-processing, visualization, and computation of motion indices such as velocity, acceleration, and jerkiness (Cook et al. (2013) <doi:10.1093/brain/awt208>), facilitating the analysis of non-verbal cues in paired interactions and contributing to research on human communication dynamics.

Generally, most of the packages specify the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, quantile function, and random numbers generation of the probability distributions. The present package allows to compute some important distributional properties, including the first four ordinary and central moments, Pearson's coefficient of skewness and kurtosis, the mean and variance, coefficient of variation, median, and quartile deviation at some parametric values of several well-known and extensively used probability distributions.

Calculates expected values, variance, different moments (kth moment, truncated mean), stop-loss, mean excess loss, Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Tail Value-at-Risk (TVaR) as well as some density and cumulative (survival) functions of continuous, discrete and compound distributions. This package also includes a visual Shiny component to enable students to visualize distributions and understand the impact of their parameters. This package is intended to expand the stats package so as to enable students to develop an intuition for probability.

Models for detecting concreteness in natural language. This package is built in support of Yeomans (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.obhdp.2020.10.008>, which reviews linguistic models of concreteness in several domains. Here, we provide an implementation of the best-performing domain-general model (from Brysbaert et al., (2014) <doi:10.3758/s13428-013-0403-5>) as well as two pre-trained models for the feedback and plan-making domains.

An open, multi-algorithmic pipeline for easy, fast and efficient analysis of cellular sub-populations and the molecular signatures that characterize them. The pipeline consists of four successive steps: data pre-processing, cellular clustering with pseudo-temporal ordering, defining differential expressed genes and biomarker identification. More details on Ghannoum et. al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijms22031399>. This package implements extensions of the work published by Ghannoum et. al. (2019) <doi:10.1101/700989>.

As a distributed imputation strategy, the Distributed full information Multiple Imputation method is developed to impute missing response variables in distributed linear regression. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo (2025) <doi:10.1038/s41598-025-93333-6>.

Dual Scaling, developed by Professor Shizuhiko Nishisato (1994, ISBN: 0-9691785-3-6), is a fundamental technique in multivariate analysis used for data scaling and correspondence analysis. Its utility lies in its ability to represent multidimensional data in a lower-dimensional space, making it easier to visualize and understand underlying patterns in complex data. This technique has been implemented to handle various types of data, including Contingency and Frequency data (CF), Multiple-Choice data (MC), Sorting data (SO), Paired-Comparison data (PC), and Rank-Order data (RO), providing users with a powerful tool to explore relationships between variables and observations in various fields, from sociology to ecology, enabling deeper and more efficient analysis of multivariate datasets.

CRAN packages DoE.base and Rmosek and non-'CRAN package gurobi are enhanced with functionality for the creation of optimized arrays for experimentation, where optimization is in terms of generalized minimum aberration. It is also possible to optimally extend existing arrays to larger run size. The package writes MPS (Mathematical Programming System) files for use with any mixed integer optimization software that can process such files. If at least one of the commercial products Gurobi or Mosek (free academic licenses available for both) is available, the package also creates arrays by optimization. For installing Gurobi and its R package gurobi', follow instructions at <https://support.gurobi.com/hc/en-us/articles/14462206790033-How-do-I-install-Gurobi-for-R>. For installing Mosek and its R package Rmosek', follow instructions at <https://www.mosek.com/downloads/> and <https://docs.mosek.com/8.1/rmosek/install-interface.html>, or use the functionality in the stump CRAN R package Rmosek'.

Set of functions for Data Envelopment Analysis, including classical, fuzzy, cross-efficiency, bootstrapping, and Malmquist models. See: Banker, R.; Charnes, A.; Cooper, W.W. (1984). <doi:10.1287/mnsc.30.9.1078>, Charnes, A.; Cooper, W.W.; Rhodes, E. (1978). <doi:10.1016/0377-2217(78)90138-8> and Charnes, A.; Cooper, W.W.; Rhodes, E. (1981). <doi:10.1287/mnsc.27.6.668>.

The implemented methods are: Standard Bass model, Generalized Bass model (with rectangular shock, exponential shock, and mixed shock. You can choose to add from 1 to 3 shocks), Guseo-Guidolin model and Variable Potential Market model, and UCRCD model. The Bass model consists of a simple differential equation that describes the process of how new products get adopted in a population, the Generalized Bass model is a generalization of the Bass model in which there is a "carrier" function x(t) that allows to change the speed of time sliding. In some real processes the reachable potential of the resource available in a temporal instant may appear to be not constant over time, because of this we use Variable Potential Market model, in which the Guseo-Guidolin has a particular specification for the market function. The UCRCD model (Unbalanced Competition and Regime Change Diachronic) is a diffusion model used to capture the dynamics of the competitive or collaborative transition.
