An implementation of the alternating expectation conditional maximization (AECM) algorithm for matrix-variate variance gamma (MVVG) and normal-inverse Gaussian (MVNIG) linear models. These models are designed for settings of multivariate analysis with clustered non-uniform observations and correlated responses. The package includes fitting and prediction functions for both models, and an example dataset from a periodontal on Gullah-speaking African Americans, with responses in gaad_res, and covariates in gaad_cov. For more details on the matrix-variate distributions used, see Gallaugher & McNicholas (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2018.08.012>.

(2019), <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1907.01110>), robust signal to noise ratio (SNR), z-score, standardized mean difference (SMD), as well as functions that support graphical visualization such as boxplots based on quartiles (not hinges), negative logarithms and generalized logarithms for ggplot2 (Wickham (2016), ISBN:978-3-319-24277-4).

Extends multiverse package (Sarma A., Kale A., Moon M., Taback N., Chevalier F., Hullman J., Kay M., 2021) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/yfbwm>, which allows users perform to create explorable multiverse analysis in R. This extension provides an additional level of abstraction to the multiverse package with the aim of creating user friendly syntax to researchers, educators, and students in statistics. The mverse syntax is designed to allow piping and takes hints from the tidyverse grammar. The package allows users to define and inspect multiverse analysis using familiar syntax in R.

This package provides access to coded election programmes from the Manifesto Corpus and to the Manifesto Project's Main Dataset and routines to analyse this data. The Manifesto Project <https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu> collects and analyses election programmes across time and space to measure the political preferences of parties. The Manifesto Corpus contains the collected and annotated election programmes in the Corpus format of the package tm to enable easy use of text processing and text mining functionality. Specific functions for scaling of coded political texts are included.

Fits the neighboring models of a fitted structural equation model and assesses the model uncertainty of the fitted model based on BIC posterior probabilities, using the method presented in Wu, Cheung, and Leung (2020) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2019.1574546>.

This package contains a suite of functions for health economic evaluations with missing outcome data. The package can fit different types of statistical models under a fully Bayesian approach using the software JAGS (which should be installed locally and which is loaded in missingHE via the R package R2jags'). Three classes of models can be fitted under a variety of missing data assumptions: selection models, pattern mixture models and hurdle models. In addition to model fitting, missingHE provides a set of specialised functions to assess model convergence and fit, and to summarise the statistical and economic results using different types of measures and graphs. The methods implemented are described in Mason (2018) <doi:10.1002/hec.3793>, Molenberghs (2000) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4419-0300-6_18> and Gabrio (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8045>.

This package provides several classifiers based on probabilistic models. These classifiers allow to model the dependence structure of continuous features through bivariate copula functions and graphical models, see Salinas-Gutiérrez et al. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s00180-013-0457-y>.

Implementation of two p-value combination techniques (inverse normal and Fisher methods). A vignette is provided to explain how to perform a meta-analysis from two independent RNA-seq experiments.

Given a set of data points, a clustering is defined as a disjoint partition where each pair of sets in a partition has no overlapping elements. This package provides 25 methods that play a role somewhat similar to distance or metric that measures similarity of two clusterings - or partitions. For a more detailed description, see Meila, M. (2005) <doi:10.1145/1102351.1102424>.

Multi-omic (or any multi-view) spectral clustering methods often assume the same number of clusters across all datasets. We supply methods for multi-omic spectral clustering when the number of distinct clusters differs among the omics profiles (views).

This package provides functions for the creation, evaluation and test of decision models based in Multi Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT). Can process and evaluate local risk aversion utilities for a set of indexes, compute utilities and weights for the whole decision tree defining the decision model and simulate weights employing Dirichlet distributions under addition constraints in weights.

Bending non-positive-definite (symmetric) matrices to positive-definite, using weighted and unweighted methods. Jorjani, H., et al. (2003) <doi:10.3168/jds.S0022-0302(03)73646-7>. Schaeffer, L. R. (2014) <http://animalbiosciences.uoguelph.ca/~lrs/ELARES/PDforce.pdf>.

This package performs a multiscale analysis of a nonparametric regression or nonparametric regressions with time series errors. In case of one regression, with the help of this package it is possible to detect the regions where the trend function is increasing or decreasing. In case of multiple regressions, the test identifies regions where the trend functions are different from each other. See Khismatullina and Vogt (2020) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12347>, Khismatullina and Vogt (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.10841> and Khismatullina and Vogt (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2021.04.010> for more details on theory and applications.

This package provides functions that fit two modern education-based value-added models. One of these models is the quantile value-added model. This model permits estimating a school's value-added based on specific quantiles of the post-test distribution. Estimating value-added based on quantiles of the post-test distribution provides a more complete picture of an education institution's contribution to learning for students of all abilities. See Page, G.L.; San Martà n, E.; Orellana, J.; Gonzalez, J. (2017) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12195> for more details. The second model is a temporally dependent value-added model. This model takes into account the temporal dependence that may exist in school performance between two cohorts in one of two ways. The first is by modeling school random effects with a non-stationary AR(1) process. The second is by modeling school effects based on previous cohort's post-test performance. In addition to more efficiently estimating value-added, this model permits making statements about the persistence of a schools effectiveness. The standard value-added model is also an option.

This package performs meaningful subgrouping in a meta-analysis. This is a two-step process; first, use the iterative grouping functions (e.g., mgbin(), mgcont() ) to partition studies into statistically homogeneous clusters based on their effect size data. Second, use the meaning() function to analyze these new subgroups and understand their composition based on study-level characteristics (e.g., country, setting). This approach helps to uncover hidden structures in meta-analytic data and provide a deeper interpretation of heterogeneity.

Grey model is commonly used in time series forecasting when statistical assumptions are violated with a limited number of data points. The minimum number of data points required to fit a grey model is four observations. This package fits Grey model of First order and One Variable, i.e., GM (1,1) for multivariate time series data and returns the parameters of the model, model evaluation criteria and h-step ahead forecast values for each of the time series variables. For method details see, Akay, D. and Atak, M. (2007) <DOI:10.1016/j.energy.2006.11.014>, Hsu, L. and Wang, C. (2007).<DOI:10.1016/j.techfore.2006.02.005>.

Fit generalized linear models with binomial responses using a median modified score approach (Kenne Pagui et al., 2016, <https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.04768>) to median bias reduction. This method respects equivariance under reparameterizations for each parameter component and also solves the infinite estimates problem (data separation).
