Simulates individual-based models of agricultural pest management and the evolution of pesticide resistance. Management occurs on a spatially explicit landscape that is divided into an arbitrary number of farms that can grow one of up to 10 crops and apply one of up to 10 pesticides. Pest genomes are modelled in a way that allows for any number of pest traits with an arbitrary covariance structure that is constructed using an evolutionary algorithm in the mine_gmatrix() function. Simulations are then run using the run_farm_sim() function. This package thereby allows for highly mechanistic social-ecological models of the evolution of pesticide resistance under different types of crop rotation and pesticide application regimes.

Adds the MIxing-Data Sampling (MIDAS, Ghysels et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/07474930600972467>) components to a variety of GARCH and MEM (Engle (2002) <doi:10.1002/jae.683>, Engle and Gallo (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2005.01.018>, and Amendola et al. (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.seps.2023.101764>) models, with the aim of predicting the volatility with additional low-frequency (that is, MIDAS) terms. The estimation takes place through simple functions, which provide in-sample and (if present) and out-of-sample evaluations. rumidas also offers a summary tool, which synthesizes the main information of the estimated model. There is also the possibility of generating one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead forecasts.

This package provides a multi-platform user interface for drawing highly customizable graphs in R. It aims to be a valuable help to quickly draw publishable graphs without any knowledge of R commands. Six kinds of graph are available: histogram, box-and-whisker plot, bar plot, pie chart, curve and scatter plot.

We implement two main functions. The first function uses a given grouped and/or right-censored grouping scheme and empirical data to infer parameters, and implements chi-square goodness-of-fit tests. The second function searches for the global optimal grouping scheme of grouped and/or right-censored count responses in surveys.

This package provides functions for estimating a GARCHSK model and GJRSK model based on a publication by Leon et,al (2005)<doi:10.1016/j.qref.2004.12.020> and Nakagawa and Uchiyama (2020)<doi:10.3390/math8111990>. These are a GARCH-type model allowing for time-varying volatility, skewness and kurtosis.

Measure quality of your tests. muttest introduces small changes (mutations) to your code and runs your tests to check if they catch the changes. If they do, your tests are good. If not, your assertions are not specific enough. muttest gives you percent score of how often your tests catch the changes.
