The top-performing ensemble-based Penalized Cox Regression (ePCR) framework developed during the DREAM 9.5 mCRPC Prostate Cancer Challenge <https://www.synapse.org/ProstateCancerChallenge> presented in Guinney J, Wang T, Laajala TD, et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(16)30560-5> is provided here-in, together with the corresponding follow-up work. While initially aimed at modeling the most advanced stage of prostate cancer, metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC), the modeling framework has subsequently been extended to cover also the non-metastatic form of advanced prostate cancer (CRPC). Readily fitted ensemble-based model S4-objects are provided, and a simulated example dataset based on a real-life cohort is provided from the Turku University Hospital, to illustrate the use of the package. Functionality of the ePCR methodology relies on constructing ensembles of strata in patient cohorts and averaging over them, with each ensemble member consisting of a highly optimized penalized/regularized Cox regression model. Various cross-validation and other modeling schema are provided for constructing novel model objects.

This package provides discrete and continuous color palettes derived from the album cover artwork of each Taylor Swift Era. Each palette ships with a curated order-of-use so that smaller discrete subsets remain harmonious, and supports continuous interpolation via grDevices::colorRampPalette() for arbitrary n'. Designed to plug into ggplot2 workflows through standard manual and gradient scales.

Unsupervised, multivariate, binary clustering for meaningful annotation of data, taking into account the uncertainty in the data. A specific constructor for trajectory analysis in movement ecology yields behavioural annotation of trajectories based on estimated local measures of velocity and turning angle, eventually with solar position covariate as a daytime indicator, ("Expectation-Maximization Binary Clustering for Behavioural Annotation").

Estimates an ecological niche using occurrence data, covariates, and kernel density-based estimation methods. For a single species with presence and absence data, the envi package uses the spatial relative risk function that is estimated using the sparr package. Details about the sparr package methods can be found in the tutorial: Davies et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7577>. Details about kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1990) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780090616>. More information about relative risk functions using kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1991) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780101112>.

It allows structuring electoral data of different size and structure to calculate various indicators frequently used in the studies of electoral systems and party systems. Indicators of electoral volatility, electoral disproportionality, party nationalization and the effective number of parties are included.

Efficiently impute large scale matrix with missing values via its unbiased low-rank matrix approximation. Our main approach is Hard-Impute algorithm proposed in <https://www.jmlr.org/papers/v11/mazumder10a.html>, which achieves highly computational advantage by truncated singular-value decomposition.

This package provides all electivity algorithms (including Vanderploeg and Scavia electivity) that were examined in Lechowicz (1982) <doi:10.1007/BF00349007>, plus the example data that were provided for moth resource utilisation.

Estimate a total causal effect from observational data under linearity and causal sufficiency. The observational data is supposed to be generated from a linear structural equation model (SEM) with independent and additive noise. The underlying causal DAG associated the SEM is required to be known up to a maximally oriented partially directed graph (MPDAG), which is a general class of graphs consisting of both directed and undirected edges, including CPDAGs (i.e., essential graphs) and DAGs. Such graphs are usually obtained with structure learning algorithms with added background knowledge. The program is able to estimate every identified effect, including single and multiple treatment variables. Moreover, the resulting estimate has the minimal asymptotic covariance (and hence shortest confidence intervals) among all estimators that are based on the sample covariance.

This package provides methods for analyzing R by C ecological contingency tables using the extreme case analysis, ecological regression, and Multinomial-Dirichlet ecological inference models. Also provides tools for manipulating higher-dimension data objects.

The main aim is to further facilitate the creation of exercises based on the package exams by Grün, B., and Zeileis, A. (2009) <doi:10.18637/jss.v029.i10>. Creating effective student exercises involves challenges such as creating appropriate data sets and ensuring access to intermediate values for accurate explanation of solutions. The functionality includes the generation of univariate and bivariate data including simple time series, functions for theoretical distributions and their approximation, statistical and mathematical calculations for tasks in basic statistics courses as well as general tasks such as string manipulation, LaTeX/HTML formatting and the editing of XML task files for Moodle'.

Take the examples written in your documentation of functions and use them to create shells (skeletons which must be manually completed by the user) of test files to be tested with the testthat package. Sort of like python doctests for R.

Ensemble Model Output Statistics to create probabilistic forecasts from ensemble forecasts and weather observations.

This package contains a large number of the goodness-of-fit tests for the Exponential and Weibull distributions classified into families: the tests based on the empirical distribution function, the tests based on the probability plot, the tests based on the normalized spacings, the tests based on the Laplace transform and the likelihood based tests.

Several functions, datasets, and sample codes related to empirical research in economics are included. They cover the marginal effects for binary or ordered choice models, static and dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) models, and a typical event analysis in finance.

The encompassing test is developed based on multi-step-ahead predictions of two nested models as in Pitarakis, J. (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.16099>. The statistics are standardised to a normal distribution, and the null hypothesis is that the larger model contains no additional useful information. P-values will be provided in the output.

Simulation and estimation of Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) for small networks using exact statistics as shown in Vega Yon et al. (2020) <DOI:10.1016/j.socnet.2020.07.005>. As a difference from the ergm package, ergmito circumvents using Markov-Chain Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MC-MLE) and instead uses Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) to fit ERGMs for small networks. As exhaustive enumeration is computationally feasible for small networks, this R package takes advantage of this and provides tools for calculating likelihood functions, and other relevant functions, directly, meaning that in many cases both estimation and simulation of ERGMs for small networks can be faster and more accurate than simulation-based algorithms.

This package provides a consistent representation of year-based time scales as a numeric vector with an associated era'. There are built-in era definitions for many year numbering systems used in contemporary and historic calendars (e.g. Common Era, Islamic Hijri years); year-based time scales used in archaeology, astronomy, geology, and other palaeosciences (e.g. Before Present, SI-prefixed annus'); and support for arbitrary user-defined eras. Years can converted from any one era to another using a generalised transformation function. Methods are also provided for robust casting and coercion between years and other numeric types, type-stable arithmetic with years, and pretty-printing in tables.
