This package provides the facility to calculate the Brainerd-Robinson similarity coefficient for the rows of an input table, and to calculate the significance of each coefficient based on a permutation approach; a heatmap is produced to visually represent the similarity matrix. Optionally, hierarchical agglomerative clustering can be performed and the silhouette method is used to identify an optimal number of clusters; the results of the clustering can be optionally used to sort the heatmap.

This package provides tools for statistical analysis using the binscatter methods developed by Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2024a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1902.09608>, Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2024b) <https://nppackages.github.io/references/Cattaneo-Crump-Farrell-Feng_2024_NonlinearBinscatter.pdf> and Cattaneo, Crump, Farrell and Feng (2024c) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1902.09615>. Binscatter provides a flexible way of describing the relationship between two variables based on partitioning/binning of the independent variable of interest. binsreg(), binsqreg() and binsglm() implement binscatter least squares regression, quantile regression and generalized linear regression respectively, with particular focus on constructing binned scatter plots. They also implement robust (pointwise and uniform) inference of regression functions and derivatives thereof. binstest() implements hypothesis testing procedures for parametric functional forms of and nonparametric shape restrictions on the regression function. binspwc() implements hypothesis testing procedures for pairwise group comparison of binscatter estimators. binsregselect() implements data-driven procedures for selecting the number of bins for binscatter estimation. All the commands allow for covariate adjustment, smoothness restrictions and clustering.

Estimation of Bayesian Global Vector Autoregressions (BGVAR) with different prior setups and the possibility to introduce stochastic volatility. Built-in priors include the Minnesota, the stochastic search variable selection and Normal-Gamma (NG) prior. For a reference see also Crespo Cuaresma, J., Feldkircher, M. and F.

Plotting functions are also available. The package has a companion paper: Boeck, M., Feldkircher, M. and F. Huber (2022) "BGVAR: Bayesian Global Vector Autoregressions with Shrinkage Priors in R", Journal of Statistical Software, Vol. 104(9), pp. 1-28 <doi:10.18637/jss.v104.i09>.

Detection of a statistically significant trend in the data provided by the user. This is based on the a signed test based on the binomial distribution. The package returns a trend test value, T, and also a p-value. A T value close to 1 indicates a rising trend, whereas a T value close to -1 indicates a decreasing trend. A T value close to 0 indicates no trend. There is also a command to visualize the trend. A test data set called gtsa_data is also available, which has global mean temperatures for January, April, July, and October for the years 1851 to 2022. Reference: Walpole, Myers, Myers, Ye. (2007, ISBN: 0-13-187711-9).

This package provides functions for the evaluation of basket trial designs with binary endpoints. Operating characteristics of a basket trial design are assessed by simulating trial data according to scenarios, analyzing the data with Bayesian hierarchical models (BHMs), and assessing decision probabilities on stratum and trial-level based on Go / No-go decision making. The package is build for high flexibility regarding decision rules, number of interim analyses, number of strata, and recruitment. The BHMs proposed by Berry et al. (2013) <doi:10.1177/1740774513497539> and Neuenschwander et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/pst.1730>, as well as a model that combines both approaches are implemented. Functions are provided to implement Bayesian decision rules as for example proposed by Fisch et al. (2015) <doi:10.1177/2168479014533970>. In addition, posterior point estimates (mean/median) and credible intervals for response rates and some model parameters can be calculated. For simulated trial data, bias and mean squared errors of posterior point estimates for response rates can be provided.

Fit Bayesian multivariate GARCH models using Stan for full Bayesian inference. Generate (weighted) forecasts for means, variances (volatility) and correlations. Currently DCC(P,Q), CCC(P,Q), pdBEKK(P,Q), and BEKK(P,Q) parameterizations are implemented, based either on a multivariate gaussian normal or student-t distribution. DCC and CCC models are based on Engle (2002) <doi:10.1198/073500102288618487> and Bollerslev (1990). The BEKK parameterization follows Engle and Kroner (1995) <doi:10.1017/S0266466600009063> while the pdBEKK as well as the estimation approach for this package is described in Rast et al. (2020) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/j57pk>. The fitted models contain rstan objects and can be examined with rstan functions.

This package performs (Adaptive) Boosting Trees for Poisson distributed response variables, using log-link function. The code approach is similar to the one used in gbm'/'gbm3'. Moreover, each tree in the expansion is built thanks to the rpart package. This package is based on following books and articles Denuit, M., Hainaut, D., Trufin, J.
