The goal of the package aldvmm is to fit adjusted limited dependent variable mixture models of health state utilities. Adjusted limited dependent variable mixture models are finite mixtures of normal distributions with an accumulation of density mass at the limits, and a gap between 100% quality of life and the next smaller utility value. The package aldvmm uses the likelihood and expected value functions proposed by Hernandez Alava and Wailoo (2015) <doi:10.1177/1536867X1501500307> using normal component distributions and a multinomial logit model of probabilities of component membership.

Analysis of task-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity at the level of individual participants is commonly based on general linear modelling (GLM) that allows us to estimate to what extent the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal can be explained by task response predictors specified in the GLM model. The predictors are constructed by convolving the hypothesised timecourse of neural activity with an assumed hemodynamic response function (HRF). To get valid and precise estimates of task response, it is important to construct a model of neural activity that best matches actual neuronal activity. The construction of models is most often driven by predefined assumptions on the components of brain activity and their duration based on the task design and specific aims of the study. However, our assumptions about the onset and duration of component processes might be wrong and can also differ across brain regions. This can result in inappropriate or suboptimal models, bad fitting of the model to the actual data and invalid estimations of brain activity. Here we present an approach in which theoretically driven models of task response are used to define constraints based on which the final model is derived computationally using the actual data. Specifically, we developed autohrf â a package for the R programming language that allows for data-driven estimation of HRF models. The package uses genetic algorithms to efficiently search for models that fit the underlying data well. The package uses automated parameter search to find the onset and duration of task predictors which result in the highest fitness of the resulting GLM based on the fMRI signal under predefined restrictions. We evaluate the usefulness of the autohrf package on publicly available datasets of task-related fMRI activity. Our results suggest that by using autohrf users can find better task related brain activity models in a quick and efficient manner.

Enables sampling from arbitrary distributions if the log density is known up to a constant; a common situation in the context of Bayesian inference. The implemented sampling algorithm was proposed by Vihola (2012) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-011-9269-5> and achieves often a high efficiency by tuning the proposal distributions to a user defined acceptance rate.

Manage dependencies during package development. This can retrieve all dependencies that are used in ".R" files in the "R/" directory, in ".Rmd" files in "vignettes/" directory and in roxygen2 documentation of functions. There is a function to update the "DESCRIPTION" file of your package with CRAN packages or any other remote package. All functions to retrieve dependencies of ".R" scripts and ".Rmd" or ".qmd" files can be used independently of a package development.

It fits a univariate left, right, or interval censored linear regression model with autoregressive errors, considering the normal or the Student-t distribution for the innovations. It provides estimates and standard errors of the parameters, predicts future observations, and supports missing values on the dependent variable. References used for this package: Schumacher, F.

Another implementation of object-orientation in R. It provides syntactic sugar for the S4 class system and two alternative new implementations. One is an experimental version built around S4 and the other one makes it more convenient to work with lists as objects.

This package provides an algebra over probability distributions enabling composition, sampling, and automatic simplification to closed forms. Supports normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, chi-squared, uniform, beta, log-normal, Poisson, multivariate normal, empirical, and mixture distributions with algebraic operators (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, power, exp, log, min, max) that automatically simplify when mathematical identities apply. Includes closed-form MVN conditioning (Schur complement), affine transformations, mixture marginals/conditionals (Bayes rule), and limiting distribution builders (CLT, LLN, delta method). Uses S3 classes for distributions and R6 for support objects.

Given the parameters of a distribution, the package uses the concept of alpha-outliers by Davies and Gather (1993) to flag outliers in a data set. See Davies, L.; Gather, U. (1993): The identification of multiple outliers, JASA, 88 423, 782-792, <doi:10.1080/01621459.1993.10476339> for details.

This package implements the Agnostic Fay-Herriot model, an extension of the traditional small area model. In place of normal sampling errors, the sampling error distribution is estimated with a Gaussian process to accommodate a broader class of distributions. This flexibility is most useful in the presence of bounded, multi-modal, or heavily skewed sampling errors.

Fits tractable fully parametric odds-based regression models for survival data, including proportional odds (PO), accelerated failure time (AFT), accelerated odds (AO), and General Odds (GO) models in overall survival frameworks. Given at least an R function specifying the survivor, hazard rate and cumulative distribution functions, any user-defined parametric distribution can be fitted. We applied and evaluated a minimum of seventeen (17) various baseline distributions that can handle different failure rate shapes for each of the four different proposed odds-based regression models.

This package contains data and functions that can be used to make actuarial life tables. Each function adds a column to the inputted dataset for each intermediate calculation between mortality rate and life expectancy. Users can run any of our functions to complete the life table until that step, or run lifetable() to output a full life table that can be customized to remove optional columns. Methods for creating lifetables are as described in Zedstatistics (2021) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfe59glNXAQ>.
