Code for backShift', an algorithm to estimate the connectivity matrix of a directed (possibly cyclic) graph with hidden variables. The underlying system is required to be linear and we assume that observations under different shift interventions are available. For more details, see <arXiv:1506.02494>.

Efficient methods for Bayesian inference of state space models via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based on parallel importance sampling type weighted estimators (Vihola, Helske, and Franks, 2020, <doi:10.1111/sjos.12492>), particle MCMC, and its delayed acceptance version. Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, and Gamma observation densities and basic stochastic volatility models with linear-Gaussian state dynamics, as well as general non-linear Gaussian models and discretised diffusion models are supported. See Helske and Vihola (2021, <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-103>) for details.

This package implements the Beta Kernel Process (BKP) for nonparametric modeling of spatially varying binomial probabilities, together with its extension, the Dirichlet Kernel Process (DKP), for categorical or multinomial data. The package provides functions for model fitting, predictive inference with uncertainty quantification, posterior simulation, and visualization in one-and two-dimensional input spaces. Multiple kernel functions (Gaussian, Matern 5/2, and Matern 3/2) are supported, with hyperparameters optimized through multi-start gradient-based search. For more details, see Zhao, Qing, and Xu (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.10447>.

Allows access to data from the Brazilian Public Security Information System (SINESP) by state and municipality. It should be emphasized that the package only extracts the data and facilitates its manipulation in R. Therefore, its sole purpose is to support empirical research. All data credits belong to SINESP, an integrated information platform developed and maintained by the National Secretariat of Public Security (SENASP) of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. <https://www.gov.br/mj/pt-br/assuntos/sua-seguranca/seguranca-publica/sinesp-1>.

This package provides a GUI with which the user can construct and interact with Bootstrap methods on Classical Biplots and with Clustering and/or Disjoint Biplot. This GUI is also aimed for estimate any numerical data matrix using the Clustering and Disjoint Principal component (CDPCA) methodology.

Building on the docking layout manager provided by dockViewR', this provides a flexible front-end to blockr.core'. It provides an extension mechanism which allows for providing means to manipulate a board object via panel-based user interface components.

Fits a piecewise exponential hazard to survival data using a Hierarchical Bayesian model with an Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive formulation for the spatial dependency in the hazard rates for each piece. This function uses Metropolis- Hastings-Green MCMC to allow the number of split points to vary and also uses Stochastic Search Variable Selection to determine what covariates drive the risk of the event. This function outputs trace plots depicting the number of split points in the hazard and the number of variables included in the hazard. The function saves all posterior quantities to the desired path.

This package provides tools designed to perform and evaluate cluster analysis (including Tocher's algorithm), discriminant analysis and path analysis (standard and under collinearity), as well as some useful miscellaneous tools for dealing with sample size and optimum plot size calculations.

It offers simplified access to Brazilian macroeconomic and financial indicators selected from official sources, such as the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) via the SIDRA API and the Central Bank of Brazil via the SGS API. It allows users to quickly retrieve and visualize data series such as the unemployment rate and the Selic interest rate. This package was developed for data access and visualization purposes, without generating forecasts or statistical results. For more information, see the official APIs: <https://sidra.ibge.gov.br/> and <https://dadosabertos.bcb.gov.br/dataset/>.
