Create life tables with a Bayesian approach, which can be very useful for modelling a complex health process when considering multiple predisposing factors and multiple coexisting health conditions. Details for this method can be found in: Lynch, Scott, et al., (2022) <doi:10.1177/00811750221112398>; Zang, Emma, et al., (2022) <doi:10.1093/geronb/gbab149>.

Maximum-likelihood estimation of beta regression models for responses derived from bounded rating scales. Observations are treated as interval-censored on (0, 1) after a scale-to-unit transformation, and the likelihood is built from the difference of the beta CDF at the interval endpoints. The complete likelihood supports mixed censoring types: uncensored, left-censored, right-censored, and interval-censored observations. Both fixed- and variable-dispersion submodels are supported, with flexible link functions for the mean and precision components. A compiled C++ backend (via Rcpp and RcppArmadillo') provides numerically stable, high-performance log-likelihood evaluation. Standard S3 methods (print(), summary(), coef(), fitted(), residuals(), predict(), plot(), confint(), vcov(), logLik(), AIC(), BIC()) are available for fitted objects.

MDS is a statistic tool for reduction of dimensionality, using as input a distance matrix of dimensions n à n. When n is large, classical algorithms suffer from computational problems and MDS configuration can not be obtained. With this package, we address these problems by means of six algorithms, being two of them original proposals: - Landmark MDS proposed by De Silva V. and JB. Tenenbaum (2004). - Interpolation MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Reduced MDS proposed by Paradis E (2018). - Pivot MDS proposed by Brandes U. and C. Pich (2007) - Divide-and-conquer MDS proposed by Delicado P. and C. Pachón-Garcà a (2021) <arXiv:2007.11919> (original proposal). - Fast MDS, proposed by Yang, T., J. Liu, L. McMillan and W. Wang (2006).

Implementation of the nonparametric bounds for the average causal effect under an instrumental variable model by Balke and Pearl (Bounds on Treatment Effects from Studies with Imperfect Compliance, JASA, 1997, 92, 439, 1171-1176, <doi:10.2307/2965583>). The package can calculate bounds for a binary outcome, a binary treatment/phenotype, and an instrument with either 2 or 3 categories. The package implements bounds for situations where these 3 variables are measured in the same dataset (trivariate data) or where the outcome and instrument are measured in one study and the treatment/phenotype and instrument are measured in another study (bivariate data).

The Bayesian MCMC estimation of parameters for Thomas-type cluster point process with various inhomogeneities. It allows for inhomogeneity in (i) distribution of parent points, (ii) mean number of points in a cluster, (iii) cluster spread. The package also allows for the Bayesian MCMC algorithm for the homogeneous generalized Thomas process. The cluster size is allowed to have a variance that is greater or less than the expected value (cluster sizes are over or under dispersed). Details are described in DvoŠák, RemeÅ¡, Beránek & MrkviÄ ka (2022) <arXiv: 10.48550/arXiv.2205.07946>.

Verification of continually updating time series data where we expect new values, but want to ensure previous data remains unchanged. Data previously recorded could change for a number of reasons, such as discovery of an error in model code, a change in methodology or instrument recalibration. Monitoring data sources for these changes is not always possible. Other unnoticed changes could include a jump in time or measurement frequency, due to instrument failure or software updates. Functionality is provided that can be used to check and flag changes to previous data to prevent changes going unnoticed, as well as unexpected jumps in time.

These functions provide a convenient interface for downloading data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics <https://www.bls.gov>. The functions in this package utilize flat files produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which contain full series history. These files include employment, unemployment, wages, prices, industry and occupational data at a national, state, and sub-state level, depending on the series. Individual functions are included for those programs which have data available at the state level. The core functions provide direct access to the Current Employment Statistics (CES) <https://www.bls.gov/ces/>, Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) <https://www.bls.gov/lau/>, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) <https://www.bls.gov/oes/> and Alternative Measures of Labor Underutilization (SALT) <https://www.bls.gov/lau/stalt.htm> data produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
