The goal of automatedRecLin is to perform record linkage (also known as entity resolution) in unsupervised or supervised settings. It compares pairs of records from two datasets using selected comparison functions to estimate the probability or density ratio between matched and non-matched records. Based on these estimates, it predicts a set of matches that maximizes entropy. For details see: Lee et al. (2022) <https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/12-001-x/2022001/article/00007-eng.htm>, Vo et al. (2023) <https://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/csdana/v179y2023ics0167947322002365.html>, Sugiyama et al. (2008) <doi:10.1007/s10463-008-0197-x>.

This package contains functions to implement automated covariate selection using methods described in the high-dimensional propensity score (HDPS) algorithm by Schneeweiss et.al. Covariate adjustment in real-world-observational-data (RWD) is important for for estimating adjusted outcomes and this can be done by using methods such as, but not limited to, propensity score matching, propensity score weighting and regression analysis. While these methods strive to statistically adjust for confounding, the major challenge is in selecting the potential covariates that can bias the outcomes comparison estimates in observational RWD (Real-World-Data). This is where the utility of automated covariate selection comes in. The functions in this package help to implement the three major steps of automated covariate selection as described by Schneeweiss et. al elsewhere. These three functions, in order of the steps required to execute automated covariate selection are, get_candidate_covariates(), get_recurrence_covariates() and get_prioritised_covariates(). In addition to these functions, a sample real-world-data from publicly available de-identified medical claims data is also available for running examples and also for further exploration. The original article where the algorithm is described by Schneeweiss et.al. (2009) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3181a663cc> .

The main application concerns to a new robust optimization package with two major contributions. The first contribution refers to the assessment of the adequacy of probabilistic models through a combination of several statistics, which measure the relative quality of statistical models for a given data set. The second one provides a general purpose optimization method based on meta-heuristics functions for maximizing or minimizing an arbitrary objective function.

This package provides methods to analyse the stability of non-deterministic prediction models. Prediction stability is quantified either as data-based prediction stability (phi) or as model-based prediction stability (psi). The package implements measures for categorical, ordinal, and metric predictions based on repeated model fitting and corresponding predictions. Methods are based on Lange et al. (2025) <doi:10.1186/s12859-025-06097-1>.

In fields such as ecology, microbiology, and genomics, non-Euclidean distances are widely applied to describe pairwise dissimilarity between samples. Given these pairwise distances, principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) is commonly used to construct a visualization of the data. However, confounding covariates can make patterns related to the scientific question of interest difficult to observe. We provide aPCoA as an easy-to-use tool to improve data visualization in this context, enabling enhanced presentation of the effects of interest. Details are described in Yushu Shi, Liangliang Zhang, Kim-Anh Do, Christine Peterson and Robert Jenq (2020) Bioinformatics, Volume 36, Issue 13, 4099-4101.

The empirical cumulative average deviation function introduced by the author is utilized to develop both Ad- and Ud-plots. The Ad-plot can identify symmetry, skewness, and outliers of the data distribution, including anomalies. The Ud-plot created by slightly modifying Ad-plot is exceptional in assessing normality, outperforming normal QQ-plot, normal PP-plot, and their derivations. The d-value that quantifies the degree of proximity between the Ud-plot and the graph of the estimated normal density function helps guide to make decisions on confirmation of normality. Full description of this methodology can be found in the article by Wijesuriya (2025) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2024.2440583>.
