This package implements optimal matching with near-fine balance in large observational studies with the use of optimal calipers to get a sparse network. The caliper is optimal in the sense that it is as small as possible such that a matching exists. The main functions in the bigmatch package are optcal() to find the optimal caliper, optconstant() to find the optimal number of nearest neighbors, and nfmatch() to find a near-fine balance match with a caliper and a restriction on the number of nearest neighbors.

Complex machine learning models are often difficult to interpret. Shapley values serve as a powerful tool to understand and explain why a model makes a particular prediction. This package computes variable contributions using permutation-based Shapley values for Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) and its extension with Post-Stratification (BARP). The permutation-based SHAP method proposed by Strumbel and Kononenko (2014) <doi:10.1007/s10115-013-0679-x> is grounded in data obtained via MCMC sampling. Similar to the BART model introduced by Chipman, George, and McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>, this package leverages Bayesian posterior samples generated during model estimation, allowing variable contributions to be computed without requiring additional sampling. The BART model is designed to work with the following R packages: BART <doi:10.18637/jss.v097.i01>, bartMachine <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i04>, and dbarts <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=dbarts>. For XGBoost and baseline adjustments, the approach by Lundberg et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s42256-019-0138-9> is also considered. The BARP model proposed by Bisbee (2019) <doi:10.1017/S0003055419000480> was implemented with reference to <https://github.com/jbisbee1/BARP> and is designed to work with modified functions based on that implementation. BARP extends post-stratification by computing variable contributions within each stratum defined by stratifying variables. The resulting Shapley values are visualized through both global and local explanation methods.

Bayesian approaches for analyzing multivariate data in ecology. Estimation is performed using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods via Three. JAGS types of models may be fitted: 1) With explanatory variables only, boral fits independent column Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) to each column of the response matrix; 2) With latent variables only, boral fits a purely latent variable model for model-based unconstrained ordination; 3) With explanatory and latent variables, boral fits correlated column GLMs with latent variables to account for any residual correlation between the columns of the response matrix.

Fetches zonal statistics from weather indicators that were calculated for each municipality in Brazil using data from the BR-DWGD and TerraClimate projects. Zonal statistics such as mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, and sum were computed by taking into account the data cells that intersect the boundaries of each municipality and stored in Parquet files. This procedure was carried out for all Brazilian municipalities, and for all available dates, for every indicator available in the weather products (BR-DWGD and TerraClimate projects). This package queries on-line the already calculated statistics on the Parquet files and returns easy-to-use data.frames.

The Super Imposition by Translation and Rotation (SITAR) model is a shape-invariant nonlinear mixed effect model that fits a natural cubic spline mean curve to the growth data and aligns individual-specific growth curves to the underlying mean curve via a set of random effects (see Cole, 2010 <doi:10.1093/ije/dyq115> for details). The non-Bayesian version of the SITAR model can be fit by using the already available R package sitar'. Unlike the sitar package which allows modelling of a single outcome only, the bsitar package offers great flexibility in fitting models of varying complexities, including joint modelling of multiple outcomes such as height and weight (multivariate model). Additionally, the bsitar package allows for the simultaneous analysis of an outcome separately for subgroups defined by a factor variable such as gender. This is achieved by fitting separate models for each subgroup (for example males and females for gender variable). An advantage of this approach is that posterior draws for each subgroup are part of a single model object, making it possible to compare coefficients across subgroups and test hypotheses. Since the bsitar package is a front-end to the R package brms', it offers excellent support for post-processing of posterior draws via various functions that are directly available from the brms package. In addition, the bsitar package includes various customized functions that allow for the visualization of distance (increase in size with age) and velocity (change in growth rate as a function of age), as well as the estimation of growth spurt parameters such as age at peak growth velocity and peak growth velocity.

This package provides an R interface for the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) API (see <http://www.bea.gov/API/bea_web_service_api_user_guide.htm> for more information) that serves two core purposes - 1. To Extract/Transform/Load data [beaGet()] from the BEA API as R-friendly formats in the user's work space [transformation done by default in beaGet() can be modified using optional parameters; see, too, bea2List(), bea2Tab()]. 2. To enable the search of descriptive meta data [beaSearch()]. Other features of the library exist mainly as intermediate methods or are in early stages of development. Important Note - You must have an API key to use this library. Register for a key at <http://www.bea.gov/API/signup/index.cfm> .

Shows statistics about bytes contained in a file as a circle graph of deviations from mean in sigma increments. The function can be useful for statistically analyze the content of files in a glimpse: text files are shown as a green centered crown, compressed and encrypted files should be shown as equally distributed variations with a very low CV (sigma/mean), and other types of files can be classified between these two categories depending on their text vs binary content, which can be useful to quickly determine how information is stored inside them (databases, multimedia files, etc).
