This package provides a function for fitting Poisson and negative binomial regression models when the number of parameters exceeds the sample size, using the the generalized monotone incremental forward stagewise method.

This package provides a tool that imports, subsets, visualizes, and exports the Correlates of State Policy Project dataset assembled by Marty P. Jordan and Matt Grossmann (2020) <http://ippsr.msu.edu/public-policy/correlates-state-policy>. The Correlates data contains over 2000 variables across more than 100 years that pertain to state politics and policy in the United States. Users with only a basic understanding of R can subset this data across multiple dimensions, export their search results, create map visualizations, export the citations associated with their searches, and more.

Access Cloudstor via their WebDAV API. This package can read, write, and navigate Cloudstor from R.

In discrimination experiments candidates are sent on the same test (e.g. job, house rental) and one examines whether they receive the same outcome. The number of non negative answers are first examined in details looking for outcome differences. Then various statistics are computed. This package can also be used for analyzing the results from random experiments.

Cluster analysis is performed using pairwise distance information and a random partition distribution. The method is implemented for two random partition distributions. It draws samples and then obtains and plots clustering estimates. An implementation of a selection algorithm is provided for the mass parameter of the partition distribution. Since pairwise distances are the principal input to this procedure, it is most comparable to the hierarchical and k-medoids clustering methods. The method is Dahl, Andros, Carter (2022+) <doi:10.1002/sam.11602>.

CLUster Evaluation (CLUE) is a computational method for identifying optimal number of clusters in a given time-course dataset clustered by cmeans or kmeans algorithms and subsequently identify key kinases or pathways from each cluster.

Additionally, the package allows to project the two-dimensional fractal on several three-dimensional surfaces and to transform the fractal into another fractal with uniform marginals.

This package contains functions to help in selecting and exploring features ( or variables ) in binary classification problems. Provides functions to compute and display information value and weight of evidence (WoE) of the variables , and to convert numeric variables to categorical variables by binning. Functions are also provided to determine which levels ( or categories ) of a categorical variable can be collapsed (or combined ) based on their response rates. The functions provided only work for binary classification problems.

This package provides useful tools for cognitive diagnosis modeling (CDM). The package includes functions for empirical Q-matrix estimation and validation, such as the Hull method (Nájera, Sorrel, de la Torre, & Abad, 2021, <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12228>) and the discrete factor loading method (Wang, Song, & Ding, 2018, <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-77249-3_29>). It also contains dimensionality assessment procedures for CDM, including parallel analysis and automated fit comparison as explored in Nájera, Abad, and Sorrel (2021, <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2021.614470>). Other relevant methods and features for CDM applications, such as the restricted DINA model (Nájera et al., 2023; <doi:10.3102/10769986231158829>), the general nonparametric classification method (Chiu et al., 2018; <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9595-4>), and corrected estimation of the classification accuracy via multiple imputation (Kreitchmann et al., 2022; <doi:10.3758/s13428-022-01967-5>) are also available. Lastly, the package provides some useful functions for CDM simulation studies, such as random Q-matrix generation and detection of complete/identified Q-matrices.

Collective matrix factorization (a.k.a. multi-view or multi-way factorization, Singh, Gordon, (2008) <doi:10.1145/1401890.1401969>) tries to approximate a (potentially very sparse or having many missing values) matrix X as the product of two low-dimensional matrices, optionally aided with secondary information matrices about rows and/or columns of X', which are also factorized using the same latent components. The intended usage is for recommender systems, dimensionality reduction, and missing value imputation. Implements extensions of the original model (Cortes, (2018) <arXiv:1809.00366>) and can produce different factorizations such as the weighted implicit-feedback model (Hu, Koren, Volinsky, (2008) <doi:10.1109/ICDM.2008.22>), the weighted-lambda-regularization model, (Zhou, Wilkinson, Schreiber, Pan, (2008) <doi:10.1007/978-3-540-68880-8_32>), or the enhanced model with implicit features (Rendle, Zhang, Koren, (2019) <arXiv:1905.01395>), with or without side information. Can use gradient-based procedures or alternating-least squares procedures (Koren, Bell, Volinsky, (2009) <doi:10.1109/MC.2009.263>), with either a Cholesky solver, a faster conjugate gradient solver (Takacs, Pilaszy, Tikk, (2011) <doi:10.1145/2043932.2043987>), or a non-negative coordinate descent solver (Franc, Hlavac, Navara, (2005) <doi:10.1007/11556121_50>), providing efficient methods for sparse and dense data, and mixtures thereof. Supports L1 and L2 regularization in the main models, offers alternative most-popular and content-based models, and implements functionality for cold-start recommendations and imputation of 2D data.

This package provides a comprehensive toolkit for generating continuous test norms in psychometrics and biometrics, and analyzing model fit. The package offers both distribution-free modeling using Taylor polynomials and parametric modeling using the beta-binomial and the Sinh-Arcsinh distribution. Originally developed for achievement tests, it is applicable to a wide range of mental, physical, or other test scores dependent on continuous or discrete explanatory variables. The package provides several advantages: It minimizes deviations from representativeness in subsamples, interpolates between discrete levels of explanatory variables, and significantly reduces the required sample size compared to conventional norming per age group. cNORM enables graphical and analytical evaluation of model fit, accommodates a wide range of scales including those with negative and descending values, and even supports conventional norming. It generates norm tables including confidence intervals. It also includes methods for addressing representativeness issues through Iterative Proportional Fitting. Based on Lenhard et al.
