Estimation of interaction (i.e., moderation) effects between latent variables in structural equation models (SEM). The supported methods are: The constrained approach (Algina & Moulder, 2001). The unconstrained approach (Marsh et al., 2004). The residual centering approach (Little et al., 2006). The double centering approach (Lin et al., 2010). The latent moderated structural equations (LMS) approach (Klein & Moosbrugger, 2000). The quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) approach (Klein & Muthén, 2007) The constrained- unconstrained, residual- and double centering- approaches are estimated via lavaan (Rosseel, 2012), whilst the LMS- and QML- approaches are estimated via modsem it self. Alternatively model can be estimated via Mplus (Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2017). References: Algina, J., & Moulder, B. C. (2001). <doi:10.1207/S15328007SEM0801_3>.

This package provides a causal mediation framework for single-cell data that incorporates two key features ('MedZIsc', pronounced Magics): (1) zero-inflation using beta regression and (2) overdispersed expression counts using negative binomial regression. This approach also includes a screening step based on penalized and marginal models to handle high-dimensionality. Full methodological details are available in our recent preprint by Ahn S and Li Z (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.22986>.

This package provides tools for econometric production analysis with the Symmetric Normalized Quadratic (SNQ) profit function, e.g. estimation, imposing convexity in prices, and calculating elasticities and shadow prices.

This package provides several classifiers based on probabilistic models. These classifiers allow to model the dependence structure of continuous features through bivariate copula functions and graphical models, see Salinas-Gutiérrez et al. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s00180-013-0457-y>.

The base apply function and its variants, as well as the related functions in the plyr package, typically apply user-defined functions to a single argument (or a list of vectorized arguments in the case of mapply). The multiApply package extends this paradigm with its only function, Apply, which efficiently applies functions taking one or a list of multiple unidimensional or multidimensional arrays (or combinations thereof) as input. The input arrays can have different numbers of dimensions as well as different dimension lengths, and the applied function can return one or a list of unidimensional or multidimensional arrays as output. This saves development time by preventing the R user from writing often error-prone and memory-inefficient loops dealing with multiple complex arrays. Also, a remarkable feature of Apply is the transparent use of multi-core through its parameter ncores'. In contrast to the base apply function, this package suggests the use of target dimensions as opposite to the margins for specifying the dimensions relevant to the function to be applied.

Multi-penalty linear, logistic and cox ridge regression, including estimation of the penalty parameters by efficient (repeated) cross-validation and marginal likelihood maximization. Multiple high-dimensional data types that require penalization are allowed, as well as unpenalized variables. Paired and preferential data types can be specified. See Van de Wiel et al. (2021), <arXiv:2005.09301>.

References: Le, Stanford, Dumuid, and Wiley (2025) <doi:10.1037/met0000750>, Le, Dumuid, Stanford, and Wiley (2025) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2025.2565598>.

This package provides methods to estimate serial intervals and time-varying case reproduction numbers from infectious disease outbreak data. Serial intervals measure the time between symptom onset in linked transmission pairs, while case reproduction numbers quantify how many secondary cases each infected individual generates over time. These parameters are essential for understanding transmission dynamics, evaluating control measures, and informing public health responses. The package implements the maximum likelihood framework from Vink et al. (2014) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwu209> for serial interval estimation and the retrospective method from Wallinga & Lipsitch (2007) <doi:10.1098/rspb.2006.3754> for reproduction number estimation. Originally developed for scabies transmission analysis but applicable to other infectious diseases including influenza, COVID-19, and emerging pathogens. Designed for epidemiologists, public health researchers, and infectious disease modelers working with outbreak surveillance data.

This package provides an extension to MadanText for creating and analyzing co-occurrence networks in Persian text data. This package mainly makes use of the PersianStemmer (Safshekan, R., et al. (2019). <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=PersianStemmer>), udpipe (Wijffels, J., et al. (2023). <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=udpipe>), and shiny (Chang, W., et al.

Offering enhanced statistical power compared to traditional hypothesis testing methods, informative hypothesis testing allows researchers to explicitly model their expectations regarding the relationships among parameters. An important software tool for this framework is restriktor'. The mmirestriktor package provides shiny web applications to implement some of the basic functionality of restriktor'. The mmirestriktor() function launches a shiny application for fitting and analyzing models with constraints. The FbarCards() function launches a card game application which can help build intuition about informative hypothesis testing. The iht_interpreter() helps interpret informative hypothesis testing results based on guidelines in Vanbrabant and Rosseel (2020) <doi:10.4324/9780429273872-14>.

The package provides functionality for learning univariate, multivariate and conditional densities, with the possibility of incorporating prior knowledge. Structural learning of hybrid Bayesian networks is also provided. A set of useful tools is provided, including plotting, printing and likelihood evaluation.

This package is deprecated. Please use redatamx instead. Provides an API to work with Redatam (see <https://redatam.org>) databases in both formats: RXDB (new format) and DICX (old format) and running Redatam programs written in SPC language. It's a wrapper around Redatam core and provides functions to open/close a database (redatam_open()/redatam_close()), list entities and variables from the database (redatam_entities(), redatam_variables()) and execute a SPC program and gets the results as data frames (redatam_query(), redatam_run()).

Inference of a multi-states birth-death model from a phylogeny, comprising a number of states N, birth and death rates for each state and on which edges each state appears. Inference is done using a hybrid approach: states are progressively added in a greedy approach. For a fixed number of states N the best model is selected via maximum likelihood. Reference: J. Barido-Sottani, T. G. Vaughan and T. Stadler (2018) <doi:10.1098/rsif.2018.0512>.
