The reliability of assessment tools is a crucial aspect of monitoring student performance in various educational settings. It ensures that the assessment outcomes accurately reflect a student's true level of performance. However, when assessments are combined, determining composite reliability can be challenging, especially for naturalistic and unbalanced datasets. This package provides an easy-to-use solution for calculating composite reliability for different assessment types. It allows for the inclusion of weight per assessment type and produces extensive G- and D-study results with graphical interpretations. Overall, our approach enhances the reliability of composite assessments, making it suitable for various education contexts.

Tool to assessing whether the results of a study could be influenced by collinearity. Simulations under a given hypothesized truth regarding effects of an exposure on the outcome are used and the resulting curves of lagged effects are visualized. A user's manual is provided, which includes detailed examples (e.g. a cohort study looking for windows of vulnerability to air pollution, a time series study examining the linear association of air pollution with hospital admissions, and a time series study examining the non-linear association between temperature and mortality). The methods are described in Basagana and Barrera-Gomez (2021) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyab179>.

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.

This package provides a uniform statistical inferential tool in making individualized treatment decisions, which implements the methods of Ma et al. (2017)<DOI:10.1177/0962280214541724> and Guo et al. (2021)<DOI:10.1080/01621459.2020.1865167>. It uses a flexible semiparametric modeling strategy for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation in high-dimensional settings and can gave valid confidence bands. Based on it, one can find the subgroups of patients that benefit from each treatment, thereby making individualized treatment selection.

Agreement of continuously scaled measurements made by two techniques, devices or methods is usually evaluated by the well-established Bland-Altman analysis or plot. Conditional method agreement trees (COAT), proposed by Karapetyan, Zeileis, Henriksen, and Hapfelmeier (2025) <doi:10.1093/jrsssc/qlae077>, embed the Bland-Altman analysis in the framework of recursive partitioning to explore heterogeneous method agreement in dependence of covariates. COAT can also be used to perform a Bland-Altman test for differences in method agreement.

Method for fitting a cellwise robust linear M-regression model (CRM, Filzmoser et al. (2020) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2020.106944>) that yields both a map of cellwise outliers consistent with the linear model, and a vector of regression coefficients that is robust against vertical outliers and leverage points. As a by-product, the method yields an imputed data set that contains estimates of what the values in cellwise outliers would need to amount to if they had fit the model. The package also provides diagnostic tools for analyzing casewise and cellwise outliers using sparse directions of maximal outlyingness (SPADIMO, Debruyne et al. (2019) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-018-9831-5>).

Statistical downscaling and bias correction of climate predictions. It includes implementations of commonly used methods such as Analogs, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, and Bias Correction techniques, as well as interpolation functions for regridding and point-based applications. It facilitates the production of high-resolution and local-scale climate information from coarse-scale predictions, which is essential for impact analyses. The package can be applied in a wide range of sectors and studies, including agriculture, water management, energy, heatwaves, and other climate-sensitive applications. The package was developed within the framework of the European Union Horizon Europe projects Impetus4Change (101081555) and ASPECT (101081460), the Wellcome Trust supported HARMONIZE project (224694/Z/21/Z), and the Spanish national project BOREAS (PID2022-140673OA-I00).

These statistics are fundamental in various fields, such as cluster analysis, classification, and other applications of machine learning and data mining, where assessing similarity or dissimilarity between data is crucial. The package is designed to be flexible and easily integrated into data analysis workflows, providing reliable tools for evaluating distances in multidimensional contexts.

Google's Compact Language Detector 3 is a neural network model for language identification and the successor of cld2 (available from CRAN). The algorithm is still experimental and takes a novel approach to language detection with different properties and outcomes. It can be useful to combine this with the Bayesian classifier results from cld2'. See <https://github.com/google/cld3#readme> for more information.

With this package you can run ConMET locally in R. ConMET is an R-shiny application that facilitates performing and evaluating confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) and is useful for running and reporting typical measurement models in applied psychology and management journals. ConMET automatically creates, compares and summarizes CFA models. Most common fit indices (E.g., CFI and SRMR) are put in an overview table. ConMET also allows to test for common method variance. The application is particularly useful for teaching and instruction of measurement issues in survey research. The application uses the lavaan package (Rosseel, 2012) to run CFAs.

Fit flexible and fully parametric hazard regression models to survival data with single event type or multiple competing causes via logistic and multinomial regression. Our formulation allows for arbitrary functional forms of time and its interactions with other predictors for time-dependent hazards and hazard ratios. From the fitted hazard model, we provide functions to readily calculate and plot cumulative incidence and survival curves for a given covariate profile. This approach accommodates any log-linear hazard function of prognostic time, treatment, and covariates, and readily allows for non-proportionality. We also provide a plot method for visualizing incidence density via population time plots. Based on the case-base sampling approach of Hanley and Miettinen (2009) <DOI:10.2202/1557-4679.1125>, Saarela and Arjas (2015) <DOI:10.1111/sjos.12125>, and Saarela (2015) <DOI:10.1007/s10985-015-9352-x>.
