This package provides a recently proposed Bayesian BIN model disentangles the underlying processes that enable forecasters and forecasting methods to improve, decomposing forecasting accuracy into three components: bias, partial information, and noise. By describing the differences between two groups of forecasters, the model allows the user to carry out useful inference, such as calculating the posterior probabilities of the treatment reducing bias, diminishing noise, or increasing information. It also provides insight into how much tamping down bias and noise in judgment or enhancing the efficient extraction of valid information from the environment improves forecasting accuracy. This package provides easy access to the BIN model. For further information refer to the paper Ville A. Satopää, Marat Salikhov, Philip E. Tetlock, and Barbara Mellers (2021) "Bias, Information, Noise: The BIN Model of Forecasting" <doi:10.1287/mnsc.2020.3882>.

Allows access to data from the Brazilian Public Security Information System (SINESP) by state and municipality. It should be emphasized that the package only extracts the data and facilitates its manipulation in R. Therefore, its sole purpose is to support empirical research. All data credits belong to SINESP, an integrated information platform developed and maintained by the National Secretariat of Public Security (SENASP) of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. <https://www.gov.br/mj/pt-br/assuntos/sua-seguranca/seguranca-publica/sinesp-1>.

This package performs parametric mediation analysis using the Bayesian g-formula approach for binary and continuous outcomes. The methodology is based on Comment (2018) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.1285275> and a demonstration of its application can be found at Yimer et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2210.08499>.

Inflammation can affect many micronutrient biomarkers and can thus lead to incorrect diagnosis of individuals and to over- or under-estimate the prevalence of deficiency in a population. Biomarkers Reflecting Inflammation and Nutritional Determinants of Anemia (BRINDA) is a multi-agency and multi-country partnership designed to improve the interpretation of nutrient biomarkers in settings of inflammation and to generate context-specific estimates of risk factors for anemia (Suchdev (2016) <doi:10.3945/an.115.010215>). In the past few years, BRINDA published a series of papers to provide guidance on how to adjust micronutrient biomarkers, retinol binding protein, serum retinol, serum ferritin by Namaste (2020), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum zinc, serum and Red Blood Cell (RBC) folate, and serum B-12, using inflammation markers, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and/or C-Reactive Protein (CRP) by Namaste (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqaa141>, Rohner (2017) <doi:10.3945/ajcn.116.142232>, McDonald (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz304>, and Young (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz303>. The BRINDA inflammation adjustment method mainly focuses on Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) and Preschool-age Children (PSC); however, the general principle of the BRINDA method might apply to other population groups. The BRINDA R package is a user-friendly all-in-one R package that uses a series of functions to implement BRINDA adjustment method, as described above. The BRINDA R package will first carry out rigorous checks and provides users guidance to correct data or input errors (if they occur) prior to inflammation adjustments. After no errors are detected, the package implements the BRINDA inflammation adjustment for up to five micronutrient biomarkers, namely retinol-binding-protein, serum retinol, serum ferritin, sTfR, and serum zinc (when appropriate), using inflammation indicators of AGP and/or CRP for various population groups. Of note, adjustment for serum and RBC folate and serum B-12 is not included in the R package, since evidence shows that no adjustment is needed for these micronutrient biomarkers in either WRA or PSC groups (Young (2020) <doi:10.1093/ajcn/nqz303>).

Estimation of bifurcating autoregressive models of any order, p, BAR(p) as well as several types of bias correction for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Zhou and Basawa (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2005.04.024> and Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2020) <doi:10.1002/sta4.342>. Currently, the bias correction methods supported include bootstrap (single, double and fast-double) bias correction and linear-bias-function-based bias correction. Functions for generating and plotting bifurcating autoregressive data from any BAR(p) model are also included. This new version includes calculating several type of bias-corrected and -uncorrected confidence intervals for the least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameters as described in Elbayoumi and Mostafa (2023) <doi:10.6339/23-JDS1092>.

This package provides functions for downloading data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS; <https://www.bis.org/>) in Basel. Supported are only full datasets in (typically) CSV format. The package is lightweight and without dependencies; suggested packages are used only if data is to be transformed into particular data structures, for instance into zoo objects. Downloaded data can optionally be cached, to avoid repeated downloads of the same files.
