This package provides methods for difference-in-differences with a continuous treatment and staggered treatment adoption. Includes estimation of treatment effects and causal responses as a function of the dose, event studies indexed by length of exposure to the treatment, and aggregation into overall average effects. Uniform inference procedures are included, along with both parametric and nonparametric models for treatment effects. The methods are based on Callaway, Goodman-Bacon, and Sant'Anna (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2107.02637>.

Returns an edit-distance based clusterization of an input vector of strings. Each cluster will contain a set of strings w/ small mutual edit-distance (e.g., Levenshtein, optimum-sequence-alignment, Damerau-Levenshtein), as computed by stringdist::stringdist(). The set of all mutual edit-distances is then used by graph algorithms (from package igraph') to single out subsets of high connectivity.

An R implementation of the Average Marginal Component-specific Effects (AMCE) estimator presented in Hainmueller, J., Hopkins, D., and Yamamoto T. (2014) <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpt024> Causal Inference in Conjoint Analysis: Understanding Multi-Dimensional Choices via Stated Preference Experiments. Political Analysis 22(1):1-30.

Fit Cox proportional hazards models containing both fixed and random effects. The random effects can have a general form, of which familial interactions (a "kinship" matrix) is a particular special case. Note that the simplest case of a mixed effects Cox model, i.e. a single random per-group intercept, is also called a "frailty" model. The approach is based on Ripatti and Palmgren, Biometrics 2002.

The number of bird or bat fatalities from collisions with buildings, towers or wind energy turbines can be estimated based on carcass searches and experimentally assessed carcass persistence times and searcher efficiency. Functions for estimating the probability that a bird or bat that died is found by a searcher are provided. Further functions calculate the posterior distribution of the number of fatalities based on the number of carcasses found and the estimated detection probability.

DNA copy number data evaluation using both their initial form (copy number as a noisy function of genomic position) and their approximation by a piecewise-constant function (segmentation), for the purpose of identifying genomic regions where the copy number differs from the norm.

This package provides a set of functions for counterfactual decomposition (cfdecomp). The functions available in this package decompose differences in an outcome attributable to a mediating variable (or sets of mediating variables) between groups based on counterfactual (causal inference) theory. By using Monte Carlo (MC) integration (simulations based on empirical estimates from multivariable models) we provide added flexibility compared to existing (analytical) approaches, at the cost of computational power or time. The added flexibility means that we can decompose difference between groups in any outcome or and with any mediator (any variable type and distribution). See Sudharsanan & Bijlsma (2019) <doi:10.4054/MPIDR-WP-2019-004> for more information.

Account for uncertainty when working with ranks. Estimate standard errors consistently in linear regression with ranked variables. Construct confidence sets of various kinds for positions of populations in a ranking based on values of a certain feature and their estimation errors. Theory based on Mogstad, Romano, Shaikh, and Wilhelm (2023)<doi:10.1093/restud/rdad006> and Chetverikov and Wilhelm (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2310.15512>.

This package provides a Bayesian approach to using predictive probability in an ANOVA construct with a continuous normal response, when threshold values must be obtained for the question of interest to be evaluated as successful (Sieck and Christensen (2021) <doi:10.1002/qre.2802>). The Bayesian Mission Mean (BMM) is used to evaluate a question of interest (that is, a mean that randomly selects combination of factor levels based on their probability of occurring instead of averaging over the factor levels, as in the grand mean). Under this construct, in contrast to a Gibbs sampler (or Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler), a two-stage sampling method is required. The nested sampler determines the conditional posterior distribution of the model parameters, given Y, and the outside sampler determines the marginal posterior distribution of Y (also commonly called the predictive distribution for Y). This approach provides a sample from the joint posterior distribution of Y and the model parameters, while also accounting for the threshold value that must be obtained in order for the question of interest to be evaluated as successful.

Computes a confidence interval for a specified linear combination of the regression parameters in a linear regression model with iid normal errors with unknown variance when there is uncertain prior information that a distinct specified linear combination of the regression parameters takes a specified number. This confidence interval, found by numerical nonlinear constrained optimization, has the required minimum coverage and utilizes this uncertain prior information through desirable expected length properties. This confidence interval is proposed by Kabaila, P. and Giri, K. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2009.03.018>.

Computes a confidence interval for a specified linear combination of the regression parameters in a linear regression model with iid normal errors with known variance when there is uncertain prior information that a distinct specified linear combination of the regression parameters takes a given value. This confidence interval, found by numerical nonlinear constrained optimization, has the required minimum coverage and utilizes this uncertain prior information through desirable expected length properties. This confidence interval has the following three practical applications. Firstly, if the error variance has been accurately estimated from previous data then it may be treated as being effectively known. Secondly, for sufficiently large (dimension of the response vector) minus (dimension of regression parameter vector), greater than or equal to 30 (say), if we replace the assumed known value of the error variance by its usual estimator in the formula for the confidence interval then the resulting interval has, to a very good approximation, the same coverage probability and expected length properties as when the error variance is known. Thirdly, some more complicated models can be approximated by the linear regression model with error variance known when certain unknown parameters are replaced by estimates. This confidence interval is described in Mainzer, R. and Kabaila, P. (2019) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2019-026>, and is a member of the family of confidence intervals proposed by Kabaila, P. and Giri, K. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2009.03.018>.

This package performs adjustments of a user-supplied independence loglikelihood function using a robust sandwich estimator of the parameter covariance matrix, based on the methodology in Chandler and Bate (2007) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asm015>. This can be used for cluster correlated data when interest lies in the parameters of the marginal distributions or for performing inferences that are robust to certain types of model misspecification. Functions for profiling the adjusted loglikelihoods are also provided, as are functions for calculating and plotting confidence intervals, for single model parameters, and confidence regions, for pairs of model parameters. Nested models can be compared using an adjusted likelihood ratio test.
