This package provides a set of utility tools to inspect spatial objects, facilitate handling and reporting of topology errors and geometry validity issue with sp objects. Finally, it provides a geometry cleaner that will fix all geometry problems, and eliminate (at least reduce) the likelihood of having issues when doing spatial data processing.

Changing the name of an existing R package is annoying but common task especially in the early stages of package development. This package (mostly) automates this task.

This package provides tools for constructing, labeling, and visualizing Causal Assignment Trees (CATs) in settings with staggered adoption. Supports Callaway and Sant'Anna difference-in-differences (CSDiD) and doubly robust difference-in-difference-differences (DR-DDD) designs. The package helps clarify treatment timing, never-treated vs. not-yet-treated composition, and subgroup structure, and produces publication-quality diagrams and summary tables. Current functionality focuses on data-to-node mapping, node counts, cohort-year summaries, and high-quality tree plots suitable for empirical applications prior to estimation. Methods are based on Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.12.001>, Sant'Anna and Zhao (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2020.06.003>, and Kilanko (2026) <https://github.com/VictorKilanko/catviz>.

This package implements the covariate balancing propensity score (CBPS) proposed by Imai and Ratkovic (2014) <DOI:10.1111/rssb.12027>. The propensity score is estimated such that it maximizes the resulting covariate balance as well as the prediction of treatment assignment. The method, therefore, avoids an iteration between model fitting and balance checking. The package also implements optimal CBPS from Fan et al. (in-press) <DOI:10.1080/07350015.2021.2002159>, several extensions of the CBPS beyond the cross-sectional, binary treatment setting. They include the CBPS for longitudinal settings so that it can be used in conjunction with marginal structural models from Imai and Ratkovic (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2014.956872>, treatments with three- and four-valued treatment variables, continuous-valued treatments from Fong, Hazlett, and Imai (2018) <DOI:10.1214/17-AOAS1101>, propensity score estimation with a large number of covariates from Ning, Peng, and Imai (2020) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asaa020>, and the situation with multiple distinct binary treatments administered simultaneously. In the future it will be extended to other settings including the generalization of experimental and instrumental variable estimates.

Fits emulators, also known as surrogates or response surfaces, using conformal inference with random forests. The conformal calibration is performed using out-of-bag samples from the forest, eliminating the need for a separate hold-out set. The method is based on Johansson et al. (2014 <doi:10.1007/s10994-014-5453-0>).

This package provides estimation procedures for copula-based stochastic frontier models for cross-sectional data. The package implements maximum likelihood estimation of stochastic frontier models allowing flexible dependence structures between inefficiency and noise terms through various copula families (e.g., Gaussian and Student-t). It enables estimation of technical efficiency scores, log-likelihood values, and information criteria (AIC and BIC). The implemented framework builds upon stochastic frontier analysis introduced by Aigner, Lovell and Schmidt (1977) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(77)90052-5> and the copula theory described in Joe (2014, ISBN:9781466583221). Empirical applications of copula-based stochastic frontier models can be found in Wiboonpongse et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ijar.2015.06.001> and Maneejuk et al. (2017, ISBN:9783319562176).

Univariate and multivariate temporal and spatial diversity indices, rank abundance curves, and community stability measures. The functions implement measures that are either explicitly temporal and include the option to calculate them over multiple replicates, or spatial and include the option to calculate them over multiple time points. Functions fall into five categories: static diversity indices, temporal diversity indices, spatial diversity indices, rank abundance curves, and community stability measures. The diversity indices are temporal and spatial analogs to traditional diversity indices. Specifically, the package includes functions to calculate community richness, evenness and diversity at a given point in space and time. In addition, it contains functions to calculate species turnover, mean rank shifts, and lags in community similarity between two time points. Details of the methods are available in Hallett et al. (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12569> and Avolio et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.2881>.

The network analysis plays an important role in numerous application domains including biomedicine. Estimation of the number of communities is a fundamental and critical issue in network analysis. Most existing studies assume that the number of communities is known a priori, or lack of rigorous theoretical guarantee on the estimation consistency. This method proposes a regularized network embedding model to simultaneously estimate the community structure and the number of communities in a unified formulation. The proposed model equips network embedding with a novel composite regularization term, which pushes the embedding vector towards its center and collapses similar community centers with each other. A rigorous theoretical analysis is conducted, establishing asymptotic consistency in terms of community detection and estimation of the number of communities. Reference: Ren, M., Zhang S. and Wang J. (2022). "Consistent Estimation of the Number of Communities via Regularized Network Embedding". Biometrics, <doi:10.1111/biom.13815>.

It aims to find significant pathways through network topology information. It has several advantages compared with current pathway enrichment tools. First, pathway node instead of single gene is taken as the basic unit when analysing networks to meet the fact that genes must be constructed into complexes to hold normal functions. Second, multiple network centrality measures are applied simultaneously to measure importance of nodes from different aspects to make a full view on the biological system. CePa extends standard pathway enrichment methods, which include both over-representation analysis procedure and gene-set analysis procedure. <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btt008>.
