Computations for approximations and alternatives for the DPQ (Density (pdf), Probability (cdf) and Quantile) functions for probability distributions in R. Primary focus is on (central and non-central) beta, gamma and related distributions such as the chi-squared, F, and t. -- For several distribution functions, provide functions implementing formulas from Johnson, Kotz, and Kemp (1992) <doi:10.1002/bimj.4710360207> and Johnson, Kotz, and Balakrishnan (1995) for discrete or continuous distributions respectively. This is for the use of researchers in these numerical approximation implementations, notably for my own use in order to improve standard R pbeta(), qgamma(), ..., etc: '"dpq"'-functions.

Easy-to-use and efficient interface for Bayesian inference of complex panel (time series) data using dynamic multivariate panel models by Helske and Tikka (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.alcr.2024.100617>. The package supports joint modeling of multiple measurements per individual, time-varying and time-invariant effects, and a wide range of discrete and continuous distributions. Estimation of these dynamic multivariate panel models is carried out via Stan'. For an in-depth tutorial of the package, see (Tikka and Helske, 2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2302.01607>.

This package provides tools to simulate genetic distance matrices, align and compare them via multidimensional scaling (MDS) and Procrustes, and evaluate imputation with the Bootstrapping Evaluation for Structural Missingness Imputation (BESMI) framework. Methods align with Zhu et al. (2025) <doi:10.3389/fpls.2025.1543956> and the associated software resource Zhu (2025) <doi:10.26188/28602953>.

Intensive longitudinal data have become increasingly prevalent in various scientific disciplines. Many such data sets are noisy, multivariate, and multi-subject in nature. The change functions may also be continuous, or continuous but interspersed with periods of discontinuities (i.e., showing regime switches). The package dynr (Dynamic Modeling in R) is an R package that implements a set of computationally efficient algorithms for handling a broad class of linear and nonlinear discrete- and continuous-time models with regime-switching properties under the constraint of linear Gaussian measurement functions. The discrete-time models can generally take on the form of a state-space or difference equation model. The continuous-time models are generally expressed as a set of ordinary or stochastic differential equations. All estimation and computations are performed in C, but users are provided with the option to specify the model of interest via a set of simple and easy-to-learn model specification functions in R. Model fitting can be performed using single-subject time series data or multiple-subject longitudinal data. Ou, Hunter, & Chow (2019) <doi:10.32614%2FRJ-2019-012> provided a detailed introduction to the interface and more information on the algorithms.

This package provides a simple approach to measure political sophistication based on open-ended survey responses. Discursive sophistication captures the complexity of individual attitude expression by quantifying its relative size, range, and constraint. For more information on the measurement approach see: Kraft, Patrick W. 2023. "Women Also Know Stuff: Challenging the Gender Gap in Political Sophistication." American Political Science Review (forthcoming).

This package provides functions for reading DCP and CDF.bin files generated by the dChip software.

This package provides a simple way of fitting detection functions to distance sampling data for both line and point transects. Adjustment term selection, left and right truncation as well as monotonicity constraints and binning are supported. Abundance and density estimates can also be calculated (via a Horvitz-Thompson-like estimator) if survey area information is provided. See Miller et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v089.i01> for more information on methods and <https://distancesampling.org/resources/vignettes.html> for example analyses.

This package implements the daily based Morgan-Morgan-Finney (DMMF) soil erosion model (Choi et al., 2017 <doi:10.3390/w9040278>) for estimating surface runoff and sediment budgets from a field or a catchment on a daily basis.

This package provides a shiny application that enables the user to create a prototype UI, being able to drag and drop UI components before being able to save or download the equivalent R code.

Computes small-sample degrees of freedom adjustment for heteroskedasticity robust standard errors, and for clustered standard errors in linear regression. See Imbens and Kolesár (2016) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00552> for a discussion of these adjustments.

S4-classes and methods for distributions.

Access data sets for demonstrating or testing diagnostic classification models. Simulated data sets can be used to compare estimated model output to true data-generating values. Real data sets can be used to demonstrate real-world applications of diagnostic models.

Profiles datasets (collecting statistics and informative summaries about that data) on data frames and ODBC tables: maximum, minimum, mean, standard deviation, nulls, distinct values, data patterns, data/format frequencies.

Fit and explore Drift Diffusion Models (DDMs), a common tool in psychology for describing decision processes in simple tasks. It can handle both time-independent and time-dependent DDMs. You either choose prebuilt models or create your own, and the package takes care of model predictions and parameter estimation. Model predictions are derived via the numerical solutions provided by Richter, Ulrich, and Janczyk (2023, <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2023.102756>).

Allows users to quickly and easily describe data using common descriptive statistics.

Statistical hypothesis testing of pattern heterogeneity via differences in underlying distributions across multiple contingency tables. Five tests are included: the comparative chi-squared test (Song et al. 2014) <doi:10.1093/nar/gku086> (Zhang et al. 2015) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv358>, the Sharma-Song test (Sharma et al. 2021) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab240>, the heterogeneity test, the marginal-change test (Sharma et al. 2020) <doi:10.1145/3388440.3412485>, and the strength test (Sharma et al. 2020) <doi:10.1145/3388440.3412485>. Under the null hypothesis that row and column variables are statistically independent and joint distributions are equal, their test statistics all follow an asymptotically chi-squared distribution. A comprehensive type analysis categorizes the relation among the contingency tables into type null, 0, 1, and 2 (Sharma et al. 2020) <doi:10.1145/3388440.3412485>. They can identify heterogeneous patterns that differ in either the first order (marginal) or the second order (differential departure from independence). Second-order differences reveal more fundamental changes than first-order differences across heterogeneous patterns.

It contains functions to apply blockmodeling of signed (positive and negative weights are assigned to the links), one-mode and valued one-mode and two-mode (two sets of nodes are considered, e.g. employees and organizations) networks (Brusco et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/bmsp.12192>).

This package provides a system for analyzing descriptive representation, especially for comparing the composition of a political body to the population it represents. Users can compute the expected degree of representation for a body under a random sampling model, the expected degree of representation variability, as well as representation scores from observed political bodies.
