This package provides a comprehensive toolkit for Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) analysis. Provides functions for creating adjacency matrices from various input formats including SSIM (Structural Self-Interaction Matrix), computing reachability matrices using Warshall's algorithm, performing hierarchical level partitioning, MICMAC (Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification) analysis, and visualizing ISM structures through both static and interactive diagrams. ISM is a methodology for identifying and summarizing relationships among specific elements which define an issue or problem, as described in Warfield (1974) <doi:10.1109/TSMC.1974.5408524>.

This package provides a modified version of alternating logistic regressions (ALR) with estimation based on orthogonalized residuals (ORTH) is implemented, which use paired estimating equations to jointly estimate parameters in marginal mean and within-association models. The within-cluster association between ordinal responses is modeled by global pairwise odds ratios (POR). A finite-sample bias correction is provided to POR parameter estimates based on matrix multiplicative adjusted orthogonalized residuals (MMORTH) for correcting estimating equations, and different bias-corrected variance estimators such as BC1, BC2, and BC3.

Examines the characteristics of a data frame and a formula to automatically choose the most suitable type of plot out of the following supported options: scatter, violin, box, bar, density, hexagon bin, spine plot, and heat map. The aim of the package is to let the user focus on what to plot, rather than on the "how" during exploratory data analysis. It also automates handling of observation weights, logarithmic axis scaling, reordering of factor levels, and overlaying smoothing curves and median lines. Plots are drawn using ggplot2'.

Using the Bayesian state-space approach, we developed a continuous development model to quantify dynamic incremental changes in the response variable. While the model was originally developed for daily changes in forest green-up, the model can be used to predict any similar process. The CDM can capture both timing and rate of nonlinear processes. Unlike statics methods, which aggregate variations into a single metric, our dynamic model tracks the changing impacts over time. The CDM accommodates nonlinear responses to variation in predictors, which changes throughout development.

This package infers the trends of one or several animal populations over time from series of counts. It does so by accounting for count precision (provided or inferred based on expert knowledge, e.g. guesstimates), smoothing the population rate of increase over time, and accounting for the maximum demographic potential of species. Inference is carried out in a Bayesian framework.

Assists in the TOPSIS analysis process, designed to return at the end of the answer of the TOPSIS multicriteria analysis, a ranking table with the best option as the analysis proposes. TOPSIS is basically a technique developed by Hwang and Yoon in 1981, starting from the point that the best alternative should be closest to the positive ideal solution and farthest from the negative one, based on several criteria to result in the best benefit. (LIU, H. et al., 2019) <doi:10.1016/j.agwat.2019.105787>.

This is a package to provide infrastructure for managing package parameters. Parameters are easy to get in relevant functions within a package, and rrror is thrown if a parameter is missing. Developers are able to register parameters and set their default value in a config file that is part of the package in YAML format, and users are able to override parameters using their own YAML. Users get an exception when trying to override a parameter that was not registered, and can load multiple parameters to the current environment.

Estimate the lower and upper bound of asymptomatic cases in an epidemic using the capture/recapture methods from Böhning et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.ijid.2020.06.009> and Rocchetti et al. (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.07.14.20153445>. Note there is currently some discussion about the validity of the methods implemented in this package. You should read carefully the original articles, alongside this answer from Li et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2209.11334> before using this package in your project.

Simulating and estimating peer effect models and network formation models. The class of peer effect models includes linear-in-means models (Lee, 2004; <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00558.x>), Tobit models (Xu and Lee, 2015; <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2015.05.004>), and discrete numerical data models (Houndetoungan, 2025; <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2405.17290>). The network formation models include pair-wise regressions with degree heterogeneity (Graham, 2017; <doi:10.3982/ECTA12679>) and exponential random graph models (Mele, 2017; <doi:10.3982/ECTA10400>).

Linear or nonlinear cross-lagged panel model can be built from input data. Users can choose the appropriate method from three methods for constructing nonlinear cross lagged models. These three methods include polynomial regression, generalized additive model and generalized linear mixed model.In addition, a function for determining linear relationships is provided. Relevant knowledge of cross lagged models can be learned through the paper by Fredrik Falkenström (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.cpr.2024.102435> and the paper by A Gasparrini (2010) <doi:10.1002/sim.3940>.

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, 2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v115.i05>.

The Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Prescription Medicines (ARGPM), guidance on "Stability testing for prescription medicines", recommends to predict the shelf life of chemically derived medicines from stability data by taking the worst case situation at batch release into account. Consequently, if a change over time is observed, a release limit needs to be specified. Finding a release limit and the associated shelf life is supported, as well as the standard approach that is recommended by guidance Q1E "Evaluation of stability data" from the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH).

This package provides a straightforward interface for accessing the IMF (International Monetary Fund) data JSON API, available at <https://data.imf.org/>. This package offers direct access to the primary API endpoints: Dataflow, DataStructure, and CompactData. And, it provides an intuitive interface for exploring available dimensions and attributes, as well as querying individual time-series datasets. Additionally, the package implements a rate limit on API calls to reduce the chances of exceeding service limits (limited to 10 calls every 5 seconds) and encountering response errors.

Allows the user to estimate a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model via maximum log-likelihood or nonlinear least squares. It further permits to test for linearity in the multivariate framework against a vector logistic smooth transition autoregressive model with a single transition variable. The estimation method is discussed in Terasvirta and Yang (2014, <doi:10.1108/S0731-9053(2013)0000031008>). Also, realized covariances can be constructed from stock market prices or returns, as explained in Andersen et al. (2001, <doi:10.1016/S0304-405X(01)00055-1>).

Preview spatial data as leaflet maps with minimal effort. smartmap is optimized for interactive use and distinguishes itself from similar packages because it does not need real spatial ('sp or sf') objects an input; instead, it tries to automatically coerce everything that looks like spatial data to sf objects or leaflet maps. It - for example - supports direct mapping of: a vector containing a single coordinate pair, a two column matrix, a data.frame with longitude and latitude columns, or the path or URL to a (possibly compressed) shapefile'.

Characterisation of the extremal dependence structure of time series, avoiding pre-processing and filtering as done typically with peaks-over-threshold methods. It uses the conditional approach of Heffernan and Tawn (2004) <DOI:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2004.02050.x> which is very flexible in terms of extremal and asymptotic dependence structures, and Bayesian methods improve efficiency and allow for deriving measures of uncertainty. For example, the extremal index, related to the size of clusters in time, can be estimated and samples from its posterior distribution obtained.
