Given a patient-sharing network, calculate either the classic care density as proposed by Pollack et al. (2013) <doi:10.1007/s11606-012-2104-7> or the fragmented care density as proposed by Engels et al. (2024) <doi:10.1186/s12874-023-02106-0>. By utilizing the igraph and data.table packages, the provided functions scale well for very large graphs.

This package provides a database of Chinese surnames and given names (1930-2008). This database contains nationwide frequency statistics of 1,806 Chinese surnames and 2,614 Chinese characters used in given names, covering about 1.2 billion Han Chinese population (96.8 percent of the Han Chinese household-registered population born from 1930 to 2008 and still alive in 2008). This package also contains a function for computing multiple indices of Chinese surnames and given names for social science research (e.g., name uniqueness, name gender, name valence, and name warmth/competence). Details are provided at <https://psychbruce.github.io/ChineseNames/>.

The reliability of assessment tools is a crucial aspect of monitoring student performance in various educational settings. It ensures that the assessment outcomes accurately reflect a student's true level of performance. However, when assessments are combined, determining composite reliability can be challenging, especially for naturalistic and unbalanced datasets in nested design as is often the case for Workplace-Based Assessments. This package is designed to estimate composite reliability in nested designs using multivariate generalizability theory and enhance the analysis of assessment data. The package allows for the inclusion of weight per assessment type and produces extensive G- and D-study results with graphical interpretations, and options to find the set of weights that maximizes the composite reliability or minimizes the standard error of measurement (SEM).

Cuddy-Della valle index gives the degree of instability present in the data by accommodating the effect of a trend. The adjusted R squared value of the best fitted model is chosen. The index is obtained by multiplying the coefficient of variation with square root of one minus the adjusted R-squared value. This package has been developed using concept of Shankar et al. (2022)<doi:10.3389/fsufs.2023.1208898>.

Constrained randomization by Raab and Butcher (2001) <doi:10.1002/1097-0258(20010215)20:3%3C351::AID-SIM797%3E3.0.CO;2-C> is suitable for cluster randomized trials (CRTs) with a small number of clusters (e.g., 20 or fewer). The procedure of constrained randomization is based on the baseline values of some cluster-level covariates specified. The intervention effect on the individual outcome can then be analyzed through clustered permutation test introduced by Gail, et al. (1996) <doi:10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19960615)15:11%3C1069::AID-SIM220%3E3.0.CO;2-Q>. Motivated from Li, et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.7410>, the package performs constrained randomization on the baseline values of cluster-level covariates and clustered permutation test on the individual-level outcomes for cluster randomized trials.

Fits a constrained regression model for an ordinal response with ordinal predictors and possibly others, Espinosa and Hennig (2019) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-018-9842-2>. The parameter estimates associated with an ordinal predictor are constrained to be monotonic. If a monotonicity direction (isotonic or antitonic) is not specified for an ordinal predictor by the user, then one of the available methods will either establish it or drop the monotonicity assumption. Two monotonicity tests are also available to test the null hypothesis of monotonicity over a set of parameters associated with an ordinal predictor.

Implementation of the empirical method to derive log2 counts per million (CPM) cutoff to filter out lowly expressed genes using ERCC spike-ins as described in Goll and Bosinger et.al (2022)<doi:10.1101/2022.06.23.497396>. This package utilizes the synthetic mRNA control pairs developed by the External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC) (ERCC 1 / ERCC 2) that are spiked into sample pairs at known ratios at various absolute abundances. The relationship between the observed and expected fold changes is then used to empirically determine an optimal log2 CPM cutoff for filtering out lowly expressed genes.

This high-level API client provides open access to cryptocurrency market data, sentiment indicators, and interactive charting tools. The data is sourced from major cryptocurrency exchanges via curl and returned in xts'-format. The data comes in open, high, low, and close (OHLC) format with flexible granularity, ranging from seconds to months. This flexibility makes it ideal for developing and backtesting trading strategies or conducting detailed market analysis.

This is a pedagogical package, designed to help students understanding convergence of random variables. It provides a way to investigate interactively various modes of convergence (in probability, almost surely, in law and in mean) of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Visualisation of simulated sample paths is possible through interactive plots. The approach is illustrated by examples and exercises through the function investigate', as described in Lafaye de Micheaux and Liquet (2009) <doi:10.1198/tas.2009.0032>. The user can study his/her own sequences of random variables.

This method is based on an integrated simple additive weighting and compromise exponentially weighted product model.

The estimation of static and dynamic connectedness measures is created in a modular and user-friendly way. Besides, the time domain connectedness approaches, this package further allows to estimate the frequency connectedness approach, the joint spillover index and the extended joint connectedness approach. In addition, all connectedness frameworks can be based upon orthogonalized and generalized VAR, QVAR, LASSO VAR, Ridge VAR, Elastic Net VAR and TVP-VAR models. Furthermore, the package includes the conditional, decomposed and partial connectedness measures as well as the pairwise connectedness index, influence index and corrected total connectedness index. Finally, a battery of datasets are available allowing to replicate a variety of connectedness papers.
