Covariance is of universal prevalence across various disciplines within statistics. We provide a rich collection of geometric and inferential tools for convenient analysis of covariance structures, topics including distance measures, mean covariance estimator, covariance hypothesis test for one-sample and two-sample cases, and covariance estimation. For an introduction to covariance in multivariate statistical analysis, see Schervish (1987) <doi:10.1214/ss/1177013111>.

In meta regression sometimes the studies have multiple effects that are correlated. For this reason cluster robust standard errors must be computed. However, since the clusters are unbalanced the wild bootstrap is suggested. See Oczkowski E. and Doucouliagos H. (2015). "Wine prices and quality ratings: a meta-regression analysis". American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 97(1): 103--121. <doi:10.1093/ajae/aau057> and Cameron A. C., Gelbach J. B. and Miller D. L. (2008).

There are diverse purposes such as biomarker confirmation, novel biomarker discovery, constructing predictive models, model-based prediction, and validation. It handles binary, continuous, and time-to-event outcomes at the sample or patient level. - Biomarker confirmation utilizes established functions like glm() from stats', coxph() from survival', surv_fit(), and ggsurvplot() from survminer'. - Biomarker discovery and variable selection are facilitated by three LASSO-related functions LASSO2(), LASSO_plus(), and LASSO2plus(), leveraging the glmnet R package with additional steps. - Eight versatile modeling functions are offered, each designed for predictive models across various outcomes and data types. 1) LASSO2(), LASSO_plus(), LASSO2plus(), and LASSO2_reg() perform variable selection using LASSO methods and construct predictive models based on selected variables. 2) XGBtraining() employs XGBoost for model building and is the only function not involving variable selection. 3) Functions like LASSO2_XGBtraining(), LASSOplus_XGBtraining(), and LASSO2plus_XGBtraining() combine LASSO-related variable selection with XGBoost for model construction. - All models support prediction and validation, requiring a testing dataset comparable to the training dataset. Additionally, the package introduces XGpred() for risk prediction based on survival data, with the XGpred_predict() function available for predicting risk groups in new datasets. The methodology is based on our new algorithms and various references: - Hastie et al. (1992, ISBN 0 534 16765-9), - Therneau et al. (2000, ISBN 0-387-98784-3), - Kassambara et al.

Monte Carlo simulation framework for different randomized clinical trial designs with a special emphasis on estimators based on covariate adjustment. The package implements regression-based covariate adjustment (Rosenblum & van der Laan (2010) <doi:10.2202/1557-4679.1138>) and a one-step estimator (Van Lancker et al (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.11150>) for trials with continuous, binary and count outcomes. The estimation of the minimum sample-size required to reach a specified statistical power for a given estimator uses bisection to find an initial rough estimate, followed by stochastic approximation (Robbins-Monro (1951) <doi:10.1214/aoms/1177729586>) to improve the estimate, and finally, a grid search to refine the estimate in the neighborhood of the current best solution.

This package provides a companion package to cmstatr <https://cran.r-project.org/package=cmstatr>. cmstatr contains statistical methods that are published in the Composite Materials Handbook, Volume 1 (2012, ISBN: 978-0-7680-7811-4), while cmstatrExt contains statistical methods that are not included in that handbook.

Threshold regression models are also called two-phase regression, broken-stick regression, split-point regression, structural change models, and regression kink models, with and without interaction terms. Methods for both continuous and discontinuous threshold models are included, but the support for the former is much greater. This package is described in Fong, Huang, Gilbert and Permar (2017) <DOI:10.1186/s12859-017-1863-x> and the package vignette.

For Bayesian and classical inference and prediction with count-valued data, Simultaneous Transformation and Rounding (STAR) Models provide a flexible, interpretable, and easy-to-use approach. STAR models the observed count data using a rounded continuous data model and incorporates a transformation for greater flexibility. Implicitly, STAR formalizes the commonly-applied yet incoherent procedure of (i) transforming count-valued data and subsequently (ii) modeling the transformed data using Gaussian models. STAR is well-defined for count-valued data, which is reflected in predictive accuracy, and is designed to account for zero-inflation, bounded or censored data, and over- or underdispersion. Importantly, STAR is easy to combine with existing MCMC or point estimation methods for continuous data, which allows seamless adaptation of continuous data models (such as linear regressions, additive models, BART, random forests, and gradient boosting machines) for count-valued data. The package also includes several methods for modeling count time series data, namely via warped Dynamic Linear Models. For more details and background on these methodologies, see the works of Kowal and Canale (2020) <doi:10.1214/20-EJS1707>, Kowal and Wu (2022) <doi:10.1111/biom.13617>, King and Kowal (2022) <arXiv:2110.14790>, and Kowal and Wu (2023) <arXiv:2110.12316>.

This package provides a new methodology for linear regression with both curve response and curve regressors, which is described in Cho, Goude, Brossat and Yao (2013) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.722900> and (2015) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-18732-7_3>. The key idea behind this methodology is dimension reduction based on a singular value decomposition in a Hilbert space, which reduces the curve regression problem to several scalar linear regression problems.
