Estimates a variety of Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) models. More in detail, the dccmidas package allows the estimation of the corrected DCC (cDCC) of Aielli (2013) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2013.771027>, the DCC-MIDAS of Colacito et al. (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2011.02.013>, the Asymmetric DCC of Cappiello et al. <doi:10.1093/jjfinec/nbl005>, and the Dynamic Equicorrelation (DECO) of Engle and Kelly (2012) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2011.652048>. dccmidas offers the possibility of including standard GARCH <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(86)90063-1>, GARCH-MIDAS <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00300> and Double Asymmetric GARCH-MIDAS <doi:10.1016/j.econmod.2018.07.025> models in the univariate estimation. Moreover, also the scalar and diagonal BEKK <doi:10.1017/S0266466600009063> models can be estimated. Finally, the package calculates also the var-cov matrix under two non-parametric models: the Moving Covariance and the RiskMetrics specifications.

This package implements double hierarchical generalized linear models in which the mean, dispersion parameters for variance of random effects, and residual variance (overdispersion) can be further modeled as random-effect models.

This package performs DIFlasso as proposed by Tutz and Schauberger (2015) <doi:10.1007/s11336-013-9377-6>, a method to detect DIF (Differential Item Functioning) in Rasch Models. It can handle settings with many variables and also metric variables.

Interactively train neural networks on Numerai, <https://numer.ai/>, data. Generate tournament predictions and write them to a CSV.

Perform model selection using distribution and probability-based methods, including standardized AIC, BIC, and AICc. These standardized information criteria allow one to perform model selection in a way similar to the prevalent "Rule of 2" method, but formalize the method to rely on probability theory. A novel goodness-of-fit procedure for assessing linear regression models is also available. This test relies on theoretical properties of the estimated error variance for a normal linear regression model, and employs a bootstrap procedure to assess the null hypothesis that the fitted model shows no lack of fit. For more information, see Koeneman and Cavanaugh (2023) <arXiv:2309.10614>. Functionality to perform all subsets linear or generalized linear regression is also available.

This package provides a method for identifying pattern changes between 2 experimental conditions in correlation networks (e.g., gene co-expression networks), which builds on a commonly used association measure, such as Pearson's correlation coefficient. This package includes functions to calculate correlation matrices for high-dimensional dataset and to test differential correlation, which means the changes in the correlation relationship among variables (e.g., genes and metabolites) between 2 experimental conditions.

The desirable Dietary Pattern (DDP)/ PPH score measures the variety of food consumption. The (weighted) score is calculated based on the type of food. This package is intended to calculate the DDP/ PPH score that is faster than traditional method via a manual calculation by BKP (2017) <http://bkp.pertanian.go.id/storage/app/uploads/public/5bf/ca9/06b/5bfca906bc654274163456.pdf> and is simpler than the nutrition survey <http://www.nutrisurvey.de>. The database to create weights and baseline values is the Indonesia national survey in 2017.

Diagnostics for linear L1 regression (also known as LAD - Least Absolute Deviations), including: estimation, confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses, measures of leverage, methods of diagnostics for L1 regression, special diagnostics graphs and measures of leverage. The algorithms are based in Dielman (2005) <doi:10.1080/0094965042000223680>, Elian et al. (2000) <doi:10.1080/03610920008832518> and Dodge (1997) <doi:10.1006/jmva.1997.1666>. This package builds on the quantreg package, which is a well-established package for tuning quantile regression models. There are also tests to verify if the errors have a Laplace distribution based on the work of Puig and Stephens (2000) <doi:10.2307/1270952>.

Plan optimal sample size allocation and go/no-go decision rules for phase II/III drug development programs with time-to-event, binary or normally distributed endpoints when assuming fixed treatment effects or a prior distribution for the treatment effect, using methods from Kirchner et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6624> and Preussler (2020). Optimal is in the sense of maximal expected utility, where the utility is a function taking into account the expected cost and benefit of the program. It is possible to extend to more complex settings with bias correction (Preussler S et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12874-020-01093-w>), multiple phase III trials (Preussler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201700241>), multi-arm trials (Preussler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1702092>), and multiple endpoints (Kieser et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/pst.1861>).

Improves the balance of optimal matching with near-fine balance by giving penalties on the unbalanced covariates with the unbalanced directions. Many directional penalties can also be viewed as Lagrange multipliers, pushing a matched sample in the direction of satisfying a linear constraint that would not be satisfied without penalization.

Empirical Bayes methods for learning prior distributions from data. An unknown prior distribution (g) has yielded (unobservable) parameters, each of which produces a data point from a parametric exponential family (f). The goal is to estimate the unknown prior ("g-modeling") by deconvolution and Empirical Bayes methods. Details and examples are in the paper by Narasimhan and Efron (2020, <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i11>).

This package provides a general-purpose computational engine for data analysis, drake rebuilds intermediate data objects when their dependencies change, and it skips work when the results are already up to date. Not every execution starts from scratch, there is native support for parallel and distributed computing, and completed projects have tangible evidence that they are reproducible. Extensive documentation, from beginner-friendly tutorials to practical examples and more, is available at the reference website <https://docs.ropensci.org/drake/> and the online manual <https://books.ropensci.org/drake/>.
