This package contains a single function dclust() for divisive hierarchical clustering based on recursive k-means partitioning (k = 2). Useful for clustering large datasets where computation of a n x n distance matrix is not feasible (e.g. n > 10,000 records). For further information see Steinbach, Karypis and Kumar (2000) <http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/fetch/papers/docclusterKDDTMW00.pdf>.

Implementation of Das Gupta's standardisation and decomposition of population rates, as set out "Standardization and decomposition of rates: A userâ s manual", Das Gupta (1993) <https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/1993/demographics/p23-186.pdf>. The goal of these methods is to calculate adjusted rates based on compositional factors and quantify the contribution of each factor to the difference in crude rates between populations. The package offers functionality to handle various scenarios for any number of factors and populations, where said factors can be comprised of vectors across sub-populations (including cross-classified population breakdowns), and with the option to specify user-defined rate functions.

Efficient estimation of Dynamic Factor Models using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm or Two-Step (2S) estimation, supporting datasets with missing data and mixed-frequency nowcasting applications. Factors follow a stationary VAR process of order p. Estimation options include: running the Kalman Filter and Smoother once with PCA initial values (2S) as in Doz, Giannone and Reichlin (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2011.02.012>; iterated Kalman Filtering and Smoothing until EM convergence as in Doz, Giannone and Reichlin (2012) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00225>; or the adapted EM algorithm of Banbura and Modugno (2014) <doi:10.1002/jae.2306>, allowing arbitrary missing-data patterns and monthly-quarterly mixed-frequency datasets. The implementation uses the Armadillo C++ library and the collapse package for fast estimation. A comprehensive set of methods supports interpretation and visualization, forecasting, and decomposition of the news content of macroeconomic data releases following Banbura and Modugno (2014). Information criteria to choose the number of factors are also provided, following Bai and Ng (2002) <doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00273>.

DataSHIELD is an infrastructure and series of R packages that enables the remote and non-disclosive analysis of sensitive research data. This package is the DataSHIELD interface implementation to analyze data shared on a MOLGENIS Armadillo server. MOLGENIS Armadillo is a light-weight DataSHIELD server using a file store and an RServe server.

Implementing algorithms and fitting models when sites (possibly remote) share computation summaries rather than actual data over HTTP with a master R process (using opencpu', for example). A stratified Cox model and a singular value decomposition are provided. The former makes direct use of code from the R survival package. (That is, the underlying Cox model code is derived from that in the R survival package.) Sites may provide data via several means: CSV files, Redcap API, etc. An extensible design allows for new methods to be added in the future and includes facilities for local prototyping and testing. Web applications are provided (via shiny') for the implemented methods to help in designing and deploying the computations.

This package provides a distributed framework for simulating and estimating skew factor models under various skewed and heavy-tailed distributions. The methods support distributed data generation, aggregation of local estimators, and evaluation of estimation performance via mean squared error, relative error, and sparsity measures. The distributed principal component (PC) estimators implemented in the package include IPC (Independent Principal Component),'PPC (Project Principal Component), SPC (Sparse Principal Component), and other related distributed PC methods. The methodological background follows Guo G. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s00180-022-01270-z>.

Fit of a double additive location-scale model with a nonparametric error distribution from possibly right- or interval censored data. The additive terms in the location and dispersion submodels, as well as the unknown error distribution in the location-scale model, are estimated using Laplace P-splines. For more details, see Lambert (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2021.107250>.

Generate reports that enable quick visual review of temporal shifts in record-level data. Time series plots showing aggregated values are automatically created for each data field (column) depending on its contents (e.g. min/max/mean values for numeric data, no. of distinct values for categorical data), as well as overviews for missing values, non-conformant values, and duplicated rows. The resulting reports are shareable and can contribute to forming a transparent record of the entire analysis process. It is designed with Electronic Health Records in mind, but can be used for any type of record-level temporal data (i.e. tabular data where each row represents a single "event", one column contains the "event date", and other columns contain any associated values for the event).

Data cloud geometry (DCG) applies random walks in finding community structures for social networks. Fushing, VanderWaal, McCowan, & Koehl (2013) (<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0056259>).

Distributed estimation method is based on a Laplace factor model to solve the estimates of load and specific variance. The philosophy of the package is described in Guangbao Guo. (2022). <doi:10.1007/s00180-022-01270-z>.

Manipulates date ('Date'), date time ('POSIXct') and time ('hms') vectors. Date/times are considered discrete and are floored whenever encountered. Times are wrapped and time zones are maintained unless explicitly altered by the user.

Generally, most of the packages specify the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, quantile function, and random numbers generation of the probability distributions. The present package allows to compute some important distributional properties, including the first four ordinary and central moments, Pearson's coefficient of skewness and kurtosis, the mean and variance, coefficient of variation, median, and quartile deviation at some parametric values of several well-known and extensively used probability distributions.

Estimation of the total population size from capture-recapture data efficiently and with low bias implementing the methods from Das M, Kennedy EH, and Jewell NP (2021) <arXiv:2104.14091>. The estimator is doubly robust against errors in the estimation of the intermediate nuisance parameters. Users can choose from the flexible estimation models provided in the package, or use any other preferred model.
