Functionality for segmenting individual trees from a forest stand scanned with a close-range (e.g., terrestrial or mobile) laser scanner. The complete workflow from a raw point cloud to a complete tabular forest inventory is provided. The package contains several algorithms for detecting tree bases and a graph-based algorithm to attach all remaining points to these tree bases. It builds heavily on the lidR package. A description of the segmentation algorithm can be found in Larysch et al. (2025) <doi:10.1007/s10342-025-01796-z>.

Estimates a lasso penalized precision matrix via blockwise coordinate descent (BCD). This package is a simple wrapper around the popular glasso package and extends and enhances its capabilities. These enhancements include built-in cross validation and visualizations. See Friedman et al. (2008) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxm045> for details regarding the estimation method.

This package provides tools for modeling time-to-event data with a cure fraction under correlated destructive negative binomial cure rate models. The models assume multiple latent competing causes with possible dependence and allow for elimination (inactivation) of some initial causes. Estimation is performed via an Expectation-Maximization algorithm, and diagnostic tools based on Cox-Snell residuals are provided.

This package implements Sequential Doubly Robust (SDR) and infinite-dimensional Targeted Maximum Likelihood (iTMLE) estimators for longitudinal modified treatment policies in settings with transitioning states, such as ICU, ward, or emergency department care episodes. Treatment is permitted in active states and becomes structurally inapplicable after a state transition (e.g. discharge or death). Supports asymmetric g- and Q-model regularisation, k-fold cross-fitting, and pluggable SuperLearner ensembles. Includes specialised SuperLearner wrappers (SL.tgt.* and SL.tmle_* families) for the iTMLE targeting step, which pass the logit offset as a covariate column to preserve correct subsetting during SuperLearner cross-validation. Methods based on Diaz et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1955691> and Luedtke et al. (2017) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1705.02459>.

This package provides a pair of functions for renaming and encoding data frames using external crosswalk files.

This package implements the stacked-imputation workflow for conditional inference trees ('ctree') described in Sherlock et al. (2026) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2026.2661244>. When data contain missing values, multiply imputed datasets (e.g., from mice') are stacked vertically and a single ctree is fit on the combined data. To correct for the artificially inflated sample size introduced by stacking, every node-level test statistic is divided by the number of imputations M, the node-level p-values are recomputed from the chi-squared reference distribution ctree uses (including its multiplicity adjustment across candidate splitting variables), and the tree is compressed bottom-up (the Stack/M correction). Degrees of freedom are derived for each node and each candidate variable, so univariate, bivariate and higher-dimensional outcomes are all handled, as are unordered factor predictors, whose degrees of freedom depend on how many levels remain in a node. The result is a single interpretable tree that incorporates imputation uncertainty without requiring pooling of structurally different trees. Also exports stack_imputations(), rescale_statistic(), prune_stackM(), node_table() and report_ctreeMI() as standalone utilities. The underlying ctree algorithm is provided by partykit (Hothorn & Zeileis, 2015; Hothorn, Hornik & Zeileis, 2006 <doi:10.1198/106186006X133933>).

This package provides similar functionality to Microsoft Excel CUMPRINC function <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/cumprinc-function-94a4516d-bd65-41a1-bc16-053a6af4c04d>. Returns principal remaining at a given month, principal paid in a month, and accumulated principal paid at a given month based on original loan amount, monthly interest rate, and term of loan.

Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) via reduced-rank regression with support for regularization and cross-validation. Several methods for estimating CCA in high-dimensional settings are implemented. The first set of methods, cca_rrr() (and variants: cca_group_rrr() and cca_graph_rrr()), assumes that one dataset is high-dimensional and the other is low-dimensional, while the second, ecca() (for Efficient CCA) assumes that both datasets are high-dimensional. For both methods, standard l1 regularization as well as group-lasso regularization are available. cca_graph_rrr further supports total variation regularization when there is a known graph structure among the variables of the high-dimensional dataset. In this case, the loadings of the canonical directions of the high-dimensional dataset are assumed to be smooth on the graph. For more details see Donnat and Tuzhilina (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2405.19539> and Wu, Tuzhilina and Donnat (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2507.11160>.

This package provides correlation-based penalty estimators for both linear and logistic regression models by implementing a new regularization method that incorporates correlation structures within the data. This method encourages a grouping effect where strongly correlated predictors tend to be in or out of the model together. See Tutz and Ulbricht (2009) <doi:10.1007/s11222-008-9088-5> and Algamal and Lee (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2015.08.016>.

This package provides tools for penalized estimation of flexible hidden Markov models for time series of counts w/o the need to specify a (parametric) family of distributions.

Returns an edit-distance based clusterization of an input vector of strings. Each cluster will contain a set of strings w/ small mutual edit-distance (e.g., Levenshtein, optimum-sequence-alignment, Damerau-Levenshtein), as computed by stringdist::stringdist(). The set of all mutual edit-distances is then used by graph algorithms (from package igraph') to single out subsets of high connectivity.

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.
