This package provides an easy framework for Monte Carlo simulation in structural equation modeling, which can be used for various purposes, such as such as model fit evaluation, power analysis, or missing data handling and planning.

This package provides a fast implementation of the SWAG algorithm for Generalized Linear Models which allows to perform a meta-learning procedure that combines screening and wrapper methods to find a set of extremely low-dimensional attribute combinations. The package then performs test on the network of selected models to identify the variables that are highly predictive by using entropy-based network measures.

Set of tools to find coherent patterns in gene expression (microarray) data using a Bayesian Sparse Latent Factor Model (SLFM) <DOI:10.1007/978-3-319-12454-4_15>. Considerable effort has been put to build a fast and memory efficient package, which makes this proposal an interesting and computationally convenient alternative to study patterns of gene expressions exhibited in matrices. The package contains the implementation of two versions of the model based on different mixture priors for the loadings: one relies on a degenerate component at zero and the other uses a small variance normal distribution for the spike part of the mixture.

Uses C++ via the Rcpp package to parse modern Excel files ('.xlsx'). Memory usage is kept minimal by decompressing only parts of the file at a time, while employing multiple threads to achieve significant runtime reduction. Uses <https://github.com/richgel999/miniz> and <https://github.com/lemire/fast_double_parser>.

Fits time trend models for routine disease surveillance tasks and returns probability distributions for a variety of quantities of interest, including age-standardized rates, period and cumulative percent change, and measures of health inequality. The models are appropriate for count data such as disease incidence and mortality data, employing a Poisson or binomial likelihood and the first-difference (random-walk) prior for unknown risk. Optionally add a covariance matrix for multiple, correlated time series models. Inference is completed using Markov chain Monte Carlo via the Stan modeling language.

This package provides the hyphenation algorithm used for TeX'/'LaTeX and similar software, as proposed by Liang (1983, <https://tug.org/docs/liang/>). Mainly contains the function hyphen() to be used for hyphenation/syllable counting of text objects. It was originally developed for and part of the koRpus package, but later released as a separate package so it's lighter to have this particular functionality available for other packages. Support for various languages needs be added on-the-fly or by plugin packages (<https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/>); this package does not include any language specific data. Due to some restrictions on CRAN, the full package sources are only available from the project homepage. To ask for help, report bugs, request features, or discuss the development of the package, please subscribe to the koRpus-dev mailing list (<http://korpusml.reaktanz.de>).

This package provides functions to perform stepwise split regularized regression. The approach first uses a stepwise algorithm to split the variables into the models with a goodness of fit criterion, and then regularization is applied to each model. The weights of the models in the ensemble are determined based on a criterion selected by the user.

Tool for statistical simulations that have two components. One component generates the data and the other one analyzes the data. The main aims of the package are the reduction of the administrative source code (mainly loops and management code for the results) and a simple applicability of the package that allows the user to quickly learn how to work with it. Parallel computing is also supported. Finally, convenient functions are provided to summarize the simulation results.

An user-friendly framework to preprocess raw item scores of questionnaires into factors or scores and standardize them. Standardization can be made either by their normalization in representative sample, or by import of premade scoring table.

It's my experience that working with shiny is intuitive once you're into it, but can be quite daunting at first. Several common mistakes are fairly predictable, and therefore we can control for these. The functions in this package help match up the assets listed in the UI and the SERVER files, and Visualize the ad hoc structure of the shiny App.

This package provides functions for coarse-to-fine spatial modeling (CFSM), enabling fast spatial prediction, regression, and uncertainty quantification. For further details, see Murakami et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.00968>.

This package implements the Stable Balancing Weights by Zubizarreta (2015) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2015.1023805>. These are the weights of minimum variance that approximately balance the empirical distribution of the observed covariates. For an overview, see Chattopadhyay, Hase and Zubizarreta (2020) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8659>. To solve the optimization problem in sbw', the default solver is quadprog', which is readily available through CRAN. The solver osqp is also posted on CRAN. To enhance the performance of sbw', users are encouraged to install other solvers such as gurobi and Rmosek', which require special installation. For the installation of gurobi and pogs, please follow the instructions at <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/current/reference/r.html> and <http://foges.github.io/pogs/stp/r>.

Spatio-temporal data have become increasingly popular in many research fields. Such data often have complex structures that are difficult to describe and estimate. This package provides reliable tools for modeling complicated spatio-temporal data. It also includes tools of online process monitoring to detect possible change-points in a spatio-temporal process over time. More specifically, the package implements the spatio-temporal mean estimation procedure described in Yang and Qiu (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7622>, the spatio-temporal covariance estimation procedure discussed in Yang and Qiu (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8315>, the three-step method for the joint estimation of spatio-temporal mean and covariance functions suggested by Yang and Qiu (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10463-021-00787-2>, the spatio-temporal disease surveillance method discussed in Qiu and Yang (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9150> that can accommodate the covariate effect, the spatial-LASSO-based process monitoring method proposed by Qiu and Yang (2023) <doi:10.1080/00224065.2022.2081104>, and the online spatio-temporal disease surveillance method described in Yang and Qiu (2020) <doi:10.1080/24725854.2019.1696496>.

Multiple imputation of missing data in a dataset using MICT or MICT-timing methods. The core idea of the algorithms is to fill gaps of missing data, which is the typical form of missing data in a longitudinal setting, recursively from their edges. Prediction is based on either a multinomial or random forest regression model. Covariates and time-dependent covariates can be included in the model.

By adding dependencies to the "Suggests" field of a package's DESCRIPTION file, and then declaring that they are needed within any dependent functionality, it is often possible to significantly reduce the number of "hard" dependencies required by a package. This package provides a minimal way to declare when a suggested package is needed.
