Discriminant Analysis (DA) for evolutionary inference (Qin, X. et al, 2020, <doi:10.22541/au.159256808.83862168>), especially for population genetic structure and community structure inference. This package incorporates the commonly used linear and non-linear, local and global supervised learning approaches (discriminant analysis), including Linear Discriminant Analysis of Kernel Principal Components (LDAKPC), Local (Fisher) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LFDA), Local (Fisher) Discriminant Analysis of Kernel Principal Components (LFDAKPC) and Kernel Local (Fisher) Discriminant Analysis (KLFDA). These discriminant analyses can be used to do ecological and evolutionary inference, including demography inference, species identification, and population/community structure inference.

Intensive longitudinal data have become increasingly prevalent in various scientific disciplines. Many such data sets are noisy, multivariate, and multi-subject in nature. The change functions may also be continuous, or continuous but interspersed with periods of discontinuities (i.e., showing regime switches). The package dynr (Dynamic Modeling in R) is an R package that implements a set of computationally efficient algorithms for handling a broad class of linear and nonlinear discrete- and continuous-time models with regime-switching properties under the constraint of linear Gaussian measurement functions. The discrete-time models can generally take on the form of a state-space or difference equation model. The continuous-time models are generally expressed as a set of ordinary or stochastic differential equations. All estimation and computations are performed in C, but users are provided with the option to specify the model of interest via a set of simple and easy-to-learn model specification functions in R. Model fitting can be performed using single-subject time series data or multiple-subject longitudinal data. Ou, Hunter, & Chow (2019) <doi:10.32614%2FRJ-2019-012> provided a detailed introduction to the interface and more information on the algorithms.

This package provides methods for testing the equality between groups of estimated density functions. The package implements FDET (Fourier-based Density Equality Testing) and MDET (Moment-based Density Equality Testing), two new approaches introduced by the author. Both methods extend an earlier testing approach by Delicado (2007), "Functional k-sample problem when data are density functions" <doi:10.1007/s00180-007-0047-y>, which is referred to as DET (Density Equality Testing) in this package for clarity. FDET compares groups of densities based on their global shape using Fourier transforms, while MDET tests for differences in distributional moments. All methods are described in Anarat, Krutmann and Schwender (2025), "Testing for Differences in Extrinsic Skin Aging Based on Density Functions" (Submitted).

Dependent censoring regression models for survival multivariate data. These models are based on extensions of the frailty models, capable to accommodating the dependence between failure and censoring times, with Weibull and piecewise exponential marginal distributions. Theoretical details regarding the models implemented in the package can be found in Schneider et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201800391>.

Data screening is an important first step of any statistical analysis. dataReporter auto generates a customizable data report with a thorough summary of the checks and the results that a human can use to identify possible errors. It provides an extendable suite of test for common potential errors in a dataset. See Petersen AH, Ekstrøm CT (2019).

The twoStepsBenchmark() and threeRuleSmooth() functions allow you to disaggregate a low-frequency time series with higher frequency time series, using the French National Accounts methodology. The aggregated sum of the resulting time series is strictly equal to the low-frequency time series within the benchmarking window. Typically, the low-frequency time series is an annual one, unknown for the last year, and the high frequency one is either quarterly or monthly. See "Methodology of quarterly national accounts", Insee Méthodes N°126, by Insee (2012, ISBN:978-2-11-068613-8, <https://www.insee.fr/en/information/2579410>).

This package provides a comprehensive framework for early epidemic detection through school absenteeism surveillance. The package offers three core functionalities: (1) simulation of population structures, epidemic spread, and resulting school absenteeism patterns; (2) implementation of surveillance models that generate alerts for impending epidemics based on absenteeism data and (3) evaluation of alert timeliness and accuracy through alert time quality metrics to optimize model parameters. These tools enable public health officials and researchers to develop and assess early warning systems before implementation. Methods are based on research published in Vanderkruk et al. (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12889-023-15747-z> and Ward et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12889-019-7521-7>.

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>.

This package provides a modular package for measuring disparity (multidimensional space occupancy). Disparity can be calculated from any matrix defining a multidimensional space. The package provides a set of implemented metrics to measure properties of the space and allows users to provide and test their own metrics. The package also provides functions for looking at disparity in a serial way (e.g. disparity through time) or per groups as well as visualising the results. Finally, this package provides several statistical tests for disparity analysis.
