This package provides tools for measuring empirically the effects of entry in concentrated markets, based in Bresnahan and Reiss (1991) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2937655>.

This package contains utilities for the analysis of protein sequences in a phylogenetic context. Allows the generation of phylogenetic trees base on protein sequences in an alignment-independent way. Two different methods have been implemented. One approach is based on the frequency analysis of n-grams, previously described in Stuart et al. (2002) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/18.1.100>. The other approach is based on the species-specific neighborhood preference around amino acids. Features include the conversion of a protein set into a vector reflecting these neighborhood preferences, pairwise distances (dissimilarity) between these vectors, and the generation of trees based on these distance matrices.

Simulates the soil water balance (soil moisture, evapotranspiration, leakage and runoff), rainfall series by using the marked Poisson process and the vegetation growth through the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Please see Souza et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/hyp.10953>.

Calculate cutoff values for model fit measures used in structural equation modeling (SEM) by simulating and testing data sets (cf. Hu & Bentler, 1999 <doi:10.1080/10705519909540118>) with the same parameters (population model, number of observations, etc.) as the model under consideration.

This data management package provides some helper classes for publicly available data sources (HMD, DESTATIS) in Demography. Similar to ideas developed in the Bioconductor project <https://bioconductor.org> we strive to encapsulate data in easy to use S4 objects. If original data is provided in a text file, the resulting S4 object contains all information from that text file. But the information is somehow structured (header, footer, etc). Further the classes provide methods to make a subset for selected calendar years or selected regions. The resulting subset objects still contain the original header and footer information.

This package provides methods for estimating parameter-dependent network centrality measures with linear-in-means models. Both non linear least squares and maximum likelihood estimators are implemented. The methods allow for both link and node heterogeneity in network effects, endogenous network formation and the presence of unconnected nodes. The routines also compare the explanatory power of parameter-dependent network centrality measures with those of standard measures of network centrality. Benefits and features of the econet package are illustrated using data from Battaglini and Patacchini (2018) and Battaglini, Patacchini, and Leone Sciabolazza (2020). For additional details, see the vignette <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i08>.

Variable selection methods have been extensively developed for analyzing highdimensional omics data within both the frequentist and Bayesian frameworks. This package provides implementations of the spike-and-slab quantile (group) LASSO which have been developed along the line of Bayesian hierarchical models but deeply rooted in frequentist regularization methods by utilizing Expectationâ Maximization (EM) algorithm. The spike-and-slab quantile LASSO can handle data irregularity in terms of skewness and outliers in response variables, compared to its non-robust alternative, the spike-and-slab LASSO, which has also been implemented in the package. In addition, procedures for fitting the spike-and-slab quantile group LASSO and its non-robust counterpart have been implemented in the form of quantile/least-square varying coefficient mixed effect models for high-dimensional longitudinal data. The core module of this package is developed in C++'.

This package provides functions for the computation of functional elastic shape means over sets of open planar curves. The package is particularly suitable for settings where these curves are only sparsely and irregularly observed. It uses a novel approach for elastic shape mean estimation, where planar curves are treated as complex functions and a full Procrustes mean is estimated from the corresponding smoothed Hermitian covariance surface. This is combined with the methods for elastic mean estimation proposed in Steyer, Stöcker, Greven (2022) <doi:10.1111/biom.13706>. See Stöcker et. al. (2022) <arXiv:2203.10522> for details.

Presents a statistical method that uses a recursive algorithm for signal extraction. The method handles a non-parametric estimation for the correlation of the errors. See "Krivobokova", "Serra", "Rosales" and "Klockmann" (2021) <arXiv:1812.06948> for details.

This package implements an explicit exploration strategy for evolutionary algorithms in order to have a more effective search in solving optimization problems. Along with this exploration search strategy, a set of four different Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are also implemented for solving optimization problems in continuous domains. The implemented explicit exploration strategy in this package is described in Salinas-Gutiérrez and Muñoz Zavala (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.asoc.2023.110230>.

The package includes code for estimating radial input, output, directional and additive measures, plotting graphical representations of the scores and the production frontiers by means of trees, and determining rankings of importance of input variables in the analysis.

Error-driven learning (based on the Widrow & Hoff (1960)<https://isl.stanford.edu/~widrow/papers/c1960adaptiveswitching.pdf> learning rule, and essentially the same as Rescorla-Wagner's learning equations (Rescorla & Wagner, 1972, ISBN: 0390718017), which are also at the core of Naive Discrimination Learning, (Baayen et al, 2011, <doi:10.1037/a0023851>) can be used to explain bottom-up human learning (Hoppe et al, <doi:10.31234/osf.io/py5kd>), but is also at the core of artificial neural networks applications in the form of the Delta rule. This package provides a set of functions for building small-scale simulations to investigate the dynamics of error-driven learning and it's interaction with the structure of the input. For modeling error-driven learning using the Rescorla-Wagner equations the package ndl (Baayen et al, 2011, <doi:10.1037/a0023851>) is available on CRAN at <https://cran.r-project.org/package=ndl>. However, the package currently only allows tracing of a cue-outcome combination, rather than returning the learned networks. To fill this gap, we implemented a new package with a few functions that facilitate inspection of the networks for small error driven learning simulations. Note that our functions are not optimized for training large data sets (no parallel processing), as they are intended for small scale simulations and course examples. (Consider the python implementation pyndl <https://pyndl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> for that purpose.).

Computes a series of indices commonly used in the fields of economic geography, economic complexity, and evolutionary economics to describe the location, distribution, spatial organization, structure, and complexity of economic activities. Functions include basic spatial indicators such as the location quotient, the Krugman specialization index, the Herfindahl or the Shannon entropy indices but also more advanced functions to compute different forms of normalized relatedness between economic activities or network-based measures of economic complexity. Most of the functions use matrix calculus and are based on bipartite (incidence) matrices consisting of region - industry pairs. These are described in Balland (2017) <http://econ.geo.uu.nl/peeg/peeg1709.pdf>.

Fits the space-time Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence ('ETAS') model to earthquake catalogs using a stochastic declustering approach. The ETAS model is a spatio-temporal marked point process model and a special case of the Hawkes process. The package is based on a Fortran program by Jiancang Zhuang (available at <https://bemlar.ism.ac.jp/zhuang/software.html>), which is modified and translated into C++ and C such that it can be called from R. Parallel computing with OpenMP is possible on supported platforms.
