This package implements species distribution modeling and ecological niche modeling, including: bias correction, spatial cross-validation, model evaluation, raster interpolation, biotic "velocity" (speed and direction of movement of a "mass" represented by a raster), interpolating across a time series of rasters, and use of spatially imprecise records. The heart of the package is a set of "training" functions which automatically optimize model complexity based number of available occurrences. These algorithms include MaxEnt, MaxNet, boosted regression trees/gradient boosting machines, generalized additive models, generalized linear models, natural splines, and random forests. To enhance interoperability with other modeling packages, no new classes are created. The package works with PROJ6 geodetic objects and coordinate reference systems.

Maximum likelihood estimation of nonlinear mixed effects models of epidemic growth using Template Model Builder ('TMB'). Enables joint estimation for collections of disease incidence time series, including time series that describe multiple epidemic waves. Supports a set of widely used phenomenological models: exponential, logistic, Richards (generalized logistic), subexponential, and Gompertz. Provides methods for interrogating model objects and several auxiliary functions, including one for computing basic reproduction numbers from fitted values of the initial exponential growth rate. Preliminary versions of this software were applied in Ma et al. (2014) <doi:10.1007/s11538-013-9918-2> and in Earn et al. (2020) <doi:10.1073/pnas.2004904117>.

The amplitude-dependent exponential autoregressive (EXPAR) time series model, initially proposed by Haggan and Ozaki (1981) <doi:10.2307/2335819> has been implemented in this package. Throughout various studies, the model has been found to adequately capture the cyclical nature of datasets. Parameter estimation of such family of models has been tackled by the approach of minimizing the residual sum of squares (RSS). Model selection among various candidate orders has been implemented using various information criteria, viz., Akaike information criteria (AIC), corrected Akaike information criteria (AICc) and Bayesian information criteria (BIC). An illustration utilizing data of egg price indices has also been provided.

Analysing data from evaluations of educational interventions using a randomised controlled trial design. Various analytical tools to perform sensitivity analysis using different methods are supported (e.g. frequentist models with bootstrapping and permutations options, Bayesian models). The included commands can be used for simple randomised trials, cluster randomised trials and multisite trials. The methods can also be used more widely beyond education trials. This package can be used to evaluate other intervention designs using Frequentist and Bayesian multilevel models.

Can be used to simultaneously estimate networks (Gaussian Graphical Models) in data from different groups or classes via Joint Graphical Lasso. Tuning parameters are selected via information criteria (AIC / BIC / extended BIC) or cross validation.

Streamlines the fitting of common Bayesian item response models using Stan.

Commonly used classification and regression tree methods like the CART algorithm are recursive partitioning methods that build the model in a forward stepwise search. Although this approach is known to be an efficient heuristic, the results of recursive tree methods are only locally optimal, as splits are chosen to maximize homogeneity at the next step only. An alternative way to search over the parameter space of trees is to use global optimization methods like evolutionary algorithms. The evtree package implements an evolutionary algorithm for learning globally optimal classification and regression trees in R. CPU and memory-intensive tasks are fully computed in C++ while the partykit package is leveraged to represent the resulting trees in R, providing unified infrastructure for summaries, visualizations, and predictions.

In the USA, companies file different forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system). The EDGAR database automated system collects all the different necessary filings and makes it publicly available. This package facilitates retrieving, storing, searching, and parsing of all the available filings on the EDGAR server. It downloads filings from SEC server in bulk with a single query. Additionally, it provides various useful functions: extracts 8-K triggering events, extract "Business (Item 1)" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis(Item 7)" sections of annual statements, searches filings for desired keywords, provides sentiment measures, parses filing header information, and provides HTML view of SEC filings.

An interface to the Python InterpretML framework for fitting explainable boosting machines (EBMs); see Nori et al. (2019) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1909.09223> for details. EBMs are a modern type of generalized additive model that use tree-based, cyclic gradient boosting with automatic interaction detection. They are often as accurate as state-of-the-art blackbox models while remaining completely interpretable.

Some EM-type algorithms to estimate parameters for the well-known Heckman selection model are provided in the package. Such algorithms are as follow: ECM(Expectation/Conditional Maximization), ECM(NR)(the Newton-Raphson method is adapted to the ECM) and ECME(Expectation/Conditional Maximization Either). Since the algorithms are based on the EM algorithm, they also have EMâ s main advantages, namely, stability and ease of implementation. Further details and explanations of the algorithms can be found in Zhao et al. (2020) <doi: 10.1016/j.csda.2020.106930>.

The equality of a large number k of densities is tested by measuring the L2 distance between the corresponding kernel density estimators and the one based on the pooled sample. The test even works for sample sizes as small as 2.

Treatments of a one-way layout, being equivalent to a control, can be selected with this package. Bonferroni adjusted "two one-sided t-tests" (TOST) and related simultaneous confidence intervals are given for both differences or ratios of means of normally distributed data. For the case of equal variances and balanced sample sizes for the treatment groups, the single-step procedure of Bofinger and Bofinger (1995) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02058.x> can be chosen. For non-normal data, the Wilcoxon test is applied.

Estimate a total causal effect from observational data under linearity and causal sufficiency. The observational data is supposed to be generated from a linear structural equation model (SEM) with independent and additive noise. The underlying causal DAG associated the SEM is required to be known up to a maximally oriented partially directed graph (MPDAG), which is a general class of graphs consisting of both directed and undirected edges, including CPDAGs (i.e., essential graphs) and DAGs. Such graphs are usually obtained with structure learning algorithms with added background knowledge. The program is able to estimate every identified effect, including single and multiple treatment variables. Moreover, the resulting estimate has the minimal asymptotic covariance (and hence shortest confidence intervals) among all estimators that are based on the sample covariance.
