Estimates coefficients of extended LASSO penalized linear regression and generalized linear models. Currently lasso and elastic net penalized linear regression and generalized linear models are considered. This package currently utilizes an accurate approximation of L1 penalty and then a modified Jacobi algorithm to estimate the coefficients. There is provision for plotting of the solutions and predictions of coefficients at given values of lambda. This package also contains functions for cross validation to select a suitable lambda value given the data. Also provides a function for estimation in fused lasso penalized linear regression. For more details, see Mandal, B. N.(2014). Computational methods for L1 penalized GLM model fitting, unpublished report submitted to Macquarie University, NSW, Australia.

This package provides more than 550 data sets of actual election results. Each of the data sets includes aggregate party and candidate outcomes at the voting unit (polling stations) level and two-way cross-tabulated results at the district level. These data sets can be used to assess ecological inference algorithms devised for estimating RxC (global) ecological contingency tables using exclusively aggregate results from voting units.

Elastic net regression models are controlled by two parameters, lambda, a measure of shrinkage, and alpha, a metric defining the model's location on the spectrum between ridge and lasso regression. glmnet provides tools for selecting lambda via cross validation but no automated methods for selection of alpha. Elastic Net SearcheR automates the simultaneous selection of both lambda and alpha. Developed, in part, with support by NICHD R03 HD094912.

This package provides a Shiny'-based toolkit for item/test analysis. It is designed for multiple-choice, true-false, and open-ended questions.

(2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1752-1688.2010.00482.x>, and expanded in Hirsch and De Cicco (2015) <doi:10.3133/tm4A10>. The paper describing the uncertainty and confidence interval calculations is Hirsch et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2015.07.017>.

The EXPOS model uses a digital elevation model (DEM) to estimate exposed and protected areas for a given hurricane wind direction and inflection angle. The resulting topographic exposure maps can be combined with output from the HURRECON model to estimate hurricane wind damage across a region. For details on the original version of the EXPOS model written in Borland Pascal', see: Boose, Foster, and Fluet (1994) <doi:10.2307/2937142>, Boose, Chamberlin, and Foster (2001) <doi:10.1890/0012-9615(2001)071[0027:LARIOH]2.0.CO;2>, and Boose, Serrano, and Foster (2004) <doi:10.1890/02-4057>.

This package provides a set of functions, which facilitates removing objects from an environment. It allows to delete objects specified with regular expression or with other conditions (e.g. if object is numeric), using one function call.

Easily import multi-frequency acoustic data stored in HAC files (see <doi:10.17895/ices.pub.5482> for more information on the format), and produce echogram visualisations with predefined or customized color palettes. It is also possible to merge consecutive echograms; mask or delete unwanted echogram areas; model and subtract background noise; and more important, develop, test and interpret different combinations of frequencies in order to perform acoustic filtering of the echogram's data.
