This package provides a lightweight implementation of functions and methods for fast and fully automatic time series modeling and forecasting using Echo State Networks (ESNs).

Two methods for performing equivalence test for the means of two (test and reference) normal distributions are implemented. The null hypothesis of the equivalence test is that the absolute difference between the two means are greater than or equal to the equivalence margin and the alternative is that the absolute difference is less than the margin. Given that the margin is often difficult to obtain a priori, it is assumed to be a constant multiple of the standard deviation of the reference distribution. The first method assumes a fixed margin which is a constant multiple of the estimated standard deviation of the reference data and whose variability is ignored. The second method takes into account the margin variability. In addition, some tools to summarize and illustrate the data and test results are included to facilitate the evaluation of the data and interpretation of the results.

This package provides a flexible tool for enrichment analysis based on user-defined sets. It allows users to perform over-representation analysis of the custom sets among any specified ranked feature list, hence making enrichment analysis applicable to various types of data from different scientific fields. EnrichIntersect also enables an interactive means to visualize identified associations based on, for example, the mix-lasso model (Zhao et al., 2022 <doi:10.1016/j.isci.2022.104767>) or similar methods.

Standardises and facilitates the use of eleven established stability properties that have been used to assess systemsâ responses to press or pulse disturbances at different ecological levels (e.g. population, community). There are two sets of functions. The first set corresponds to functions that measure stability at any level of organisation, from individual to community and can be applied to a time series of a systemâ s state variables (e.g., body mass, population abundance, or species diversity). The properties included in this set are: invariability, resistance, extent and rate of recovery, persistence, and overall ecological vulnerability. The second set of functions can be applied to Jacobian matrices. The functions in this set measure the stability of a community at short and long time scales. In the short term, the communityâ s response is measured by maximal amplification, reactivity and initial resilience (i.e. initial rate of return to equilibrium). In the long term, stability can be measured as asymptotic resilience and intrinsic stochastic invariability. Figueiredo et al. (2025) <doi:10.32942/X2M053>.

This package provides tools to download and manipulate the Permanent Household Survey from Argentina (EPH is the Spanish acronym for Permanent Household Survey). e.g: get_microdata() for downloading the datasets, get_poverty_lines() for downloading the official poverty baskets, calculate_poverty() for the calculation of stating if a household is in poverty or not, following the official methodology. organize_panels() is used to concatenate observations from different periods, and organize_labels() adds the official labels to the data. The implemented methods are based on INDEC (2016) <http://www.estadistica.ec.gba.gov.ar/dpe/images/SOCIEDAD/EPH_metodologia_22_pobreza.pdf>. As this package works with the argentinian Permanent Household Survey and its main audience is from this country, the documentation was written in Spanish.

Analysis of elliptical tubes with applications in biological modeling. The package is based on the references: Taheri, M., Pizer, S. M., & Schulz, J. (2024) "The Mean Shape under the Relative Curvature Condition." Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics <doi:10.1080/10618600.2025.2535600> and arXiv <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.01043>. Mohsen Taheri Shalmani (2024) "Shape Statistics via Skeletal Structures", PhD Thesis, University of Stavanger, Norway <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.34500.23685>. Key features include constructing discrete elliptical tubes, calculating transformations, validating structures under the Relative Curvature Condition (RCC), computing means, and generating simulations. Supports intrinsic and non-intrinsic mean calculations and transformations, size estimation, plotting, and random sample generation based on a reference tube. The intrinsic approach relies on the interior path of the original non-convex space, incorporating the RCC, while the non-intrinsic approach uses a basic robotic arm transformation that disregards the RCC.

This package implements methods for functional data analysis based on the epigraph and hypograph indices. These methods transform functional datasets, whether in one or multiple dimensions, into multivariate datasets. The transformation involves applying the epigraph, hypograph, and their modified versions to both the original curves and their first and second derivatives. The calculation of these indices is tailored to the dimensionality of the functional dataset, with special considerations for dependencies between dimensions in multidimensional cases. This approach extends traditional multivariate data analysis techniques to the functional data setting. A key application of this package is the EHyClus method, which enhances clustering analysis for functional data across one or multiple dimensions using the epigraph and hypograph indices. See Pulido et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s11222-023-10213-7> and Pulido et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2307.16720>.

Generates feature matrix outputs from R object inputs using a variety of expansion functions. The generated feature matrices have applications as inputs for a variety of machine learning algorithms. The expansion functions are based on coercing the input to a matrix, treating the columns as features and converting individual columns or combinations into blocks of columns. Currently these include expansion of columns by efficient sparse embedding by vectors of lags, quadratic expansion into squares and unique products, powers by vectors of degree, vectors of orthogonal polynomials functions, and block random affine projection transformations (RAPTs). The transformations are magrittr- and cbind-friendly, and can be used in a building block fashion. For instance, taking the cos() of the output of the RAPT transformation generates a stationary kernel expansion via Bochner's theorem, and this expansion can then be cbind-ed with other features. Additionally, there are utilities for replacing features, removing rows with NAs, creating matrix samples of a given distribution, a simple wrapper for LASSO with CV, a Freeman-Tukey transform, generalizations of the outer function, matrix size-preserving discrete difference by row, plotting, etc.
