It provides a method based on EM algorithm to estimate the parameter of a mixture model, Sigmoid-Normal Model, where the samples come from several normal distributions (also call them subgroups) whose mean is determined by co-variable Z and coefficient alpha while the variance are homogeneous. Meanwhile, the subgroup each item belongs to is determined by co-variables X and coefficient eta through Sigmoid link function which is the extension of Logistic Link function. It uses bootstrap to estimate the standard error of parameters. When sample is indeed separable, removing estimation with abnormal sigma, the estimation of alpha is quite well. I used this method to explore the subgroup structure of HIV patients and it can be used in other domains where exists subgroup structure.

This package implements the Ebrahim-Farrington goodness-of-fit test for logistic regression models, particularly effective for sparse data and binary outcomes. This test provides an improved alternative to the traditional Hosmer-Lemeshow test by using a modified Pearson chi-square statistic with data-dependent grouping. The test is based on Farrington (1996) theoretical framework but simplified for practical implementation with binary data. Includes functions for both the original Farrington test (for grouped data) and the new Ebrahim-Farrington test (for binary data with automatic grouping). For more details see Hosmer (1980) <doi:10.1080/03610928008827941> and Farrington (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02086.x>.

Presents two methods to estimate the parameters mu', sigma', and tau of an ex-Gaussian distribution. Those methods are Quantile Maximization Likelihood Estimation ('QMLE') and Bayesian. The QMLE method allows a choice between three different estimation algorithms for these parameters : neldermead ('NEMD'), fminsearch ('FMIN'), and nlminb ('NLMI').

This package provides a predictable and pipeable framework for performing ETL (extract-transform-load) operations on publicly-accessible medium-sized data set. This package sets up the method structure and implements generic functions.

This package implements the hybrid framework for event prediction described in Fang & Zheng (2011, <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2011.05.013>). To estimate the survival function the event prediction is based on, a piecewise exponential hazard function is fit to the time-to-event data to infer the potential change points. Prior to the last identified change point, the survival function is estimated using Kaplan-Meier, and the tail after the change point is fit using piecewise exponential.

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>.

This package provides functions for eleven procedures for determining the number of factors, including functions for parallel analysis and the minimum average partial test. There are also functions for conducting principal components analysis, principal axis factor analysis, maximum likelihood factor analysis, image factor analysis, and extension factor analysis, all of which can take raw data or correlation matrices as input and with options for conducting the analyses using Pearson correlations, Kendall correlations, Spearman correlations, gamma correlations, or polychoric correlations. Varimax rotation, promax rotation, and Procrustes rotations can be performed. Additional functions focus on the factorability of a correlation matrix, the congruences between factors from different datasets, the assessment of local independence, the assessment of factor solution complexity, and internal consistency.

This package creates realistic random trajectories in a 3-D space between two given fix points, so-called conditional empirical random walks (CERWs). The trajectory generation is based on empirical distribution functions extracted from observed trajectories (training data) and thus reflects the geometrical movement characteristics of the mover. A digital elevation model (DEM), representing the Earth's surface, and a background layer of probabilities (e.g. food sources, uplift potential, waterbodies, etc.) can be used to influence the trajectories.

This package provides statistical methods for estimating bivariate dependency (correlation) from marginal summary statistics across multiple studies. The package supports three modules: (1) bivariate correlation estimation for binary outcomes, (2) bivariate correlation estimation for continuous outcomes, and (3) estimation of component-wise means and variances under a conditional two-component Gaussian mixture model for a continuous variable stratified by a binary class label. These methods enable privacy-preserving joint estimation when individual-level data are unavailable. The approaches are detailed in Shang, Tsao, and Zhang (2025a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.03995> and Shang, Tsao, and Zhang (2025b) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.02057>.
