This package contains logic for computing sparse principal components via the EESPCA method, which is based on an approximation of the eigenvector/eigenvalue identity. Includes logic to support execution of the TPower and rifle sparse PCA methods, as well as logic to estimate the sparsity parameters used by EESPCA, TPower and rifle via cross-validation to minimize the out-of-sample reconstruction error.

Expectile regression is a nice tool for estimating the conditional expectiles of a response variable given a set of covariates. This package implements a regression tree based gradient boosting estimator for nonparametric multiple expectile regression, proposed by Yang, Y., Qian, W. and Zou, H. (2018) <doi:10.1080/00949655.2013.876024>. The code is based on the gbm package originally developed by Greg Ridgeway.

This package provides functions that support estimating, assessing and mapping regional disaggregated indicators. So far, estimation methods comprise direct estimation, the model-based unit-level approach Empirical Best Prediction (see "Small area estimation of poverty indicators" by Molina and Rao (2010) <doi:10.1002/cjs.10051>), the area-level model (see "Estimates of income for small places: An application of James-Stein procedures to Census Data" by Fay and Herriot (1979) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1979.10482505>) and various extensions of it (adjusted variance estimation methods, log and arcsin transformation, spatial, robust and measurement error models), as well as their precision estimates. The assessment of the used model is supported by a summary and diagnostic plots. For a suitable presentation of estimates, map plots can be easily created. Furthermore, results can easily be exported to excel. For a detailed description of the package and the methods used see "The R Package emdi for Estimating and Mapping Regionally Disaggregated Indicators" by Kreutzmann et al. (2019) <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i07> and the second package vignette "A Framework for Producing Small Area Estimates Based on Area-Level Models in R".

The API is open, free, and requires an access key and registration at <https://www.eia.gov/opendata/>.

This package produces tables for descriptive epidemiological analysis. These tables include attack rates, case fatality ratios, and mortality rates (with appropriate confidence intervals), with additional functionality to calculate Mantel-Haenszel odds, risk, and incidence rate ratios. The methods implemented follow standard epidemiological approaches described in Rothman et al. (2008, ISBN:978-0-19-513554-2). This package is part of the R4EPIs project <https://R4EPI.github.io/sitrep/>.

Survival analysis is employed to model time-to-event data. This package examines the relationship between survival and one or more predictors, termed as covariates, which can include both treatment variables (e.g., season of birth, represented by indicator functions) and continuous variables. To this end, the Cox-proportional hazard (Cox-PH) model, introduced by Cox in 1972, is a widely applicable and commonly used method for survival analysis. This package enables the estimation of the effect of randomization for the treatment variable to account for potential confounders, providing adjustment when estimating the association with exposure. It accommodates both fixed and time-dependent covariates and computes survival probabilities for lactation periods in dairy animals. The package is built upon the algorithm developed by Klein and Moeschberger (2003) <DOI:10.1007/b97377>.

An extension of knitr that adds flexibility in several ways. One common source of frustration with knitr is that it assumes the directory where the source file lives should be the working directory, which is often not true. ezknitr addresses this problem by giving you complete control over where all the inputs and outputs are, and adds several other convenient features to make rendering markdown/HTML documents easier.

Estimating individual-level covariate-outcome associations using aggregate data ("ecological inference") or a combination of aggregate and individual-level data ("hierarchical related regression").

This package provides a tool to draw samples from a Empirical Likelihood Bayesian posterior of parameters using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.

Speed up common tasks, particularly logical or relational comparisons and routine follow up tasks such as finding the indices and subsetting. Inspired by mathematics, where something like: 3 < x < 6 is a standard, elegant and clear way to assert that x is both greater than 3 and less than 6 (see for example <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_operator>), a chaining operator is implemented. The chaining operator, %c%, allows multiple relational operations to be used in quotes on the right hand side for the same object, on the left hand side. The %e% operator allows something like set-builder notation (see for example <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-builder_notation>) to be used on the right hand side. All operators have built in prefixes defined for all, subset, and which to reduce the amount of code needed for common tasks, such as return those values that are true.
