Tool for demographic modeling and analysis, combining stochastic simulation-based projections with classic demographic methods. Provides utilities for disaggregating population data using Karup-King interpolation, fitting Brass relational logit models, calculating fertility and mortality metrics, building complete and abridged life tables with model-based separation factors, estimating child mortality indirectly from children ever born and surviving (Brass-Trussell method), decomposing and standardizing rates, and performing hierarchical subnational population projections. Relational life table estimation and interpolation methods are described in Brass (1975) "Methods for Estimating Fertility and Mortality from Limited and Defective Data", Preston et al. (2001, ISBN:978-0631226161) "Demography: Measuring and Modeling Population Processes", Siegel and Swanson (2004, ISBN:978-0126419559) "The Methods and Materials of Demography", and Raftery et al.

Motifs within biological sequences show a significant role. This package utilizes a user-defined threshold value (window size and similarity) to create consensus segments or motifs through local alignment of dynamic programming with gap and it calculates the frequency of each identified motif, offering a detailed view of their prevalence within the dataset. It allows for thorough exploration and understanding of sequence patterns and their biological importance.

Detection of differential item functioning (DIF) among dichotomously scored items and differential distractor functioning (DDF) among unscored items with non-linear regression procedures based on generalized logistic regression models (Hladka & Martinkova, 2020, <doi:10.32614/RJ-2020-014>).

This package implements the doubly robust distribution balancing weighting proposed by Katsumata (2024) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2024.23>, which improves the augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) by estimating propensity scores with estimating equations suitable for the pre-specified parameter of interest (e.g., the average treatment effects or the average treatment effects on the treated) and estimating outcome models with the estimated inverse probability weights. It also implements the covariate balancing propensity score proposed by Imai and Ratkovic (2014) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12027> and the entropy balancing weighting proposed by Hainmueller (2012) <doi:10.1093/pan/mpr025>, both of which use covariate balancing conditions in propensity score estimation. The point estimate of the parameter of interest and its uncertainty as well as coefficients for propensity score estimation and outcome regression are produced using the M-estimation. The same functions can be used to estimate average outcomes in missing outcome cases.

Models for detecting concreteness in natural language. This package is built in support of Yeomans (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.obhdp.2020.10.008>, which reviews linguistic models of concreteness in several domains. Here, we provide an implementation of the best-performing domain-general model (from Brysbaert et al., (2014) <doi:10.3758/s13428-013-0403-5>) as well as two pre-trained models for the feedback and plan-making domains.

Dependent censoring regression models for survival multivariate data. These models are based on extensions of the frailty models, capable to accommodating the dependence between failure and censoring times, with Weibull and piecewise exponential marginal distributions. Theoretical details regarding the models implemented in the package can be found in Schneider et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201800391>.

This package provides tools for spatio-temporal disaggregation of areal data across multiple time points, including support for changing polygon boundaries. Implements methods for spatially aggregated log-Gaussian Cox process models with changing areal boundaries as described in Ripstein, Brown and Stafford (2026) "Spatio-Temporal Disaggregation with Changing Areal Boundaries" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.25074>. Combines polygon-level observations, population rasters and optional covariate rasters to infer fine-scale spatial fields over time. Models can be efficiently fit using TMB (Template Model Builder) and adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature for fast approximate inference or via tmbstan for MCMC.

This package provides tools for downloading and processing data on the Brazilian Amazon region from a variety of official sources. Covers environmental, agricultural, economic, and social indicators, including deforestation and land use, greenhouse gas emissions, climate, agricultural and livestock production, mining, energy, and foreign trade, from providers such as the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), and MapBiomas. Data are cleaned and standardized for analysis at the municipality, state, and regional levels.

The recovery of visual sensitivity in a dark environment is known as dark adaptation. In a clinical or research setting the recovery is typically measured after a dazzling flash of light and can be described by the Mahroo, Lamb and Pugh (MLP) model of dark adaptation. The functions in this package take dark adaptation data and use nonlinear regression to find the parameters of the model that best describe the data. They do this by firstly, generating rapid initial objective estimates of data adaptation parameters, then a multi-start algorithm is used to reduce the possibility of a local minimum. There is also a bootstrap method to calculate parameter confidence intervals. The functions rely upon a dark list or object. This object is created as the first step in the workflow and parts of the object are updated as it is processed.

Utility functions to be used to analyse datasets obtained from seed germination/emergence assays. Fits several types of seed germination/emergence models, including those reported in Onofri et al. (2018) "Hydrothermal-time-to-event models for seed germination", European Journal of Agronomy, 101, 129-139 <doi:10.1016/j.eja.2018.08.011>. Contains several datasets for practicing.

Deep Gaussian mixture models as proposed by Viroli and McLachlan (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11222-017-9793-z> provide a generalization of classical Gaussian mixtures to multiple layers. Each layer contains a set of latent variables that follow a mixture of Gaussian distributions. To avoid overparameterized solutions, dimension reduction is applied at each layer by way of factor models.

Bayesian factor models are effective tools for dimension reduction. This is especially applicable to multivariate large-scale datasets. It allows researchers to understand the latent factors of the data which are the linear or non-linear combination of the variables. Dynamic Intrinsic Conditional Autocorrelative Priors (ICAR) Spatiotemporal Factor Models DIFM package provides function to run Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), evaluation methods and visual plots from Shin and Ferreira (2023)<doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2023.100763>. Our method is a class of Bayesian factor model which can account for spatial and temporal correlations. By incorporating these correlations, the model can capture specific behaviors and provide predictions.
