This package implements the new algorithm for fast computation of M-scatter matrices using a partial Newton-Raphson procedure for several estimators. The algorithm is described in Duembgen, Nordhausen and Schuhmacher (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2015.11.009>.

The heterogeneous treatment effect estimation procedure proposed by Imai and Ratkovic (2013)<DOI: 10.1214/12-AOAS593>. The proposed method is applicable, for example, when selecting a small number of most (or least) efficacious treatments from a large number of alternative treatments as well as when identifying subsets of the population who benefit (or are harmed by) a treatment of interest. The method adapts the Support Vector Machine classifier by placing separate LASSO constraints over the pre-treatment parameters and causal heterogeneity parameters of interest. This allows for the qualitative distinction between causal and other parameters, thereby making the variable selection suitable for the exploration of causal heterogeneity. The package also contains a class of functions, CausalANOVA, which estimates the average marginal interaction effects (AMIEs) by a regularized ANOVA as proposed by Egami and Imai (2019). It contains a variety of regularization techniques to facilitate analysis of large factorial experiments.

Convenient classes to model fitness landscapes and fitness seascapes. A low-level package with which most users will not interact but upon which other packages modeling fitness landscapes and fitness seascapes will depend.

This package provides an implementation of finite mixture regression models for censored data under four distributional families: Normal (FM-NCR), Student t (FM-TCR), skew-Normal (FM-SNCR), and skew-t (FM-STCR). The package enables flexible modeling of skewness and heavy tails often observed in real-world data, while explicitly accounting for censoring. Functions are included for parameter estimation via the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, computation of standard errors, and model comparison criteria such as the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and the Efficient Determination Criterion (EDC). The underlying methodology is described in Park et al. (2024) <doi:10.1007/s00180-024-01459-4>.

This package provides an interface to the FORCIS database (Chaabane et al. (2024) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7390791>) on global foraminifera distribution. This package allows to download and to handle FORCIS data. It is part of the FRB-CESAB working group FORCIS. <https://www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/the-frb-in-action/programs-and-projects/le-cesab/forcis/>.

This package provides the function feis() to estimate fixed effects individual slope (FEIS) models. The FEIS model constitutes a more general version of the often-used fixed effects (FE) panel model, as implemented in the package plm by Croissant and Millo (2008) <doi:10.18637/jss.v027.i02>. In FEIS models, data are not only person demeaned like in conventional FE models, but detrended by the predicted individual slope of each person or group. Estimation is performed by applying least squares lm() to the transformed data. For more details on FEIS models see Bruederl and Ludwig (2015, ISBN:1446252442); Frees (2001) <doi:10.2307/3316008>; Polachek and Kim (1994) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(94)90075-2>; Ruettenauer and Ludwig (2020) <doi:10.1177/0049124120926211>; Wooldridge (2010, ISBN:0262294354). To test consistency of conventional FE and random effects estimators against heterogeneous slopes, the package also provides the functions feistest() for an artificial regression test and bsfeistest() for a bootstrapped version of the Hausman test.

This package provides functions to fit regression models for bounded continuous and discrete responses. In case of bounded continuous responses (e.g., proportions and rates), available models are the flexible beta (Migliorati, S., Di Brisco, A. M., Ongaro, A. (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-BA1079>), the variance-inflated beta (Di Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S., Ongaro, A. (2020) <doi:10.1177/1471082X18821213>), the beta (Ferrari, S.L.P., Cribari-Neto, F. (2004) <doi:10.1080/0266476042000214501>), and their augmented versions to handle the presence of zero/one values (Di Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8406>) are implemented. In case of bounded discrete responses (e.g., bounded counts, such as the number of successes in n trials), available models are the flexible beta-binomial (Ascari, R., Migliorati, S. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9005>), the beta-binomial, and the binomial are implemented. Inference is dealt with a Bayesian approach based on the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm (Gelman, A., Carlin, J. B., Stern, H. S., Rubin, D. B. (2014) <doi:10.1201/b16018>). Besides, functions to compute residuals, posterior predictives, goodness of fit measures, convergence diagnostics, and graphical representations are provided.
