Miscellaneous utilities, tools and helper functions for finding and searching files on disk, searching for and removing R objects from the workspace. Does not import or depend on any third party package, but on core R only (i.e. it may depend on packages with priority base').

FamSKAT-RC is a family-based association kernel test for both rare and common variants. This test is general and several special cases are known as other methods: famSKAT, which only focuses on rare variants in family-based data, SKAT, which focuses on rare variants in population-based data (unrelated individuals), and SKAT-RC, which focuses on both rare and common variants in population-based data. When one applies famSKAT-RC and sets the value of phi to 1, famSKAT-RC becomes famSKAT. When one applies famSKAT-RC and set the value of phi to 1 and the kinship matrix to the identity matrix, famSKAT-RC becomes SKAT. When one applies famSKAT-RC and set the kinship matrix (fullkins) to the identity matrix (and phi is not equal to 1), famSKAT-RC becomes SKAT-RC. We also include a small sample synthetic pedigree to demonstrate the method with. For more details see Saad M and Wijsman EM (2014) <doi:10.1002/gepi.21844>.

This package provides a comprehensive framework in R for modeling and forecasting economic scenarios based on multi-level dynamic factor model. The package enables users to: (i) extract global and group-specific factors using a flexible multi-level factor structure; (ii) compute asymptotically valid confidence regions for the estimated factors, accounting for uncertainty in the factor loadings; (iii) obtain estimates of the parameters of the factor-augmented quantile regressions together with their standard deviations; (iv) recover full predictive conditional densities from estimated quantiles; (v) obtain risk measures based on extreme quantiles of the conditional densities; (vi) estimate the conditional density and the corresponding extreme quantiles when the factors are stressed.

We consider optimal subset selection in the setting that one needs to use only one data subset to represent the whole data set with minimum information loss, and devise a novel intersection-based criterion on selecting optimal subset, called as the FPC criterion, to handle with the optimal sub-estimator in distributed principal component analysis; That is, the FPCdpca. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo G. (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.physa.2024.130308>.

This package provides functions to implement the formula instrument method in Borusyak and Hull (2023) <doi:10.3982/ECTA19367> and examine its sensitivity to the assumed distributional of counterfactual shocks.

Basic analysis of all penalties taken in the German men's Bundesliga between the start of its inaugural season and May 2017. The main functions are suitable printing and plotting functions. Flexible selection of a player is supported via grep. Missed penalties can easily be included or excluded, depending on the user's wishes.

Validate function arguments succinctly with informative error messages and optional automatic type casting and size recycling. Enable schema-based assertions by attaching reusable rules to data.frame and list objects for use throughout workflows.

It implements many univariate and multivariate permutation (and rotation) tests. Allowed tests: the t one and two samples, ANOVA, linear models, Chi Squared test, rank tests (i.e. Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis), Sign test and Mc Nemar. Test on Linear Models are performed also in presence of covariates (i.e. nuisance parameters). The permutation and the rotation methods to get the null distribution of the test statistics are available. It also implements methods for multiplicity control such as Westfall & Young minP procedure and Closed Testing (Marcus, 1976) and k-FWER. Moreover, it allows to test for fixed effects in mixed effects models.

Links datasets through fuzzy string matching using pretrained text embeddings. Produces more accurate record linkage when lexical string distance metrics are a poor guide to match quality (e.g., "Patricia" is more lexically similar to "Patrick" than it is to "Trish"). Capable of performing multilingual record linkage. Methods are described in Ornstein (2025) <doi:10.1017/pan.2025.10016>.

This package provides tools to work with the Flexible Dirichlet distribution. The main features are an E-M algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood estimate of the parameter vector and a function based on conditional bootstrap to estimate its asymptotic variance-covariance matrix. It contains also functions to plot graphs, to generate random observations and to handle compositional data.

Over 30 years of FreeBSD commit activity and contributor growth. Includes daily commit counts and new committer data extracted from the cloned git repository (1993-2026), plus Phabricator signup statistics (2013-2026). Contains no personal data -- only aggregated counts. Useful for time series analysis, growth modeling, and studying open source community dynamics.

This package performs analysis of variance testing procedures for univariate and multivariate functional data (Cuesta-Albertos and Febrero-Bande (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11749-010-0185-3>, Gorecki and Smaga (2015) <doi:10.1007/s00180-015-0555-0>, Gorecki and Smaga (2017) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2016.1247791>, Zhang et al.

Extracts and parses structured metadata ('YAML or TOML') from the beginning of text documents. Front matter is a common pattern in Quarto documents, R Markdown documents, static site generators, documentation systems, content management tools and even Python and R scripts where metadata is placed at the top of a document, separated from the main content by delimiter fences.

Allows prophet models from the prophet package to be used in a tidy workflow with the modelling interface of fabletools'. This extends prophet to provide enhanced model specification and management, performance evaluation methods, and model combination tools.

Compute maximum likelihood estimators of parameters in a Gaussian factor model using the the matrix-free methodology described in Dai et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1704296>. In contrast to the factanal() function from stats package, fad() can handle high-dimensional datasets where number of variables exceed the sample size and is also substantially faster than the EM algorithms.

Estimates the probability matrix for the RÃ C Ecological Inference problem using the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm with four approximation methods for the E-Step, and an exact method as well. It also provides a bootstrap function to estimate the standard deviation of the estimated probabilities. In addition, it has functions that aggregate rows optimally to have more reliable estimates in cases of having few data points. For comparing the probability estimates of two groups, a Wald test routine is implemented. The library has data from the first round of the Chilean Presidential Election 2021 and can also generate synthetic election data.

This package contains regional Floristic Quality Assessment databases that have been approved or approved with reservations by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Paired with the fqacalc R package, these data sets allow for Floristic Quality Assessment metrics to be calculated. For information on FQA see Spyreas (2019) <doi:10.1002/ecs2.2825>. Both packages were developed for the USACE by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Environmental Laboratory.
