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>.

Support for measurement errors in R vectors, matrices and arrays: automatic uncertainty propagation and reporting. Documentation about errors is provided in the paper by Ucar, Pebesma & Azcorra (2018, <doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-075>), included in this package as a vignette; see citation("errors") for details.

This package provides a system for importing electrophysiological signal, based on the Waveform Database (WFDB) software package, written by Moody et al 2022 <doi:10.13026/gjvw-1m31>. A R-based system to utilize WFDB functions for reading and writing signal data, as well as functions for visualization and analysis are provided. A stable and broadly compatible class for working with signal data, supporting the reading in of cardiac electrophysiological files such as intracardiac electrograms, is introduced.

This package provides simple functions to create constraints for small test assembly problems (e.g. van der Linden (2005, ISBN: 978-0-387-29054-6)) using sparse matrices. Currently, GLPK', lpSolve', Symphony', and Gurobi are supported as solvers. The gurobi package is not available from any mainstream repository; see <https://www.gurobi.com/downloads/>.

The new yield tables developed by the Northwest German Forest Research Institute (NW-FVA) provide a forest management tool for the five main commercial tree species oak, beech, spruce, Douglas-fir and pine for northwestern Germany. The new method applied for deriving yield tables combines measurements of growth and yield trials with growth simulations using a state-of-the-art single-tree growth simulator. By doing so, the new yield tables reflect the current increment level and the recommended graduated thinning from above is the underlying management concept. The yield tables are provided along with methods for deriving the site index and for interpolating between age and site indices and extrapolating beyond age and site index ranges. The inter-/extrapolations are performed traditionally by the rule of proportion or with a functional approach.

This package provides a lightweight classroom game where students learn R by solving ecological-statistics puzzles inside a virtual escape room. The package remembers each player's progress, offers hints, and uses tasks inspired by introductory R teaching material, numerical ecology, ecological modelling, and distance sampling.

This package implements EKIO's visual identity for data visualization with ggplot2'. Supplies a coordinated theme, color palettes, discrete and continuous scales, and helpers for accessible text contrast. Includes high-level recipes for common charts so analysts can create consistent, publication-ready graphics with concise code.

By overloading the R help() function, this package allows users to use "docstring" style comments within their own defined functions. The package also provides additional functions to mimic the R basic example() function and the prototyping of packages.

This package provides functions for calculating mortality indicators. These include geometric interpolation between two periods and projections for future years, as described in the textbook by Laurenti, Mello Jorge, Lebrão and Gotlieb (2005, ISBN:9788512408309), the standardised mortality ratio (Bruce, Pope and Stanistreet, 2018, ISBN:9781118665411), the age-adjusted mortality rate (direct standardisation), years of potential life lost (Gardner and Sanborn, 1990, <doi:10.1097/00001648-199007000-00012>; Ma, Ward, Siegel and Jemal, 2015, <doi:10.1001/jama.2015.12319>), and age-standardised years of potential life lost (Silva Filho et al., 2024 <doi:10.1590/1413-81232024293.04702023EN>). Confidence intervals for the standardised mortality ratio are obtained according to Vandenbroucke (1982) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a113306> and Ulm (1990) <doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a115507>. The function also includes a function that produces a graph similar to an age pyramid.

Routines for combining causal effect estimates and study diagnostics across multiple data sites in a distributed study, without sharing patient-level data. Allows for normal and non-normal approximations of the data-site likelihood of the effect parameter.

We implement (or re-implements in R) a variety of statistical tools. They are focused on non-parametric two-sample (or k-sample) distribution comparisons in the univariate or multivariate case. See the vignette for more info.

Fit the hierarchical and non-hierarchical Bayesian measurement models proposed by Bullock, Imai, and Shapiro (2011) <DOI:10.1093/pan/mpr031> to analyze endorsement experiments. Endorsement experiments are a survey methodology for eliciting truthful responses to sensitive questions. This methodology is helpful when measuring support for socially sensitive political actors such as militant groups. The model is fitted with a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm and produces the output containing draws from the posterior distribution.

This package provides a tool to run Monte Carlo simulation of catastrophe model event loss tables, using a Poisson frequency and Beta severity distribution.

This package contains methods for observed-score linking and equating under the single-group, equivalent-groups, and nonequivalent-groups with anchor test(s) designs. Equating types include identity, mean, linear, general linear, equipercentile, circle-arc, and composites of these. Equating methods include synthetic, nominal weights, Tucker, Levine observed score, Levine true score, Braun/Holland, frequency estimation, and chained equating. Plotting and summary methods, and methods for multivariate presmoothing and bootstrap error estimation are also provided.

It facilitates the conversion of raw FAERS data published after 2014Q3 into structured formats for analysis. See Yang et al. (2022) <doi:10.3389/fphar.2021.772768> for related information.

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.

This package implements the Polynomial Maximization Method ('PMM') for parameter estimation in linear and time series models when error distributions deviate from normality. The PMM2 variant achieves lower variance parameter estimates compared to ordinary least squares ('OLS') when errors exhibit significant skewness. The PMM3 variant (S=3) targets symmetric platykurtic error distributions, reducing variance when excess kurtosis is negative. Includes automatic method selection ('pmm_dispatch'), linear regression, AR'/'MA'/'ARMA'/'ARIMA models, and bootstrap inference.
