Computes diagnostics for linear regression when treatment effects are heterogeneous. The output of hettreatreg represents ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates of the effect of a binary treatment as a weighted average of the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) and the average treatment effect on the untreated (ATU). The program estimates the OLS weights on these parameters, computes the associated model diagnostics, and reports the implicit OLS estimate of the average treatment effect (ATE). See Sloczynski (2019), <http://people.brandeis.edu/~tslocz/Sloczynski_paper_regression.pdf>.

This package provides a user-friendly interface for the Hierarchical Data Format 5 ('HDF5') library designed to "just work." It bundles the necessary system libraries to ensure easy installation on all platforms. Features smart defaults that automatically map R objects (vectors, matrices, data frames) to efficient HDF5 types, removing the need to manage low-level details like dataspaces or property lists. Uses the HDF5 library developed by The HDF Group <https://www.hdfgroup.org/>.

Perform hierarchical Bayesian Aldrich-McKelvey scaling using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo via Stan'. Aldrich-McKelvey ('AM') scaling is a method for estimating the ideological positions of survey respondents and political actors on a common scale using positional survey data. The hierarchical versions of the Bayesian AM model included in this package outperform other versions both in terms of yielding meaningful posterior distributions for respondent positions and in terms of recovering true respondent positions in simulations. The package contains functions for preparing data, fitting models, extracting estimates, plotting key results, and comparing models using cross-validation. The original version of the default model is described in Bølstad (2024) <doi:10.1017/pan.2023.18>.

This package provides a program that conducts group variable selection for quantile and robust mean regression (Sherwood and Li, 2022). The group lasso penalty (Yuan and Lin, 2006) is used for group-wise variable selection. Both of the quantile and mean regression models are based on the Huber loss. Specifically, with the tuning parameter in the Huber loss approaching to 0, the quantile check function can be approximated by the Huber loss for the median and the tilted version of Huber loss at other quantiles. Such approximation provides computational efficiency and stability, and has also been shown to be statistical consistent.

Creating effective colour palettes for figures is challenging. This package generates and plot palettes of optimally distinct colours in perceptually uniform colour space, based on iwanthue <http://tools.medialab.sciences-po.fr/iwanthue/>. This is done through k-means clustering of CIE Lab colour space, according to user-selected constraints on hue, chroma, and lightness.

The HistData package provides a collection of small data sets that are interesting and important in the history of statistics and data visualization. The goal of the package is to make these available, both for instructional use and for historical research. Some of these present interesting challenges for graphics or analysis in R.

Raster based flood modelling internally using hyd1d', an R package to interpolate 1d water level and gauging data. The package computes flood extent and duration through strategies originally developed for INFORM', an ArcGIS'-based hydro-ecological modelling framework. It does not provide a full, physical hydraulic modelling algorithm, but a simplified, near real time GIS approach for flood extent and duration modelling. Computationally demanding annual flood durations have been computed already and data products were published by Weber (2022) <doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.948042>.

Graphical model is an informative and powerful tool to explore the conditional dependence relationships among variables. The traditional Gaussian graphical model and its extensions either have a Gaussian assumption on the data distribution or assume the data are homogeneous. However, there are data with complex distributions violating these two assumptions. For example, the air pollutant concentration records are non-negative and, hence, non-Gaussian. Moreover, due to climate changes, distributions of these concentration records in different months of a year can be far different, which means it is uncertain whether datasets from different months are homogeneous. Methods with a Gaussian or homogeneous assumption may incorrectly model the conditional dependence relationships among variables. Therefore, we propose a heterogeneous graphical model for non-negative data (HGMND) to simultaneously cluster multiple datasets and estimate the conditional dependence matrix of variables from a non-Gaussian and non-negative exponential family in each cluster.

This package provides functions for testing affine hypotheses on the regression coefficient vector in regression models with heteroskedastic errors: (i) a function for computing various test statistics (in particular using HC0-HC4 covariance estimators based on unrestricted or restricted residuals); (ii) a function for numerically approximating the size of a test based on such test statistics and a user-supplied critical value; and, most importantly, (iii) a function for determining size-controlling critical values for such test statistics and a user-supplied significance level (also incorporating a check of conditions under which such a size-controlling critical value exists). The three functions are based on results in Poetscher and Preinerstorfer (2021) "Valid Heteroskedasticity Robust Testing" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2104.12597>, which will appear as <doi:10.1017/S0266466623000269>.

We provide functions for identifying the core community phylogeny in any microbiome, drawing phylogenetic Venn diagrams, calculating the core Faithâ s PD for a set of communities, and calculating the core UniFrac distance between two sets of communities. All functions rely on construction of a core community phylogeny, which is a phylogeny where branches are defined based on their presence in multiple samples from a single type of habitat. Our package provides two options for constructing the core community phylogeny, a tip-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of leaf nodes and a branch-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of individual branches. We suggest use of the microViz package.

This package provides a stand-alone function that generates a user specified number of random datasets and computes eigenvalues using the random datasets (i.e., implements Horn's [1965, Psychometrika] parallel analysis <doi:10.1007/BF02289447>). Users then compare the resulting eigenvalues (the mean or the specified percentile) from the random datasets (i.e., eigenvalues resulting from noise) to the eigenvalues generated with the user's data. Can be used for both principal components analysis (PCA) and common/exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The output table shows how large eigenvalues can be as a result of merely using randomly generated datasets. If the user's own dataset has actual eigenvalues greater than the corresponding eigenvalues, that lends support to retain that factor/component. In other words, if the i(th) eigenvalue from the actual data was larger than the percentile of the (i)th eigenvalue generated using randomly generated data, empirical support is provided to retain that factor/component.

This package implements the sample size methods for hierarchical 2x2 factorial trials under two choices of effect estimands and a series of hypothesis tests proposed in "Sample size calculation in hierarchical 2x2 factorial trials with unequal cluster sizes" (under review), and provides the table and plot generators for the sample size estimations.

This package provides HE plot and other functions for visualizing hypothesis tests in multivariate linear models. HE plots represent sums-of-squares-and-products matrices for linear hypotheses and for error using ellipses (in two dimensions) and ellipsoids (in three dimensions). It also provides other tools for analysis and graphical display of the models such as robust methods and homogeneity of variance covariance matrices. The related candisc package provides visualizations in a reduced-rank canonical discriminant space when there are more than a few response variables.

Objective: Implement new methods for detecting change points in high-dimensional time series data. These new methods can be applied to non-Gaussian data, account for spatial and temporal dependence, and detect a wide variety of change-point configurations, including changes near the boundary and changes in close proximity. Additionally, this package helps address the â small n, large pâ problem, which occurs in many research contexts. This problem arises when a dataset contains changes that are visually evident but do not rise to the level of statistical significance due to the small number of observations and large number of parameters. The problem is overcome by treating the dimensions as a whole and scaling the test statistics only by its standard deviation, rather than scaling each dimension individually. Due to the computational complexity of the functions, the package runs best on datasets with a relatively large number of attributes but no more than a few hundred observations.
