This algorithm is described in detail in the paper "Hedging Forecast Combinations With an Application to the Random Forest" by Beck et al.

The package provides a function hedgedrf() that can be used to train a Hedged Random Forest model on a dataset, and a function predict.hedgedrf() that can be used to make predictions with the model.

Method and tool for generating hybrid time series forecasts using an error remodeling approach. These forecasting approaches utilize a recursive technique for modeling the linearity of the series using a linear method (e.g., ARIMA, Theta, etc.) and then models (forecasts) the residuals of the linear forecaster using non-linear neural networks (e.g., ANN, ARNN, etc.). The hybrid architectures comprise three steps: firstly, the linear patterns of the series are forecasted which are followed by an error re-modeling step, and finally, the forecasts from both the steps are combined to produce the final output. This method additionally provides the confidence intervals as needed. Ten different models can be implemented using this package. This package generates different types of hybrid error correction models for time series forecasting based on the algorithms by Zhang. (2003), Chakraborty et al. (2019), Chakraborty et al. (2020), Bhattacharyya et al. (2021), Chakraborty et al. (2022), and Bhattacharyya et al.

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.

The hydReng package provides a set of functions for hydraulic engineering tasks and natural hazard assessments. It includes basic hydraulics (wetted area, wetted perimeter, flow, flow velocity, flow depth, and maximum flow) for open channels with arbitrary geometry under uniform flow conditions. For structures such as circular pipes, weirs, and gates, the package includes calculations for pressure flow, backwater depth, and overflow over a weir crest. Additionally, it provides formulas for calculating bedload transport. The formulas used can be found in standard literature on hydraulics, such as Bollrich (2019, ISBN:978-3-410-29169-5) or Hager (2011, ISBN:978-3-642-77430-0).

Given a high-dimensional dataset that typically represents a cytometry dataset, and a subset of the datapoints, this algorithm outputs an hyperrectangle so that datapoints within the hyperrectangle best correspond to the specified subset. In essence, this allows the conversion of clustering algorithms outputs to gating strategies outputs.

We provide an R tool for computation and nonparametric plug-in estimation of Highest Density Regions (HDRs) and general level sets in the directional setting. Concretely, circular and spherical HDRs can be reconstructed from a data sample following Saavedra-Nieves and Crujeiras (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00457-4>. This library also contains two real datasets in the circular and spherical settings. The first one concerns a problem from animal orientation studies and the second one is related to earthquakes occurrences.

Factor models have been widely applied in areas such as economics and finance, and the well-known heavy-tailedness of macroeconomic/financial data should be taken into account when conducting factor analysis. We propose two algorithms to do robust factor analysis by considering the Huber loss. One is based on minimizing the Huber loss of the idiosyncratic error's L2 norm, which turns out to do Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the weighted sample covariance matrix and thereby named as Huber PCA. The other one is based on minimizing the element-wise Huber loss, which can be solved by an iterative Huber regression algorithm. In this package we also provide the code for traditional PCA, the Robust Two Step (RTS) method by He et al. (2022) and the Quantile Factor Analysis (QFA) method by Chen et al. (2021) and He et al. (2023).

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 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/>.
