This package provides functions to compute and plot Krippendorff's inter-coder reliability coefficient alpha and bootstrapped uncertainty estimates (Krippendorff 2004, ISBN:0761915443). The bootstrap routines are set up to make use of parallel threads where supported.

This package implements tests for the identifying assumptions of instrumental variable models, the local exclusion restriction and monotonicity conditions required for local average treatment effect identification. Covers Kitagawa (2015) <doi:10.3982/ECTA11974>, Mourifie and Wan (2017) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00622>, and Frandsen, Lefgren, and Leslie (2023) <doi:10.1257/aer.20201860>.

An imprecise inference presented in the study of Walley (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02065.x> is one of the statistical reasoning methods when prior information is unavailable. Functions and utils needed for illustrating this inferential paradigm are implemented for classroom teaching and further comprehensive research. Two imprecise models are demonstrated using multinomial data and 2x2 contingency table data. The concepts of prior ignorance and imprecision are discussed in lower and upper probabilities. Representation invariance principle, hypothesis testing, decision-making, and further generalization are also illustrated.

This package implements the Interpolate, Truncate, Project (ITP) root-finding algorithm developed by Oliveira and Takahashi (2021) <doi:10.1145/3423597>. The user provides the function, from the real numbers to the real numbers, and an interval with the property that the values of the function at its endpoints have different signs. If the function is continuous over this interval then the ITP method estimates the value at which the function is equal to zero. If the function is discontinuous then a point of discontinuity at which the function changes sign may be found. The function can be supplied using either an R function or an external pointer to a C++ function. Tuning parameters of the ITP algorithm can be set by the user. Default values are set based on arguments in Oliveira and Takahashi (2021).

Extensive penalized variable selection methods have been developed in the past two decades for analyzing high dimensional omics data, such as gene expressions, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variations (CNVs) and others. However, lipidomics data have been rarely investigated by using high dimensional variable selection methods. This package incorporates our recently developed penalization procedures to conduct interaction analysis for high dimensional lipidomics data with repeated measurements. The core module of this package is developed in C++. The development of this software package and the associated statistical methods have been partially supported by an Innovative Research Award from Johnson Cancer Research Center, Kansas State University.

Advanced fuzzy logic based techniques are implemented to compute the similarity among different objects or items. Typically, application areas consist of transforming raw data into the corresponding advanced fuzzy logic representation and determining the similarity between two objects using advanced fuzzy similarity techniques in various fields of research, such as text classification, pattern recognition, software projects, decision-making, medical diagnosis, and market prediction. Functions are designed to compute the membership, non-membership, hesitant-membership, indeterminacy-membership, and refusal-membership for the input matrices. Furthermore, it also includes a large number of advanced fuzzy logic based similarity measure functions to compute the Intuitionistic fuzzy similarity (IFS), Pythagorean fuzzy similarity (PFS), and Spherical fuzzy similarity (SFS) between two objects or items based on their fuzzy relationships. It also includes working examples for each function with sample data sets.

This package performs hypothesis testing using the interval estimates (e.g., confidence intervals). The non-overlapping interval estimates indicates the statistical significance. References to these procedures can be found at Noguchi and Marmolejo-Ramos (2016) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2016.1200487>, Bonett and Seier (2003) <doi:10.1198/0003130032323>, and Lemm (2006) <doi:10.1300/J082v51n02_05>.

Fit parametric models for time-to-event data that show an initial incubation period', i.e., a variable delay phase where no events occur. The delayed Weibull distribution serves as the foundational data model. For parameter estimation, different flavours of maximum likelihood estimation ('MLE') and the method of maximum product of spacings estimation ('MPSE') are implemented. Bootstrap confidence intervals for parameters and significance tests in a two group setting are provided.

Package for training interpretable machine learning models. Historically, the most interpretable machine learning models were not very accurate, and the most accurate models were not very interpretable. Microsoft Research has developed an algorithm called the Explainable Boosting Machine (EBM) which has both high accuracy and interpretable characteristics. EBM uses machine learning techniques like bagging and boosting to breathe new life into traditional GAMs (Generalized Additive Models). This makes them as accurate as random forests and gradient boosted trees, and also enhances their intelligibility and editability. Details on the EBM algorithm can be found in the paper by Rich Caruana, Yin Lou, Johannes Gehrke, Paul Koch, Marc Sturm, and Noemie Elhadad (2015, <doi:10.1145/2783258.2788613>).

This software does Multi-Reader, Multi-Case (MRMC) analyses of data from imaging studies where clinicians (readers) evaluate patient images (cases). What does this mean? ... Many imaging studies are designed so that every reader reads every case in all modalities, a fully-crossed study. In this case, the data is cross-correlated, and we consider the readers and cases to be cross-correlated random effects. An MRMC analysis accounts for the variability and correlations from the readers and cases when estimating variances, confidence intervals, and p-values. The functions in this package can treat arbitrary study designs and studies with missing data, not just fully-crossed study designs. An overview of this software, including references presenting details on the methods, can be found here: <https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/science-and-research-medical-devices/imrmc-software-do-multi-reader-multi-case-statistical-analysis-reader-studies>.
