This package implements an efficient algorithm for fitting the entire regularization path of quantile regression models with elastic-net penalties using a generalized coordinate descent scheme. The framework also supports SCAD and MCP penalties. It is designed for high-dimensional datasets and emphasizes numerical accuracy and computational efficiency. This package implements the algorithms proposed in Tang, Q., Zhang, Y., & Wang, B. (2022) <https://openreview.net/pdf?id=RvwMTDYTOb>.

Construction and analysis of multivalued zero-sum matrix games over the abstract space of probability distributions, which describe the losses in each scenario of defense vs. attack action. The distributions can be compiled directly from expert opinions or other empirical data (insofar available). The package implements the methods put forth in the EU project HyRiM (Hybrid Risk Management for Utility Networks), FP7 EU Project Number 608090. The method has been published in Rass, S., König, S., Schauer, S., 2016. Decisions with Uncertain Consequences-A Total Ordering on Loss-Distributions. PLoS ONE 11, e0168583. <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0168583>, and applied for advanced persistent thread modeling in Rass, S., König, S., Schauer, S., 2017. Defending Against Advanced Persistent Threats Using Game-Theory. PLoS ONE 12, e0168675. <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0168675>. A volume covering the wider range of aspects of risk management, partially based on the theory implemented in the package is the book edited by S. Rass and S. Schauer, 2018. Game Theory for Security and Risk Management: From Theory to Practice. Springer, <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-75268-6>, ISBN 978-3-319-75267-9.

Wrapper for Stan that offers a number of in-built models to implement a hierarchical Bayesian longitudinal model for repeat observation data. Model choice selects the differential equation that is fit to the observations. Single and multi-individual models are available. O'Brien et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14463>.

Inference approach for jointly modeling correlated count and binary outcomes. This formulation allows simultaneous modeling of zero inflation via the Bernoulli component while providing a more accurate assessment of the Hierarchical Zero-Inflated Poisson's parsimony (Lizandra C. Fabio, Jalmar M. F. Carrasco, Victor H. Lachos and Ming-Hui Chen, Likelihood-based inference for joint modeling of correlated count and binary outcomes with extra variability and zeros, 2025, under submission).

Implementation of the Hysteretic and Gatekeeping Depressions Model (HGDM) which calculates variable connected/contributing areas and resulting discharge volumes in prairie basins dominated by depressions ("slough" or "potholes"). The small depressions are combined into a single "meta" depression which explicitly models the hysteresis between the storage of water and the connected/contributing areas of the depressions. The largest (greater than 5% of the total depressional area) depression (if it exists) is represented separately to model its gatekeeping, i.e. the blocking of upstream flows until it is filled. The methodolgy is described in detail in Shook and Pomeroy (2025, <doi:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2025.132821>).

There are growing concerns on flow data in diverse fields including trade, migration, knowledge diffusion, disease spread, and transportation. The package is an effective visual support to learn the pattern of flow which is called halfcircle diagram. The flow between two nodes placed on the center line of a circle is represented using a half circle drawn from the origin to the destination in a clockwise direction. Through changing the order of nodes, the halfcircle diagram enables users to examine the complex relationship between bidirectional flow and each potential determinants. Furthermore, the halfmeancenter function, which calculates (un) weighted mean center of half circles, makes the comparison easier.

This package implements the Hierarchical Incremental GRAdient Descent (HiGrad) algorithm, a first-order algorithm for finding the minimizer of a function in online learning just like stochastic gradient descent (SGD). In addition, this method attaches a confidence interval to assess the uncertainty of its predictions. See Su and Zhu (2018) <arXiv:1802.04876> for details.

This package implements an estimation method for Hawkes processes when count data are only observed in discrete time, using a spectral approach derived from the Bartlett spectrum, see Cheysson and Lang (2020) <arXiv:2003.04314>. Some general use functions for Hawkes processes are also included: simulation of (in)homogeneous Hawkes process, maximum likelihood estimation, residual analysis, etc.

This package provides a local haplotyping tool for use in trait association and trait prediction analyses pipelines. HaploVar enables users take single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (in VCF format) and a linkage disequilibrium (LD) matrix, calculate local haplotypes and format the output to be compatible with a wide range of trait association and trait prediction tools. The local haplotypes are calculated from the LD matrix using a clustering algorithm called density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise ('DBSCAN') (Ester et al., 1996) <ISBN: 1577350049>.

The Hybrid design is a combination of model-assisted design (e.g., the modified Toxicity Probability Interval design) with dose-toxicity model-based design for phase I dose-finding studies. The hybrid design controls the overdosing toxicity well and leads to a recommended dose closer to the true maximum tolerated dose (MTD) due to its ability to calibrate for an intermediate dose. More details can be found in Liao et al. 2022 <doi:10.1002/ijc.34203>.

This package performs Gaussian process regression with heteroskedastic noise following the model by Binois, M., Gramacy, R., Ludkovski, M. (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1611.05902>, with implementation details in Binois, M. & Gramacy, R. B. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i13>. The input dependent noise is modeled as another Gaussian process. Replicated observations are encouraged as they yield computational savings. Sequential design procedures based on the integrated mean square prediction error and lookahead heuristics are provided, and notably fast update functions when adding new observations.

Several functions that allow by different methods to infer a piecewise polynomial regression model under regularity constraints, namely continuity or differentiability of the link function. The implemented functions are either specific to data with two regimes, or generic for any number of regimes, which can be given by the user or learned by the algorithm. A paper describing all these methods will be submitted soon. The reference will be added to this file as soon as available.
