This package provides functions to build, evaluate, and visualize insurance rating models. It simplifies the process of modeling premiums, and allows to analyze insurance risk factors effectively. The package employs a data-driven strategy for constructing insurance tariff classes, drawing on the work of Antonio and Valdez (2012) <doi:10.1007/s10182-011-0152-7>.

Applying the family of the Bayesian Expectation-Maximization-Maximization (BEMM) algorithm to estimate: (1) Three parameter logistic (3PL) model proposed by Birnbaum (1968, ISBN:9780201043105); (2) four parameter logistic (4PL) model proposed by Barton & Lord (1981) <doi:10.1002/j.2333-8504.1981.tb01255.x>; (3) one parameter logistic guessing (1PLG) and (4) one parameter logistic ability-based guessing (1PLAG) models proposed by San Martà n et al (2006) <doi:10.1177/0146621605282773>. The BEMM family includes (1) the BEMM algorithm for 3PL model proposed by Guo & Zheng (2019) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01175>; (2) the BEMM algorithm for 1PLG model and (3) the BEMM algorithm for 1PLAG model proposed by Guo, Wu, Zheng, & Chen (2021) <doi:10.1177/0146621621990761>; (4) the BEMM algorithm for 4PL model proposed by Zheng, Guo, & Kern (2021) <doi:10.1177/21582440211052556>; and (5) their maximum likelihood estimation versions proposed by Zheng, Meng, Guo, & Liu (2018) <doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2017.02302>. Thus, both Bayesian modal estimates and maximum likelihood estimates are available.

This package provides a user-friendly toolbox for doing the statistical analysis of interval-valued responses in questionnaires measuring intrinsically imprecise human attributes or features (attitudes, perceptions, opinions, feelings, etc.). In particular, this package provides S4 classes, methods, and functions in order to compute basic arithmetic and statistical operations with interval-valued data; prepare customized plots; associate each interval-valued response to its equivalent Likert-type and visual analogue scales answers through the minimum theta-distance and the mid-point criteria; analyze the reliability of respondents answers from the internal consistency point of view by means of Cronbach's alpha coefficient; and simulate interval-valued responses in this type of questionnaires. The package also incorporates some real-life data that can be used to illustrate its working with several non-trivial reproducible examples. The methodology used in this package is based in many theoretical and applied publications from SMIRE+CoDiRE (Statistical Methods with Imprecise Random Elements and Comparison of Distributions of Random Elements) Research Group (<https://bellman.ciencias.uniovi.es/smire+codire/>) from the University of Oviedo (Spain).

Implementing the interventional effects for mediation analysis for up to 3 mediators. The methods used are based on VanderWeele, Vansteelandt and Robins (2014) <doi:10.1097/ede.0000000000000034>, Vansteelandt and Daniel (2017) <doi:10.1097/ede.0000000000000596> and Chan and Leung (2020; unpublished manuscript, available on request from the author of this package). Linear regression, logistic regression and Poisson regression are used for continuous, binary and count mediator/outcome variables respectively.

Simulate an inhomogeneous self-exciting process (IHSEP), or Hawkes process, with a given (possibly time-varying) baseline intensity and an excitation function. Calculate the likelihood of an IHSEP with given baseline intensity and excitation functions for an (increasing) sequence of event times. Calculate the point process residuals (integral transforms of the original event times). Calculate the mean intensity process.

The core of the package is cvr2.ipflasso(), an extension of glmnet to be used when the (large) set of available predictors is partitioned into several modalities which potentially differ with respect to their information content in terms of prediction. For example, in biomedical applications patient outcome such as survival time or response to therapy may have to be predicted based on, say, mRNA data, miRNA data, methylation data, CNV data, clinical data, etc. The clinical predictors are on average often much more important for outcome prediction than the mRNA data. The ipflasso method takes this problem into account by using different penalty parameters for predictors from different modalities. The ratio between the different penalty parameters can be chosen from a set of optional candidates by cross-validation or alternatively generated from the input data.
