Fortune's (1987, <doi:10.1007/BF01840357>) algorithm is a very efficient method to perform Voronoi tessellation and Delaunay triangulation. This package is a port of the original code published in the early 1990's by Steven Fortune.

EQ-5D is a standard instrument (<https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/>) that measures the quality of life often used in clinical and economic evaluations of health care technologies. Both adult versions of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) contain a descriptive system and visual analog scale. The descriptive system measures the patient's health in 5 dimensions: the 5L versions has 5 levels and 3L version has 3 levels. The descriptive system scores are usually converted to index values using country specific values sets (that incorporates the country preferences). This package allows the calculation of both descriptive system scores to the index value scores. The value sets for EQ-5D-3L are from the references mentioned in the website <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-3l-about/valuation/> The value sets for EQ-5D-3L for a total of 31 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The value sets for EQ-5D-5L are obtained from references mentioned in the <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-5l-about/valuation-standard-value-sets/> and other sources. The value sets for EQ-5D-5L for a total of 17 countries are used for the valuation (see the user guide for a complete list of references). The package can also be used to map 5L scores to 3L index values for 10 countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe. The value set and method for mapping are obtained from Van Hout et al (2012) <doi: 10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>.

Estimates and plots as a heat map the correlation coefficients obtained via the wavelet local multiple correlation WLMC (Fernández-Macho 2018) and the dominant variable/s, i.e., the variable/s that maximizes the multiple correlation through time and scale (Polanco-Martà nez et al. 2020, Polanco-Martà nez 2022). We improve the graphical outputs of WLMC proposing a didactic and useful way to visualize the dominant variable(s) for a set of time series. The WLMC was designed for financial time series, but other kinds of data (e.g., climatic, ecological, etc.) can be used. The functions contained in VisualDom are highly flexible since these contains several parameters to personalize the time series under analysis and the heat maps. In addition, we have also included two data sets (named rdata_climate and rdata_Lorenz') to exemplify the use of the functions contained in VisualDom'. Methods derived from Fernández-Macho (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.physa.2017.11.050>, Polanco-Martà nez et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41598-020-77767-8> and Polanco-Martà nez (2023, in press).

This package contains functions for a variational Bayesian method for sparse PCA proposed by Ning (2020) <arXiv:2102.00305>. There are two algorithms: the PX-CAVI algorithm (if assuming the loadings matrix is jointly row-sparse) and the batch PX-CAVI algorithm (if without this assumption). The outputs of the main function, VBsparsePCA(), include the mean and covariance of the loadings matrix, the score functions, the variable selection results, and the estimated variance of the random noise.

Under a different representation of the multivariate normal (MVN) probability, we can use the Vecchia approximation to sample the integrand at a linear complexity with respect to n. Additionally, both the SOV algorithm from Genz (92) and the exponential-tilting method from Botev (2017) can be adapted to linear complexity. The reference for the method implemented in this package is Jian Cao and Matthias Katzfuss (2024) "Linear-Cost Vecchia Approximation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2311.09426>. Two major references for the development of our method are Alan Genz (1992) "Numerical Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" <doi:10.1080/10618600.1992.10477010> and Z. I. Botev (2017) "The Normal Law Under Linear Restrictions: Simulation and Estimation via Minimax Tilting" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1603.04166>.

An implementation of three procedures developed by John Tukey: FUNOP (FUll NOrmal Plot), FUNOR-FUNOM (FUll NOrmal Rejection-FUll NOrmal Modification), and vacuum cleaner. Combined, they provide a way to identify, treat, and analyze outliers in two-way (i.e., contingency) tables, as described in his landmark paper "The Future of Data Analysis", Tukey, John W. (1962) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2237638>.

The goal of vetiver is to provide fluent tooling to version, share, deploy, and monitor a trained model. Functions handle both recording and checking the model's input data prototype, and predicting from a remote API endpoint. The vetiver package is extensible, with generics that can support many kinds of models.

Full model selection (detection of the relevant features and estimation of the number of clusters) for model-based clustering (see reference here <doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9670-1>). Data to analyze can be continuous, categorical, integer or mixed. Moreover, missing values can occur and do not necessitate any pre-processing. Shiny application permits an easy interpretation of the results.

An algorithm for nonlinear global optimization based on the variable neighbourhood trust region search (VNTRS) algorithm proposed by Bierlaire et al. (2009) "A Heuristic for Nonlinear Global Optimization" <doi:10.1287/ijoc.1090.0343>. The algorithm combines variable neighbourhood exploration with a trust-region framework to efficiently search the solution space. It can terminate a local search early if the iterates are converging toward a previously visited local optimum or if further improvement within the current region is unlikely. In addition to global optimization, the algorithm can also be applied to identify multiple local optima.

Models categorical time series through a Markov Chain when a) covariates are predictors for transitioning into the next state/symbol and b) when the dependence in the past states has variable length. The probability of transitioning to the next state in the Markov Chain is defined by a multinomial regression whose parameters depend on the past states of the chain and, moreover, the number of states in the past needed to predict the next state also depends on the observed states themselves. See Zambom, Kim, and Garcia (2022) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12615>.

It provides a comprehensive toolkit for calculating a suite of common vegetation indices (VIs) derived from remote sensing imagery. VIs are essential tools used to quantify vegetation characteristics, such as biomass, leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthetic activity, which are essential parameters in various ecological, agricultural, and environmental studies. Applications of this package include biomass estimation, crop monitoring, forest management, land use and land cover change analysis and climate change studies. For method details see, Deb,D.,Deb,S.,Chakraborty,D.,Singh,J.P.,Singh,A.K.,Dutta,P.and Choudhury,A.(2020)<doi:10.1080/10106049.2020.1756461>. Utilizing this R package, users can effectively extract and analyze critical information from remote sensing imagery, enhancing their comprehension of vegetation dynamics and their importance in global ecosystems. The package includes the function vegetation_indices().
