Clustering typically assigns data points into discrete groups, but the clusters can sometimes be indistinct. Cluster sharpening adjusts an existing clustering to create contrast between groups. This package provides a general interface for cluster sharpening along with several implementations based on different excision criteria.

This package provides a novel implementation that solves the linear distance weighted discrimination and the kernel distance weighted discrimination. Reference: Wang and Zou (2018) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12244>.

Given constraints for right censored data, we use a recursive computational algorithm to calculate the the "constrained" Kaplan-Meier estimator. The constraint is assumed given in linear estimating equations or mean functions. We also illustrate how this leads to the empirical likelihood ratio test with right censored data and accelerated failure time model with given coefficients. EM algorithm from emplik package is used to get the initial value. The properties and performance of the EM algorithm is discussed in Mai Zhou and Yifan Yang (2015)<doi: 10.1007/s00180-015-0567-9> and Mai Zhou and Yifan Yang (2017) <doi: 10.1002/wics.1400>. More applications could be found in Mai Zhou (2015) <doi: 10.1201/b18598>.

Extends the simple k-nearest neighbors algorithm by incorporating numerous kernel functions and a variety of distance metrics. The package takes advantage of RcppArmadillo to speed up the calculation of distances between observations.

Training and evaluating k-gram language models in R, supporting several probability smoothing techniques, perplexity computations, random text generation and more.

This package implements a quantified approach to the Kraljic Matrix (Kraljic, 1983, <https://hbr.org/1983/09/purchasing-must-become-supply-management>) for strategically analyzing a firmâ s purchasing portfolio. It combines multi-objective decision analysis to measure purchasing characteristics and uses this information to place products and services within the Kraljic Matrix.

This package provides a shiny app to visualize the knowledge networks for the code concepts. Using co-occurrence matrices of EHR codes from Veterans Affairs (VA) and Massachusetts General Brigham (MGB), the knowledge extraction via sparse embedding regression (KESER) algorithm was used to construct knowledge networks for the code concepts. Background and details about the method can be found at Chuan et al. (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41746-021-00519-z>.

Matches a data set with semi-structured address data, e.g., street and house number as a concatenated string, wrongly spelled street names or non-existing house numbers to a reference index. The methods are specifically designed for German municipalities ('KOR'-community) and German address schemes.

Helper functions for creating formatted summary of regression models, writing publication-ready tables to latex files, and running Monte Carlo experiments.

Distance metrics for mixed-type data consisting of continuous, nominal, and ordinal variables. This methodology uses additive and product kernels to calculate similarity functions and metrics, and selects variables relevant to the underlying distance through bandwidth selection via maximum similarity cross-validation. These methods can be used in any distance-based algorithm, such as distance-based clustering. For further details, we refer the reader to Ghashti and Thompson (2024) <doi:10.1007/s00357-024-09493-z> for dkps() methodology, and Ghashti (2024) <doi:10.14288/1.0443975> for dkss() methodology.

Helps make implicit data assumptions explicit by attaching keys to flat-file data that error when those assumptions are violated. Designed for CSV-first workflows without database infrastructure or version control. Provides key definition, assumption checks, join diagnostics, and automatic drift detection via watched data frames that snapshot before each transformation and report cell-level changes.

Convert an R Markdown documents into an .xlsx spreadsheet reports with the knitxl() function, which works similarly to knit() from the knitr package. The generated report can be opened in Excel or similar software for further analysis and presentation.

Read Swiss time series data from the KOF Data API, <https://datenservice.kof.ethz.ch>. The API provides macro economic time series data mostly about Switzerland. The package itself is a set of wrappers around the KOF Datenservice API. The kofdata package is able to consume public information as well as data that requires an API token.

This package provides tools for applying Krippendorff's Alpha methodology <DOI:10.1080/19312450709336664>. Both the customary methodology and Hughes methodology <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2210.13265> are supported, the former being preferred for larger datasets, the latter for smaller datasets. The framework supports common and user-defined distance functions, and can accommodate any number of units, any number of coders, and missingness. Interval estimation can be done in parallel for either methodology.
