This is a collection of data and functions for common metrics in political science research. Data measuring ideology, and functions calculating geographical diffusion and ideological diffusion - geog.diffuse() and ideo.dist(), respectively. Functions derived from methods developed in: Soule and King (2006) <doi:10.1086/499908>, Berry et al. (1998) <doi:10.2307/2991759>, Cruz-Aceves and Mallinson (2019) <doi:10.1177/0160323X20902818>, and Grossback et al. (2004) <doi:10.1177/1532673X04263801>.

This uses a mixed integer mathematical programming (MIP) approach for building and solving multi-action planning problems, where the goal is to find an optimal combination of management actions that abate threats, in an efficient way while accounting for spatial aspects. Thus, optimizing the connectivity and conservation effectiveness of the prioritized units and of the deployed actions. The package is capable of handling different commercial (gurobi, CPLEX) and non-commercial (symphony, CBC) MIP solvers. Gurobi optimization solver can be installed using comprehensive instructions in the gurobi installation vignette of the prioritizr package (available in <https://prioritizr.net/articles/gurobi_installation_guide.html>). Instead, CPLEX optimization solver can be obtain from IBM CPLEX web page (available here <https://www.ibm.com/es-es/products/ilog-cplex-optimization-studio>). Additionally, the rcbc R package (available at <https://github.com/dirkschumacher/rcbc>) can be used to obtain solutions using the CBC optimization software (<https://github.com/coin-or/Cbc>). Methods used in the package refers to Salgado-Rojas et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.108901>, Beyer et al. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2016.02.005>, Cattarino et al. (2015) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0128027> and Watts et al. (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2009.06.005>. See the prioriactions website for more information, documentations and examples.

Model-implied simulation-based power estimation (MSPE) for nonlinear (and linear) SEM, path analysis and regression analysis. A theoretical framework is used to approximate the relation between power and sample size for given type I error rates and effect sizes. The package offers an adaptive search algorithm to find the optimal N for given effect sizes and type I error rates. Plots can be used to visualize the power relation to N for different parameters of interest (POI). Theoretical justifications are given in Irmer et al. (2024a) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/pe5bj> and detailed description are given in Irmer et al. (2024b) <doi:10.3758/s13428-024-02476-3>.

This package provides functions for creating color palettes, visualizing palettes, modifying colors, and assigning colors for plotting.

This package implements estimation and testing procedures for evaluating an intermediate biomarker response as a principal surrogate of a clinical response to treatment (i.e., principal stratification effect modification analysis), as described in Juraska M, Huang Y, and Gilbert PB (2020), Inference on treatment effect modification by biomarker response in a three-phase sampling design, Biostatistics, 21(3): 545-560 <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy074>. The methods avoid the restrictive placebo structural risk modeling assumption common to past methods and further improve robustness by the use of nonparametric kernel smoothing for biomarker density estimation. A randomized controlled two-group clinical efficacy trial is assumed with an ordered categorical or continuous univariate biomarker response measured at a fixed timepoint post-randomization and with a univariate baseline surrogate measure allowed to be observed in only a subset of trial participants with an observed biomarker response (see the flexible three-phase sampling design in the paper for details). Bootstrap-based procedures are available for pointwise and simultaneous confidence intervals and testing of four relevant hypotheses. Summary and plotting functions are provided for estimation results.

Visualizes panel data. It has four main functionalities: (1) it plots the treatment status and missing values in a panel dataset; (2) it visualizes the temporal dynamics of a main variable of interest; (3) it depicts the bivariate relationships between a treatment variable and an outcome variable either by unit or in aggregate; (4) it displays the network structure of multi-way fixed effects as a k-partite graph, identifying connected components, singletons, and duplicate observations. For details, see <doi:10.18637/jss.v107.i07>.

Conduct multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) and QTL-by-environment interaction (QEI) mapping via ordinary or compressed variance component mixed models with random- or fixed QTL/QEI effects. First, each position on the genome is detected in order to obtain a negative logarithm P-value curve against genome position. Then, all the peaks on each effect (additive or dominant) curve or on each locus curve are viewed as potential main-effect QTLs and QEIs, all their effects are included in a multi-locus model, their effects are estimated by both least angle regression and empirical Bayes (or adaptive lasso) in backcross and F2 populations, and true QTLs and QEIs are identified by likelihood radio test. See Zhou et al. (2022) <doi:10.1093/bib/bbab596> and Wen et al. (2018) <doi:10.1093/bib/bby058>.

Functionality to read, recode, and transcode data as used in quantitative language comparison, specifically to deal with multilingual orthographic variation (Moran & Cysouw (2018) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.1296780>) and with the recoding of nominal data.

This package implements the Quantile Composite-based Path Modeling approach (Davino and Vinzi, 2016 <doi:10.1007/s11634-015-0231-9>; Dolce et al., 2021 <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00469-0>). The method complements the traditional PLS Path Modeling approach, analyzing the entire distribution of outcome variables and, therefore, overcoming the classical exploration of only average effects. It exploits quantile regression to investigate changes in the relationships among constructs and between constructs and observed variables.
