Quality of life functions for interactive programming. Shortcuts for common combinations of functions or different default arguments. Not to be used in production level scripts, but useful for exploring and quickly manipulating data for easy analysis. Also imports a variety of packages to facilitate the installation of those imported packages on the host machine.

This package provides a spatial smoothing algorithm based on convolutions of finite rectangular kernels that provides sharp resolution in the presence of high levels of noise.

This package implements the vine copula based kernel density estimator of Nagler and Czado (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2016.07.003>. The estimator does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and is therefore well suited for high-dimensional applications.

Create a kite-square plot for contingency tables using ggplot2', to display their relevant quantities in a single figure (marginal, conditional, expected, observed, chi-squared). The plot resembles a flying kite inside a square if the variables are independent, and deviates from this the more dependence exists.

Assists researchers in choosing Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in a network to help disseminate or encourage adoption of an innovation by other network members. Potential KOL teams are evaluated using the ABCDE framework (Neal et al., 2025 <doi:10.31219/osf.io/3vxy9_v1>). This framework which considers: (1) the team members Availability, (2) the Breadth of the team's network coverage, (3) the Cost of recruiting a team of a given size, and (4) the Diversity of the team's members, (5) which are pooled into a single Evaluation score.

The sampl.mcmc function creates samples of the feasible region of a knapsack problem with both equalities and inequalities constraints.

It predicts any attribute (categorical) given a set of input numeric predictor values. Note that only numeric input predictors should be given. The k value can be chosen according to accuracies provided. The attribute to be predicted can be selected from the dropdown provided (select categorical attribute). This is because categorical attributes cannot be given as inputs here. A handsontable is also provided to enter the input predictor values.

The King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) is a disease-specific, self-administered questionnaire designed specific to assess the impact of Urinary Incontinence (UI) on Quality of Life. The questionnaire was developed by Kelleher and collaborators (1997) <doi:10.1111/j.1471-0528.1997.tb11006.x>. It is a simple, acceptable and reliable measure to use in the clinical setting and a research tool that is useful in evaluating UI treatment outcomes. The KHQ five dimensions (KHQ5D) is a condition-specific preference-based measure developed by Brazier and collaborators (2008) <doi:10.1177/0272989X07301820>. Although not as popular as the SF6D <doi:10.1016/S0895-4356(98)00103-6> and EQ-5D <https://euroqol.org/>, the KHQ5D measures health-related quality of life (HRQoL) specifically for UI, not general conditions like the others two instruments mentioned. The KHQ5D ca be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care. The subject self-rates their health in terms of five dimensions: Role Limitation (RL), Physical Limitations (PL), Social Limitations (SL), Emotions (E), and Sleep (S). Frequently the states on these five dimensions are converted to a single utility index using country specific value sets, which can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care as well as in population health surveys. This package provides methods to calculate scores for each dimension of the KHQ; converts KHQ item scores to KHQ5D scores; and also calculates the utility index of the KHQ5D.

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.

State space modelling is an efficient and flexible framework for statistical inference of a broad class of time series and other data. KFAS includes computationally efficient functions for Kalman filtering, smoothing, forecasting, and simulation of multivariate exponential family state space models, with observations from Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, and gamma distributions. See the paper by Helske (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v078.i10> for details.

Allows analyzing time series representing two-dimensional movements. It accepts a data frame with a time (t), horizontal (x) and vertical (y) coordinate as columns, and returns several dynamical properties such as speed, acceleration or curvature.

Implementation for Kendall functional principal component analysis. Kendall functional principal component analysis is a robust functional principal component analysis technique for non-Gaussian functional/longitudinal data. The crucial function of this package is KFPCA() and KFPCA_reg(). Moreover, least square estimates of functional principal component scores are also provided.

Many data science problems reduce to operations on very tall, skinny matrices. However, sometimes these matrices can be so tall that they are difficult to work with, or do not even fit into main memory. One strategy to deal with such objects is to distribute their rows across several processors. To this end, we offer an S4 class for tall, skinny, distributed matrices, called the shaq'. We also provide many useful numerical methods and statistics operations for operating on these distributed objects. The naming is a bit "tongue-in-cheek", with the class a play on the fact that Shaquille ONeal ('Shaq') is very tall, and he starred in the film Kazaam'.
