Implementations of the kernel measure of multi-sample dissimilarity (KMD) between several samples using K-nearest neighbor graphs and minimum spanning trees. The KMD measures the dissimilarity between multiple samples, based on the observations from them. It converges to the population quantity (depending on the kernel) which is between 0 and 1. A small value indicates the multiple samples are from the same distribution, and a large value indicates the corresponding distributions are different. The population quantity is 0 if and only if all distributions are the same, and 1 if and only if all distributions are mutually singular. The package also implements the tests based on KMD for H0: the M distributions are equal against H1: not all the distributions are equal. Both permutation test and asymptotic test are available. These tests are consistent against all alternatives where at least two samples have different distributions. For more details on KMD and the associated tests, see Huang, Z. and B. Sen (2022) <arXiv:2210.00634>.

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the L-Logistic distribution with parameters m and phi. The parameter m is the median of the distribution.

To decompose symmetric matrices such as brain connectivity matrices so that one can extract sparse latent component matrices and also estimate mixing coefficients, a blind source separation (BSS) method named LOCUS was proposed in Wang and Guo (2023) <arXiv:2008.08915>. For brain connectivity matrices, the outputs correspond to sparse latent connectivity traits and individual-level trait loadings.

Aids in learning statistical functions incorporating the result of calculus done with each function and how they are obtained, that is, which equation and variables are used. Also for all these equations and their related variables detailed explanations and interactive exercises are also included. All these characteristics allow to the package user to improve the learning of statistics basics by means of their use.

Modifying a load shape to match specific peak and load factor is a fundamental component for various power system planning and operation studies. This package is an efficient tool to modify a reference load shape while matching the desired peak and load factor. The package offers both linear and non-linear method, described in <https://rpubs.com/riazakhan94/load_shape_match_peak_energy>. The user can control the shape of the final load shape by regulating certain parameters. The package provides validation metrics for assessing the derived load shape in terms of preserving time series properties. It also offers powerful graphics, that allows the user to visually assess the derived load shape.

This package provides a flexible and easy-to use interface for the soil vegetation atmosphere transport (SVAT) model LWF-BROOK90, written in Fortran. The model simulates daily transpiration, interception, soil and snow evaporation, streamflow and soil water fluxes through a soil profile covered with vegetation, as described in Hammel & Kennel (2001, ISBN:978-3-933506-16-0) and Federer et al.

A set of high-level functions for model set up, execution and parallelization provides easy access to plot-level SVAT simulations, as well as multi-run and large-scale applications.

This package provides utilities to detect common data leakage patterns including train/test contamination, temporal leakage, and data duplication, enhancing model reliability and reproducibility in machine learning workflows.

Simulates categorical maps on actual geographical realms, starting from either empty landscapes or landscapes provided by the user (e.g. land use maps). Allows to tweak or create landscapes while retaining a high degree of control on its features, without the hassle of specifying each location attribute. In this it differs from other tools which generate null or neutral landscapes in a theoretical space. The basic algorithm currently implemented uses a simple agent style/cellular automata growth model, with no rules (apart from areas of exclusion) and von Neumann neighbourhood (four cells, aka Rook case). Outputs are raster dataset exportable to any common GIS format.

Random forests are a statistical learning method widely used in many areas of scientific research essentially for its ability to learn complex relationships between input and output variables and also its capacity to handle high-dimensional data. However, current random forests approaches are not flexible enough to handle longitudinal data. In this package, we propose a general approach of random forests for high-dimensional longitudinal data. It includes a flexible stochastic model which allows the covariance structure to vary over time. Furthermore, we introduce a new method which takes intra-individual covariance into consideration to build random forests. The method is fully detailled in Capitaine et.al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280220946080> Random forests for high-dimensional longitudinal data.

It is an extension of lmom R package: pel...()','cdf...()',qua...() function families are lumped and called from one function per each family respectively in order to create robust automatic tools to fit data with different probability distributions and then to estimate probability values and return periods. The implemented functions are able to manage time series with constant and/or missing values without stopping the execution with error messages. The package also contains tools to calculate several indices based on variability (e.g. SPI , Standardized Precipitation Index, see <https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data/standardized-precipitation-index-spi> and <http://spei.csic.es/>) for multiple time series or spatially gridded values.
