This package provides a set of regular time-series datasets, describing the US electricity grid. That includes the total demand and supply, and as well as the demand by energy source (coal, solar, wind, etc.). Source: US Energy Information Administration (Dec 2019) <https://www.eia.gov/>.

Compiled and cleaned the county-level estimates of fertilizer, nitrogen and phosphorus, from 1945 to 2012 in United States of America (USA). The commercial fertilizer data were originally generated by USGS based on the sales data of commercial fertilizer. The manure data were estimated based on county-level population data of livestock, poultry, and other animals. See the user manual for detailed data sources and cleaning methods. usfertilizer utilized the tidyverse to clean the original data and provide user-friendly dataframe. Please note that USGS does not endorse this package. Also data from 1986 is not available for now.

This package provides functions for uniform sampling of the environmental space, designed to assist species distribution modellers in gathering ecologically relevant pseudo-absence data. The method ensures balanced representation of environmental conditions and helps reduce sampling bias in model calibration. Based on the framework described by Da Re et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14209>.

This package implements various independence tests for discrete, continuous, and infinite-dimensional data. The tests are based on a U-statistic permutation test, the USP of Berrett, Kontoyiannis and Samworth (2020) <arXiv:2001.05513>, and shown to be minimax rate optimal in a wide range of settings. As the permutation principle is used, all tests have exact, non-asymptotic Type I error control at the nominal level.

Implementation of the unity forest (UFO) framework (Hornung & Hapfelmeier, 2026, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2601.07003>). UFOs are a random forest variant designed to better take covariates with purely interaction-based effects into account, including interactions for which none of the involved covariates exhibits a marginal effect. While this framework tends to improve discrimination and predictive accuracy compared to standard random forests, it also facilitates the identification and interpretation of (marginal or interactive) effects: In addition to the UFO algorithm for tree construction, the package includes the unity variable importance measure (unity VIM), which quantifies covariate effects under the conditions in which they are strongest - either marginally or within subgroups defined by interactions - as well as covariate-representative tree roots (CRTRs) that provide interpretable visualizations of these conditions. Currently, only classification is supported. This package is a fork of the R package ranger (main author: Marvin N. Wright), which implements random forests using an efficient C++ backend.

Define and use graphical elements of corporate design manuals in R. The unikn package provides color functions (by defining dedicated colors and color palettes, and commands for finding, changing, viewing, and using them) and styled text elements (e.g., for marking, underlining, or plotting colored titles). The pre-defined range of colors and text decoration functions is based on the corporate design of the University of Konstanz <https://www.uni-konstanz.de/>, but can be adapted and extended for other purposes or institutions.

Univariate spline regression. It is possible to add the shape constraint of unimodality and predefined or self-defined penalties on the B-spline coefficients.

We propose a new procedure, called model uncertainty variance, which can quantify the uncertainty of model selection on Autoregressive Moving Average models. The model uncertainty variance not pay attention to the accuracy of prediction, but focus on model selection uncertainty and providing more information of the model selection results. And to estimate the model measures, we propose an simplify and faster algorithm based on bootstrap method, which is proven to be effective and feasible by Monte-Carlo simulation. At the same time, we also made some optimizations and adjustments to the Model Confidence Bounds algorithm, so that it can be applied to the time series model selection method. The consistency of the algorithm result is also verified by Monte-Carlo simulation.

This program realizes a universal estimation approach that accommodates multi-category variables and effect scales, making up for the deficiencies of the existing approaches when dealing with non-binary exposures and complex models. The estimation via bootstrapping can simultaneously provide results of causal mediation on risk difference (RD), odds ratio (OR) and risk ratio (RR) scales with tests of the effects difference. The estimation is also applicable to many other settings, e.g., moderated mediation, inconsistent covariates, panel data, etc. The high flexibility and compatibility make it possible to apply for any type of model, greatly meeting the needs of current empirical researches.
