My PhD supervisor once told me that everyone doing newspaper analysis starts by writing code to read in files from the LexisNexis newspaper archive (retrieved e.g., from <https://www.lexisnexis.com/> or any of the partner sites). However, while this is a nice exercise I do recommend, not everyone has the time. This package takes files downloaded from the newspaper archive of LexisNexis', reads them into R and offers functions for further processing.

Fast calculation of Area Under Curve (AUC) metric of a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, using the algorithm of Fawcett (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.patrec.2005.10.010>. Therefore it is appropriate for large-scale AUC metric calculations.

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a global study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in member and non-member countries to assess educational systems by assessing 15-year-old school students academic performance in mathematics, science, and reading.

Managing and exploring parameter estimation results derived from Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) using the likelihood package. It provides functions for organizing, visualizing, and summarizing MLE outcomes, streamlining statistical analysis workflows. By improving interpretation and facilitating model evaluation, it helps users gain deeper insights into parameter estimation and model fitting, making MLE result exploration more efficient and accessible. See Goffe et al. (1994) <doi:10.1016/0304-4076(94)90038-8> for details on MLE, and Canham and Uriarte (2006) <doi:10.1890/04-0657> for application of MLE using likelihood'.

This package provides functions to upload vectorial data and derive landscape connectivity metrics in habitat or matrix systems. Additionally, includes an approach to assess individual patch contribution to the overall landscape connectivity, enabling the prioritization of habitat patches. The computation of landscape connectivity and patch importance are very useful in Landscape Ecology research. The metrics available are: number of components, number of links, size of the largest component, mean size of components, class coincidence probability, landscape coincidence probability, characteristic path length, expected cluster size, area-weighted flux and integral index of connectivity.

This package performs analysis of Differential Item Functioning (DIF) for dichotomous and polytomous items using an iterative hybrid of ordinal logistic regression and item response theory (IRT) according to Choi, Gibbons, and Crane (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v039.i08>.

This package provides a set of tools designed to enhance transparency and understanding of date-time manipulation functions from the lubridate package. It provides detailed feedback about the operations performed by lubridate functions, allowing users to better comprehend and debug their code. These insights serve as both a learning tool for newcomers and a debugging aid for programmers working with date-time data.

European Commission's Labour Market Policy (LMP) database (<https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/empl/redisstat/databrowser/explore/all/lmp?lang=en&display=card&sort=category>) provides information on labour market interventions, which are government actions to help and support the unemployed and other disadvantaged groups in the transition from unemployment or inactivity to work. It covers the EU countries and Norway. This package provides functions for downloading and importing the LMP data and metadata (codelists).

This package performs likelihood-based inference for stationary time series extremes. The general approach follows Fawcett and Walshaw (2012) <doi:10.1002/env.2133>. Marginal extreme value inferences are adjusted for cluster dependence in the data using the methodology in Chandler and Bate (2007) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asm015>, producing an adjusted log-likelihood for the model parameters. A log-likelihood for the extremal index is produced using the K-gaps model of Suveges and Davison (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS292>. These log-likelihoods are combined to make inferences about extreme values. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches are available.

Set of tools for mapping of categorical response variables based on principal component analysis (pca) and multidimensional unfolding (mdu).

High dimensional longitudinal data analysis with Markov Chain Monte Carlo(MCMC). Currently support mixed effect regression with or without missing observations by considering covariance structures. It provides estimates by missing at random and missing not at random assumptions. In this R package, we present Bayesian approaches that statisticians and clinical researchers can easily use. The functions methodology is based on the book "Bayesian Approaches in Oncology Using R and OpenBUGS" by Bhattacharjee A (2020) <doi:10.1201/9780429329449-14>.

This package provides functions for the implementation of a density goodness-of-fit test, based on piecewise approximation of the L2 distance.

Here we provide an implementation of the linear and logistic regression-based Reliable Change Index (RCI), to be used with lm and binomial glm model objects, respectively, following Moral et al. <https://psyarxiv.com/gq7az/>. The RCI function returns a score assumed to be approximately normally distributed, which is helpful to detect patients that may present cognitive decline.

This package provides a wrapper around the LIBLINEAR C/C++ library for machine learning (available at <https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/liblinear/>). LIBLINEAR is a simple library for solving large-scale regularized linear classification and regression. It currently supports L2-regularized classification (such as logistic regression, L2-loss linear SVM and L1-loss linear SVM) as well as L1-regularized classification (such as L2-loss linear SVM and logistic regression) and L2-regularized support vector regression (with L1- or L2-loss). The main features of LiblineaR include multi-class classification (one-vs-the rest, and Crammer & Singer method), cross validation for model selection, probability estimates (logistic regression only) or weights for unbalanced data. The estimation of the models is particularly fast as compared to other libraries.

This package contains some functions to learn and teach basic plane Geometry at undergraduate level with the aim of being helpful to young students with little programming skills.
