This package provides regularized structural equation modeling (regularized SEM) with non-smooth penalty functions (e.g., lasso) building on lavaan'. The package is heavily inspired by the ['regsem'](<https://github.com/Rjacobucci/regsem>) and ['lslx'](<https://github.com/psyphh/lslx>) packages.

Calculate mean statistics and leaf angle distribution type from measured leaf inclination angles. LAD distribution is fitted using a two-parameters (mu, nu) Beta distribution and compared with six theoretical LAD distributions. Additional information is provided in Chianucci and Cesaretti (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.10.28.513998>.

Several leaflet plugins are integrated, which are available as extension to the leaflet package.

This package provides a graphical user interface with an integrated diagrammer for latent variable models from the lavaan package. It offers two core functions: first, lavaangui() launches a web application that allows users to specify models by drawing path diagrams, fitting them, assessing model fit, and more; second, plot_lavaan() creates interactive path diagrams from models specified in lavaan'. Karch (2024) <doi: 10.1080/10705511.2024.2420678> contains a tutorial.

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.

Due to lack of proper inference procedure and software, the ordinary linear regression model is seldom used in practice for the analysis of right censored data. This paper presents an S-Plus/R program that implements a recently developed inference procedure (Jin, Lin and Ying, 2006) <doi:10.1093/biomet/93.1.147> for the accelerated failure time model based on the least-squares principle.

Estimate the slope and intercept of a bivariate linear relationship by calculating a posterior density that is invariant to interchange and scaling of the coordinates.

This package provides functions to sample from the double log normal distribution and calculate the density, distribution and quantile functions.

Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on symmetric lambda distribution framework is implemented for the study of return time-series in the financial market. Major features in the S&P500 index, such as regime identification, volatility clustering, and anti-correlation between return and volatility, can be extracted from HMM cleanly. Univariate symmetric lambda distribution is essentially a location-scale family of exponential power distribution. Such distribution is suitable for describing highly leptokurtic time series obtained from the financial market. It provides a theoretically solid foundation to explore such data where the normal distribution is not adequate. The HMM implementation follows closely the book: "Hidden Markov Models for Time Series", by Zucchini, MacDonald, Langrock (2016).

LineUp is an interactive technique designed to create, visualize and explore rankings of items based on a set of heterogeneous attributes. This is a htmlwidget wrapper around the JavaScript library LineUp.js'. It is designed to be used in R Shiny apps and R Markddown files. Due to an outdated webkit version of RStudio it won't work in the integrated viewer.

Estimates marginal likelihood from a posterior sample using the method described in Wang et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syad007>, which does not require evaluation of any additional points and requires only the log of the unnormalized posterior density for each sampled parameter vector.

This package provides extensions for packages leaflet & mapdeck', many of which are used by package mapview'. Focus is on functionality readily available in Geographic Information Systems such as Quantum GIS'. Includes functions to display coordinates of mouse pointer position, query image values via mouse pointer and zoom-to-layer buttons. Additionally, provides a feature type agnostic function to add points, lines, polygons to a map.

Compute power and sample size for linear models of longitudinal data. Supported models include mixed-effects models and models fit by generalized least squares and generalized estimating equations. The package is described in Iddi and Donohue (2022) <DOI:10.32614/RJ-2022-022>. Relevant formulas are derived by Liu and Liang (1997) <DOI:10.2307/2533554>, Diggle et al (2002) <ISBN:9780199676750>, and Lu, Luo, and Chen (2008) <DOI:10.2202/1557-4679.1098>.

An implementation of a method of extending a logistic regression model beyond linear effects of the co-variates. The extension in is constructed by first equating the logistic regression model to a naive Bayes model where all the margins are specified to follow natural exponential distributions conditional on Y, that is, a model for Y given X that is specified through the distribution of X given Y, where the columns of X are assumed to be mutually independent conditional on Y. Subsequently, the model is expanded by adding vine - copulas to relax the assumption of mutual independence, where pair-copulas are added in a stage-wise, forward selection manner. Some heuristics are employed during the process of selecting edges, as well as the families of pair-copula models. After each component is added, the parameters are updated by a (smaller) number of gradient steps to maximise the likelihood. When the algorithm has stopped adding edges, based the criterion that a new edge should improve the likelihood more than k times the number new parameters, the parameters are updated with a larger number of gradient steps, or until convergence.

This package provides functions to fits simple linear regression models with log normal errors and identity link, i.e. taking the responses on the original scale. See Muggeo (2018) <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.18118.16965>.

Temporary and permanent message queues for R. Built on top of SQLite databases. SQLite provides locking, and makes it possible to detect crashed consumers. Crashed jobs can be automatically marked as "failed", or put in the queue again, potentially a limited number of times.

This package provides in built datasets and three functions. These functions are mobility_index, nonStanTest and linkedLives. The mobility_index function facilitates the calculation of lifecourse fluidity, whilst the nonStanTest and the linkedLives functions allow the user to determine the probability that the observed sequence data was due to chance. The linkedLives function acknowledges the fact that some individuals may have identical sequences. The datasets available provide sequence data on marital status(maritalData) and mobility (mydata) for a selected group of individuals from the British Household Panel Study (BHPS). In addition, personal and house ID's for 100 individuals are provided in a third dataset (myHouseID) from the BHPS.

Supervised learning techniques designed for the situation when the dimensionality exceeds the sample size have a tendency to overfit as the dimensionality of the data increases. To remedy this High dimensionality; low sample size (HDLSS) situation, we attempt to learn a lower-dimensional representation of the data before learning a classifier. That is, we project the data to a situation where the dimensionality is more manageable, and then are able to better apply standard classification or clustering techniques since we will have fewer dimensions to overfit. A number of previous works have focused on how to strategically reduce dimensionality in the unsupervised case, yet in the supervised HDLSS regime, few works have attempted to devise dimensionality reduction techniques that leverage the labels associated with the data. In this package and the associated manuscript Vogelstein et al. (2017) <arXiv:1709.01233>, we provide several methods for feature extraction, some utilizing labels and some not, along with easily extensible utilities to simplify cross-validative efforts to identify the best feature extraction method. Additionally, we include a series of adaptable benchmark simulations to serve as a standard for future investigative efforts into supervised HDLSS. Finally, we produce a comprehensive comparison of the included algorithms across a range of benchmark simulations and real data applications.
