Supervised classification methods, which (if asked) can provide step-by-step explanations of the algorithms used, as described in PK Josephine et. al., (2021) <doi:10.59176/kjcs.v1i1.1259>; and datasets to test them on, which highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each technique.

Implementation of the Swiss Confederation's standard analysis model for salary analyses <www.ebg.admin.ch/en/equal-pay-analysis-with-logib> in R. The analysis is run at company-level and the model is intended for medium-sized and large companies. It can technically be used with 50 or more employees (apprentices, trainees/interns and expats are not included in the analysis). Employees with at least 100 employees are required by the Gender Equality Act to conduct an equal pay analysis. This package allows users to run the equal salary analysis in R, providing additional transparency with respect to the methodology and simple automation possibilities.

Linear model functions using permutation tests.

An updated implementation of R package ranger by Wright et al, (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v077.i01> for training and predicting from random forests, particularly suited to high-dimensional data, and for embedding in Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE) by van Buuren (2007) <doi:10.1177/0962280206074463>. Ensembles of classification and regression trees are currently supported. Sparse data of class dgCMatrix (R package Matrix') can be directly analyzed. Conventional bagged predictions are available alongside an efficient prediction for MICE via the algorithm proposed by Doove et al (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2013.10.025>. Trained forests can be written to and read from storage. Survival and probability forests are not supported in the update, nor is data of class gwaa.data (R package GenABEL'); use the original ranger package for these analyses.

Computation of linkage disequilibrium of ancestry (LDA) and linkage disequilibrium of ancestry score (LDAS). LDA calculates the pairwise linkage disequilibrium of ancestry between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). LDAS calculates the LDA score of SNPs. The methods are described in Barrie W, Yang Y, Irving-Pease E.K, et al (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41586-023-06618-z>.

Efficient procedures for fitting the regularization path for linear, binomial, multinomial, Ising and Potts models with lasso, group lasso or column lasso(only for multinomial) penalty. The package uses Linearized Bregman Algorithm to solve the regularization path through iterations. Bregman Inverse Scale Space Differential Inclusion solver is also provided for linear model with lasso penalty.

This package provides a collection of functions that calculate the log likelihood (support) for a range of statistical tests. Where possible the likelihood function and likelihood interval for the observed data are displayed. The evidential approach used here is based on the book "Likelihood" by A.W.F. Edwards (1992, ISBN-13 : 978-0801844430), "Statistical Evidence" by R. Royall (1997, ISBN-13 : 978-0412044113), S.N. Goodman & R. Royall (2011) <doi:10.2105/AJPH.78.12.1568>, "Understanding Psychology as a Science" by Z. Dienes (2008, ISBN-13 : 978-0230542310), S. Glover & P. Dixon <doi:10.3758/BF03196706> and others. This package accompanies "Evidence-Based Statistics" by P. Cahusac (2020, ISBN-13 : 978-1119549802) <doi:10.1002/9781119549833>.

The least-squares Monte Carlo (LSM) simulation method is a popular method for the approximation of the value of early and multiple exercise options. LSMRealOptions provides implementations of the LSM simulation method to value American option products and capital investment projects through real options analysis. LSMRealOptions values capital investment projects with cash flows dependent upon underlying state variables that are stochastically evolving, providing analysis into the timing and critical values at which investment is optimal. LSMRealOptions provides flexibility in the stochastic processes followed by underlying assets, the number of state variables, basis functions and underlying asset characteristics to allow a broad range of assets to be valued through the LSM simulation method. Real options projects are further able to be valued whilst considering construction periods, time-varying initial capital expenditures and path-dependent operational flexibility including the ability to temporarily shutdown or permanently abandon projects after initial investment has occurred. The LSM simulation method was first presented in the prolific work of Longstaff and Schwartz (2001) <doi:10.1093/rfs/14.1.113>.

This package provides fast and scalable Gibbs sampling algorithms for Bayesian Lasso regression model in high-dimensional settings.

Diagnostics and visualization tools for latent variable models fitted with lavaan (Rosseel, 2012 <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>). The package provides fast, parallel-safe factor-score prediction (lavPredict_parallel()), data augmentation with model predictions, residuals, delta-method standard errors and confidence intervals (augment()), and model-based latent grids for continuous, ordinal, or mixed indicators (prepare()). It offers item-level empirical versus model curve comparison using generalized additive models for both continuous and ordinal indicators (item_data(), item_plot()) via mgcv (Wood, 2017, ISBN:9781498728331), residual diagnostics including residual correlation tables and plots (resid_cor(), resid_corrplot()) using corrplot (Wei and Simko, 2021 <https://github.com/taiyun/corrplot>), and Qâ Q checks of residual z-statistics (resid_qq()), optionally with non-overlapping labels from ggrepel (Slowikowski, 2024 <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggrepel>). Heavy computations are parallelized via future'/'furrr (Bengtsson, 2021 <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>; Vaughan and Dancho, 2018 <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=furrr>).

Fit response surfaces for datasets with latent-variable Gaussian process modeling, predict responses for new inputs, and plot latent variables locations in the latent space (only 1D or 2D). The input variables of the datasets can be quantitative, qualitative/categorical or mixed. The output variable of the datasets is a scalar (quantitative). The optimization of the likelihood function is done using a successive approximation/relaxation algorithm similar to another GP modeling package "GPM". The modeling method is published in "A Latent Variable Approach to Gaussian Process Modeling with Qualitative and Quantitative Factors" by Yichi Zhang, Siyu Tao, Wei Chen, and Daniel W. Apley (2018) <arXiv:1806.07504>. The package is developed in IDEAL of Northwestern University.

Bootstrap routines for nested linear mixed effects models fit using either lme4 or nlme'. The provided bootstrap() function implements the parametric, residual, cases, random effect block (REB), and wild bootstrap procedures. An overview of these procedures can be found in Van der Leeden et al. (2008) <doi: 10.1007/978-0-387-73186-5_11>, Carpenter, Goldstein & Rasbash (2003) <doi: 10.1111/1467-9876.00415>, and Chambers & Chandra (2013) <doi: 10.1080/10618600.2012.681216>.

Constructs genotype x environment interaction (GxE) models where G is a weighted sum of genetic variants (genetic score) and E is a weighted sum of environments (environmental score) using the alternating optimization algorithm by Jolicoeur-Martineau et al. (2017) <arXiv:1703.08111>. This approach has greatly enhanced predictive power over traditional GxE models which include only a single genetic variant and a single environmental exposure. Although this approach was originally made for GxE modelling, it is flexible and does not require the use of genetic and environmental variables. It can also handle more than 2 latent variables (rather than just G and E) and 3-way interactions or more. The LEGIT model produces highly interpretable results and is very parameter-efficient thus it can even be used with small sample sizes (n < 250). Tools to determine the type of interaction (vantage sensitivity, diathesis-stress or differential susceptibility), with any number of genetic variants or environments, are available <arXiv:1712.04058>. The software can now produce mixed-effects LEGIT models through the lme4 package.

Also provides the libdeflate static library and C headers along with a CMake target and packageâ config file that ease linking of libdeflate in packages that compile and statically link bundled libraries using CMake'.

Various opportunities to evaluate the effects of including one or more control variable(s) in structural equation models onto model-implied variances, covariances, and parameter estimates. The derivation of the methodology employed in this package can be obtained from Blötner (2023) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/dy79z>.

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.

Estimation of a multi-group count regression models (i.e., Poisson, negative binomial) with latent covariates. This packages provides two extensions compared to ordinary count regression models based on a generalized linear model: First, measurement models for the predictors can be specified allowing to account for measurement error. Second, the count regression can be simultaneously estimated in multiple groups with stochastic group weights. The marginal maximum likelihood estimation is described in Kiefer & Mayer (2020) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2020.1751027>.
