Framework for the Item Response Theory analysis of dichotomous and ordinal polytomous outcomes under the assumption of multidimensionality and discreteness of the latent traits. The fitting algorithms allow for missing responses and for different item parameterizations and are based on the Expectation-Maximization paradigm. Individual covariates affecting the class weights may be included in the new version (since 2.1).

This package provides a latent variable model based on factor analytic and mixture of experts models, designed to infer food intake from multiple biomarkers data. The model is framed within a Bayesian hierarchical framework, which provides flexibility to adapt to different biomarker distributions and facilitates inference on food intake from biomarker data alone, along with the associated uncertainty. Details are in D'Angelo, et al. (2020) <arXiv:2006.02995>.

Fit multi-level models with possibly correlated random effects using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. Such models allow smoothing over space and time and are useful in, for example, small area estimation.

The Markowitz criterion is a multicriteria decision-making method that stands out in risk and uncertainty analysis in contexts where probabilities are known. This approach represents an evolution of Pascal's criterion by incorporating the dimension of variability. In this framework, the expected value reflects the anticipated return, while the standard deviation serves as a measure of risk. The markowitz package provides a practical and accessible tool for implementing this method, enabling researchers and professionals to perform analyses without complex calculations. Thus, the package facilitates the application of the Markowitz criterion. More details on the method can be found in Octave Jokung-Nguéna (2001, ISBN 2100055372).

In many agricultural, engineering, industrial, post-harvest and processing experiments, the number of factor level changes and hence the total number of changes is of serious concern as such experiments may consists of hard-to-change factors where it is physically very difficult to change levels of some factors or sometime such experiments may require normalization time to obtain adequate operating condition. For this reason, run orders that offer the minimum number of factor level changes and at the same time minimize the possible influence of systematic trend effects on the experimentation have been sought. Factorial designs with minimum changes in factors level may be preferred for such situations as these minimally changed run orders will minimize the cost of the experiments. This technique can be employed to any half replicate of two level factorial run order where the number of factors are greater than two. For method details see, Bhowmik, A., Varghese, E., Jaggi, S. and Varghese, C. (2017) <doi:10.1080/03610926.2016.1152490>. This package generates all possible minimally changed two-level half-fractional factorial designs for different experimental setups along with various statistical criteria to measure the performance of these designs through a user-friendly interface. It consist of the function minimal.2halfFFD() which launches the application interface.

Meta-analysis of generalized additive models and generalized additive mixed models. A typical use case is when data cannot be shared across locations, and an overall meta-analytic fit is sought. metagam provides functionality for removing individual participant data from models computed using the mgcv and gamm4 packages such that the model objects can be shared without exposing individual data. Furthermore, methods for meta-analysing these fits are provided. The implemented methods are described in Sorensen et al. (2020), <doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2020.117416>, extending previous works by Schwartz and Zanobetti (2000) and Crippa et al. (2018) <doi:10.6000/1929-6029.2018.07.02.1>.

This package provides a generalised workflow for Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison (MAIC) analysis, which supports both anchored and non-anchored MAIC methods. In MAIC, unbiased trial outcome comparison is achieved by weighting the subject-level outcomes of the intervention trial so that the weighted aggregate measures of prognostic or effect-modifying variables match those of the comparator trial. Measurements supported include time-to-event (e.g., overall survival) and binary (e.g., objective tumor response). The method is described in Signorovitch et al. (2010) <doi:10.2165/11538370-000000000-00000> and Signorovitch et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.05.004>.

Three estimating equation methods are provided in this package for marginal analysis of longitudinal ordinal data with misclassified responses and covariates. The naive analysis which is solely based on the observed data without adjustment may lead to bias. The corrected generalized estimating equations (GEE2) method which is unbiased requires the misclassification parameters to be known beforehand. The corrected generalized estimating equations (GEE2) with validation subsample method estimates the misclassification parameters based on a given validation set. This package is an implementation of Chen (2013) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201200195>.
