This package provides a collection of parametric and nonparametric methods for the analysis of survival data. Parametric families implemented include Gompertz-Makeham, exponential and generalized Pareto models and extended models. The package includes an implementation of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for arbitrary truncation and censoring pattern based on Turnbull (1976) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1976.tb01597.x>, along with graphical goodness-of-fit diagnostics. Parametric models for positive random variables and peaks over threshold models based on extreme value theory are described in Rootzén and Zholud (2017) <doi:10.1007/s10687-017-0305-5>; Belzile et al. (2021) <doi:10.1098/rsos.202097> and Belzile et al. (2022) <doi:10.1146/annurev-statistics-040120-025426>.

This package contains different algorithms and construction methods for optimal Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) with flexible sizes. Our package is comprehensive since it is capable of generating maximin distance LHDs, maximum projection LHDs, and orthogonal and nearly orthogonal LHDs. Detailed comparisons and summary of all the algorithms and construction methods in this package can be found at Hongzhi Wang, Qian Xiao and Abhyuday Mandal (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2010.09154>. This package is particularly useful in the area of Design and Analysis of Experiments (DAE). More specifically, design of computer experiments.

This package implements a local likelihood estimator for the dependence parameter in bivariate conditional copula models. Copula family and local likelihood bandwidth parameters are selected by leave-one-out cross-validation. The models are implemented in TMB', meaning that the local score function is efficiently calculated via automated differentiation (AD), such that quasi-Newton algorithms may be used for parameter estimation.

Performing impulse-response function (IRF) analysis of relevant variables of agent-based simulation models, in particular for models described in LSD format. Based on the data produced by the simulation model, it performs both linear and state-dependent IRF analysis, providing the tools required by the Counterfactual Monte Carlo (CMC) methodology (Amendola and Pereira (2024) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4740360>), including state identification and sensitivity. CMC proposes retrieving the causal effect of shocks by exploiting the opportunity to directly observe the counterfactual in a fully controlled experimental setup. LSD (Laboratory for Simulation Development) is free software available at <https://www.labsimdev.org/>).

This package implements the kK-NN algorithm, an adaptive k-nearest neighbor classifier that adjusts the neighborhood size based on local data curvature. The method estimates local Gaussian curvature by approximating the shape operator of the data manifold. This approach aims to improve classification performance, particularly in datasets with limited samples.

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>.

This package provides a statistical learning method that tries to find the best set of predictors and interactions between predictors for modeling binary or quantitative response data in a decision tree. Several search algorithms and ensembling techniques are implemented allowing for finetuning the method to the specific problem. Interactions with quantitative covariables can be properly taken into account by fitting local regression models. Moreover, a variable importance measure for assessing marginal and interaction effects is provided. Implements the procedures proposed by Lau et al. (2024, <doi:10.1007/s10994-023-06488-6>).

Syntactic shortcuts for creating synthetic lists, vectors, data frames, and matrices using list comprehension.

Data sets on various litter types like beach litter, riverain litter, floating litter, and seafloor litter are rapidly growing. This package offers a simple user interface to analyse these litter data in a consistent and reproducible way. It also provides functions to facilitate several kinds of litter analysis, e.g., trend analysis, power analysis, and baseline analysis. Under the hood, these functions are also used by the user interface. See Schulz et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.envpol.2019.02.030> for details. MS-Windows users are advised to run litteR in RStudio'. See our vignette: Installation manual for RStudio and litteR'.

We provide a solution for performing permutation tests on linear and mixed linear regression models. It allows users to obtain accurate p-values without making distributional assumptions about the data. By generating a null distribution of the test statistics through repeated permutations of the response variable, permutation tests provide a powerful alternative to traditional parameter tests (Holt et al. (2023) <doi:10.1007/s10683-023-09799-6>). In this early version, we focus on the permutation tests over observed t values of beta coefficients, i.e.original t values generated by parameter tests. After generating a null distribution of the test statistic through repeated permutations of the response variable, each observed t values would be compared to the null distribution to generate a p-value. To improve the efficiency,a stop criterion (Anscombe (1953) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1953.tb00121.x>) is adopted to force permutation to stop if the estimated standard deviation of the value falls below a fraction of the estimated p-value. By doing so, we avoid the need for massive calculations in exact permutation methods while still generating stable and accurate p-values.

It uses phenological and productivity-related variables derived from time series of vegetation indexes, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, to assess ecosystem dynamics and change, which eventually might drive to land degradation. The final result of the Land Productivity Dynamics indicator is a categorical map with 5 classes of land productivity dynamics, ranging from declining to increasing productivity. See www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X21010517/ for a description of the methods used in the package to calculate the indicator.

This package provides a lasso-based method for building mechanistic models using the SAMBA algorithm (Stochastic Approximation for Model Building Algorithm) (M Prague, M Lavielle (2022) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12742>). The package extends the Rsmlx package (version 2024.1.0) to better handle high-dimensional data. It relies on the Monolix software (version 2024R1; see (<https://monolixsuite.slp-software.com/monolix/2024R1/>), which must be installed beforehand.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most widely used data analysis techniques. This package provides a series of vignettes explaining PCA starting from basic concepts. The primary purpose is to serve as a self-study resource for anyone wishing to understand PCA better. A few convenience functions are provided as well.

This package provides a suite of tools for estimating, assessing model fit, simulating from, and visualizing location dependent marked point processes characterized by regularity in the pattern. You provide a reference marked point process, a set of raster images containing location specific covariates, and select the estimation algorithm and type of mark model. ldmppr estimates the process and mark models and allows you to check the appropriateness of the model using a variety of diagnostic tools. Once a satisfactory model fit is obtained, you can simulate from the model and visualize the results. Documentation for the package ldmppr is available in the form of a vignette.
