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>.

Estimating causal parameters in the presence of treatment spillover is of great interest in statistics. This package provides tools for instrumental variables estimation of average causal effects under network interference of unknown form. The target parameters are the local average direct effect, the local average indirect effect, the local average overall effect, and the local average spillover effect. The methods are developed by Hoshino and Yanagi (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2108.07455>.

This package provides tools to help storing and handling case line list data. The linelist class adds a tagging system to classical data.frame objects to identify key epidemiological data such as dates of symptom onset, epidemiological case definition, age, gender or disease outcome. Once tagged, these variables can be seamlessly used in downstream analyses, making data pipelines more robust and reliable.

Implementation of the three-step approach of (latent transition) cognitive diagnosis model (CDM) with covariates. This approach can be used for single time-point situations (cross-sectional data) and multiple time-point situations (longitudinal data) to investigate how the covariates are associated with attribute mastery. For multiple time-point situations, the three-step approach of latent transition CDM with covariates allows researchers to assess changes in attribute mastery status and to evaluate the covariate effects on both the initial states and transition probabilities over time using latent logistic regression. Because stepwise approaches often yield biased estimates, correction for classification error probabilities (CEPs) is considered in this approach. The three-step approach for latent transition CDM with covariates involves the following steps: (1) fitting a CDM to the response data without covariates at each time point separately, (2) assigning examinees to latent states at each time point and computing the associated CEPs, and (3) estimating the latent transition CDM with the known CEPs and computing the regression coefficients. The method was proposed in Liang et al. (2023) <doi:10.3102/10769986231163320> and demonstrated using mental health data in Liang et al. (in press; annotated R code and data utilized in this example are available in Mendeley data) <doi:10.17632/kpjp3gnwbt.1>.

Generate a local library copy with relevant packages. All packages currently found within the search path - except base packages - will be copied to the directory provided and can be used later on with the .libPaths() function.

This package provides tools are provided to expand vectors of short URLs into long URLs'. No API services are used, which may mean that this operates more slowly than API services do (since they usually cache results of expansions that every user of the service requests). You can setup your own caching layer with the memoise package if you wish to have a speedup during single sessions or add larger dependencies, such as Redis', to gain a longer-term performance boost at the expense of added complexity.

For fitting Bayesian joint latent class and regression models using Gibbs sampling. See the documentation for the model. The technical details of the model implemented here are described in Elliott, Michael R., Zhao, Zhangchen, Mukherjee, Bhramar, Kanaya, Alka, Needham, Belinda L., "Methods to account for uncertainty in latent class assignments when using latent classes as predictors in regression models, with application to acculturation strategy measures" (2020) In press at Epidemiology <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001139>.

Local explanations of machine learning models describe, how features contributed to a single prediction. This package implements an explanation method based on LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations, see Tulio Ribeiro, Singh, Guestrin (2016) <doi:10.1145/2939672.2939778>) in which interpretable inputs are created based on local rather than global behaviour of each original feature.

Implementation of the drift-diffusion mixed model for category learning as described in Paulon et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1801448>.

Labels are a common construct in statistical software providing a human readable description of a variable. While variable names are succinct, quick to type, and follow a language's naming conventions, labels may be more illustrative and may use plain text and spaces. R does not provide native support for labels. Some packages, however, have made this feature available. Most notably, the Hmisc package provides labelling methods for a number of different object. Due to design decisions, these methods are not all exported, and so are unavailable for use in package development. The labelVector package supports labels for atomic vectors in a light-weight design that is suitable for use in other packages.

Computes the implied weights of linear regression models for estimating average causal effects and provides diagnostics based on these weights. These diagnostics rely on the analyses in Chattopadhyay and Zubizarreta (2023) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asac058> where several regression estimators are represented as weighting estimators, in connection to inverse probability weighting. lmw provides tools to diagnose representativeness, balance, extrapolation, and influence for these models, clarifying the target population of inference. Tools are also available to simplify estimating treatment effects for specific target populations of interest.

An HTML widget that randomly tours 2D projections of numerical data. A random walk through projections of the data is shown. The user can manipulate the plot to use specified axes, or turn on Guided Tour mode to find an informative projection of the data. Groups within the data can be hidden or shown, as can particular axes. Points can be brushed, and the selection can be linked to other widgets using crosstalk. The underlying method to produce the random walk and projection pursuit uses Langevin dynamics. The widget can be used from within R, or included in a self-contained R Markdown or Quarto document or presentation, or used in a Shiny app.

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.

This is for code management functions, NLP tools, a Monty Hall simulator, and for implementing my own variable reduction technique called Feed Reduction. The Feed Reduction technique is not yet published, but is merely a tool for implementing a series of binary neural networks meant for reducing data into N dimensions, where N is the number of possible values of the response variable.

This package provides functions for the longitudinal genetic random field method (He et al., 2015, <doi:10.1111/biom.12310>) to test the association between a longitudinally measured quantitative outcome and a set of genetic variants in a gene/region.

Determine a Prototype from a number of runs of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) measuring its similarities with S-CLOP: A procedure to select the LDA run with highest mean pairwise similarity, which is measured by S-CLOP (Similarity of multiple sets by Clustering with Local Pruning), to all other runs. LDA runs are specified by its assignments leading to estimators for distribution parameters. Repeated runs lead to different results, which we encounter by choosing the most representative LDA run as prototype.
