Constructs shrinkage estimators of high-dimensional mean-variance portfolios and performs high-dimensional tests on optimality of a given portfolio. The techniques developed in Bodnar et al. (2018 <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2017.09.028>, 2019 <doi:10.1109/TSP.2019.2929964>, 2020 <doi:10.1109/TSP.2020.3037369>, 2021 <doi:10.1080/07350015.2021.2004897>) are central to the package. They provide simple and feasible estimators and tests for optimal portfolio weights, which are applicable for large p and large n situations where p is the portfolio dimension (number of stocks) and n is the sample size. The package also includes tools for constructing portfolios based on shrinkage estimators of the mean vector and covariance matrix as well as a new Bayesian estimator for the Markowitz efficient frontier recently developed by Bauder et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/14697688.2020.1748214>.

Fast, model-agnostic implementation of different H-statistics introduced by Jerome H. Friedman and Bogdan E. Popescu (2008) <doi:10.1214/07-AOAS148>. These statistics quantify interaction strength per feature, feature pair, and feature triple. The package supports multi-output predictions and can account for case weights. In addition, several variants of the original statistics are provided. The shape of the interactions can be explored through partial dependence plots or individual conditional expectation plots. DALEX explainers, meta learners ('mlr3', tidymodels', caret') and most other models work out-of-the-box.

Reliability Analysis and Maintenance Optimization using Hidden Markov Models (HMM). The use of HMMs to model the state of a system which is not directly observable and instead certain indicators (signals) of the true situation are provided via a control system. A hidden model can provide key information about the system dependability, such as the reliability of the system and related measures. An estimation procedure is implemented based on the Baum-Welch algorithm. Classical structures such as K-out-of-N systems and Shock models are illustrated. Finally, the maintenance of the system is considered in the HMM context and two functions for new preventive maintenance strategies are considered. Maintenance efficiency is measured in terms of expected cost. Methods are described in Gamiz, Limnios, and Segovia-Garcia (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2022.05.006>.

Objective: Implement new methods for detecting change points in high-dimensional time series data. These new methods can be applied to non-Gaussian data, account for spatial and temporal dependence, and detect a wide variety of change-point configurations, including changes near the boundary and changes in close proximity. Additionally, this package helps address the â small n, large pâ problem, which occurs in many research contexts. This problem arises when a dataset contains changes that are visually evident but do not rise to the level of statistical significance due to the small number of observations and large number of parameters. The problem is overcome by treating the dimensions as a whole and scaling the test statistics only by its standard deviation, rather than scaling each dimension individually. Due to the computational complexity of the functions, the package runs best on datasets with a relatively large number of attributes but no more than a few hundred observations.

Tests for two high-dimensional population mean vectors. The user has the option to compute the asymptotic, the permutation or the bootstrap based p-value of the test.

Linear and logistic regression models penalized with hierarchical shrinkage priors for selection of biomarkers (or more general variable selection), which can be fitted using Stan (Carpenter et al. (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i01>). It implements the horseshoe and regularized horseshoe priors (Piironen and Vehtari (2017) <doi:10.1214/17-EJS1337SI>), as well as the projection predictive selection approach to recover a sparse set of predictive biomarkers (Piironen, Paasiniemi and Vehtari (2020) <doi:10.1214/20-EJS1711>).

We use the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for parameter estimation in high-dimensional, single-modality mediation models. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of estimated mediation effects, we offer the sure independence screening (SIS) function for dimension reduction. The available penalty options include Lasso, Elastic Net, Pathway Lasso, and Network-constrained Penalty. The methods employed in the package are based on Boyd, S., Parikh, N., Chu, E., Peleato, B., & Eckstein, J. (2011). <doi:10.1561/2200000016>, Fan, J., & Lv, J.

Facilitates automated HTML report creation, in particular framed HTML pages and dynamically sortable tables.

Base R's default setting for stringsAsFactors within data.frame() and as.data.frame() is supposedly the most often complained about piece of code in the R infrastructure. The hellno package provides an explicit solution without changing R itself or having to mess around with options. It tries to solve this problem by providing alternative data.frame() and as.data.frame() functions that are in fact simple wrappers around base R's data.frame() and as.data.frame() with stringsAsFactors option set to HELLNO ( which in turn equals FALSE ) by default.

Implementation of S4 class of sets and multisets of numbers. The implementation is based on the hash table from the package hash'. Quick operations are allowed when the set is a dynamic object. The implementation is discussed in detail in Ceoldo and Wit (2023) <arXiv:2304.09809>.

This package provides a unified API for creating data visualizations across dynamic and static rendering modes. Visualizations are defined once using a specification object and can be rendered with highcharter', ggplot2', or other supported packages without modifying user code. The package supports declarative and layered workflows, reusable themes and colour palettes, optional JavaScript enhancements, export tools, and interactive exploration through shiny applications.

This code provides a method to fit the hidden compact representation model as well as to identify the causal direction on discrete data. We implement an effective solution to recover the above hidden compact representation under the likelihood framework. Please see the Causal Discovery from Discrete Data using Hidden Compact Representation from NIPS 2018 by Ruichu Cai, Jie Qiao, Kun Zhang, Zhenjie Zhang and Zhifeng Hao (2018) <https://nips.cc/Conferences/2018/Schedule?showEvent=11274> for a description of some of our methods.

Calculates heat-stress indices from meteorological observations, including the physically based wet-bulb globe temperature model described by Liljegren et al. (2008) <doi:10.1080/15459620802310770>. The package provides an independently maintained R implementation with row-level diagnostics, configurable physical controls, and batch processing for the Liljegren method; it is not a bitwise-compatible port of the original program, and cross-implementation differences are expected.

Published meta-analyses routinely present one of the measures of heterogeneity introduced in Higgins and Thompson (2002) <doi:10.1002/sim.1186>. For critiquing articles it is often better to convert to another of those measures. Some conversions are provided here and confidence intervals are also available.

Our current package first started as a fork of the causalTree package on GitHub and we greatly appreciate the authors for their extremely useful and free package.

HIGHT(HIGh security and light weigHT) algorithm is a block cipher encryption algorithm developed to provide confidentiality in computing environments that demand low power consumption and lightweight, such as RFID(Radio-Frequency Identification) and USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network), or in mobile environments that require low power consumption and lightweight, such as smartphones and smart cards. Additionally, it is designed with a simple structure that enables it to be used with basic arithmetic operations, XOR, and circular shifts in 8-bit units. This algorithm was designed to consider both safety and efficiency in a very simple structure suitable for limited environments, compared to the former 128-bit encryption algorithm SEED. In December 2010, it became an ISO(International Organization for Standardization) standard. The detailed procedure is described in Hong et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/11894063_4>.
