This package performs Gaussian process regression with heteroskedastic noise following the model by Binois, M., Gramacy, R., Ludkovski, M. (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1611.05902>, with implementation details in Binois, M. & Gramacy, R. B. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i13>. The input dependent noise is modeled as another Gaussian process. Replicated observations are encouraged as they yield computational savings. Sequential design procedures based on the integrated mean square prediction error and lookahead heuristics are provided, and notably fast update functions when adding new observations.

Using the MDL principle, it is possible to estimate parameters for a histogram-like model. The package contains the implementation of such an estimation method.

Given one or multiple paths to files produced by a PULSE multi-channel or a PULSE one-channel system (<https://electricblue.eu/pulse>) from a single experiment: [1] check pulse files for inconsistencies and read/merge all data, [2] split across time windows, [3] interpolate and smooth to optimize the dataset, [4] compute the heart rate frequency for each channel/window, and [5] facilitate quality control, summarising and plotting. Heart rate frequency is calculated using the Automatic Multi-scale Peak Detection algorithm proposed by Felix Scholkmann and team. For more details see Scholkmann et al (2012) <doi:10.3390/a5040588>.

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>.

This package implements an efficient algorithm for fitting the entire regularization path of support vector machine models with elastic-net penalties using a generalized coordinate descent scheme.

This package provides a function to assess and test for heterogeneity in the utility of a surrogate marker with respect to a baseline covariate. The main function can be used for either a continuous or discrete baseline covariate. More details will be available in the future in: Parast, L., Cai, T., Tian L (2021).

This package implements assessment of benefit-risk balance using Bayesian Discrete Choice Experiment. For more details see the article by Mukhopadhyay et al. (2019) <DOI:10.1080/19466315.2018.1527248>.

This package contains functions for hidden Markov models with observations having extra zeros as defined in the following two publications, Wang, T., Zhuang, J., Obara, K. and Tsuruoka, H. (2016) <doi:10.1111/rssc.12194>; Wang, T., Zhuang, J., Buckby, J., Obara, K. and Tsuruoka, H. (2018) <doi:10.1029/2017JB015360>. The observed response variable is either univariate or bivariate Gaussian conditioning on presence of events, and extra zeros mean that the response variable takes on the value zero if nothing is happening. Hence the response is modelled as a mixture distribution of a Bernoulli variable and a continuous variable. That is, if the Bernoulli variable takes on the value 1, then the response variable is Gaussian, and if the Bernoulli variable takes on the value 0, then the response is zero too. This package includes functions for simulation, parameter estimation, goodness-of-fit, the Viterbi algorithm, and plotting the classified 2-D data. Some of the functions in the package are based on those of the R package HiddenMarkov by David Harte. This updated version has included an example dataset and R code examples to show how to transform the data into the objects needed in the main functions. We have also made changes to increase the speed of some of the functions.

This package provides functions to conduct robust inference in difference-in-differences and event study designs by implementing the methods developed in Rambachan & Roth (2023) <doi:10.1093/restud/rdad018>, "A More Credible Approach to Parallel Trends" [Previously titled "An Honest Approach..."]. Inference is conducted under a weaker version of the parallel trends assumption. Uniformly valid confidence sets are constructed based upon conditional confidence sets, fixed-length confidence sets and hybridized confidence sets.

This package provides tools for the estimation of Heckman selection models with robust variance-covariance matrices. It includes functions for computing the bread and meat matrices, as well as clustered standard errors for generalized Heckman models, see Fernando de Souza Bastos and Wagner Barreto-Souza and Marc G.

Historical borrowing in clinical trials can improve precision and operating characteristics. This package supports a hierarchical model and a mixture model to borrow historical control data from other studies to better characterize the control response of the current study. It also quantifies the amount of borrowing through benchmark models (independent and pooled). Some of the methods are discussed by Viele et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/pst.1589>.

Factor models have been widely applied in areas such as economics and finance, and the well-known heavy-tailedness of macroeconomic/financial data should be taken into account when conducting factor analysis. We propose two algorithms to do robust factor analysis by considering the Huber loss. One is based on minimizing the Huber loss of the idiosyncratic error's L2 norm, which turns out to do Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the weighted sample covariance matrix and thereby named as Huber PCA. The other one is based on minimizing the element-wise Huber loss, which can be solved by an iterative Huber regression algorithm. In this package we also provide the code for traditional PCA, the Robust Two Step (RTS) method by He et al. (2022) and the Quantile Factor Analysis (QFA) method by Chen et al. (2021) and He et al. (2023).
