Bayesian model averaging (BMA) algorithms for univariate link latent Gaussian models (ULLGMs). For detailed information, refer to Steel M.F.J. & Zens G. (2024) "Model Uncertainty in Latent Gaussian Models with Univariate Link Function" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.17318>. The package supports various g-priors and a beta-binomial prior on the model space. It also includes auxiliary functions for visualizing and tabulating BMA results. Currently, it offers an out-of-the-box solution for model averaging of Poisson log-normal (PLN) and binomial logistic-normal (BiL) models. The codebase is designed to be easily extendable to other likelihoods, priors, and link functions.

Enables users to handle the dataset cleaning for conducting specific analyses with the log files from two international educational assessments: the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA, <https://www.oecd.org/pisa/>) and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC, <https://www.oecd.org/skills/piaac/>). An illustration of the analyses can be found on the LOGAN Shiny app (<https://loganpackage.shinyapps.io/shiny/>) on your browser.

Learned Pattern Similarity (LPS) for time series, as described in Baydogan and Runger (2016) <doi:10.1007/s10618-015-0425-y>. Implements an approach to model the dependency structure in time series that generalizes the concept of autoregression to local auto-patterns. Generates a pattern-based representation of time series along with a similarity measure called Learned Pattern Similarity (LPS). Introduces a generalized autoregressive kernel. This package adapts C code from the randomForest package by Andy Liaw and Matthew Wiener, itself based on original Fortran code by Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler.

This package implements the multivariate classification methods of Alexander Alexandrovich Lyubishchev (1890-1972), as described in his 1943 manuscript Programma obshchey sistematiki Lyubishchev (1943) <https://www.zin.ru/animalia/coleoptera/rus/lyubis05.htm> and published in Lubischew (1962) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2527894>. Provides divergence_coefficient() for measuring separation between groups on continuous features, scatter_ellipse() for fitting covariance ellipses per class, transgression() for detecting ellipse overlap, and classify() for Bayesian posterior classification. These methods predate and are more general than the binary-character similarity coefficients of Sokal and Sneath (1963) that appear in other R packages.

Implementations of most of the existing proximity-based methods of link prediction in graphs. Among the 20 implemented methods are e.g.: Adamic L. and Adar E. (2003) <doi:10.1016/S0378-8733(03)00009-1>, Leicht E., Holme P., Newman M. (2006) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.73.026120>, Zhou T. and Zhang Y (2009) <doi:10.1140/epjb/e2009-00335-8>, and Fouss F., Pirotte A., Renders J., and Saerens M. (2007) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2007.46>.

Estimates marginal likelihood from a posterior sample using the method described in Wang et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syad007>, which does not require evaluation of any additional points and requires only the log of the unnormalized posterior density for each sampled parameter vector.

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.

This package performs approximate GP regression for large computer experiments and spatial datasets. The approximation is based on finding small local designs for prediction (independently) at particular inputs. OpenMP and SNOW parallelization are supported for prediction over a vast out-of-sample testing set; GPU acceleration is also supported for an important subroutine. OpenMP and GPU features may require special compilation. An interface to lower-level (full) GP inference and prediction is provided. Wrapper routines for blackbox optimization under mixed equality and inequality constraints via an augmented Lagrangian scheme, and for large scale computer model calibration, are also provided. For details and tutorial, see Gramacy (2016 <doi:10.18637/jss.v072.i01>.

Local Polynomial Regression with Ridging.

This package implements novel nonparametric approaches to address biases and confounding when comparing treatments or exposures in observational studies of outcomes. While designed and appropriate for use in studies involving medicine and the life sciences, the package can be used in other situations involving outcomes with multiple confounders. The package implements a family of methods for non-parametric bias correction when comparing treatments in observational studies, including survival analysis settings, where competing risks and/or censoring may be present. The approach extends to bias-corrected personalized predictions of treatment outcome differences, and analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effect-sizes across patient subgroups.

Routines to perform large scale regression. Linear, logistic, and Poisson regressions are supported. Large scale regression efficiently fits models where a small number of covariates are changing and the subjects have complete data. A genome wide association study would be an example.

In the generalized Roy model, the marginal treatment effect (MTE) can be used as a building block for constructing conventional causal parameters such as the average treatment effect (ATE) and the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT). Given a treatment selection equation and an outcome equation, the function mte() estimates the MTE via the semiparametric local instrumental variables method or the normal selection model. The function mte_at() evaluates MTE at different values of the latent resistance u with a given X = x, and the function mte_tilde_at() evaluates MTE projected onto the estimated propensity score. The function ace() estimates population-level average causal effects such as ATE, ATT, or the marginal policy relevant treatment effect.

Fit relationship-based and customized mixed-effects models with complex variance-covariance structures using the lme4 machinery. The core computational algorithms are implemented using the Eigen C++ library for numerical linear algebra and RcppEigen glue'.

Fast binning of multiple variables using parallel processing. A summary of all the variables binned is generated which provides the information value, entropy, an indicator of whether the variable follows a monotonic trend or not, etc. It supports rebinning of variables to force a monotonic trend as well as manual binning based on pre specified cuts. The cut points of the bins are based on conditional inference trees as implemented in the partykit package. The conditional inference framework is described by Hothorn T, Hornik K, Zeileis A (2006) <doi:10.1198/106186006X133933>.

An implementation of a method of extending a logistic regression model beyond linear effects of the co-variates. The extension in is constructed by first equating the logistic regression model to a naive Bayes model where all the margins are specified to follow natural exponential distributions conditional on Y, that is, a model for Y given X that is specified through the distribution of X given Y, where the columns of X are assumed to be mutually independent conditional on Y. Subsequently, the model is expanded by adding vine - copulas to relax the assumption of mutual independence, where pair-copulas are added in a stage-wise, forward selection manner. Some heuristics are employed during the process of selecting edges, as well as the families of pair-copula models. After each component is added, the parameters are updated by a (smaller) number of gradient steps to maximise the likelihood. When the algorithm has stopped adding edges, based the criterion that a new edge should improve the likelihood more than k times the number new parameters, the parameters are updated with a larger number of gradient steps, or until convergence.

This package provides a shiny application to construct age-specific life tables and fertility schedules from individual female daily egg records. The application computes age-specific survival and fertility functions and estimates key demographic parameters including the net reproductive rate, mean generation time, intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase and doubling time. Optional confidence intervals can be obtained using percentile bootstrap or delete-1 jackknife resampling at the female level. Methods and definitions follow Stevens (2009) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-89882-7> and Rossini et al. (2024) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0299598>.
