Focus-glue-context (FGC) fisheye transformations to two-dimensional coordinates and spatial vector geometries. Implements a smooth radial distortion that enlarges a focal region, transitions through a glue ring, and preserves outside context. Methods build on generalized fisheye views and focus+context mapping. For more details see Furnas (1986) <doi:10.1145/22339.22342>, Furnas (2006) <doi:10.1145/1124772.1124921> and Yamamoto et al. (2009) <doi:10.1145/1653771.1653788>.

Extends the mlr3 ecosystem to functional analysis by adding support for irregular and regular functional data as defined in the tf package. The package provides PipeOps for preprocessing functional columns and for extracting scalar features, thereby allowing standard machine learning algorithms to be applied afterwards. Available operations include simple functional features such as the mean or maximum, smoothing, interpolation, flattening, and functional PCA'.

High-performance implementation of the Modified Hodrick-Prescott (HP) Filter for decomposing macroeconomic time series into trend and cyclical components. Based on the methodology of Choudhary, Hanif and Iqbal (2014) <doi:10.1080/00036846.2014.894631> "On smoothing macroeconomic time series using the modified HP filter", which uses generalized cross-validation (GCV) to automatically select the optimal smoothing parameter lambda, following McDermott (1997) "An automatic method for choosing the smoothing parameter in the HP filter" (as described in Coe and McDermott (1997) <doi:10.2307/3867497>). Unlike the standard HP filter that uses fixed lambda values (1600 for quarterly, 100 for annual data), this package estimates series-specific lambda values that minimize the GCV criterion. Implements efficient C++ routines via RcppArmadillo for fast computation, supports batch processing of multiple series, and provides comprehensive visualization tools using ggplot2'. Particularly useful for cross-country macroeconomic comparisons, business cycle analysis, and when the appropriate smoothing parameter is uncertain.

Estimation and inference for multiple kink quantile regression for longitudinal data and the i.i.d data. A bootstrap restarting iterative segmented quantile algorithm is proposed to estimate the multiple kink quantile regression model conditional on a given number of change points. The number of kinks is also allowed to be unknown. In such case, the backward elimination algorithm and the bootstrap restarting iterative segmented quantile algorithm are combined to select the number of change points based on a quantile BIC. For longitudinal data, we also develop the GEE estimator to incorporate the within-subject correlations. A score-type based test statistic is also developed for testing the existence of kink effect. The package is based on the paper, ``Wei Zhong, Chuang Wan and Wenyang Zhang (2022). Estimation and inference for multikink quantile regression, JBES and ``Chuang Wan, Wei Zhong, Wenyang Zhang and Changliang Zou (2022). Multi-kink quantile regression for longitudinal data with application to progesterone data analysis, Biometrics".

The midasml package implements estimation and prediction methods for high-dimensional mixed-frequency (MIDAS) time-series and panel data regression models. The regularized MIDAS models are estimated using orthogonal (e.g. Legendre) polynomials and sparse-group LASSO (sg-LASSO) estimator. For more information on the midasml approach see Babii, Ghysels, and Striaukas (2021, JBES forthcoming) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2021.1899933>. The package is equipped with the fast implementation of the sg-LASSO estimator by means of proximal block coordinate descent. High-dimensional mixed frequency time-series data can also be easily manipulated with functions provided in the package.

Compute the coefficient of determination for outcomes in n-dimensions. May be useful for multidimensional predictions (such as a multinomial model) or calculating goodness of fit from latent variable models such as probabilistic topic models like latent Dirichlet allocation or deterministic topic models like latent semantic analysis. Based on Jones (2019) <arXiv:1911.11061>.

Funding for this package was supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) grants DBI-1262545 and DEB-1451031. CITE: Lajeunesse, M.J. (2016) Facilitating systematic reviews, data extraction and meta-analysis with the metagear package for R. Methods in Ecology and Evolution 7, 323-330 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12472>.

Simulation results detailed in Esarey and Menger (2019) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2017.42> demonstrate that cluster adjusted t statistics (CATs) are an effective method for correcting standard errors in scenarios with a small number of clusters. The mmiCATs package offers a suite of tools for working with CATs. The mmiCATs() function initiates a shiny web application, facilitating the analysis of data utilizing CATs, as implemented in the cluster.im.glm() function from the clusterSEs package. Additionally, the pwr_func_lmer() function is designed to simplify the process of conducting simulations to compare mixed effects models with CATs models. For educational purposes, the CloseCATs() function launches a shiny application card game, aimed at enhancing users understanding of the conditions under which CATs should be preferred over random intercept models.

This package provides functions to impute missing values using Gaussian copulas for mixed data types as described by Christoffersen et al. (2021) <arXiv:2102.02642>. The method is related to Hoff (2007) <doi:10.1214/07-AOAS107> and Zhao and Udell (2019) <arXiv:1910.12845> but differs by making a direct approximation of the log marginal likelihood using an extended version of the Fortran code created by Genz and Bretz (2002) <doi:10.1198/106186002394> in addition to also support multinomial variables.
