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.

This package provides efficient tools for calculating Stirling numbers of the second kind and their logarithms. Includes an exact arbitrary-precision implementation using gmp that avoids numerical cancellation, a fast C++ backend with internal caching for log-scale calculations, and Temme's asymptotic approximation for very large inputs.

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.

The Bayesian estimation of mixture models (and more general hidden Markov models) suffers from the label switching phenomenon, making the MCMC output non-identifiable. This package can be used in order to deal with this problem using various relabelling algorithms.

This package provides functions to estimate the intensity function and its derivative of a given order of a multiplicative counting process using the local polynomial method.

Implement tour algorithms in interactive graphical system loon'.

Set of the data science tools created by various members of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) community. These functions were initially written largely as standalone operations and have later been aggregated into this package.

This package implements Lagrangian multiplier smoothing splines for flexible nonparametric regression and function estimation. Provides tools for fitting, prediction, and inference using a constrained optimization approach to enforce smoothness. Supports generalized linear models, Weibull accelerated failure time (AFT) models, Cox proportional hazards models, quadratic programming constraints, and customizable working-correlation structures, with options for parallel fitting. The core spline construction builds on Ezhov et al. (2018) <doi:10.1515/jag-2017-0029>. Quadratic-programming and SQP details follow Goldfarb & Idnani (1983) <doi:10.1007/BF02591962> and Nocedal & Wright (2006) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-40065-5>. For smoothing spline and penalized spline background, see Wahba (1990) <doi:10.1137/1.9781611970128> and Wood (2017) <doi:10.1201/9781315370279>. For variance-component and correlation-parameter estimation, see Searle et al. (2006) <ISBN:978-0470009598>. The default multivariate partitioning step uses k-means clustering as in MacQueen (1967).

Suite of R functions for the estimation of the local false discovery rate (LFDR) using Type II maximum likelihood estimation (MLE).

This package implements the Leunbach test equating method, following the DIGRAM software written by Svend Kreiner. Both direct and indirect equating are available, with parametric bootstrap standard errors and diagnostic statistics including the Goodman-Kruskal gamma test and orbit analysis for person fit. See Adroher et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12874-019-0768-y> for details of the method.

This package contains LUE_BIOMASS(),LUE_BIOMASS_VPD(), LUE_YIELD() and LUE_YIELD_VPD() to estimate aboveground biomass and crop yield firstly by calculating the Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (APAR) and secondly the actual values of light use efficiency with and without vapour presure deficit Shi et al.(2007) <doi:10.2134/agronj2006.0260>.

An emulator designed for rapid sequential emulation (e.g., Markov chain Monte Carlo applications). Works via extension of the laGP approach by Gramacy and Apley (2015 <doi:10.1080/10618600.2014.914442>). Details are given in Rumsey et al. (2023 <doi:10.1002/sta4.576>).

This package provides a collection of helper functions and illustrative datasets to support learning and teaching of data science with R. The package is designed as a companion to the book <https://book-data-science-r.netlify.app>, making key data science techniques accessible to individuals with minimal coding experience. Functions include tools for data partitioning, performance evaluation, and data transformations (e.g., z-score and min-max scaling). The included datasets are curated to highlight practical applications in data exploration, modeling, and multivariate analysis. An early inspiration for the package came from an ancient Persian idiom about "eating the liver", symbolizing deep and immersive engagement with knowledge.

This package provides functions for the implementation of a density goodness-of-fit test, based on piecewise approximation of the L2 distance.

European Commission's Labour Market Policy (LMP) database (<https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/empl/redisstat/databrowser/explore/all/lmp?lang=en&display=card&sort=category>) provides information on labour market interventions, which are government actions to help and support the unemployed and other disadvantaged groups in the transition from unemployment or inactivity to work. It covers the EU countries and Norway. This package provides functions for downloading and importing the LMP data and metadata (codelists).

Helper functions to implement univariate and bivariate latent change score models in R using the lavaan package. For details about Latent Change Score Modeling (LCSM) see McArdle (2009) <doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.60.110707.163612> and Grimm, An, McArdle, Zonderman and Resnick (2012) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2012.659627>. The package automatically generates lavaan syntax for different model specifications and varying timepoints. The lavaan syntax generated by this package can be returned and further specifications can be added manually. Longitudinal plots as well as simplified path diagrams can be created to visualise data and model specifications. Estimated model parameters and fit statistics can be extracted as data frames. Data for different univariate and bivariate LCSM can be simulated by specifying estimates for model parameters to explore their effects. This package combines the strengths of other R packages like lavaan', broom', and semPlot by generating lavaan syntax that helps these packages work together.

Classification method obtained through linear programming. It is advantageous with respect to the classical developments when the distribution of the variables involved is unknown or when the number of variables is much greater than the number of individuals. Mathematical details behind the method are published in Nueda, et al. (2022) "LPDA: A new classification method based on linear programming". <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0270403>.
