Mixed, low-rank, and sparse multivariate regression ('mixedLSR') provides tools for performing mixture regression when the coefficient matrix is low-rank and sparse. mixedLSR allows subgroup identification by alternating optimization with simulated annealing to encourage global optimum convergence. This method is data-adaptive, automatically performing parameter selection to identify low-rank substructures in the coefficient matrix.

Identifying comorbidities, frailty, and multimorbidity in claims and administrative data is often a duplicative process. The functions contained in this package are meant to first prepare the data to a format acceptable by all other packages, then provide a uniform and simple approach to generate comorbidity and multimorbidity metrics based on these claims data. The package is ever evolving to include new metrics, and is always looking for new measures to include. The citations used in this package include the following publications: Anne Elixhauser, Claudia Steiner, D. Robert Harris, Rosanna M.

Computation of an estimation of the long-memory parameters and the long-run covariance matrix using a multivariate model (Lobato (1999) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(98)00038-4>; Shimotsu (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2006.01.003>). Two semi-parametric methods are implemented: a Fourier based approach (Shimotsu (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2006.01.003>) and a wavelet based approach (Achard and Gannaz (2016) <doi:10.1111/jtsa.12170>).

Estimation and bootstrap utilities for single layer and multilayer Mixed Graphical Models, including functions for centrality, bridge metrics, membership stability, and plotting (De Martino et al. (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2602.05716>).

Traditional methods typically detect breakpoints from individual signals, which means that when applied separately to multiple signals, the breakpoints are not aligned. However, this package implements a common breakpoint detection approach for multiple piecewise constant signals, resulting in increased detection sensitivity and specificity. By employing various techniques, optimal performance is ensured, and computation is accelerated. We hope that this package will be beneficial for researchers in signal processing, bioinformatics, economy, and other related fields. The segmentation(), lambda_estimator() functions are the main functions of this package.

Estimates the multi-level vector autoregression model on time-series data. Three network structures are obtained: temporal networks, contemporaneous networks and between-subjects networks.

This package provides tools that facilitate ordinary differential equation (ODE) modeling in R'. This package allows one to perform simulations for ODE models that are encoded in the GNU MCSim model specification language (Bois, 2009) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btp162> using ODE solvers from the R package deSolve (Soetaert et al., 2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i09>.

Test for overall association between microbiome composition data and phenotypes via phylogenetic kernels. The phenotype can be univariate continuous or binary (Zhao et al. (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2015.04.003>), survival outcomes (Plantinga et al. (2017) <doi:10.1186/s40168-017-0239-9>), multivariate (Zhan et al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/gepi.22030>) and structured phenotypes (Zhan et al. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12684>). The package can also use robust regression (unpublished work) and integrated quantile regression (Wang et al. (2021) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab668>). In each case, the microbiome community effect is modeled nonparametrically through a kernel function, which can incorporate phylogenetic tree information.

This package provides a hybrid of the K-means algorithm and a Majorization-Minimization method to introduce a robust clustering. The reference paper is: Julien Mairal, (2015) <doi:10.1137/140957639>. The two most important functions in package MajKMeans are cluster_km() and cluster_MajKm(). cluster_km() clusters data without Majorization-Minimization and cluster_MajKm() clusters data with Majorization-Minimization method. Both of these functions calculate the sum of squares (SS) of clustering.

Matching algorithm based on network-flow structure. Users are able to modify the emphasis on three different optimization goals: two different distance measures and the number of treated units left unmatched. The method is proposed by Pimentel and Kelz (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1720693>. The rrelaxiv package, which provides an alternative solver for the underlying network flow problems, carries an academic license and is not available on CRAN, but may be downloaded from Github at <https://github.com/josherrickson/rrelaxiv/>.

Companion package of Carrion-i-Silvestre & Sansó (2023): "Generalized Extreme Value Approximation to the CUMSUMQ Test for Constant Unconditional Variance in Heavy-Tailed Time Series". It implements the Modified Iterative Cumulative Sum of Squares Algorithm, which is an extension of the Iterative Cumulative Sum of Squares (ICSS) Algorithm of Inclan and Tiao (1994), and it checks for changes in the unconditional variance of a time series controlling for the tail index of the underlying distribution. The fourth order moment is estimated non-parametrically to avoid the size problems when the innovations are non-Gaussian (see, Sansó et al., 2004). Critical values and p-values are generated using a Generalized Extreme Value distribution approach.

Gradient boosting is a powerful statistical learning method known for its ability to model complex relationships between predictors and outcomes while performing inherent variable selection. However, traditional gradient boosting methods lack flexibility in handling longitudinal data where within-subject correlations play a critical role. In this package, we propose a novel approach Mixed Effect Gradient Boosting ('MEGB'), designed specifically for high-dimensional longitudinal data. MEGB incorporates a flexible semi-parametric model that embeds random effects within the gradient boosting framework, allowing it to account for within-individual covariance over time. Additionally, the method efficiently handles scenarios where the number of predictors greatly exceeds the number of observations (p>>n) making it particularly suitable for genomics data and other large-scale biomedical studies.

Energy-Vorticity theory (EVT) is the fundamental theory to describe processes in the atmosphere by combining conserved quantities from hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. The package meteoEVT provides functions to calculate many energetic and vortical quantities, like potential vorticity, Bernoulli function and dynamic state index (DSI) [e.g. Weber and Nevir, 2008, <doi:10.1111/j.1600-0870.2007.00272.x>], for given gridded data, like ERA5 reanalyses. These quantities can be studied directly or can be used for many applications in meteorology, e.g., the objective identification of atmospheric fronts. For this purpose, separate function are provided that allow the detection of fronts based on the thermic front parameter [Hewson, 1998, <doi:10.1017/S1350482798000553>], the F diagnostic [Parfitt et al., 2017, <doi:10.1002/2017GL073662>] and the DSI [Mack et al., 2022, <arXiv:2208.11438>].

Sharing statistical methods or simulation frameworks through shiny applications often requires workflows for handling data. To help save and display simulation results, the postgresUI() and postgresServer() functions in mmints help with persistent data storage using a PostgreSQL database. The mmints package also offers data upload functionality through the csvUploadUI() and csvUploadServer() functions which allow users to upload data, view variables and their types, and edit variable types before fitting statistical models within the shiny application. These tools aim to enhance efficiency and user interaction in shiny based statistical and simulation applications.

Performing multiple-class cluster correspondence analysis(MCCCA). The main functions are create.MCCCAdata() to create a list to be applied to MCCCA, MCCCA() to apply MCCCA, and plot.mccca() for visualizing MCCCA result. Methods used in the package refers to Mariko Takagishi and Michel van de Velden (2022)<doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2035737>.

This package provides functions for analyzing the association between one single response categorical variable (SRCV) and one multiple response categorical variable (MRCV), or between two or three MRCVs. A modified Pearson chi-square statistic can be used to test for marginal independence for the one or two MRCV case, or a more general loglinear modeling approach can be used to examine various other structures of association for the two or three MRCV case. Bootstrap- and asymptotic-based standardized residuals and model-predicted odds ratios are available, in addition to other descriptive information. Statisical methods implemented are described in Bilder et al. (2000) <doi:10.1080/03610910008813665>, Bilder and Loughin (2004) <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2004.00147.x>, Bilder and Loughin (2007) <doi:10.1080/03610920600974419>, and Koziol and Bilder (2014) <https://journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-2014-014/>.

This package provides a container for data used by the mapindia package. The data used by mapindia has been extracted into this package so that the file size of the mapindia package can be reduced considerably. The data in this package will be updated when latest data is available.

Meta-analyses can be compromised by studies internal biases (e.g., confounding in nonrandomized studies) as well as by publication bias. This package conducts sensitivity analyses for the joint effects of these biases (per Mathur (2022) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/u7vcb>). These sensitivity analyses address two questions: (1) For a given severity of internal bias across studies and of publication bias, how much could the results change?; and (2) For a given severity of publication bias, how severe would internal bias have to be, hypothetically, to attenuate the results to the null or by a given amount?
