In order to facilitate R instruction for actuaries, we have organized several sets of publicly available data of interest to non-life actuaries. In addition, we suggest a set of packages, which most practicing actuaries will use routinely. Finally, there is an R markdown skeleton for basic reserve analysis.

Here we performs robust hierarchical co-clustering between row and column entities of a data matrix in absence and presence of outlying observations. It can be used to explore important co-clusters consisting of important samples and their regulatory significant features. Please see Hasan, Badsha and Mollah (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.05.13.094946>.

Estimates Pareto-optimal solution for personnel selection with 3 objectives using Normal Boundary Intersection (NBI) algorithm introduced by Das and Dennis (1998) <doi:10.1137/S1052623496307510>. Takes predictor intercorrelations and predictor-objective relations as input and generates a series of solutions containing predictor weights as output. Accepts between 3 and 10 selection predictors. Maximum 2 objectives could be adverse impact objectives. Partially modeled after De Corte (2006) TROFSS Fortran program <https://users.ugent.be/~wdecorte/trofss.pdf> and updated from ParetoR package described in Song et al. (2017) <doi:10.1037/apl0000240>. For details, see Study 3 of Zhang et al. (2023).

Rcmdr Plugin for the FactoMineR package.

Visualize the objects in orbits in 2D and 3D. The packages is under developing to plot the orbits of objects in polar coordinate system. See the examples in demo.

This package provides tools for constructing longitudinal decision paths, quantifying temporal drift, tracking subgroup disparity trajectories, and stress-testing longitudinal conclusions under hidden bias. Implements three signature metrics: the Drift Intensity Index (DII), which measures structural instability in transition dynamics using the Frobenius norm of consecutive transition matrix differences; the Bias Amplification Index (BAI), which quantifies whether group disparities widen or converge over time; and the Temporal Fragility Index (TFI), which estimates the minimum hidden-bias perturbation required to nullify a longitudinal trend conclusion. An interactive shiny application supports exploratory analysis, visualization, and reproducible reporting. Methods are motivated by applications in educational and social science research, including the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS). The DII is based on the Frobenius norm as described in Golub and Van Loan (2013, ISBN:9781421407944). The TFI extends the hidden-bias sensitivity framework of Rosenbaum (2002, ISBN:9781441912633). The BAI draws on disparity-trajectory methods discussed in Duncan and Murnane (2011, ISBN:9780871542731).

This package provides tools for testing differential item functioning (DIF) and differential test functioning (DTF) in two-group item response theory models. The package estimates robust scaling parameters via iteratively reweighted least squares with Tukey's bisquare loss, and supports Wald-type tests of item-level and test-level differences from robust scaling parameters. Inputs can be supplied directly from model parameter/covariance objects or extracted from fitted mirt and lavaan models. Methods are described in Halpin (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2207.04598>.

Generates tile maps for the East Caucasian language family, inspired by the Typological Atlas of the Languages of Daghestan (TALD, <https://lingconlab.ru/tald/>). It leverages ggplot2 to create visually informative maps, displaying rectangles for each language and allowing for color-coding based on linguistic features. The package includes a built-in dataset of 56 languages and the template for their distribution and provides flexibility to customize the tile map's appearance. The default template can be modified via the ability to hide or rename languages. It's designed to be used with external data tables containing language information and features, offering a tool for visualizing the geographic distribution and linguistic characteristics of East Caucasian languages.

Set of functions for Regression Discontinuity Design ('RDD'), for data visualisation, estimation and testing.

Code to facilitate simulation and inference when connectivity is defined by underlying random walks. Methods for spatially-correlated pairwise distance data are especially considered. This provides core code to conduct analyses similar to that in Hanks and Hooten (2013) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.724647>.

The goal of readsdr is to bridge the design capabilities from specialised System Dynamics software with the powerful numerical tools offered by R libraries. The package accomplishes this goal by parsing XMILE files ('Vensim and Stella') models into R objects to construct networks (graph theory); ODE functions for Stan'; and inputs to simulate via deSolve as described in Duggan (2016) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-34043-2>.

Convert digital images to spatially referenced SpatRaster objects, as defined by the terra package, using coordinates from supported spatial input classes. Supported inputs include numeric coordinate vectors and objects from the sf', terra and stars packages. The main function is an S3 generic, allowing other packages to extend support to additional spatial classes.

R access to the Sequential Monte Carlo Template Classes by Johansen <doi:10.18637/jss.v030.i06> is provided. At present, four additional examples have been added, and the first example from the JSS paper has been extended. Further integration and extensions are planned.

Handle JSON-stat format (<https://json-stat.org>) in R. Not all features are supported, especially the extensive metadata features of JSON-stat'.

This package provides a compact R interface for performing tensor calculations. This is achieved by allowing (upper and lower) index labeling of arrays and making use of Ricci calculus conventions to implicitly trigger contractions and diagonal subsetting. Explicit tensor operations, such as addition, subtraction and multiplication of tensors via the standard operators, raising and lowering indices, taking symmetric or antisymmetric tensor parts, as well as the Kronecker product are available. Common tensors like the Kronecker delta, Levi Civita epsilon, certain metric tensors, the Christoffel symbols, the Riemann as well as Ricci tensors are provided. The covariant derivative of tensor fields with respect to any metric tensor can be evaluated. An effort was made to provide the user with useful error messages.

Random-intercept accelerated failure time (AFT) model utilizing Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) for drawing causal inferences about multiple treatments while accounting for the multilevel survival data structure. It also includes an interpretable sensitivity analysis approach to evaluate how the drawn causal conclusions might be altered in response to the potential magnitude of departure from the no unmeasured confounding assumption.This package implements the methods described by Hu et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/sim.9548>.

R implementation of SIDES-based subgroup search algorithms (Lipkovich et al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sim.7064>).

Modern results of psychometric theory are implemented to provide users with a way of evaluating the internal structure of a set of items guided by theory. These methods are discussed in detail in VanderWeele and Padgett (2024) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/rnbk5>. The relative excess correlation matrices will, generally, have numerous negative entries even if all of the raw correlations between each pair of indicators are positive. The positive deviations of the relative excess correlation matrix entries help identify clusters of indicators that are more strongly related to one another, providing insights somewhat analogous to factor analysis, but without the need for rotations or decisions concerning the number of factors. A goal similar to exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis, but recmetrics uses novel methods that do not rely on assumptions of latent variables or latent variable structures.
