Implementation of marginalized models for zero-inflated count data. The package provides tools to estimate marginalized count regression models for direct inference on the effect of covariates on the marginal mean of the outcome. The methods include the marginalized zero-inflated Poisson (MZIP) model described in Long et al. (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6293> and the marginalized zero- and N-inflated binomial (MZNIB) model, which extends marginalized modeling to fractional count outcomes with boundary inflation at zero and the upper limit.

Extends the base classes and methods of caret package for integration of base learners. The user can input the number of different base learners, and specify the final learner, along with the train-validation-test data partition split ratio. The predictions on the unseen new data is the resultant of the ensemble meta-learning <https://machinelearningmastery.com/stacking-ensemble-machine-learning-with-python/> of the heterogeneous learners aimed to reduce the generalization error in the predictive models. It significantly lowers the barrier for the practitioners to apply heterogeneous ensemble learning techniques in an amateur fashion to their everyday predictive problems.

This package provides a leadership-inference framework for multivariate time series. The framework for multiple-faction-leadership inference from coordinated activities or mFLICA uses a notion of a leader as an individual who initiates collective patterns that everyone in a group follows. Given a set of time series of individual activities, our goal is to identify periods of coordinated activity, find factions of coordination if more than one exist, as well as identify leaders of each faction. For each time step, the framework infers following relations between individual time series, then identifying a leader of each faction whom many individuals follow but it follows no one. A faction is defined as a group of individuals that everyone follows the same leader. mFLICA reports following relations, leaders of factions, and members of each faction for each time step.

Dimension-reduction methods aim at defining a score that maximizes signal diversity. Three approaches, tree weight, maximum entropy weights, and maximum variance weights are provided. These methods are described in He and Fong (2019) <DOI:10.1002/sim.8212>.

Life expectancy is highly correlated over time among countries and between males and females. These associations can be used to improve forecasts. Here we have implemented a method for forecasting female life expectancy based on analysis of the gap between female life expectancy in a country compared with the record level of female life expectancy in the world. Second, to forecast male life expectancy, the gap between male life expectancy and female life expectancy in a country is analysed. We named this method the Double-Gap model. For a detailed description of the method see Pascariu et al. (2018). <doi:10.1016/j.insmatheco.2017.09.011>.

This package implements three families of parsimonious hidden Markov models (HMMs) for matrix-variate longitudinal data using the Expectation-Conditional Maximization (ECM) algorithm. The package supports matrix-variate normal, t, and contaminated normal distributions as emission distributions. For each hidden state, parsimony is achieved through the eigen-decomposition of the covariance matrices associated with the emission distribution. This approach results in a comprehensive set of 98 parsimonious HMMs for each type of emission distribution. Atypical matrix detection is also supported, utilizing the fitted (heavy-tailed) models.
