Doubly Robust Inverse Probability Weighted Augmented GEE Estimator

Implements a semi-parametric GEE estimator accounting for missing data with Inverse-probability weighting (IPW) and for imbalance in covariates with augmentation (AUG). The estimator IPW-AUG-GEE is Doubly robust (DR).

Create 'Formattable' Data Structures

Provides functions to create formattable vectors and data frames. 'Formattable' vectors are printed with text formatting, and formattable data frames are printed with multiple types of formatting in HTML to improve the readability of data presented in tabular form rendered in web pages.

Probability Computations on Pedigrees

An implementation of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for calculating pedigree likelihoods given genetic marker data (Elston and Stewart (1971) ). The standard algorithm is extended to allow inbred founders. 'pedprobr' is part of the 'pedsuite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis in R. In particular, 'pedprobr' depends on 'pedtools' for pedigree manipulations and 'pedmut' for mutation modelling. For more information, see 'Pedigree Analysis in R' (Vigeland, 2021, ISBN:9780128244302).

Fast Fixed-Effects Estimations

Fast and user-friendly estimation of econometric models with multiple fixed-effects. Includes ordinary least squares (OLS), generalized linear models (GLM) and the negative binomial. The core of the package is based on optimized parallel C++ code, scaling especially well for large data sets. The method to obtain the fixed-effects coefficients is based on Berge (2018) < https://github.com/lrberge/fixest/blob/master/_DOCS/FENmlm_paper.pdf>. Further provides tools to export and view the results of several estimations with intuitive design to cluster the standard-errors.

The CDK Libraries Packaged for R

An R interface to the Chemistry Development Kit, a Java library for chemoinformatics. Given the size of the library itself, this package is not expected to change very frequently. To make use of the CDK within R, it is suggested that you use the 'rcdk' package. Note that it is possible to directly interact with the CDK using 'rJava'. However 'rcdk' exposes functionality in a more idiomatic way. The CDK library itself is released as LGPL and the sources can be obtained from < https://github.com/cdk/cdk>.

Sensitivity Analysis for Observational Studies with Multiple Outcomes

Sensitivity analysis for multiple outcomes in observational studies. For instance, all linear combinations of several outcomes may be explored using Scheffe projections in the comparison() function; see Rosenbaum (2016, Annals of Applied Statistics) . Alternatively, attention may focus on a few principal components in the principal() function. The package includes parallel methods for individual outcomes, including tests in the senm() function and confidence intervals in the senmCI() function.

Multiple Imputation of Covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification

Implements multiple imputation of missing covariates by Substantive Model Compatible Fully Conditional Specification. This is a modification of the popular FCS/chained equations multiple imputation approach, and allows imputation of missing covariate values from models which are compatible with the user specified substantive model.

Multidimensional Item Response Theory

Analysis of discrete response data using unidimensional and multidimensional item analysis models under the Item Response Theory paradigm (Chalmers (2012) ). Exploratory and confirmatory item factor analysis models are estimated with quadrature (EM) or stochastic (MHRM) methods. Confirmatory bi-factor and two-tier models are available for modeling item testlets using dimension reduction EM algorithms, while multiple group analyses and mixed effects designs are included for detecting differential item, bundle, and test functioning, and for modeling item and person covariates. Finally, latent class models such as the DINA, DINO, multidimensional latent class, mixture IRT models, and zero-inflated response models are supported, as well as a wide family of probabilistic unfolding models.

Multiple Comparisons Using Normal Approximation

Multiple contrast tests and simultaneous confidence intervals based on normal approximation. With implementations for binomial proportions in a 2xk setting (risk difference and odds ratio), poly-3-adjusted tumour rates, biodiversity indices (multinomial data) and expected values under lognormal assumption. Approximative power calculation for multiple contrast tests of binomial and Gaussian data.

Automatic Marking of R Assignments

Automatic marking of R assignments for students and teachers based on 'testthat' test suites.
