Truncated Gaussian Regression Models

Estimation of models for truncated Gaussian variables by maximum likelihood.

Automatic Generation of Exams in R

Automatic generation of exams based on exercises in Markdown or LaTeX format, possibly including R code for dynamic generation of exercise elements. Exercise types include single-choice and multiple-choice questions, arithmetic problems, string questions, and combinations thereof (cloze). Output formats include standalone files (PDF, HTML, Docx, ODT, ...), Moodle XML, QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, Blackboard, Canvas, OpenOlat, ILIAS, TestVision, Particify, ARSnova, Kahoot!, Grasple, and TCExam. In addition to fully customizable PDF exams, a standardized PDF format (NOPS) is provided that can be printed, scanned, and automatically evaluated.

R/Weka Interface

An R interface to Weka (Version 3.9.3). Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks written in Java, containing tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualization. Package 'RWeka' contains the interface code, the Weka jar is in a separate package 'RWekajars'. For more information on Weka see < https://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/>.

Tools and Classes for Statistical Models

A collection of tools to deal with statistical models. The functionality is experimental and the user interface is likely to change in the future. The documentation is rather terse, but packages `coin' and `party' have some working examples. However, if you find the implemented ideas interesting we would be very interested in a discussion of this proposal. Contributions are more than welcome!

R Fortunes

A collection of fortunes from the R community.

Exchange Rate Regime Analysis

Exchange rate regression and structural change tools for estimating, testing, dating, and monitoring (de facto) exchange rate regimes.

Distributions for Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape

A set of distributions which can be used for modelling the response variables in Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape, Rigby and Stasinopoulos (2005), . The distributions can be continuous, discrete or mixed distributions. Extra distributions can be created, by transforming, any continuous distribution defined on the real line, to a distribution defined on ranges 0 to infinity or 0 to 1, by using a 'log' or a 'logit' transformation respectively.

Management of Survey Data and Presentation of Analysis Results

An infrastructure for the management of survey data including value labels, definable missing values, recoding of variables, production of code books, and import of (subsets of) 'SPSS' and 'Stata' files is provided. Further, the package allows to produce tables and data frames of arbitrary descriptive statistics and (almost) publication-ready tables of regression model estimates, which can be exported to 'LaTeX' and HTML.

Lightweight Extension of the Base R Graphics System

Lightweight extension of the base R graphics system, with support for automatic legends, facets, themes, and various other enhancements.

Generalized Linear Mixed Model Trees

Recursive partitioning based on (generalized) linear mixed models (GLMMs) combining lmer()/glmer() from 'lme4' and lmtree()/glmtree() from 'partykit'. The fitting algorithm is described in more detail in Fokkema, Smits, Zeileis, Hothorn & Kelderman (2018; ). For detecting and modeling subgroups in growth curves with GLMM trees see Fokkema & Zeileis (2024; ).
