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.

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; ).

Recursive Partitioning Based on Psychometric Models

Recursive partitioning based on psychometric models, employing the general MOB algorithm (from package partykit) to obtain Bradley-Terry trees, Rasch trees, rating scale and partial credit trees, and MPT trees, trees for 1PL, 2PL, 3PL and 4PL models and generalized partial credit models.

Interface for 'exams' Exercises in 'learnr' Tutorials

Automatic generation of quizzes or individual questions for 'learnr' tutorials based on 'R/exams' exercises.

Penn World Table (Version 8.x)

The Penn World Table 8.x provides information on relative levels of income, output, inputs, and productivity for 167 countries between 1950 and 2011.

Genetic Analysis Package

As first reported [Zhao, J. H. 2007. "gap: Genetic Analysis Package". J Stat Soft 23(8):1-18. ], it is designed as an integrated package for genetic data analysis of both population and family data. Currently, it contains functions for sample size calculations of both population-based and family-based designs, probability of familial disease aggregation, kinship calculation, statistics in linkage analysis, and association analysis involving genetic markers including haplotype analysis with or without environmental covariates. Over years, the package has been developed in-between many projects hence also in line with the name (gap).
