Validation of Arguments and Objects in User-Defined Functions

Utility functions that implement and automate common sets of validation tasks. These functions are particularly useful to validate inputs, intermediate objects and output values in user-defined functions, resulting in tidier and less verbose functions.

Computational Tools for Economics

Implements solutions to canonical models of Economics such as Monopoly Profit Maximization, Cournot's Duopoly, Solow (1956, ) growth model and Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992, ) growth model.

A General-Purpose Package for Dynamic Report Generation in R

Provides a general-purpose tool for dynamic report generation in R using Literate Programming techniques.

Infer Gene Probabilistic Boolean Networks from Single-Cell Data

Given a gene regulatory boolean network and a RNA-seq dataset, this package computes protein activity normalised enrichment scores using 'VIPER', and then produces a probabilistic network using the scores as probabilities for fixed node activation or deactivation, in addition to the original Boolean functions. For more information, refer to the preprint: Victori and Buffa (2022) .

Bayes Linear Estimators for Finite Population

Allows the user to apply the Bayes Linear approach to finite population with the Simple Random Sampling - BLE_SRS() - and the Stratified Simple Random Sampling design - BLE_SSRS() - (both without replacement), to the Ratio estimator (using auxiliary information) - BLE_Ratio() - and to categorical data - BLE_Categorical(). The Bayes linear estimation approach is applied to a general linear regression model for finite population prediction in BLE_Reg() and it is also possible to achieve the design based estimators using vague prior distributions. Based on Gonçalves, K.C.M, Moura, F.A.S and Migon, H.S.(2014) < https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/catalogue/12-001-X201400111886>.

Selecting Variable Subsets

A collection of functions which (i) assess the quality of variable subsets as surrogates for a full data set, in either an exploratory data analysis or in the context of a multivariate linear model, and (ii) search for subsets which are optimal under various criteria. Theoretical support for the heuristic search methods and exploratory data analysis criteria is in Cadima, Cerdeira, Minhoto (2003, ). Theoretical support for the leap and bounds algorithm and the criteria for the general multivariate linear model is in Duarte Silva (2001, ). There is a package vignette "subselect", which includes additional references.

Extended Joint Models for Longitudinal and Time-to-Event Data

Fit joint models for longitudinal and time-to-event data under the Bayesian approach. Multiple longitudinal outcomes of mixed type (continuous/categorical) and multiple event times (competing risks and multi-state processes) are accommodated. Rizopoulos (2012, ISBN:9781439872864).

Aggregate Multiple ROC Curves into One Global ROC

Aggregates multiple Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves obtained from different sources into one global ROC. Additionally, it’s also possible to calculate the aggregated precision-recall (PR) curve.

Efficient Outlier Detection for Large Time Series Databases

Programs for detecting and cleaning outliers in single time series and in time series from homogeneous and heterogeneous databases using an Orthogonal Greedy Algorithm (OGA) for saturated linear regression models. The programs implement the procedures presented in the paper entitled "Efficient Outlier Detection for Large Time Series Databases" by Pedro Galeano, Daniel Peña and Ruey S. Tsay (2025), working paper, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Version 1.1.1 contains some improvements in parallelization with respect to version 1.0.1.
