Bayesian Applied Regression Modeling via Stan

Estimates previously compiled regression models using the 'rstan' package, which provides the R interface to the Stan C++ library for Bayesian estimation. Users specify models via the customary R syntax with a formula and data.frame plus some additional arguments for priors.

Time Series Analysis

Contains R functions and datasets detailed in the book "Time Series Analysis with Applications in R (second edition)" by Jonathan Cryer and Kung-Sik Chan.

Forecasting Mortality, Fertility, Migration and Population Data

Functions for demographic analysis including lifetable calculations; Lee-Carter modelling; functional data analysis of mortality rates, fertility rates, net migration numbers; and stochastic population forecasting.

Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models

Collection of functions for distributed lag linear and non-linear models.

Relative Distribution Methods

Tools for the comparison of distributions. This includes nonparametric estimation of the relative distribution PDF and CDF and numerical summaries as described in "Relative Distribution Methods in the Social Sciences" by Mark S. Handcock and Martina Morris, Springer-Verlag, 1999, Springer-Verlag, ISBN 0387987789.

SIMEX- And MCSIMEX-Algorithm for Measurement Error Models

Implementation of the SIMEX-Algorithm by Cook & Stefanski (1994) and MCSIMEX by Küchenhoff, Mwalili & Lesaffre (2006) .

Flexible Mixture Modeling

A general framework for finite mixtures of regression models using the EM algorithm is implemented. The E-step and all data handling are provided, while the M-step can be supplied by the user to easily define new models. Existing drivers implement mixtures of standard linear models, generalized linear models and model-based clustering.

R Commander

A platform-independent basic-statistics GUI (graphical user interface) for R, based on the tcltk package.

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines

Build regression models using the techniques in Friedman's papers "Fast MARS" and "Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines" . (The term "MARS" is trademarked and thus not used in the name of the package.)

Simple Interactive Controls for R using the 'tcltk' Package

A set of functions to build simple GUI controls for R functions. These are built on the 'tcltk' package. Uses could include changing a parameter on a graph by animating it with a slider or a "doublebutton", up to more sophisticated control panels. Some functions for specific graphical tasks, referred to as 'cartoons', are provided.
