Colors for all

Color palettes for all people, including those with color vision deficiency. Popular color palette series have been organized by type and have been scored on several properties such as color-blind-friendliness and fairness (i.e. do colors stand out equally?). Own palettes can also be loaded and analysed. Besides the common palette types (categorical, sequential, and diverging) it also includes cyclic and bivariate color palettes. Furthermore, a color for missing values is assigned to each palette.

Embedding 'exams' Exercises as Forms in 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' Documents

Automatic generation of quizzes or individual questions as (interactive) forms within 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' documents based on 'R/exams' exercises.

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.

'vcd' Extensions and Additions

Provides additional data sets, methods and documentation to complement the 'vcd' package for Visualizing Categorical Data and the 'gnm' package for Generalized Nonlinear Models. In particular, 'vcdExtra' extends mosaic, assoc and sieve plots from 'vcd' to handle 'glm()' and 'gnm()' models and adds a 3D version in 'mosaic3d'. Additionally, methods are provided for comparing and visualizing lists of 'glm' and 'loglm' objects. This package is now a support package for the book Friendly, M. and Meyer, D. (2016, ISBN:978-1-4987-2583-5) 'Discrete Data Analysis with R: Visualization and Modeling Techniques for Categorical and Count Data'. Recent work adds colorized tables of frequencies to highlight patterns of association, association graphs to visualize conditional independence and a variety of new or improved statistical tests for categorical data analysis.

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.

Psychometric Mixture Models

Psychometric mixture models based on 'flexmix' infrastructure. At the moment Rasch mixture models with different parameterizations of the score distribution (saturated vs. mean/variance specification), Bradley-Terry mixture models, and MPT mixture models are implemented. These mixture models can be estimated with or without concomitant variables. See Frick et al. (2012) and Frick et al. (2015) for details on the Rasch mixture models.

Discrete Choice (Binary, Poisson and Ordered) Models with Random Parameters

An implementation of simulated maximum likelihood method for the estimation of Binary (Probit and Logit), Ordered (Probit and Logit) and Poisson models with random parameters for cross-sectional and longitudinal data as presented in Sarrias (2016) .

Stratified and Personalised Models Based on Model-Based Trees and Forests

Model-based trees for subgroup analyses in clinical trials and model-based forests for the estimation and prediction of personalised treatment effects (personalised models). Currently partitioning of linear models, lm(), generalised linear models, glm(), and Weibull models, survreg(), is supported. Advanced plotting functionality is supported for the trees and a test for parameter heterogeneity is provided for the personalised models. For details on model-based trees for subgroup analyses see Seibold, Zeileis and Hothorn (2016) ; for details on model-based forests for estimation of individual treatment effects see Seibold, Zeileis and Hothorn (2017) .

Estimate Structured Additive Regression Models with 'BayesX'

An R interface to estimate structured additive regression (STAR) models with 'BayesX'.

Recursive Partitioning of Network Models

Network trees recursively partition the data with respect to covariates. Two network tree algorithms are available: model-based trees based on a multivariate normal model and nonparametric trees based on covariance structures. After partitioning, correlation-based networks (psychometric networks) can be fit on the partitioned data. For details see Jones, Mair, Simon, & Zeileis (2020) .
