Statistical Analysis in Epidemiology

Functions for demographic and epidemiological analysis in the Lexis diagram, i.e. register and cohort follow-up data. In particular representation, manipulation, rate estimation and simulation for multistate data - the Lexis suite of functions, which includes interfaces to 'mstate', 'etm' and 'cmprsk' packages. Contains functions for Age-Period-Cohort and Lee-Carter modeling and a function for interval censored data. Has functions for extracting and manipulating parameter estimates and predicted values (ci.lin and its cousins), as well as a number of epidemiological data sets.

Functional Data Analysis and Empirical Dynamics

A versatile package that provides implementation of various methods of Functional Data Analysis (FDA) and Empirical Dynamics. The core of this package is Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA), a key technique for functional data analysis, for sparsely or densely sampled random trajectories and time courses, via the Principal Analysis by Conditional Estimation (PACE) algorithm. This core algorithm yields covariance and mean functions, eigenfunctions and principal component (scores), for both functional data and derivatives, for both dense (functional) and sparse (longitudinal) sampling designs. For sparse designs, it provides fitted continuous trajectories with confidence bands, even for subjects with very few longitudinal observations. PACE is a viable and flexible alternative to random effects modeling of longitudinal data. There is also a Matlab version (PACE) that contains some methods not available on fdapace and vice versa. Updates to fdapace were supported by grants from NIH Echo and NSF DMS-1712864 and DMS-2014626. Please cite our package if you use it (You may run the command citation("fdapace") to get the citation format and bibtex entry). References: Wang, J.L., Chiou, J., Müller, H.G.

Regression with Functional Data

Methods for regression for functional data, including function-on-scalar, scalar-on-function, and function-on-function regression. Some of the functions are applicable to image data.

Tour Methods for Multivariate Data Visualisation

Implements geodesic interpolation and basis generation functions that allow you to create new tour methods from R.

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.

Indices of Effect Size

Provide utilities to work with indices of effect size for a wide variety of models and hypothesis tests (see list of supported models using the function 'insight::supported_models()'), allowing computation of and conversion between indices such as Cohen's d, r, odds, etc. References: Ben-Shachar et al. (2020) .

Tidying Methods for Mixed Models

Convert fitted objects from various R mixed-model packages into tidy data frames along the lines of the 'broom' package. The package provides three S3 generics for each model: tidy(), which summarizes a model's statistical findings such as coefficients of a regression; augment(), which adds columns to the original data such as predictions, residuals and cluster assignments; and glance(), which provides a one-row summary of model-level statistics.

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.

SIMEX- And MCSIMEX-Algorithm for Measurement Error Models

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

Convert Statistical Objects into Tidy Tibbles

Summarizes key information about statistical objects in tidy tibbles. This makes it easy to report results, create plots and consistently work with large numbers of models at once. Broom provides three verbs that each provide different types of information about a model. tidy() summarizes information about model components such as coefficients of a regression. glance() reports information about an entire model, such as goodness of fit measures like AIC and BIC. augment() adds information about individual observations to a dataset, such as fitted values or influence measures.
