Kernel Machine Score Test for Semi-Competing Risks

Kernel Machine Score Test for Pathway Analysis in the Presence of Semi-Competing Risks. Method is detailed in: Neykov, Hejblum & Sinnott (2018) .

A New Four-Arm Within-Study Comparison Data on Math and Vocabulary Training

This dataset was collected using a new four-arm within-study comparison design. The study aimed to examine the impact of a mathematics training intervention and a vocabulary study session on post-test scores in mathematics and vocabulary, respectively. The innovative four-arm within-study comparison design facilitates both experimental and quasi-experimental identification of average causal effects.

Tools for the 'qdap' Package

A collection of tools associated with the 'qdap' package that may be useful outside of the context of text analysis.

Templated Reporting Workflows in Word and PowerPoint

Automated reporting in Word and PowerPoint can require customization for each organizational template. This package works around this by adding standard reporting functions and an abstraction layer to facilitate automated reporting workflows that can be replicated across different organizational templates.

Nonparametric Spearman's Correlation for Survival Data

Nonparametric estimation of Spearman's rank correlation with bivariate survival (right-censored) data as described in Eden, S.K., Li, C., Shepherd B.E. (2021), Nonparametric Estimation of Spearman's Rank Correlation with Bivariate Survival Data, Biometrics (under revision). The package also provides functions that visualize bivariate survival data and bivariate probability mass function.

Multivariate Generalized Linear Mixed Models for Ranking Sports Teams

Maximum likelihood estimates are obtained via an EM algorithm with either a first-order or a fully exponential Laplace approximation as documented by Broatch and Karl (2018) , Karl, Yang, and Lohr (2014) , and by Karl (2012) . Karl and Zimmerman use this package to illustrate how the home field effect estimator from a mixed model can be biased under nonrandom scheduling.

Economics and Pricing Tools

Functions to aid in micro and macro economic analysis and handling of price and currency data. Includes extraction of relevant inflation and exchange rate data from World Bank API, data cleaning/parsing, and standardisation. Inflation adjustment calculations as found in Principles of Macroeconomics by Gregory Mankiw et al (2014). Current and historical end of day exchange rates for 171 currencies from the European Central Bank Statistical Data Warehouse (2020).

Calculate Pesticide Risk Metric (PRM) Values from Multiple Pesticides...Calc Them All

Contains functions which can be used to calculate Pesticide Risk Metric values in aquatic environments from concentrations of multiple pesticides with known species sensitive distributions (SSDs). Pesticides provided by this package have all be validated however if the user has their own pesticides with SSD values they can append them to the pesticide_info table to include them in estimates.

Work with Hyperspectral Data, i.e. Spectra + Meta Information (Spatial, Time, Concentration, ...)

Comfortable ways to work with hyperspectral data sets. I.e. spatially or time-resolved spectra, or spectra with any other kind of information associated with each of the spectra. The spectra can be data as obtained in XRF, UV/VIS, Fluorescence, AES, NIR, IR, Raman, NMR, MS, etc. More generally, any data that is recorded over a discretized variable, e.g. absorbance = f(wavelength), stored as a vector of absorbance values for discrete wavelengths is suitable.

Semi-Parametric Shape-Restricted Fixed/Mixed Effect(s) Regression Spline

Select the most suitable shape to describe the relationship between the exposure and the outcome among increasing, decreasing, convex, and concave shapes (Yin et al. (2021) ); estimate the direct and indirect effects with prior knowledge on the relationship between the mediator and the outcome with binary exposure (Yin et al. (2024) ); estimate the direct and indirect effects using linear regression-based approach (VanderWeele (2015, ISBN:9780199325870)).
