Helpers for Model Coefficients Tibbles

Provides suite of functions to work with regression model 'broom::tidy()' tibbles. The suite includes functions to group regression model terms by variable, insert reference and header rows for categorical variables, add variable labels, and more.

Useful Tools for Structural Equation Modeling

Provides miscellaneous tools for structural equation modeling, many of which extend the 'lavaan' package. For example, latent interactions can be estimated using product indicators (Lin et al., 2010, ) and simple effects probed; analytical power analyses can be conducted (Jak et al., 2021, ); and scale reliability can be estimated based on estimated factor-model parameters.

D-Score for Child Development

The D-score summarizes the child's performance on a set of milestones into a single number. The package implements four Rasch model keys to convert milestone scores into a D-score. It provides tools to calculate the D-score and its precision from the child's milestone scores, to convert the D-score into the Development-for-Age Z-score (DAZ) using age-conditional references, and to map milestone names into a generic 9-position item naming convention.

Extra Analysis Results Data Utilities

Create extra Analysis Results Data (ARD) summary objects. The package supplements the simple ARD functions from the 'cards' package, exporting functions to put statistical results in the ARD format. These objects are used and re-used to construct summary tables, visualizations, and written reports.

Competing Risks Estimation

Provides an intuitive interface for working with the competing risk endpoints. The package wraps the 'cmprsk' package, and exports functions for univariate cumulative incidence estimates and competing risk regression. Methods follow those introduced in Fine and Gray (1999) .

Fits Poisson-Sum-of-Gammas GLMs, Tweedie GLMs, and Delta Log-Normal Models

Fits models to catch and effort data. Single-species models are 1) delta log-normal, 2) Tweedie, or 3) Poisson-gamma (G)LMs.

Large, Sparse Optimal Matching with Refined Covariate Balance

Tools for large, sparse optimal matching of treated units and control units in observational studies. Provisions are made for refined covariate balance constraints, which include fine and near-fine balance as special cases. Matches are optimal in the sense that they are computed as solutions to network optimization problems rather than greedy algorithms. See Pimentel, et al.(2015) and Pimentel (2016), Obs. Studies 2(1):4-23. The rrelaxiv package, which provides an alternative solver for the underlying network flow problems, carries an academic license and is not available on CRAN, but may be downloaded from Github at < https://github.com/josherrickson/rrelaxiv/>.

Flexible Time-to-Event Figures

Ease the creation of time-to-event (i.e. survival) endpoint figures. The modular functions create figures ready for publication. Each of the functions that add to or modify the figure are written as proper 'ggplot2' geoms or stat methods, allowing the functions from this package to be combined with any function or customization from 'ggplot2' and other 'ggplot2' extension packages.

Thematic Maps

Thematic maps are geographical maps in which spatial data distributions are visualized. This package offers a flexible, layer-based, and easy to use approach to create thematic maps, such as choropleths and bubble maps.

Estimating Systems of Simultaneous Equations

Econometric estimation of simultaneous systems of linear and nonlinear equations using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Weighted Least Squares (WLS), Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR), Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS), Weighted Two-Stage Least Squares (W2SLS), and Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) as suggested, e.g., by Zellner (1962) , Zellner and Theil (1962) , and Schmidt (1990) .
