Bayesian Clustering Using the Table Invitation Prior (TIP)

Cluster data without specifying the number of clusters using the Table Invitation Prior (TIP) introduced in the paper "Clustering Gene Expression Using the Table Invitation Prior" by Charles W. Harrison, Qing He, and Hsin-Hsiung Huang (2022) . TIP is a Bayesian prior that uses pairwise distance and similarity information to cluster vectors, matrices, or tensors.

Continuous Time Structural Equation Modelling

Hierarchical continuous (and discrete) time state space modelling, for linear and nonlinear systems measured by continuous variables, with limited support for binary data. The subject specific dynamic system is modelled as a stochastic differential equation (SDE) or difference equation, measurement models are typically multivariate normal factor models. Linear mixed effects SDE's estimated via maximum likelihood and optimization are the default. Nonlinearities, (state dependent parameters) and random effects on all parameters are possible, using either max likelihood / max a posteriori optimization (with optional importance sampling) or Stan's Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling. See < https://github.com/cdriveraus/ctsem/raw/master/vignettes/hierarchicalmanual.pdf> for details. See < https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/4q9ex_v2> for a detailed tutorial. Priors may be used. For the conceptual overview of the hierarchical Bayesian linear SDE approach, see < https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324093594_Hierarchical_Bayesian_Continuous_Time_Dynamic_Modeling>.

Charles's Utility Function using Formula

Utility functions that provides wrapper to descriptive base functions like cor, mean and table. It makes use of the formula interface to pass variables to functions. It also provides operators to concatenate (%+%), to repeat (%n%) and manage character vectors for nice display.

Clustering in the Discriminative Functional Subspace

The funFEM algorithm (Bouveyron et al., 2014) allows to cluster functional data by modeling the curves within a common and discriminative functional subspace.

Robust Mixture Discriminant Analysis

Robust mixture discriminant analysis (RMDA), proposed in Bouveyron & Girard, 2009 , allows to build a robust supervised classifier from learning data with label noise. The idea of the proposed method is to confront an unsupervised modeling of the data with the supervised information carried by the labels of the learning data in order to detect inconsistencies. The method is able afterward to build a robust classifier taking into account the detected inconsistencies into the labels.

Logic Regression

Routines for fitting Logic Regression models. Logic Regression is described in Ruczinski, Kooperberg, and LeBlanc (2003) . Monte Carlo Logic Regression is described in and Kooperberg and Ruczinski (2005) .

The FisherEM Algorithm to Simultaneously Cluster and Visualize High-Dimensional Data

The FisherEM algorithm, proposed by Bouveyron & Brunet (2012) , is an efficient method for the clustering of high-dimensional data. FisherEM models and clusters the data in a discriminative and low-dimensional latent subspace. It also provides a low-dimensional representation of the clustered data. A sparse version of Fisher-EM algorithm is also provided.

Model-Based Co-Clustering of Functional Data

The funLBM algorithm allows to simultaneously cluster the rows and the columns of a data matrix where each entry of the matrix is a function or a time series.
