Greedy Set Cover

A fast implementation of the greedy algorithm for the set cover problem using 'Rcpp'.

Embed 'SWI'-'Prolog'

Interface to 'SWI'-'Prolog', < https://www.swi-prolog.org/>. This package is normally not loaded directly, please refer to package 'rolog' instead. The purpose of this package is to provide the 'Prolog' runtime on systems that do not have a software installation of 'SWI'-'Prolog'.

Quantile-Quantile Plot with Several Gaussian Simulations

Plots a QQ-Norm Plot with several Gaussian simulations.

Infinitesimally Robust Estimators for Preprocessing -Omics Data

Functions for the determination of optimally robust influence curves and estimators for preprocessing omics data, in particular gene expression data (Kohl and Deigner (2010), ).

Optimally Robust Influence Curves for Regression and Scale

Functions for the determination of optimally robust influence curves in case of linear regression with unknown scale and standard normal distributed errors where the regressor is random.

Optimally Robust Estimation - Old Version

Optimally robust estimation using S4 classes and methods. Old version still needed for current versions of ROptRegTS and RobRex.

Multivariate Normal Probabilities using Vecchia Approximation

Under a different representation of the multivariate normal (MVN) probability, we can use the Vecchia approximation to sample the integrand at a linear complexity with respect to n. Additionally, both the SOV algorithm from Genz (92) and the exponential-tilting method from Botev (2017) can be adapted to linear complexity. The reference for the method implemented in this package is Jian Cao and Matthias Katzfuss (2024) "Linear-Cost Vecchia Approximation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" . Two major references for the development of our method are Alan Genz (1992) "Numerical Computation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities" and Z. I. Botev (2017) "The Normal Law Under Linear Restrictions: Simulation and Estimation via Minimax Tilting" .

Aggregate Longitudinal Survey Data

Aggregate Business Tendency Survey Data (and other qualitative surveys) to time series at various aggregation levels. Run aggregation of survey data in a speedy, re-traceable and a easily deployable way. Aggregation is substantially accelerated by use of data.table. This package intends to provide an interface that is less general and abstract than data.table but rather geared towards survey researchers.

Explicitly Qualifying Namespaces by Automatically Adding 'pkg::' to Functions

Automatically adding 'pkg::' to a function, i.e. mutate() becomes dplyr::mutate(). It is up to the user to determine which packages should be used explicitly, whether to include base R packages or use the functionality on selected text, a file, or a complete directory. User friendly logging is provided in the 'RStudio' Markers pane. Lives in the spirit of 'lintr' and 'styler'. Can also be used for checking which packages are actually used in a project.

Estimating and Mapping Disaggregated Indicators

Functions that support estimating, assessing and mapping regional disaggregated indicators. So far, estimation methods comprise direct estimation, the model-based unit-level approach Empirical Best Prediction (see "Small area estimation of poverty indicators" by Molina and Rao (2010) ), the area-level model (see "Estimates of income for small places: An application of James-Stein procedures to Census Data" by Fay and Herriot (1979) ) and various extensions of it (adjusted variance estimation methods, log and arcsin transformation, spatial, robust and measurement error models), as well as their precision estimates. The assessment of the used model is supported by a summary and diagnostic plots. For a suitable presentation of estimates, map plots can be easily created. Furthermore, results can easily be exported to excel. For a detailed description of the package and the methods used see "The R Package emdi for Estimating and Mapping Regionally Disaggregated Indicators" by Kreutzmann et al. (2019) and the second package vignette "A Framework for Producing Small Area Estimates Based on Area-Level Models in R".
