CRAN Task Views

Infrastructure for task views to CRAN-style repositories: Querying task views and installing the associated packages (client-side tools), generating HTML pages and storing task view information in the repository (server-side tools).

Nested Dichotomy Logistic Regression Models

Provides functions for specifying and fitting nested dichotomy logistic regression models for a multi-category response and methods for summarising and plotting those models. Nested dichotomies are statistically independent, and hence provide an additive decomposition of tests for the overall 'polytomous' response. When the dichotomies make sense substantively, this method can be a simpler alternative to the standard 'multinomial' logistic model which compares response categories to a reference level. See: J. Fox (2016), "Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models", 3rd Ed., ISBN 1452205663.

Lightweight Extension of the Base R Graphics System

Lightweight extension of the base R graphics system, with support for automatic legends, facets, themes, and various other enhancements.

Colors for all

Color palettes for all people, including those with color vision deficiency. Popular color palette series have been organized by type and have been scored on several properties such as color-blind-friendliness and fairness (i.e. do colors stand out equally?). Own palettes can also be loaded and analysed. Besides the common palette types (categorical, sequential, and diverging) it also includes cyclic and bivariate color palettes. Furthermore, a color for missing values is assigned to each palette.

Stability Assessment of Statistical Learning Methods

Graphical and computational methods that can be used to assess the stability of results from supervised statistical learning.

Discrete Choice (Binary, Poisson and Ordered) Models with Random Parameters

An implementation of simulated maximum likelihood method for the estimation of Binary (Probit and Logit), Ordered (Probit and Logit) and Poisson models with random parameters for cross-sectional and longitudinal data as presented in Sarrias (2016) .

Stratified and Personalised Models Based on Model-Based Trees and Forests

Model-based trees for subgroup analyses in clinical trials and model-based forests for the estimation and prediction of personalised treatment effects (personalised models). Currently partitioning of linear models, lm(), generalised linear models, glm(), and Weibull models, survreg(), is supported. Advanced plotting functionality is supported for the trees and a test for parameter heterogeneity is provided for the personalised models. For details on model-based trees for subgroup analyses see Seibold, Zeileis and Hothorn (2016) ; for details on model-based forests for estimation of individual treatment effects see Seibold, Zeileis and Hothorn (2017) .

Embedding 'exams' Exercises as Forms in 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' Documents

Automatic generation of quizzes or individual questions as (interactive) forms within 'rmarkdown' or 'quarto' documents based on 'R/exams' exercises.

Estimate Structured Additive Regression Models with 'BayesX'

An R interface to estimate structured additive regression (STAR) models with 'BayesX'.

Probability Distributions as S3 Objects

Tools to create and manipulate probability distributions using S3. Generics pdf(), cdf(), quantile(), and random() provide replacements for base R's d/p/q/r style functions. Functions and arguments have been named carefully to minimize confusion for students in intro stats courses. The documentation for each distribution contains detailed mathematical notes.
