Inference Using Simulation

Implements functions for simulation-based inference. In particular, implements functions to perform likelihood inference from data summaries whose distributions are simulated, as first described in Rousset et al. (2017) . The package implements more advanced methods described in Rousset et al. (2025) .

Easy Web Scraping

The goal of 'ralger' is to facilitate web scraping in R.

Cramer-von Mises Goodness-of-Fit Tests

It is devoted to Cramer-von Mises goodness-of-fit tests. It implements three statistical methods based on Cramer-von Mises statistics to estimate and test a regression model.

Airborne LiDAR Filtering Method Based on Cloth Simulation

Cloth Simulation Filter (CSF) is an airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) ground points filtering algorithm which is based on cloth simulation. It tries to simulate the interactions between the cloth nodes and the corresponding LiDAR points, the locations of the cloth nodes can be determined to generate an approximation of the ground surface < https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/8/6/501/htm>.

Exploratory Data Analysis for the 'spatstat' Family

Functionality for exploratory data analysis and nonparametric analysis of spatial data, mainly spatial point patterns, in the 'spatstat' family of packages. (Excludes analysis of spatial data on a linear network, which is covered by the separate package 'spatstat.linnet'.) Methods include quadrat counts, K-functions and their simulation envelopes, nearest neighbour distance and empty space statistics, Fry plots, pair correlation function, kernel smoothed intensity, relative risk estimation with cross-validated bandwidth selection, mark correlation functions, segregation indices, mark dependence diagnostics, and kernel estimates of covariate effects. Formal hypothesis tests of random pattern (chi-squared, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Monte Carlo, Diggle-Cressie-Loosmore-Ford, Dao-Genton, two-stage Monte Carlo) and tests for covariate effects (Cox-Berman-Waller-Lawson, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, ANOVA) are also supported.

Computes the Variance-Covariance Matrix of Multidimensional Parameters Using M-Estimation

Provides a flexible framework for estimating the variance-covariance matrix of estimated parameters. Estimation relies on unbiased estimating functions to compute the empirical sandwich variance. (i.e., M-estimation in the vein of Tsiatis et al. (2019) .

Blind Source Separation Methods Based on Joint Diagonalization and Some BSS Performance Criteria

Cardoso's JADE algorithm as well as his functions for joint diagonalization are ported to R. Also several other blind source separation (BSS) methods, like AMUSE and SOBI, and some criteria for performance evaluation of BSS algorithms, are given. The package is described in Miettinen, Nordhausen and Taskinen (2017) .

Mixed-Effect Models, with or without Spatial Random Effects

Inference based on models with or without spatially-correlated random effects, multivariate responses, or non-Gaussian random effects (e.g., Beta). Variation in residual variance (heteroscedasticity) can itself be represented by a mixed-effect model. Both classical geostatistical models (Rousset and Ferdy 2014 ), and Markov random field models on irregular grids (as considered in the 'INLA' package, < https://www.r-inla.org>), can be fitted, with distinct computational procedures exploiting the sparse matrix representations for the latter case and other autoregressive models. Laplace approximations are used for likelihood or restricted likelihood. Penalized quasi-likelihood and other variants discussed in the h-likelihood literature (Lee and Nelder 2001 ) are also implemented.
