Estimation Methods for Gravity Models

A wrapper of different standard estimation methods for gravity models. This package provides estimation methods for log-log models and multiplicative models.

Bayesian Inference for the Multivariate Skew-t Model

Estimates the multivariate skew-t and nested models, as described in the articles Liseo, B., Parisi, A. (2013). Bayesian inference for the multivariate skew-normal model: a population Monte Carlo approach. Comput. Statist. Data Anal. and in Parisi, A., Liseo, B. (2017). Objective Bayesian analysis for the multivariate skew-t model. Statistical Methods & Applications .

Minimal Type Guesser

Port the type guesser from 'readr' (so-called 'readr' first edition parsing engine, now superseded by 'vroom').

Read Hierarchical Fixed Width Files

Read hierarchical fixed width files like those commonly used by many census data providers. Also allows for reading of data in chunks, and reading 'gzipped' files without storing the full file in memory.

Paginate the HTML Output of R Markdown with CSS for Print

Use the paged media properties in CSS and the JavaScript library 'paged.js' to split the content of an HTML document into discrete pages. Each page can have its page size, page numbers, margin boxes, and running headers, etc. Applications of this package include books, letters, reports, papers, business cards, resumes, and posters.
