Empirical Transition Matrix

The etm (empirical transition matrix) package permits to estimate the matrix of transition probabilities for any time-inhomogeneous multistate model with finite state space using the Aalen-Johansen estimator. Functions for data preparation and for displaying are also included (Allignol et al., 2011 ). Functionals of the Aalen-Johansen estimator, e.g., excess length-of-stay in an intermediate state, can also be computed (Allignol et al. 2011 ).

Nelson-Aalen Estimator of the Cumulative Hazard in Multistate Models

Computes the Nelson-Aalen estimator of the cumulative transition hazard for arbitrary Markov multistate models .

Complete Environment for Bayesian Inference

Provides a complete environment for Bayesian inference using a variety of different samplers (see ?LaplacesDemon for an overview). The README describes the history of the package development process.

Bayesian Latent Class Analysis

Bayesian Latent Class Analysis using several different methods.

Regularized and Sparse Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis for Multiblock Data

Multiblock data analysis concerns the analysis of several sets of variables (blocks) observed on the same group of individuals. The main aims of the RGCCA package are: (i) to study the relationships between blocks and (ii) to identify subsets of variables of each block which are active in their relationships with the other blocks.

The Conditional Probability Function of a Competing Event

Permits to estimate the conditional probability function of a competing event, and to fit, using the temporal process regression or the pseudo-value approach, a proportional-odds model to the conditional probability function (or other models by specifying another link function). See .

Kaplan-Meier Multiple Imputation for the Analysis of Cumulative Incidence Functions in the Competing Risks Setting

Performs a Kaplan-Meier multiple imputation to recover the missing potential censoring information from competing risks events, so that standard right-censored methods could be applied to the imputed data sets to perform analyses of the cumulative incidence functions (Allignol and Beyersmann, 2010 ).

Communication Between Editor and Viewer for Literate Programs

This utility eases the debugging of literate documents ('noweb' files) by patching the synchronization information (the '.synctex(.gz)' file) produced by 'pdflatex' with concordance information produced by 'Sweave' or 'knitr' and 'Sweave' or 'knitr' ; this allows for bilateral communication between a text editor (visualizing the 'noweb' source) and a viewer (visualizing the resultant 'PDF'), thus bypassing the intermediate 'TeX' file.

A Set of Methods for Longitudinal Data Objects

A very simple implementation of a class for longitudinal data.

Interface to the Uber API

The Uber API provides a programmatic way to interact with the Uber international online transportation network. This package enables access to the Uber API from within R. Specifically it is possible to: extract information about a user's account, find out about nearby Uber vehicles, get estimates for rides, book or cancel a ride. See < https://developer.uber.com/> for more information.
