Percentile

The main function biclust() provides several algorithms to find biclusters in two-dimensional data: Cheng and Church (2000, ISBN:1-57735-115-0), spectral (2003) <doi:10.1101/gr.648603>, plaid model (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2004.02.003>, xmotifs (2003) <doi:10.1142/9789812776303_0008> and bimax (2006) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl060>. In addition, the package provides methods for data preprocessing (normalization and discretisation), visualisation, and validation of bicluster solutions.

Automatic generation of exams based on exercises in Markdown or LaTeX format, possibly including R code for dynamic generation of exercise elements. Exercise types include single-choice and multiple-choice questions, arithmetic problems, string questions, and combinations thereof (cloze). Output formats include standalone files (PDF, HTML, Docx, ODT, ...), Moodle XML, QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, Blackboard, Canvas, OpenOLAT, ARSnova, and TCExam. In addition to fully customizable PDF exams, a standardized PDF format (NOPS) is provided that can be printed, scanned, and automatically evaluated.

#### flexmix

cran
99.99th

Percentile

A general framework for finite mixtures of regression models using the EM algorithm is implemented. The E-step and all data handling are provided, while the M-step can be supplied by the user to easily define new models. Existing drivers implement mixtures of standard linear models, generalized linear models and model-based clustering.

#### fracdiff

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a fractionally differenced ARIMA(p,d,q) model (Haslett and Raftery, Appl.Statistics, 1989); including inference and basic methods. Some alternative algorithms to estimate "H".

#### modeltools

cran
99.99th

Percentile

A collection of tools to deal with statistical models. The functionality is experimental and the user interface is likely to change in the future. The documentation is rather terse, but packages coin' and party' have some working examples. However, if you find the implemented ideas interesting we would be very interested in a discussion of this proposal. Contributions are more than welcome!

#### mvtnorm

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Computes multivariate normal and t probabilities, quantiles, random deviates and densities.

#### nmm

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Estimates a subset of nonlinear multivariate models (NMM): system of nonlinear regressions (SNR), logit, and a joint model of SNR and logit. 'nmm' uniquely accounts for correlations between the error terms from nonlinear regressions and the probabilities from logit models. It also enables a very flexible design of logit: alternative-specific indirect utilities, individual-specific choice set and number of actual choices.

#### nor1mix

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Onedimensional Normal (i.e. Gaussian) Mixture Models Classes, for, e.g., density estimation or clustering algorithms research and teaching; providing the widely used Marron-Wand densities. Efficient random number generation and graphics. Fitting to data by efficient ML (Maximum Likelihood) or traditional EM estimation.

#### ockc

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Extends 'flexclust' with an R implementation of order constrained solutions in k-means clustering (Steinley and Hubert, 2008, <doi:10.1007/s11336-008-9058-z>).

#### psychomix

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Psychometric mixture models based on 'flexmix' infrastructure. At the moment Rasch mixture models with different parameterizations of the score distribution (saturated vs. mean/variance specification), Bradley-Terry mixture models, and MPT mixture models are implemented. These mixture models can be estimated with or without concomitant variables. See vignette('raschmix', package = 'psychomix') for details on the Rasch mixture models.

#### semPLS

cran

Percentile

Fits structural equation models using partial least squares (PLS). The PLS approach is referred to as 'soft-modeling' technique requiring no distributional assumptions on the observed data.

#### signal

Percentile

Support for reading and writing files in StatDataML---an XML-based data exchange format.

#### strucchange

cran
99.99th

Percentile

Testing, monitoring and dating structural changes in (linear) regression models. strucchange features tests/methods from the generalized fluctuation test framework as well as from the F test (Chow test) framework. This includes methods to fit, plot and test fluctuation processes (e.g., CUSUM, MOSUM, recursive/moving estimates) and F statistics, respectively. It is possible to monitor incoming data online using fluctuation processes. Finally, the breakpoints in regression models with structural changes can be estimated together with confidence intervals. Emphasis is always given to methods for visualizing the data.

#### WeightSVM

Percentile

Functions for subject/instance weighted support vector machines (SVM). It uses a modified version of 'libsvm' and is compatible with package 'e1071'.
