heteromixgm (version 2.0.2)
Copula Graphical Models for Heterogeneous Mixed Data
Description
A multi-core R package that allows for the statistical modeling of multi-group multivariate mixed data using Gaussian graphical models. Combining the Gaussian copula framework with the fused graphical lasso penalty, the 'heteromixgm' package can handle a wide variety of datasets found in various sciences. The package also includes an option to perform model selection using the AIC, BIC and EBIC information criteria, a function that plots partial correlation graphs based on the selected precision matrices, as well as simulate mixed heterogeneous data for exploratory or simulation purposes and one multi-group multivariate mixed agricultural dataset pertaining to maize yields. The package implements the methodological developments found in Hermes et al. (2024) .
