These are two-sample tests for categorical data utilizing similarity information among the categories.  They are useful when there is underlying structure on the categories.

'GPU'/CPU Benchmarking on Debian-package based systems
 This package benchmarks performance of a few standard linear algebra
 operations (such as a matrix product and QR, SVD and LU decompositions)
 across a number of different 'BLAS' libraries as well as a 'GPU' implementation.
 To do so, it takes advantage of the ability to 'plug and play' different
 'BLAS' implementations easily on a Debian and/or Ubuntu system.  The current
 version supports
  - 'Reference BLAS' ('refblas') which are un-accelerated as a baseline
  - Atlas which are tuned but typically configure single-threaded
  - Atlas39 which are tuned and configured for multi-threaded mode
  - 'Goto Blas' which are accelerated and multi-threaded
  - 'Intel MKL' which is a commercial accelerated and multithreaded version.
 As for 'GPU' computing, we use the CRAN package
  - 'gputools'
 For 'Goto Blas', the 'gotoblas2-helper' script from the ISM in Tokyo can be
 used. For 'Intel MKL' we use the Revolution R packages from Ubuntu 9.10.

Provides methods for model selection, estimation, inference, and simulation for the 
    multilevel factor model, based on the principal component estimation and generalised 
    canonical correlation approach. Details can be found in "Generalised Canonical Correlation 
    Estimation of the Multilevel Factor Model." Lin and Shin (2025) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4295429>.

Contains the Global Charcoal database data. Data include charcoal
    series (age, depth, charcoal quantity, associated units and methods) and
    information on sedimentary sites (localisation, depositional environment, biome,
    etc.) as well as publications informations. Since 4.0.0 the GCD mirrors the online SQL database at <http://paleofire.org>.

Implements a generalized coordinate descent (GCD) algorithm
    for computing the solution paths of the hybrid Huberized support vector
    machine (HHSVM) and its generalizations. Supported models include the
    (adaptive) LASSO and elastic net penalized least squares, logistic
    regression, HHSVM, squared hinge loss SVM and expectile regression.
