Implementation of icosahedral grids in three dimensions. The spherical-triangular tessellation can be set to create grids with custom resolutions. Both the primary triangular and their inverted penta-hexagonal grids can be calculated. Additional functions are provided that allow plotting of the grids and associated data, the interaction of the grids with other raster and vector objects, and treating the grids as a graphs.

Survival analysis of interval-censored data with proportional hazards, and an explicit smooth estimate of the baseline log-hazard with P-splines.

Reproducible, programmatic retrieval of datasets from the
    Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research archive.

Provides functions to compute and plot Krippendorff's inter-coder 
    reliability coefficient alpha and bootstrapped uncertainty estimates 
    (Krippendorff 2004, ISBN:0761915443). The bootstrap routines are set up to
    make use of parallel threads where supported.

Algorithms to construct simultaneous confidence intervals for the ranks of means mu_1,...,mu_n based on an independent Gaussian sample using multiple testing techniques.

Implements a modification to the Random Survival Forests algorithm for obtaining variable importance in high dimensional datasets. The proposed algorithm is appropriate for settings in which a silent event is observed through sequentially administered, error-prone self-reports or laboratory based diagnostic tests.  The modified algorithm incorporates a formal likelihood framework that accommodates sequentially administered, error-prone self-reports or laboratory based diagnostic tests. The original Random Survival Forests algorithm is modified by the introduction of a new splitting criterion based on a likelihood ratio test statistic.

Implementation of Tyler, Critchley, Duembgen and Oja's (JRSS B, 2009,
            <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2009.00706.x>) and Oja, Sirkia and Eriksson's
            (AJS, 2006, <https://www.ajs.or.at/index.php/ajs/article/view/vol35,%20no2%263%20-%207>) method of two different
            scatter matrices to obtain an invariant coordinate system or independent
            components, depending on the underlying assumptions.
