Contains a robust set of tools designed for constructing deep neural networks, which are highly adaptable with user-defined loss function and probability models. It includes several practical applications, such as the (deepAFT) model, which utilizes a deep neural network approach to enhance the accelerated failure time (AFT) model for survival data. Another example is the (deepGLM) model that applies deep neural network to the generalized linear model (glm), accommodating data types with continuous, categorical and Poisson distributions.

Provides a deep neural network model with a monotonic increasing single index function tailored for periodontal disease studies. The residuals are assumed to follow a skewed T distribution, a skewed normal distribution, or a normal distribution. More details can be found at Liu, Huang, and Bai (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2024.108012>.

Functions are provided to fit temporal lag models to dynamic
    networks. The models are build on top of exponential random graph models (ERGM) framework. There are
    functions for simulating or forecasting networks for future time points.

Flexibly convert data between long and wide format using just two
    functions: reshape_toLong() and reshape_toWide().

Estimates probabilistic phylogenetic Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and non-phylogenetic probabilistic PCA. Provides methods to implement alternative models of trait evolution including Brownian motion (BM), Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU), Early Burst (EB), and Pagel's lambda. Also provides flexible biplot functions.

A dimension reduction technique for outlier detection. DOBIN: a Distance 
    based Outlier BasIs using Neighbours, constructs a set of basis vectors for outlier 
    detection. This is not an outlier detection method; rather it is a pre-processing 
    method for outlier detection. It brings outliers to the fore-front using fewer basis 
    vectors (Kandanaarachchi, Hyndman 2020) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1807353>.
