Computationally efficient tool for performing variable selection and obtaining robust estimates, which implements robust variable selection procedure proposed by Wang, X., Jiang, Y., Wang, S., Zhang, H. (2013) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2013.766613>. Users can enjoy the near optimal, consistent, and oracle properties of the procedures.

Implements the Robust Scoring Equations estimator to fit linear
    mixed effects models robustly.
    Robustness is achieved by modification of the scoring equations
    combined with the Design Adaptive Scale approach.

Robust covariance estimation for matrix-valued data and data with Kronecker-covariance structure using the Matrix Minimum Covariance Determinant (MMCD) estimators and outlier explanation using and Shapley values.

Robust inference methods for fixed-effect and random-effects models of meta-analysis are implementable. The robust methods are developed using the density power divergence that is a robust estimating criterion developed in machine learning theory, and can effectively circumvent biases and misleading results caused by influential outliers. The density power divergence is originally introduced by Basu et al. (1998) <doi:10.1093/biomet/85.3.549>, and the meta-analysis methods are developed by Noma et al. (2022) <forthcoming>.

Calculates robust Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) and robust F-Beta Scores, as introduced by Holzmann and Klar (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2404.07661>. 
    These performance metrics are designed for imbalanced classification problems.
    Plots the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) together with the recall / 1-precision curve.

Provides robust parameter tuning and model training for predictive models applied across data sources where the data distribution varies slightly from source to source. This package implements three primary tuning methods: cross-validation-based internal tuning, external tuning, and the 'RobustTuneC' method. External tuning includes a conservative option where parameters are tuned internally on the training data and validating on an external dataset, providing a slightly pessimistic estimate. It supports Lasso, Ridge, Random Forest, Boosting, and Support Vector Machine classifiers. Currently, only binary classification is supported. The response variable must be the first column of the dataset and a factor with exactly two levels. The tuning methods are based on the paper by Nicole Ellenbach, Anne-Laure Boulesteix, Bernd Bischl, Kristian Unger, and Roman Hornung (2021) "Improved Outcome Prediction Across Data Sources Through Robust Parameter Tuning" <doi:10.1007/s00357-020-09368-z>.
