Functions to assess the calibration of logistic regression models with the GiViTI (Gruppo Italiano per la Valutazione degli interventi in Terapia Intensiva, Italian Group for the Evaluation of the Interventions in Intensive Care Units - see <http://www.giviti.marionegri.it/>) approach. The approach consists in a graphical tool, namely the GiViTI calibration belt, and in the associated statistical test. These tools can be used both to evaluate the internal calibration (i.e. the goodness of fit) and to assess the validity of an externally developed model.

Analyzes joint attribute data (e.g., species abundance) that are combinations of continuous and discrete data with Gibbs sampling.  Full model and computation details are described in Clark et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/ecm.1241>.

An update to the Joint Location-Scale (JLS) testing framework that identifies associated SNPs, gene-sets and pathways with main and/or interaction effects on quantitative traits (Soave et al., 2015; <doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2015.05.015>). The JLS method simultaneously tests the null hypothesis of equal mean and equal variance across genotypes, by aggregating association evidence from the individual location/mean-only and scale/variance-only tests using Fisher's method. The generalized joint location-scale (gJLS) framework has been developed to deal specifically with sample correlation and group uncertainty (Soave and Sun, 2017; <doi:10.1111/biom.12651>). The current release: gJLS2, include additional functionalities that enable analyses of X-chromosome genotype data through novel methods for location (Chen et al., 2021; <doi:10.1002/gepi.22422>) and scale (Deng et al., 2019; <doi:10.1002/gepi.22247>).

Routines for fitting various joint (and univariate) regression models, with several types of covariate effects, in the presence of equations' errors association.

Data sets used in the book Marra and Radice (2025, ISBN:9781032973111) "Copula Additive Distributional Regression Using R", for illustrating the fitting of various joint (and univariate) regression models, with several types of covariate effects, in the presence of equations' errors association.
