Spatial survival analysis has received a great deal of attention over the last 20 years
due to the important role that geographical information can play in predicting survival.
This paper provides an introduction to a set of programs for…

We discuss the R package SQUAREM for accelerating iterative algorithms which exhibit slow, monotone convergence. These include the well-known expectation-maximization
algorithm, majorize-minimize (MM), and other EM-like algorithms such as…

M-estimation, or estimating equation, methods are widely applicable for point estimation and asymptotic inference. In this paper, we present an R package that can find
roots and compute the empirical sandwich variance estimator for any set of…

Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms based on decomposition (MOEA/D) represent
a widely used class of population-based metaheuristics for the solution of multicriteria
optimization problems. We introduce the MOEADr package, which offers many of…

With the rising popularity of web surveys and the increasing use of paradata by survey
methodologists, assessing information stored in user agent strings becomes inevitable.
These data contain meaningful information about the browser, operating…
