Extends invariant causal prediction (Peters et al., 2016, 
    <doi:10.1111/rssb.12167>) to generalized linear and transformation models 
    (Hothorn et al., 2018, <doi:10.1111/sjos.12291>).
    The methodology is described in Kook et al. (2023,
    <doi:10.1080/01621459.2024.2395588>).

Set of sequence analysis tools for manipulating, describing and rendering categorical sequences, and more generally mining sequence data in the field of social sciences. Although this sequence analysis package is primarily intended for state or event sequences that describe time use or life courses such as family formation histories or professional careers, its features also apply to many other kinds of categorical sequence data. It accepts many different sequence representations as input and provides tools for converting sequences from one format to another. It offers several functions for describing and rendering sequences, for computing distances between sequences with different metrics (among which optimal matching), original dissimilarity-based analysis tools, and functions for extracting the most frequent event subsequences and identifying the most discriminating ones among them. A user's guide can be found on the TraMineR web page.

Collection of ancillary functions and utilities to be used in conjunction with the 'TraMineR' package for sequence data exploration. Includes, among others, specific functions such as state survival plots, position-wise group-typical states, dynamic sequence indicators, and dissimilarities between event sequences. Also includes contributions by non-members of the TraMineR team such as methods for polyadic data and for the comparison of groups of sequences.

Likelihood-based estimation of mixed-effects transformation models
    using the Template Model Builder ('TMB', Kristensen et al., 2016)
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i05>. The technical details of transformation models
    are given in Hothorn et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12291>. Likelihood
    contributions of exact, randomly censored (left, right, interval) and
    truncated observations are supported. The random effects are assumed to be
    normally distributed on the scale of the transformation function, the
    marginal likelihood is evaluated using the Laplace approximation, and the
    gradients are calculated with automatic differentiation (Tamasi & Hothorn,
    2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-075>. Penalized smooth shift terms can be
    defined using the 'mgcv' notation. Additive mixed-effects transformation
    models are described in Tamasi (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v114.i11>.
