Contains functions to estimate a penalized regression model using 3CoSE algorithm, see Weber, Striaukas, Schumacher Binder (2018) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3211163>.

Estimate the p-values for predictors x against target variable y in lasso regression, using the regularization strength when each predictor enters the active set of regularization path for the first time as the statistic. This is based on the assumption that predictors (of the same variance) that (first) become active earlier tend to be more significant. Three null distributions are supported: normal and spherical, which are computed separately for each predictor and analytically under approximation, which aims at efficiency and accuracy for small p-values.

Estimate the sufficient dimension reduction space using sparsed sliced inverse regression via Lasso (Lasso-SIR) introduced in Lin, Zhao, and Liu (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1520115>. The Lasso-SIR is consistent and achieve the optimal convergence rate under certain sparsity conditions for the multiple index models.

Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased
  by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to
  calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is
  bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal
  shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North
  oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record
  longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly
  East-West oriented straight line).

Various opportunities to evaluate the effects of including one or more control variable(s) in structural equation models onto model-implied variances, covariances, and parameter estimates. The derivation of the methodology employed in this package can be obtained from Blötner (2023) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/dy79z>.

A graph
  proposed by Rosenbaum is useful
  for checking some properties of various
  sorts of latent scale, this program generates commands
  to obtain the graph using 'dot' from 'graphviz'.
