Functions for fitting Cox proportional hazards models for grouped time-to-event data, where the shared group-specific frailties have a discrete nonparametric distribution. The methods proposed in the package is described by Gasperoni, F., Ieva, F., Paganoni, A. M., Jackson, C. H., Sharples, L. (2018) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy071>. There are also functions for simulating from these models, with a nonparametric or a parametric baseline hazard function.

Computes discrete fast Fourier transform of river discharge data and the derived metrics.
  The methods are described in J. L. Sabo, D. M. Post (2008) <doi:10.1890/06-1340.1> and J. L. Sabo, A. Ruhi, G. W. Holtgrieve, V. Elliott, M. E. Arias, P. B. Ngor, T. A. Räsänsen, S. Nam (2017) <doi:10.1126/science.aao1053>.

The discrete Laplace exponential family for use in fitting generalized linear models.

Make inference in a mixture of discrete Laplace distributions using the EM algorithm. This can e.g. be used for modelling the distribution of Y chromosomal haplotypes as described in [1, 2] (refer to the URL section).

Fit a mixture of Discrete Laplace distributions using plain numerical optimisation. This package has similar applications as the 'disclapmix' package that uses an EM algorithm.

Transform 'newswire' and earnings call transcripts as PDF obtained from 'Nexis Uni' to R data frames. Various 'newswires' and 'FairDisclosure' earnings call formats are supported. Further, users can apply several pre-defined dictionaries on the data based on Graffin et al. (2016)<doi:10.5465/amj.2013.0288> and Gamache et al. (2015)<doi:10.5465/amj.2013.0377>.

Tests whether multivariate ordinal data may stem from discretizing a multivariate normal distribution.
             The test is described by Foldnes and Grønneberg (2019) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2019.1673168>. 
             In addition, an adjusted polychoric correlation estimator is provided that takes marginal knowledge into account,
             as described by Grønneberg and Foldnes (2022) <doi:10.1037/met0000495>.
