Estimation of unknown historical or archaeological dates subject to relationships with other relative dates and absolute constraints, derived as marginal densities from the full joint conditional, using a two-stage Gibbs sampler with consistent batch means to assess convergence. Features reporting on Monte Carlo standard errors, as well as tools for rule-based estimation of dates of production and use of artifact types, aligning and checking relative sequences, and evaluating the impact of the omission of relative/absolute events upon one another.

Expectile regression is a nice tool for estimating the conditional expectiles of a response variable given a set of covariates. This package implements a regression tree based gradient boosting estimator for nonparametric multiple expectile regression, proposed by Yang, Y., Qian, W. and Zou, H. (2018) <doi:10.1080/00949655.2013.876024>. The code is based on the 'gbm' package originally developed by Greg Ridgeway.

Provides a methodology simple and trustworthy for the analysis of extreme values and multiple threshold tests for a generalized Pareto distribution, together
    with an automatic threshold selection algorithm. See del Castillo, J, Daoudi, J and Lockhart, R (2014) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12037>.

Build entity relationship diagrams (ERD) to specify the nature of the relationship between tables in a database.

Several functions, datasets, and sample codes related to empirical research in economics are included. They cover the marginal effects for binary or ordered choice models, static and dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) models, and a typical event analysis in finance.

An integrated set of tools to analyze and simulate networks based on exponential-family random graph models (ERGMs). 'ergm' is a part of the Statnet suite of packages for network analysis. See Hunter, Handcock, Butts, Goodreau, and Morris (2008) <doi:10.18637/jss.v024.i03> and Krivitsky, Hunter, Morris, and Klumb (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i06>.

A set of extensions for the 'ergm' package to fit weighted networks whose edge weights are counts. See Krivitsky (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-EJS696> and Krivitsky, Hunter, Morris, and Klumb (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i06>.
