Probability functions and other utilities for the generalized Hermite distribution.

Facilitates estimation of full univariate and bivariate 
  probability density functions and cumulative distribution functions along with
  full quantile functions (univariate) and nonparametric correlation 
  (bivariate) using Hermite series based estimators. These estimators are 
  particularly useful in the sequential setting (both stationary and 
  non-stationary) and one-pass batch estimation setting for large data sets.

An implementation of the sandwich smoother proposed in Fast Bivariate Penalized Splines by Xiao et al. (2012) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12007>.    A hero is a specific type of sandwich.  Dictionary.com (2018) <https://www.dictionary.com> describes a hero as: a large sandwich, usually consisting of a small loaf of bread or long roll cut in half lengthwise and containing a variety of ingredients, as meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Also implements the spatio-temporal sandwich smoother of French and Kokoszka (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.spasta.2020.100413>.

A modular and computationally efficient R package for  
  parameterizing, simulating, and analyzing health economic simulation 
  models. The package supports cohort discrete time state transition models 
  (Briggs et al. 1998) <doi:10.2165/00019053-199813040-00003>,
  N-state partitioned survival models (Glasziou et al. 1990)
  <doi:10.1002/sim.4780091106>, and individual-level continuous 
  time state transition models (Siebert et al. 2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.06.014>,
  encompassing both Markov (time-homogeneous and time-inhomogeneous) and 
  semi-Markov processes. Decision uncertainty from a cost-effectiveness analysis is 
  quantified with standard graphical and tabular summaries of a probabilistic 
  sensitivity analysis (Claxton et al. 2005, Barton et al. 2008) <doi:10.1002/hec.985>, 
  <doi:10.1111/j.1524-4733.2008.00358.x>. Use of C++ and data.table
  make individual-patient simulation, probabilistic sensitivity analysis, 
  and incorporation of patient heterogeneity fast.
