Extremely fast and memory efficient computation of the DER (or PaF) income polarization index as proposed by Duclos J. Y., Esteban, J. and Ray D. (2004). "Polarization: concepts, measurement, estimation". Econometrica, 72(6): 1737--1772. <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00552.x>. The index may be computed for a single or for a range of values of the alpha-parameter and bootstrapping is also available.

Modeling the zero coupon yield curve using the dynamic De Rezende and
             Ferreira (2011) <doi:10.1002/for.1256> five factor model with variable
             or fixed decaying parameters. For explanatory purposes, the package also
             includes various short datasets of interest rates for the BRICS countries.

R-based solution for symbolic differentiation. It admits
    user-defined function as well as function substitution
    in arguments of functions to be differentiated. Some symbolic
    simplification is part of the work.

A set of pricing and expository functions that should
    be useful in teaching a course on financial derivatives.

Discrete event simulation (DES) involves modeling of systems
   having discrete, i.e. abrupt, state changes. For instance, when a job
   arrives to a queue, the queue length abruptly increases by 1.  This
   package is an R implementation of the event-oriented approach to DES;
   see the tutorial in Matloff (2008) 
   <http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/156/PLN/DESimIntro.pdf>.

Provides a comprehensive framework for early epidemic detection through school absenteeism surveillance. The package offers three core functionalities: (1) simulation of population structures, epidemic spread, and resulting school absenteeism patterns; (2) implementation of surveillance models that generate alerts for impending epidemics based on absenteeism data and (3) evaluation of alert timeliness and accuracy through alert time quality metrics to optimize model parameters. These tools enable public health officials and researchers to develop and assess early warning systems before implementation. Methods are based on research published in Vanderkruk et al. (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12889-023-15747-z> and Ward et al. (2019) <doi:10.1186/s12889-019-7521-7>.
