It is a framework to fit semiparametric regression estimators for the total parameter of a finite population when the interest variable is asymmetric distributed.

Functions to perform split robust least angle regression. The approach first uses the
             least angle regression algorithm to split the variables into the models of an ensemble
             and robust estimates of the correlation between predictors. An elastic net estimator is 
             then applied to the selected predictors in each model using the imputed data from the
             detect deviating cell (DDC) method.

Provides functionality for structural equation modeling for
    the social relations model (Kenny & La Voie, 1984;
    <doi:10.1016/S0065-2601(08)60144-6>; Warner, Kenny, & Soto, 1979,
    <doi:10.1037/0022-3514.37.10.1742>). Maximum likelihood
    estimation (Gill & Swartz, 2001, <doi:10.2307/3316080>;
    Nestler, 2018, <doi:10.3102/1076998617741106>) and
    least squares estimation is supported (Bond & Malloy, 2018,
    <doi:10.1016/B978-0-12-811967-9.00014-X>).

Provides most of the data files used in the textbook "Scientific Research and Methodology" by Dunn (2025, ISBN: 9781032496726).

Select the most suitable shape to describe the relationship between the exposure and the outcome among increasing, decreasing, convex, and concave shapes (Yin et al. (2021) <DOI:10.1007/s13571-020-00246-7>); estimate the direct and indirect effects with prior knowledge on the relationship between the mediator and the outcome with binary exposure (Yin et al. (2024) <DOI:10.1007/s13571-024-00336-w>); estimate the direct and indirect effects using linear regression-based approach (VanderWeele (2015, ISBN:9780199325870)).
