A continuous version of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve to assess both classification and continuity performances of biomarkers, diagnostic tests, or risk prediction models.

A new framework of variable selection, which instead of generating artificial covariates such as permutation importance and knockoffs, creates release rules to examine the affect on the response for each covariate where the conditional distribution of the response variable can be arbitrary and unknown.

In order to make it easy to use variance reduction algorithms for any simulation, this framework can help you.
    We propose user friendly and easy to extend framework. Antithetic Variates, Inner Control Variates,
    Outer Control Variates and Importance Sampling algorithms are available in the framework. User can
    write its own simulation function and use the Variance Reduction techniques in this package to
    obtain more efficient simulations. An implementation of Asian Option simulation is already 
    available within the package. See Kemal Dinçer Dingeç & Wolfgang Hörmann (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2012.03.046>.

Methods for fitting semi-parametric mean and variance models, with normal or censored data. Extended to allow a regression in the location, scale and shape parameters, and further for multiple regression in each.

Estimation, lag selection, diagnostic testing, forecasting, causality analysis, forecast error variance decomposition and impulse response functions of VAR models and estimation of SVAR and SVEC models.
