Implements a partial linear semiparametric mixed-effects model (PLSMM) featuring a random intercept and applies a lasso penalty to both the fixed effects and the coefficients associated with the nonlinear function. 
    The model also accommodates interactions between the nonlinear function and a grouping variable, allowing for the capture of group-specific nonlinearities. Nonlinear functions are modeled using a set of bases functions. Estimation is conducted using a penalized Expectation-Maximization algorithm, and the package offers flexibility in choosing between various information criteria for model selection. 
    Post-selection inference is carried out using a debiasing method, while inference on the nonlinear functions employs a bootstrap approach.

Bindings for additional regression models for use with the
    'parsnip' package, including ordinary and spare partial least squares
    models for regression and classification (Rohart et al (2017)
    <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005752>).

Fit a model with potentially many linear and smooth predictors. Interaction
    effects can also be quantified. Variable selection is done using penalisation. For l1-type penalties
    we use iterative steps alternating between using linear predictors (lasso) and smooth predictors
    (generalised additive model).

Provides Partial least squares Regression for (weighted) beta regression models (Bertrand 2013,  <https://ojs-test.apps.ocp.math.cnrs.fr/index.php/J-SFdS/article/view/215>) and k-fold cross-validation of such models using various criteria. It allows for missing data in the explanatory variables. Bootstrap confidence intervals constructions are also available.
