Tools to create an interactive web-based visualization of a
    topic model that has been fit to a corpus of text data using
    Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). Given the estimated parameters of
    the topic model, it computes various summary statistics as input to
    an interactive visualization built with D3.js that is accessed via
    a browser. The goal is to help users interpret the topics in their
    LDA topic model.

Flexible procedures to compute local density-based outlier scores for ranking outliers.
  Both exact and approximate nearest neighbor search can be implemented, while also accommodating
  multiple neighborhood sizes and four different local density-based methods. It allows for
  referencing a random subsample of the input data or a user specified reference data set
  to compute outlier scores against, so both unsupervised and semi-supervised outlier
  detection can be implemented.

Computations related to group sequential boundaries.
    Includes calculation of bounds using the Lan-DeMets
    alpha spending function approach. Based on FORTRAN
        program ld98 implemented by Reboussin, et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/s0197-2456(00)00057-x>.

Four measures of linkage disequilibrium are provided: the usual r^2
        measure, the r^2_S measure (r^2 corrected by the structure
        sample), the r^2_V (r^2 corrected by the relatedness of
        genotyped individuals), the r^2_VS measure (r^2 corrected by
        both the relatedness of genotyped individuals and the structure
        of the sample).

Implementation of the drift-diffusion mixed model for category learning as described in Paulon et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1801448>.

Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on symmetric lambda distribution
    framework is implemented for the study of return time-series in the financial
    market. Major features in the S&P500 index, such as regime identification,
    volatility clustering, and anti-correlation between return and volatility,
    can be extracted from HMM cleanly. Univariate symmetric lambda distribution
    is essentially a location-scale family of exponential power distribution.
    Such distribution is suitable for describing highly leptokurtic time series
    obtained from the financial market. It provides a theoretically solid foundation
    to explore such data where the normal distribution is not adequate. The HMM
    implementation follows closely the book: "Hidden Markov Models for Time Series",
    by Zucchini, MacDonald, Langrock (2016).
