Fit latent variable linear models, estimating score distributions for groups of people, following Cohen and Jiang (1999) <doi:10.2307/2669917>. In this model, a latent distribution is conditional on students item response, item characteristics, and conditioning variables the user includes. This latent trait is then integrated out. This software is intended to fit the same models as the existing software 'AM' <https://am.air.org/>. As of version 2, also allows the user to draw plausible values.

A Bayesian clustering method for replicated time series or replicated measurements from multiple experimental conditions, e.g., time-course gene expression data.  It estimates the number of clusters directly from the data using a Dirichlet-process prior.  See Fu, A. Q., Russell, S., Bray, S. and Tavare, S. (2013) Bayesian clustering of replicated time-course gene expression data with weak signals. The Annals of Applied Statistics. 7(3) 1334-1361. <doi:10.1214/13-AOAS650>.

Provides tools to compute directly age-standardised rates 
    using the 2013 European Standard Population. Includes variance 
    estimation and 95% confidence intervals for population health 
    applications. Functions are flexible to handle any grouping variable 
    and age bands, allowing reproducible and automated analyses.

Allows the computation of clustering coefficients for directed and weighted networks by using different approaches. 
    It allows to compute clustering coefficients that are not present in 'igraph' package. 
    A description of clustering coefficients can be found in "Directed clustering in weighted networks: a new perspective", Clemente, G.P., Grassi, R. (2017),  	
    <doi:10.1016/j.chaos.2017.12.007>.

A set of functions to estimate the controlled direct effect of treatment fixing a potential mediator to a specific value. Implements the sequential g-estimation estimator described in Vansteelandt (2009) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3181b6f4c9> and Acharya, Blackwell, and Sen (2016) <doi:10.1017/S0003055416000216> and the telescope matching estimator described in Blackwell and Strezhnev (2020) <doi:10.1111/rssa.12759>.
