Discriminant Non-Negative Matrix Factorization aims to extend the Non-negative Matrix Factorization algorithm in order to extract features that enforce not only the spatial locality, but also the separability between classes in a discriminant manner. It refers to three article, Zafeiriou, Stefanos, et al. "Exploiting discriminant information in nonnegative matrix factorization with application to frontal face verification." Neural Networks, IEEE Transactions on 17.3 (2006): 683-695. Kim, Bo-Kyeong, and Soo-Young Lee. "Spectral Feature Extraction Using dNMF for Emotion Recognition in Vowel Sounds." Neural Information Processing. Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013. and Lee, Soo-Young, Hyun-Ah Song, and Shun-ichi Amari. "A new discriminant NMF algorithm and its application to the extraction of subtle emotional differences in speech." Cognitive neurodynamics 6.6 (2012): 525-535.

Contains a robust set of tools designed for constructing deep neural networks, which are highly adaptable with user-defined loss function and probability models. It includes several practical applications, such as the (deepAFT) model, which utilizes a deep neural network approach to enhance the accelerated failure time (AFT) model for survival data. Another example is the (deepGLM) model that applies deep neural network to the generalized linear model (glm), accommodating data types with continuous, categorical and Poisson distributions.

Provides a deep neural network model with a monotonic increasing single index function tailored for periodontal disease studies. The residuals are assumed to follow a skewed T distribution, a skewed normal distribution, or a normal distribution. More details can be found at Liu, Huang, and Bai (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2024.108012>.

Functions are provided to fit temporal lag models to dynamic
    networks. The models are build on top of exponential random graph models (ERGM) framework. There are
    functions for simulating or forecasting networks for future time points.
