The reliability of assessment tools is a crucial aspect of monitoring student performance in various educational settings. It ensures that the assessment outcomes accurately reflect a student's true level of performance. However, when assessments are combined, determining composite reliability can be challenging, especially for naturalistic and unbalanced datasets in nested design as is often the case for Workplace-Based Assessments. This package is designed to estimate composite reliability in nested designs using multivariate generalizability theory and enhance the analysis of assessment data. The package allows for the inclusion of weight per assessment type and produces extensive G- and D-study results with graphical interpretations, and options to find the set of weights that maximizes the composite reliability or minimizes the standard error of measurement (SEM).

Cluster analysis with compositional data using the alpha--transformation. Relevant papers include: Tsagris M. and Kontemeniotis N. (2025), <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2509.05945>. Tsagris M.T., Preston S. and Wood A.T.A. (2011), <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1106.1451>. Garcia-Escudero Luis A., Gordaliza Alfonso, Matran Carlos, Mayo-Iscar Agustin. (2008), <doi:10.1214/07-AOS515>.

High dimensional discriminant analysis  with compositional data is performed. The compositional data are first transformed using the alpha-transformation of Tsagris M., Preston S. and Wood A.T.A. (2011) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1106.1451>, and then the High Dimensional Discriminant Analysis (HDDA) algorithm of Bouveyron C. Girard S. and Schmid C. (2007) <doi:10.1080/03610920701271095> is applied.

Machine learning algorithms for predictor variables that are compositional data and the response variable is either continuous or categorical. Specifically, the Boruta variable selection algorithm, random forest, support vector machines and projection pursuit regression are included.
