In statistical modeling, there is a wide variety of regression models for categorical dependent variables (nominal or ordinal data); yet, there is no software embracing all these models together in a uniform and generalized format. Following the methodology proposed by Peyhardi, Trottier, and Guédon (2015) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asv042>, we introduce 'GLMcat', an R package to estimate generalized linear models implemented under the unified specification (r, F, Z). Where r represents the ratio of probabilities (reference, cumulative, adjacent, or sequential), F the cumulative cdf function for the linkage, and Z, the design matrix. The package accompanies the paper "GLMcat: An R Package for Generalized Linear Models for Categorical Responses" in the Journal of Statistical Software, Volume 114, Issue 9 (see <doi:10.18637/jss.v114.i09>).

Provides two functions that generate source code implementing the predict 
  function of fitted glm objects. In this version, code can be generated for either 'C' 
  or 'Java'. The idea is to provide a tool for the easy and fast deployment of glm 
  predictive models into production. The source code generated by this package implements 
  two function/methods. One of such functions implements the equivalent to 
  predict(type="response"), while the second implements predict(type="link"). Source code 
  is written to disk as a .c or .java file in the specified path. In the case of c, an .h 
  file is also generated.

Provides Generalized Inferences based on exact distributions and exact probability statements for mixed effect models, provided by such papers as Weerahandi and Yu (2020) <doi:10.1186/s40488-020-00105-w> under the widely used Compound Symmetric Covariance structure. The package returns the estimation of the coefficients in random and fixed part of the mixed models by generalized inference.

Recursive partitioning based on (generalized) linear mixed models
    (GLMMs) combining lmer()/glmer() from 'lme4' and lmtree()/glmtree() from 
    'partykit'. The fitting algorithm is described in more detail in Fokkema,
    Smits, Zeileis, Hothorn & Kelderman (2018; <DOI:10.3758/s13428-017-0971-x>).
