Contains a function to randomize subjects, patients in groups of 
   sequences (treatment sequences).
   If a blocksize is given, the randomization will be done within blocks.
   The randomization may be controlled by a Wald-Wolfowitz runs test.
   Functions to obtain the p-value of that test are included.
   The package is mainly intended for randomization of bioequivalence studies
   but may be used also for other clinical crossover studies.
   Contains two helper functions sequences() and williams() to get the sequences 
   of commonly used designs in BE studies.

This tool enables the user to choose a randomization procedure
    based on sound scientific criteria. It comprises the generation of
    randomization sequences as well the assessment of randomization procedures
    based on carefully selected criteria. Furthermore, 'randomizeR' provides a
    function for the comparison of randomization procedures.

Generates random assignments for common experimental designs and 
	    random samples for common sampling designs.

Fits standard and random effects latent class models. The single level random effects model is described in Qu et al <doi:10.2307/2533043> and the two level random effects model in Beath and Heller <doi:10.1177/1471082X0800900302>. Examples are given for their use in diagnostic testing.

A novel ensemble method employing Support Vector Machines (SVMs) as base learners. This powerful ensemble model is designed for both classification (Ara A., et. al, 2021) <doi:10.6339/21-JDS1014>, and regression (Ara A., et. al, 2021) <doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2022.117107> problems, offering versatility and robust performance across different datasets and compared with other consolidated methods as Random Forests (Maia M, et. al, 2021) <doi:10.6339/21-JDS1025>.

Function for generating random gender and ethnicity correct first and/or last names. Names are chosen proportionally based upon their probability of appearing in a large scale data base of real names.

The Function performs a parallel analysis using simulated polychoric correlation matrices. The nth-percentile of the eigenvalues distribution obtained from both the randomly generated and the real data polychoric correlation matrices is returned. A plot comparing the two types of eigenvalues (real and simulated) will help determine the number of real eigenvalues that outperform random data. The function is based on the idea that if real data are non-normal and the polychoric correlation matrix is needed to perform a Factor Analysis, then the Parallel Analysis method used to choose a non-random number of factors should also be based on randomly generated polychoric correlation matrices and not on Pearson correlation matrices. Random data sets are simulated assuming or a uniform or a multinomial distribution or via the bootstrap method of resampling (i.e., random permutations of cases). Also Multigroup Parallel analysis is made available for random (uniform and multinomial distribution and with or without difficulty factor) and bootstrap methods. An option to choose between default or full output is also available as well as a parameter to print Fit Statistics (Chi-squared, TLI, RMSEA, RMR and BIC) for the factor solutions indicated by the Parallel Analysis. Also weighted correlation matrices may be considered for PA.
