Implements the methodology of "Cannings, T. I. and Samworth, R. J. (2017) Random-projection ensemble classification, J. Roy. Statist. Soc., Ser. B. (with discussion), 79, 959--1035". The random projection ensemble classifier is a general method for classification of high-dimensional data, based on careful combination of the results of applying an arbitrary base classifier to random projections of the feature vectors into a lower-dimensional space. The random projections are divided into non-overlapping blocks, and within each block the projection yielding the smallest estimate of the test error is selected. The random projection ensemble classifier then aggregates the results of applying the base classifier on the selected projections, with a data-driven voting threshold to determine the final assignment.

Estimates of standard errors of popular risk and performance 
             measures for asset or portfolio returns using methods as described in 
             Chen and Martin (2021) <doi:10.21314/JOR.2020.446>.

Implements diversification analyses using the phylogenetic birth-death-shift model. It leverages belief propagation techniques to calculate branch-specific diversification rates, see Kopperud & Hoehna (2025) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syaf041>.

This reduced piecewise exponential survival software implements the likelihood ratio test and backward elimination procedure in Han, Schell, and Kim (2012 <doi:10.1080/19466315.2012.698945>, 2014 <doi:10.1002/sim.5915>), and Han et al. (2016 <doi:10.1111/biom.12590>). Inputs to the program can be either times when events/censoring occur or the vectors of total time on test and the number of events. Outputs of the programs are times and the corresponding p-values in the backward elimination. Details about the model and implementation are given in Han et al. 2014. This program can run in R version 3.2.2 and above.

Factor out logic
    and math common to Item Factor Analysis fitting, diagnostics, and
    analysis. It is envisioned as core support code suitable for more
    specialized IRT packages to build upon. Complete access to optimized C
    functions are made available with R_RegisterCCallable().
    This software is described in Pritikin & Falk (2020) <doi:10.1177/0146621620929431>.
