Tests for block-diagonal structure in symmetric matrices (e.g. correlation matrices) under the null hypothesis of exchangeable off-diagonal elements. As described in Segal et al. (2019), these tests can be useful for construct validation either by themselves or as a complement to confirmatory factor analysis. Monte Carlo methods are used to approximate the permutation p-value with Hubert's Gamma (Hubert, 1976) and a t-statistic. This package also implements the chi-squared statistic described by Steiger (1980). Please see Segal, et al. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11336-018-9647-4> for more information.

Functions to perform fast statistical hypothesis tests on rows/columns of matrices.
  The main goals are: 1) speed via vectorization, 2) output that is detailed and easy to use,
  3) compatibility with tests implemented in R (like those available in the 'stats' package).

An easy-to-use workflow that provides tools to create, update and fill literature matrices commonly used in research, specifically epidemiology and health sciences research. The project is born out of need as an easy–to–use tool for my research methods classes.

An implementation of matrix mathematics wherein operations are performed "by name."

Provides functions to collapse a tidy data frame into matrices in a data frame
    and expand a data frame of matrices into a tidy data frame.

Performs matrix skew-t parameter estimation, Gallaugher and McNicholas (2017)  <doi: 10.1002/sta4.143>.

Provides matrix Gaussian mixture models, matrix transformation mixture models and their model-based clustering results. The parsimonious models of the mean matrices and variance covariance matrices are implemented with a total of 196 variations. For more information, please check: Xuwen Zhu, Shuchismita Sarkar, and Volodymyr Melnykov (2021), "MatTransMix: an R package for matrix model-based clustering and parsimonious mixture modeling",  <doi:10.1007/s00357-021-09401-9>.

Identifying maturation stages across young athletes is paramount for talent identification. Furthermore, the concept of biobanding, or grouping of athletes based on their biological development, instead of their chronological age, has been widely researched. The goal of this package is to help professionals working in the field of strength & conditioning and talent ID obtain common maturation metrics and as well as to quickly visualize this information via several plotting options. For the methods behind the computed maturation metrics implemented in this package refer to Khamis, H. J., & Roche, A. F. (1994) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7936860/>, Mirwald, R.L et al., (2002) <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11932580/> and Cumming, Sean P. et al., (2017) <doi:10.1519/SSC.0000000000000281>.
