Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) is an adaptation of factor
  analysis developed by Douglas Biber (1992) <doi:10.1007/BF00136979>. Its most
  common use is to describe language as it varies by genre, register, and use.
  This package contains functions for carrying out the calculations needed to
  describe and plot MDA results: dimension scores, dimension means, and factor
  loadings.

Learning a mixed directed acyclic graph based on both continuous and categorical data.

Computes martingale difference correlation (MDC), martingale difference divergence, and their partial extensions to assess conditional mean dependence. The methods are based on Shao and Zhang (2014) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2014.887012>. Additionally, introduces a novel hypothesis test for evaluating covariate effects on the cure rate in mixture cure models, using MDC-based statistics. The methodology is described in Monroy-Castillo et al. (2025, manuscript submitted).

Methods for detecting signals related to (adverse event, medical
    product e.g. drugs, vaccines) pairs, a data generation function for 
    simulating pharmacovigilance datasets, and various utility functions.

Lightweight maps of mammals of the world. These maps are a 
    comprehensive collection of maps aligned with the Mammal Diversity Database
    taxonomy of the American Society of Mammalogists. They are generated at low
    resolution for easy access, consultation and manipulation in shapefile
    format. The package connects to a binary backup hosted in the Digital Ocean
    cloud service and allows individual or batch download of any mammal species
    in the mdd taxonomy by providing the scientific species name.
