Builds, evaluates and validates a nomogram with survey data
    and right-censored outcomes. As described in Capanu (2015)
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v064.c01>, the package contains functions to create
    the nomogram, validate it using bootstrap, as well as produce the
    calibration plots.

Estimate the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under the curve (AUC) and optimal cut-off points for individual classification taking into account complex sampling designs when working with complex survey data. Methods implemented in this package are described in: A. Iparragirre, I. Barrio, I. Arostegui (2024) <doi:10.1002/sta4.635>; A. Iparragirre, I. Barrio, J. Aramendi, I. Arostegui (2022) <doi:10.2436/20.8080.02.121>; A. Iparragirre, I. Barrio (2024) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-65723-8_7>.

Provides diagnostic tests for assessing the informativeness of survey weights in regression models. Implements difference-in-coefficients tests (Hausman 1978 <doi:10.2307/1913827>; Pfeffermann 1993 <doi:10.2307/1403631>), weight-association tests (DuMouchel and Duncan 1983 <doi:10.2307/2288185>; Pfeffermann and Sverchkov 1999 <https://www.jstor.org/stable/25051118>; Pfeffermann and Sverchkov 2003 <ISBN:9780470845672>; Wu and Fuller 2005 <https://www.jstor.org/stable/27590461>), estimating equations tests (Pfeffermann and Sverchkov 2003 <ISBN:9780470845672>), and non-parametric permutation tests. Includes simulation utilities replicating Wang et al. (2023 <doi:10.1111/insr.12509>) and extensions.

Fit design-based linear and logistic elastic nets with complex survey data considering the sampling design when defining training and test sets using replicate weights. Methods implemented in this package are described in: A. Iparragirre, T. Lumley, I. Barrio, I. Arostegui (2024) <doi:10.1002/sta4.578>.

Provides inference based on the survey package for the wide range of parametric models in the 'VGAM' package.

Quickly and flexibly calculates weights for survey data, in order to correct
    for survey non-response or other sampling issues. Uses rake weighting, a common technique 
    also know as rim weighting or iterative proportional fitting.  This technique allows for weighting 
    on multiple variables, even when the interlocked distribution of the two
    variables is not known. Interacts with Thomas Lumley's 'survey' package, as described in 
    Lumley, Thomas (2011, ISBN:978-1-118-21093-2). Adds additional functionality, more adaptable syntax, and error-checking
    to the base weighting functionality in 'survey.'
