Projection Pursuit (PP) algorithm for dimension reduction based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) for density estimation using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to maximise an approximated negentropy index. For more details see Scrucca and Serafini (2019) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2019.1598871>.

The Poverty Probability Index (PPI) is a poverty measurement tool 
    for organizations and businesses with a mission to serve the poor. The PPI 
    is statistically-sound, yet simple to use: the answers to 10 questions about 
    a household's characteristics and asset ownership are scored to compute the 
    likelihood that the household is living below the poverty line - or above by 
    only a narrow margin. This package contains country-specific lookup data
    tables used as reference to determine the poverty likelihood of a household
    based on their score from the country-specific PPI questionnaire. These
    lookup tables have been extracted from documentation of the PPI found at 
    <https://www.povertyindex.org> and managed by Innovations for Poverty Action 
    <https://poverty-action.org/>.

Permutation based Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for paired samples. The test was proposed by Wang W.S., Amsler C. and Schmidt, P. (2025) <doi:10.1007/s00181-025-02779-0>.

Generates chronological and ordered p-plots for data vectors or vectors of p-values. The p-plot visualizes the evolution of the p-value of a significance test across the sampled data. It allows for assessing the consistency of the observed effects, for detecting the presence of potential moderator variables, and for estimating the influence of outlier values on the observed results. For non-significant findings, it can diagnose patterns indicative of underpowered study designs. The p-plot can thus either back the binary accept-vs-reject decision of common null-hypothesis significance tests, or it can qualify this decision and stimulate additional empirical work to arrive at more robust and replicable statistical inferences.

Linear and nonlinear regression
        methods based on Partial Least Squares and Penalization
        Techniques. Model parameters are selected via cross-validation,
        and confidence intervals ans tests for the regression
        coefficients can be conducted via jackknifing. 
        The method is described and applied to simulated and experimental 
        data in Kraemer et al. (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2008.06.009>.
