Provides a comprehensive and automated workflow for managing multicollinearity in data frames with numeric and/or categorical variables. The package integrates five robust methods into a single function: (1) target encoding of categorical variables based on response values (Micci-Barreca, 2001 (Micci-Barreca, D. 2001 <doi:10.1145/507533.507538>); (2) automated feature prioritization to preserve key predictors during filtering; (3 and 4) pairwise correlation and VIF filtering across all variable types (numeric–numeric, numeric–categorical, and categorical–categorical); (5) adaptive correlation and VIF thresholds. Together, these methods enable a reliable multicollinearity management in most use cases while maintaining model integrity. The package also supports parallel processing and progress tracking via the packages 'future' and 'progressr', and provides seamless integration with the 'tidymodels' ecosystem through a dedicated recipe step.

These functions implement collocation-inference
    for continuous-time and discrete-time stochastic processes.
    They provide model-based smoothing, gradient-matching,
    generalized profiling and forwards prediction error methods.

Markov chain Monte Carlo based inference routines for collapsed latent position cluster models or social networks, which includes searches over the model space (number of clusters in the latent position cluster model). The label switching algorithm used is that of Nobile and Fearnside (2007) <doi:10.1007/s11222-006-9014-7> which relies on the algorithm of Carpaneto and Toth (1980) <doi:10.1145/355873.355883>.

Performs the colocalisation tests described in

Calculate the colocalization index, NSInC, in two different ways as described in the paper (Liu et al., 2019. Manuscript submitted for publication.) for multiple-species spatial data which contain the precise locations and membership of each spatial point. The two main functions are nsinc.d() and nsinc.z(). They provide the Pearson’s correlation coefficients of signal proportions in different memberships within a concerned proximity of every signal (or every base signal if single direction colocalization is considered) across all (base) signals using two different ways of normalization. The proximity sizes could be an individual value or a range of values, where the default ranges of values are different for the two functions.
