Performs the EM algorithm for regression models using Skew Scale Mixtures of Normal Distributions.

In order to facilitate the adjustment of the sample selection models existing in the literature, we created the 'ssmodels' package. Our package allows the adjustment of the classic Heckman model (Heckman (1976), Heckman (1979) <doi:10.2307/1912352>), and the estimation of the parameters of this model via the maximum likelihood method and two-step method, in addition to the adjustment of the Heckman-t models, introduced in the literature by Marchenko and Genton (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.656011> and the Heckman-Skew model introduced in the literature by Ogundimu and Hutton (2016) <doi:10.1111/sjos.12171>. We also implemented functions to adjust the generalized version of the Heckman model, introduced by Bastos, Barreto-Souza, and Genton (2021) <doi:10.5705/ss.202021.0068>, that allows the inclusion of covariables to the dispersion and correlation parameters and a function to adjust the Heckman-BS model introduced by Bastos and Barreto-Souza (2020) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2020.1780570> that uses the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution as a joint distribution of the selection and primary regression variables.

Estimates previously compiled state-space modeling for mouse-tracking experiments using the 'rstan' package, which provides the R interface to the Stan C++ library for Bayesian estimation.

Estimation of the Spatially Smoothed Minimum Regularized Determinant (ssMRCD) estimator and its usage in an ssMRCD-based outlier detection method as described in Puchhammer and Filzmoser (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.05371>. Included are also complementary visualization and parameter tuning tools.

Package provides a set of tools for robust estimation and inference for models with sample selectivity and endogenous treatment model. For details, see Zhelonkin and Ronchetti (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v099.i04>.

It provides the density and random number generator for the Scale-Shape Mixtures of Skew-Normal Distributions proposed by Jamalizadeh and Lin (2016) <doi:10.1007/s00180-016-0691-1>.
