Construction and analysis of multivalued zero-sum matrix games over the abstract space of probability distributions, which describe the losses in each scenario of defense vs. attack action. The distributions can be compiled directly from expert opinions or other empirical data (insofar available). The package implements the methods put forth in the EU project HyRiM (Hybrid Risk Management for Utility Networks), FP7 EU Project Number 608090. The method has been published in Rass, S., König, S., Schauer, S., 2016. Decisions with Uncertain Consequences-A Total Ordering on Loss-Distributions. PLoS ONE 11, e0168583. <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0168583>, and applied for advanced persistent thread modeling in Rass, S., König, S., Schauer, S., 2017. Defending Against Advanced Persistent Threats Using Game-Theory. PLoS ONE 12, e0168675. <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0168675>. A volume covering the wider range of aspects of risk management, partially based on the theory implemented in the package is the book edited by S. Rass and S. Schauer, 2018. Game Theory for Security and Risk Management: From Theory to Practice. Springer, <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-75268-6>, ISBN 978-3-319-75267-9.

We provide a stage-wise selection method using genetic algorithms, designed to efficiently identify main and two-way interactions within high-dimensional linear regression models. Additionally, it implements simulated annealing algorithm during the mutation process. The relevant paper can be found at: Ye, C.,and Yang,Y. (2019) <doi:10.1109/TIT.2019.2913417>.

Enhance package 'testthat' by allowing tests to be attached to the function/object they test. 
    This allows to keep functional and unit test code together.

Estimate parameters of the hysteretic threshold autoregressive
    (HysTAR) model, using conditional least squares.
    In addition, you can generate time series data from the HysTAR model.
    For details, see Li, Guan, Li and Yu (2015) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asv017>.

Fit, summarize and plot sinusoidal hysteretic processes using:
    two-step simple harmonic least squares, ellipse-specific non-linear least
    squares, the direct method, geometric least squares or linear least squares. See 
    Yang, F and A. Parkhurst, "Efficient Estimation of Elliptical Hysteresis with 
    Application to the Characterization of Heat Stress" <DOI:10.1007/s13253-015-0213-6>.
