It is a package that provides alternative approach for finding optimum parameters of ridge regression. This package focuses on finding the ridge parameter value k which makes the variance inflation factors closest to 1, while keeping them above 1 as addressed by Michael Kutner, Christopher Nachtsheim, John Neter, William Li (2004, ISBN:978-0073108742). Moreover, the package offers end-to-end functionality to find optimum k value and presents the detailed ridge regression results. Finally it shows three sets of graphs consisting k versus variance inflation factors, regression coefficients and standard errors of them.

An interface to iDigBio's search API that allows downloading
  specimen records. Searches are returned as a data.frame. Other functions
  such as the metadata end points return lists of information. iDigBio is a US
  project focused on digitizing and serving museum specimen collections on the
  web. See <https://www.idigbio.org> for information on iDigBio.

Functions to compute ridit scores of vectors, compute mean ridits
  and their standard errors for vectors compared to a reference vector,
  as described in Fleiss (1981, ISBN:0-471-06428-9), and compute
  means/SEs for multiple groups in matrices. Data can be either
  counts or proportions. Emphasis is on ridit analysis of ordered categorical
  data such as Likert items and pain-rating scales.

We provide a variety of algorithms for manifold-valued data, including Fréchet summaries, hypothesis testing, clustering, visualization, and other learning tasks. See Bhattacharya and Bhattacharya (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139094764> for general exposition to statistics on manifolds.

We provide a number of algorithms to estimate fundamental statistics including Fréchet mean and geometric median for manifold-valued data. Also, C++ header files are contained that implement elementary operations on manifolds such as Sphere, Grassmann, and others. See Bhattacharya and Bhattacharya (2012) <doi:10.1017/CBO9781139094764> if you are interested in statistics on manifolds, and Absil et al (2007, ISBN:9780691132983) on computational aspects of optimization on matrix manifolds.
