Provides Partial least squares Regression and various regular, sparse or kernel, techniques for fitting Cox models in high dimensional settings <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu660>, Bastien, P., Bertrand, F., Meyer N., Maumy-Bertrand, M. (2015), Deviance residuals-based sparse PLS and sparse kernel PLS regression for censored data, Bioinformatics, 31(3):397-404. Cross validation criteria were studied in <arXiv:1810.02962>, Bertrand, F., Bastien, Ph. and Maumy-Bertrand, M. (2018), Cross validating extensions of kernel, sparse or regular partial least squares regression models to censored data.

Provides (weighted) Partial least squares Regression for generalized linear models and repeated k-fold cross-validation of such models using various criteria <arXiv:1810.01005>. It allows for missing data in the explanatory variables. Bootstrap confidence intervals constructions are also available.

Interfaces and methods for variable selection in Partial Least
    Squares. The methods include filter methods, wrapper methods and embedded
    methods. Both regression and classification is supported.

Calculates and depicts probabilistic long-term effects
    in binary models with temporal dependence variables. The package performs
    two tasks. First, it calculates the change in the probability of the event
    occurring given a change in a theoretical variable. Second, it calculates
    the rolling difference in the future probability of the event for two
    scenarios: one where the event occurred at a given time and one where the
    event does not occur. The package is consistent with the recent movement to
    depict meaningful and easy-to-interpret quantities of interest with the
    requisite measures of uncertainty. It is the first to make it easy for
    researchers to interpret short- and long-term effects of explanatory
    variables in binary autoregressive models, which can have important
    implications for the correct interpretation of these models.

Converts English phrases to singular or plural form based on
    the length of an associated vector.  Contains helper functions to
    create natural language lists from vectors and to include the length
    of a vector in natural language.
