The number of countries with multiple Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) value sets is growing, and this trend is expected to continue. 
    Each instrument and value set characterizes and values health differently. Identical health states can yield different utility values when valued 
    using different value sets. The 'valueSetCompare' package facilitates comparisons of HRQoL value sets, enabling both theoretical and empirical comparisons.
    For empirical comparisons, it employs a novel simulation-based method by Jiang et al. (2022) <doi:10.1186/s12955-022-02031-8>, allowing users to investigate
    the responsiveness of HRQoL instruments across the entire health spectrum using cross-sectional data with external health anchors.

Contains logic for cell-specific gene set scoring of single cell RNA sequencing data.

Implementation of a Monte Carlo simulation engine for valuing synthetic portfolios of 
    variable annuities, which reflect realistic features of common annuity contracts in practice. 
    It aims to facilitate the development and dissemination of research related to the efficient 
    valuation of a portfolio of large variable annuities. The main valuation methodology was 
    proposed by Gan (2017) <doi:10.1515/demo-2017-0021>.

Vampirize the response biases from a dataset! Performs 
    factor analysis controlling the effects of social desirability
    and acquiescence using the method described in Ferrando, 
    Lorenzo-Seva & Chico (2009) <doi:10.1080/10705510902751374>.

Wrapper around the 'City of Vancouver' Open Data API <https://opendata.vancouver.ca/api/v2/console> to simplify and standardize access to 'City of Vancouver' open data. 
  Functionality to list the data catalogue and access data and geographic records.

Collection of functions to evaluate presence-absence models. It 
    comprises functions to adjust discrimination statistics for the 
    representativeness effect through case-weighting, along with functions for 
    visualizing the outcomes. Originally outlined in: 
    Jiménez-Valverde (2022) The uniform AUC: dealing with the 
    representativeness effect in presence-absence models. Methods Ecol. Evol, 
    13, 1224-1236.
