The `scorecard` package makes the development of credit risk scorecard 
  easier and efficient by providing functions for some common tasks, 
  such as data partition, variable selection, woe binning, scorecard scaling,
  performance evaluation and report generation. These functions can also used
  in the development of machine learning models.

Provides infrastructure functionalities such as missing value treatment, information value calculation, GINI calculation etc. which are used for developing a traditional credit scorecard as well as a machine learning based model. The functionalities defined are standard steps for any credit underwriting scorecard development, extensively used in financial domain.

S-Core Graph Decomposition algorithm for graphs. This is a method
             for decomposition of a weighted graph, as proposed by Eidsaa and
             Almaas (2013) <doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.88.062819>. The high speed and
             the low memory usage make it suitable for large graphs.

Perform association test within linear mixed model framework using score test integrated with Empirical Bayes for genome-wide association study. Firstly, score test was conducted for each marker under linear mixed model framework, taking into account the genetic relatedness and population structure. And then all the potentially associated markers were selected with a less stringent criterion. Finally, all the selected markers were placed into a multi-locus model to identify the true quantitative trait nucleotide.

Hyvärinen's score matching (Hyvärinen, 2005) <https://jmlr.org/papers/v6/hyvarinen05a.html> is a useful estimation technique when the normalising constant for a probability distribution is difficult to compute. This package implements score matching estimators using automatic differentiation in the 'CppAD' library <https://github.com/coin-or/CppAD> and is designed for quickly implementing score matching estimators for new models. Also available is general robustification (Windham, 1995) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2346159>. Already in the package are estimators for directional distributions (Mardia, Kent and Laha, 2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1604.08470> and the flexible Polynomially-Tilted Pairwise Interaction model for compositional data. The latter estimators perform well when there are zeros in the compositions (Scealy and Wood, 2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.2016422>, even many zeros (Scealy, Hingee, Kent, and Wood, 2024) <doi:10.1007/s11222-024-10412-w>.
