Provides a function to query and extract data from the 'US Energy Information Administration' ('EIA') API V2  <https://www.eia.gov/opendata/>. The 'EIA' API provides a variety of information, in a time series format, about the energy sector in the US. The API is open, free, and requires an access key and registration at <https://www.eia.gov/opendata/>.

Estimates RxC (R by C) vote transfer matrices (ecological contingency tables) from aggregate data using the model described in Forcina et al. (2012), as extension of the model proposed in Brown and Payne (1986). Allows incorporation of covariates.

Model fitting and species biotic interaction network topology selection for explicit
  interaction community models. Explicit interaction community models are an extension of binomial
  linear models for joint modelling of species communities, that incorporate both the effects of
  species biotic interactions and the effects of missing covariates. Species interactions are modelled
  as direct effects of each species on each of the others, and are estimated alongside the effects of
  missing covariates, modelled as latent factors. The package includes a penalized maximum likelihood
  fitting function, and a genetic algorithm for selecting the most parsimonious species interaction
  network topology.

Extract features from tabular data in a declarative fashion, with a focus on processing medical records. Features are specified as JSON and are independently processed before being joined. Input data can be provided as CSV files or as data frames. This setup ensures that data is transformed in a modular and reproducible manner, and allows the same pipeline to be easily applied to new data.
