Parameter estimation, computation of probability, information, and 
    (log-)likelihood, and visualization of item/test characteristic curves and
    item/test information functions for three uni-dimensional item response theory
    models: the 3-parameter-logistic model, generalized partial credit model, 
    and graded response model. The full documentation and tutorials are at

Numerous functions for cohort-based analyses, either for prediction or causal inference. For causal inference, it includes Inverse Probability Weighting and G-computation for marginal estimation of an exposure effect when confounders are expected. We deal with binary outcomes, times-to-events, competing events, and multi-state data. For multistate data, semi-Markov model with interval censoring may be considered, and we propose the possibility to consider the excess of mortality related to the disease compared to reference lifetime tables. For predictive studies, we propose a set of functions to estimate time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with the possible consideration of right-censoring times-to-events or the presence of confounders. Finally, several functions are available to assess time-dependent ROC curves or survival curves from aggregated data.

Implements techniques for educational resource inspection, selection, and evaluation (RISE) described in Bodily, Nyland, and Wiley (2017) 
    <doi:10.19173/irrodl.v18i2.2952>.	Automates the process of identifying learning materials that are not effectively supporting student learning in 
    technology-mediated courses by synthesizing information about access to course content and performance on assessments.

Fits an Ising model to a binary dataset using L1 regularized
    logistic regression and extended BIC. Also includes a fast lasso logistic
    regression function for high-dimensional problems. Uses the 'libLBFGS'
    optimization library by Naoaki Okazaki.
