Simulates a gambling game under the gambler's ruin setup, after asking for the money you have and the money you want to win, along with your win probability in each round of the game.

Boosting models for fitting generalized additive models for
  location, shape and scale ('GAMLSS') to potentially high dimensional
  data.

Contains infrastructure for using mboost::gamboost() in order to estimate multistate models.

Functions and data are provided that support a course
        that emphasizes statistical issues of inference and generalizability.  
        The functions are designed to make it straightforward to illustrate
        the use of cross-validation, the training/test approach, simulation, 
        and model-based estimates of accuracy.  Methods considered are
        Generalized Additive Modeling, Linear and Quadratic Discriminant
        Analysis, Tree-based methods, and Random Forests.

Implementation of various inference and simulation tools to
    apply generalized additive models to bivariate dependence structures and
    non-simplified vine copulas.

Implements the GAMbag, GAMrsm and GAMens ensemble
    classifiers for binary classification (De Bock et al., 2010) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2009.12.013>. The ensembles
    implement Bagging (Breiman, 1996) <doi:10.1023/A:1010933404324>, the Random Subspace Method (Ho, 1998) <doi:10.1109/34.709601>
    , or both, and use Hastie and Tibshirani's (1990, ISBN:978-0412343902) generalized additive models (GAMs)
    as base classifiers. Once an ensemble classifier has been trained, it can
    be used for predictions on new data. A function for cross validation is also
    included.

Finds adaptive strategies for sequential symmetric 
    games using a genetic algorithm. Currently, any symmetric two by two matrix
    is allowed, and strategies can remember the history of an opponent's play
    from the previous three rounds of moves in iterated interactions between
    players. The genetic algorithm returns a list of adaptive strategies given
    payoffs, and the mean fitness of strategies in each generation.
