  xactonomial: Inference for Functions of Multinomial Parameters

    


      


Author: Michael C Sachs

      


URL: https://sachsmc.github.io/xactonomial/



      


Description: We consider the problem where we observe k vectors (possibly of different lengths), each representing an independent multinomial random vector. For a given function that takes in the concatenated vector of multinomial probabilities and outputs a real number, this is a Monte Carlo estimation procedure of an exact p-value and confidence interval. The resulting inference is valid even in small samples, when the parameter is on the boundary, and when the function is not differentiable at the parameter value, all situations where asymptotic methods and the bootstrap would fail. For more details see Sachs, Fay, and Gabriel (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.19141.

    


  ymd: Parse 'YMD' Format Number or String to Date

    


      


Author: Xianying Tan

      


URL: https://shrektan.github.io/ymd/, https://github.com/shrektan/ymd



      


Description: Convert 'YMD' format number or string to Date efficiently, using Rust's

    standard library. It also provides helper functions to handle Date, e.g., quick

    finding the beginning or end of the given period, adding months to Date, etc.

    


  zoomerjoin: Superlatively Fast Fuzzy Joins

    


      


Author: Beniamino Green

      


URL: https://beniamino.org/zoomerjoin/, https://github.com/beniaminogreen/zoomerjoin



      


Description: Empowers users to fuzzily-merge data frames with millions or tens of millions of rows in minutes with low memory usage.  The package uses the locality sensitive hashing algorithms developed by Datar, Immorlica, Indyk and Mirrokni (2004) doi:10.1145/997817.997857, and Broder (1998) doi:10.1109/SEQUEN.1997.666900 to avoid having to compare every pair of records in each dataset, resulting in fuzzy-merges that finish in linear time.
