Various affine invariant multivariate normality tests are provided. It is designed to accompany the survey article Ebner, B. and Henze, N. (2020) <arXiv:2004.07332> titled "Tests for multivariate normality -- a critical review with emphasis on weighted L^2-statistics". We implement new and time honoured L^2-type tests of multivariate normality, such as the Baringhaus-Henze-Epps-Pulley (BHEP) test, the Henze-Zirkler test, the test of Henze-Jiménes-Gamero, the test of Henze-Jiménes-Gamero-Meintanis, the test of Henze-Visage, the Dörr-Ebner-Henze test based on harmonic oscillator and the Dörr-Ebner-Henze test based on a double estimation in a PDE. Secondly, we include the measures of multivariate skewness and kurtosis by Mardia, Koziol, Malkovich and Afifi and Móri, Rohatgi and Székely, as well as the associated tests. Thirdly, we include the tests of multivariate normality by Cox and Small, the 'energy' test of Székely and Rizzo, the tests based on spherical harmonics by Manzotti and Quiroz and the test of Pudelko. All the functions and tests need the data to be a n x d matrix where n is the samplesize (number of rows) and d is the dimension (number of columns).

Generate the monotonic binning and
perform the woe (weight of evidence) transformation for the logistic regression
used in the consumer credit scorecard development. The woe transformation is a piecewise
transformation that is linear to the log odds. For a numeric variable, all of its monotonic
functional transformations will converge to the same woe transformation.

This package implements random forest method for model
based recursive partitioning. The mob() function, developed by
Zeileis et al (2008), within party package, is modified to
contruct model-based decesion trees based on random forest
methodology. The main input function mobForestAnalysis() takes
all input parameters to construct trees, compute out-of-bag
errors, predictions, and overall accuracy of forest. The
algorithm performs parallel computation using clusterApply()
function within 'parallel' package.
