Satorra-Bentler Scaled Chi-Squared Difference Test
Calculates a Satorra-Bentler scaled chi-squared difference test between nested models that were estimated using maximum likelihood (ML) with robust standard errors, which cannot be calculated the traditional way. For details see Satorra & Bentler (2001) <doi:10.1007/bf02296192> and Satorra & Bentler (2010) <doi:10.1007/s11336-009-9135-y>. This package may be particularly helpful when used in conjunction with 'Mplus' software, specifically when implementing the complex survey option. In such cases, the model estimator in 'Mplus' defaults to ML with robust standard errors.

Estimation of the Proportion of SB Explained by Confounders
Uses parametric and nonparametric methods to quantify the proportion of the estimated selection bias (SB) explained by each observed confounder when estimating propensity score weighted treatment effects.

Scalable Bayes with Median of Subset Posteriors
Median-of-means is a generic yet powerful framework for scalable and robust estimation. A framework for Bayesian analysis is called M-posterior, which estimates a median of subset posterior measures. For general exposition to the topic, see the paper by Minsker (2015) <doi:10.3150/14-BEJ645>.

Spatial Clustering with Hidden Markov Random Field using
Empirical Bayes
c(
person("Yi", "Yang", email = "yygaosansiban@sina.com", role = c("aut", "cre")),
person("Xingjie", "Shi", role = "aut"),
person("Jin", "Liu", role = "aut"))
Spatial clustering with hidden markov random field fitted via EM algorithm, details of which can be found in Yi Yang (2021) <doi:10.1101/2021.06.05.447181>. It is not only computationally efficient and scalable to the sample size increment, but also is capable of choosing the smoothness parameter and the number of clusters as well.
