Provides limited interpretations of model results and a ranking of variable importance in models. Performs propensity score models, top-coding of model outcome variables, and can return new data with the newly formed variables. Conducts Bayesian analysis summaries and graphs, decision curve analysis, and produces some Shewhart control charts. Also performs Cronbach's alpha for various scale items (e.g., survey questions).
