multid: Multivariate Difference Between Two Groups

Estimation of multivariate differences between two groups (e.g., multivariate sex differences) with regularized regression methods and predictive approach. See Ilmarinen et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/08902070221088155>. Deconstructing difference score correlations (e.g., gender-equality paradox), see Ilmarinen & Lönnqvist (2024) <doi:10.1037/pspp0000508>. Includes also tools that help in understanding difference score reliability, conditional intra-class correlations, tail-dependency, and heterogeneity of variance estimates. Package development was supported by the Academy of Finland research grant 338891.
