An efficient cross-validated approach for covariance matrix estimation, particularly useful in high-dimensional settings. This method relies upon the theory of high-dimensional loss-based covariance matrix estimator selection developed by Boileau et al. (2022) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2022.2110883> to identify the optimal estimator from among a prespecified set of candidates.

This package provides methods for learning causal relationships among a set of foreground variables X based on signals from a (potentially much larger) set of background variables Z, which are known non-descendants of X. The confounder blanket learner (CBL) uses sparse regression techniques to simultaneously perform many conditional independence tests, with complementary pairs stability selection to guarantee finite sample error control. CBL is sound and complete with respect to a so-called "lazy oracle", and works with both linear and nonlinear systems. For details, see Watson & Silva (2022) <arXiv:2205.05715>.

This package provides four variants of three-way correspondence analysis (ca): three-way symmetrical ca, three-way non-symmetrical ca, three-way ordered symmetrical ca and three-way ordered non-symmetrical ca.

Several functions are available for calculating the most widely used effect sizes (ES), along with their variances, confidence intervals and p-values. The output includes ES's of d (mean difference), g (unbiased estimate of d), r (correlation coefficient), z (Fisher's z), and OR (odds ratio and log odds ratio). In addition, NNT (number needed to treat), U3, CLES (Common Language Effect Size) and Cliff's Delta are computed. This package uses recommended formulas as described in The Handbook of Research Synthesis and Meta-Analysis (Cooper, Hedges, & Valentine, 2009). A free web application is available at <https://acdelre.github.io/apps/compute_es/>.

This package provides a simple interface for multivariate correlation analysis that unifies various classical statistical procedures including t-tests, tests in univariate and multivariate linear models, parametric and nonparametric tests for correlation, Kruskal-Wallis tests, common approximate versions of Wilcoxon rank-sum and signed rank tests, chi-squared tests of independence, score tests of particular hypotheses in generalized linear models, canonical correlation analysis and linear discriminant analysis.

Easily automate the following tasks to describe data frames: Summarise the distributions, and labelled missings of variables graphically and using descriptive statistics. For surveys, compute and summarise reliabilities (internal consistencies, retest, multilevel) for psychological scales. Combine this information with metadata (such as item labels and labelled values) that is derived from R attributes. To do so, the package relies on rmarkdown partials, so you can generate HTML, PDF, and Word documents. Codebooks are also available as tables (CSV, Excel, etc.) and in JSON-LD, so that search engines can find your data and index the metadata. The metadata are also available at your fingertips via RStudio Addins.

Applies the change-in-effect estimate method to assess confounding effects in medical and epidemiological research (Greenland & Pearce (2016) <doi:10.1146/annurev-publhealth-031914-122559> ). It starts with a crude model including only the outcome and exposure variables. At each of the subsequent steps, one variable which creates the largest change among the remaining variables is selected. This process is repeated until all variables have been entered into the model (Wang Z. Stata Journal 2007; 7, Number 2, pp. 183â 196). Currently, the chest package has functions for linear regression, logistic regression, negative binomial regression, Cox proportional hazards model and conditional logistic regression.

This package provides functions to calculate the relative crystallinity of starch by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Starch is biosynthesized by plants in the form of granules semicrystalline. For XRD, the relative crystallinity is obtained by separating the crystalline peaks from the amorphous scattering region. For FTIR, the relative crystallinity is achieved by setting of a Gaussian holocrystalline-peak in the 800-1300 cm-1 region of FTIR spectrum of starch which is divided into amorphous region and crystalline region. The relative crystallinity of native starch granules varies from 14 of 45 percent. This package was supported by FONDECYT 3150630 and CIPA Conicyt-Regional R08C1002 is gratefully acknowledged.

The Citation File Format version 1.2.0 <doi:10.5281/zenodo.5171937> is a human and machine readable file format which provides citation metadata for software. This package provides core utilities to generate and validate this metadata.

Access Cloudstor via their WebDAV API. This package can read, write, and navigate Cloudstor from R.

This is an open-source implementation of the Congruent Matching Profile Segments (CMPS) method (Chen et al. 2019)<doi:10.1016/j.forsciint.2019.109964>. In general, it can be used for objective comparison of striated tool marks, and in our examples, we specifically use it for bullet signatures comparisons. The CMPS score is expected to be large if two signatures are similar. So it can also be considered as a feature that measures the similarity of two bullet signatures.

Concordance probability estimate (CPE) is a commonly used performance measure in survival analysis that evaluates the predictive accuracy of a survival model. It measures how well a model can distinguish between pairs of individuals with different survival times. Specifically, it calculate the proportion of all pairs of individuals whose predicted survival times are correctly ordered.

Estimate sample sizes needed to capture target levels of genetic diversity from a population (multivariate allele frequencies) for applications like germplasm conservation and breeding efforts. Compares bootstrap samples to a full population using linear regression, employing the R-squared value to represent the proportion of diversity captured. Iteratively increases sample size until a user-defined target R-squared is met. Offers a parallelized R implementation of a previously developed python method. All ploidy levels are supported.

Computes conditional multivariate t probabilities, random deviates, and densities. It can also be used to create missing values at random in a dataset, resulting in a missing at random (MAR) mechanism. Inbuilt in the package are the Expectation-Maximization (EM), Monte Carlo EM, and Stochastic EM algorithms for imputation of missing values in datasets assuming the multivariate t distribution.
