Stacking rings are tools used to stack pottery in a Kiln. A relatively large group of stacking rings was found in the area of the sanctuary of Dionysos in Miletus in the 1970s. Measurements and additional info is gathered in this package and made available for use by other researchers. The data along with its archaeological context and analysis has been published in "Archäologischer Anzeiger" (2020/1, <doi:10.34780/aa.v0i1.1014>).

Amends errors, augments data and aids analysis of John Snow's map of the 1854 London cholera outbreak.

Cohort plAtform Trial Simulation whereby every cohort consists of two arms, control and experimental treatment. Endpoints are co-primary binary endpoints and decisions are made using either Bayesian or frequentist decision rules. Realistic trial trajectories are simulated and the operating characteristics of the designs are calculated.

Extensive functions for bivariate copula (bicopula) computations and related operations for bicopula theory. The lower, upper, product, and select other bicopula are implemented along with operations including the diagonal, survival copula, dual of a copula, co-copula, and numerical bicopula density. Level sets, horizontal and vertical sections are supported. Numerical derivatives and inverses of a bicopula are provided through which simulation is implemented. Bicopula composition, convex combination, asymmetry extension, and products also are provided. Support extends to the Kendall Function as well as the Lmoments thereof. Kendall Tau, Spearman Rho and Footrule, Gini Gamma, Blomqvist Beta, Hoeffding Phi, Schweizer- Wolff Sigma, tail dependency, tail order, skewness, and bivariate Lmoments are implemented, and positive/negative quadrant dependency, left (right) increasing (decreasing) are available. Other features include Kullback-Leibler Divergence, Vuong Procedure, spectral measure, and Lcomoments for fit and inference, Lcomoment ratio diagrams, maximum likelihood, and AIC, BIC, and RMSE for goodness-of-fit.

This software package provides Cox survival analysis for high-dimensional and multiblock datasets. It encompasses a suite of functions dedicated from the classical Cox regression to newest analysis, including Cox proportional hazards model, Stepwise Cox regression, and Elastic-Net Cox regression, Sparse Partial Least Squares Cox regression (sPLS-COX) incorporating three distinct strategies, and two Multiblock-PLS Cox regression (MB-sPLS-COX) methods. This tool is designed to adeptly handle high-dimensional data, and provides tools for cross-validation, plot generation, and additional resources for interpreting results. While references are available within the corresponding functions, key literature is mentioned below. Terry M Therneau (2024) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=survival>, Noah Simon et al.

This package implements the cross-validation methodology from Pein and Shah (2021) <arXiv:2112.03220>. Can be customised by providing different cross-validation criteria, estimators for the change-point locations and local parameters, and freely chosen folds. Pre-implemented estimators and criteria are available. It also includes our own implementation of the COPPS procedure <doi:10.1214/19-AOS1814>.

One way to choose the number of principal components is via the reconstruction error. This package is designed mainly for this purpose. Graphical representation is also supported, plus some other principal component analysis related functions. References include: Jolliffe I.T. (2002).

Fits convolution-based nonstationary Gaussian process models to point-referenced spatial data. The nonstationary covariance function allows the user to specify the underlying correlation structure and which spatial dependence parameters should be allowed to vary over space: the anisotropy, nugget variance, and process variance. The parameters are estimated via maximum likelihood, using a local likelihood approach. Also provided are functions to fit stationary spatial models for comparison, calculate the Kriging predictor and standard errors, and create various plots to visualize nonstationarity.

Every research team have their own script for data management, statistics and most importantly hemodynamic indices. The purpose is to standardize scripts utilized in clinical research. The hemodynamic indices can be used in a long-format dataframe, and add both periods of interest (trigger-periods), and delete artifacts with deleter-files. Transfer function analysis (Claassen et al. (2016) <doi:10.1177/0271678X15626425>) and Mx (Czosnyka et al. (1996) <doi:10.1161/01.str.27.10.1829>) can be calculated using this package.

Makes univariate, multivariate, or random fields simulations precise and simple. Just select the desired time series or random fieldsâ properties and it will do the rest. CoSMoS is based on the framework described in Papalexiou (2018, <doi:10.1016/j.advwatres.2018.02.013>), extended for random fields in Papalexiou and Serinaldi (2020, <doi:10.1029/2019WR026331>), and further advanced in Papalexiou et al. (2021, <doi:10.1029/2020WR029466>) to allow fine-scale space-time simulation of storms (or even cyclone-mimicking fields).

This package provides tools for evaluating link prediction and clustering algorithms with respect to ground truth. Includes efficient implementations of common performance measures such as pairwise precision/recall, cluster homogeneity/completeness, variation of information, Rand index etc.

Covariance is of universal prevalence across various disciplines within statistics. We provide a rich collection of geometric and inferential tools for convenient analysis of covariance structures, topics including distance measures, mean covariance estimator, covariance hypothesis test for one-sample and two-sample cases, and covariance estimation. For an introduction to covariance in multivariate statistical analysis, see Schervish (1987) <doi:10.1214/ss/1177013111>.

The congeneric normal-ogive model is a popular model for psychometric data (McDonald, R. P. (1997) <doi:10.1007/978-1-4757-2691-6_15>). This model estimates the model, calculates theoretical and concrete reliability coefficients, and predicts the latent variable of the model. This is the companion package to Moss (2020) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/nvg5d>.

This package performs classical age-depth modelling of dated sediment deposits - prior to applying more sophisticated techniques such as Bayesian age-depth modelling. Any radiocarbon dated depths are calibrated. Age-depth models are constructed by sampling repeatedly from the dated levels, each time drawing age-depth curves. Model types include linear interpolation, linear or polynomial regression, and a range of splines. See Blaauw (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2010.01.002>.

Analysis of network community objects with applications to neuroimaging data. There are two main components to this package. The first is the hierarchical multimodal spinglass (HMS) algorithm, which is a novel community detection algorithm specifically tailored to the unique issues within brain connectivity. The other is a suite of semiparametric kernel machine methods that allow for statistical inference to be performed to test for potential associations between these community structures and an outcome of interest (binary or continuous).

This package contains generic functions for performing cross validation and for computing diagnostic errors.
