This package contains a function, also called cchs', that calculates Estimator III of Borgan et al (2000), <DOI:10.1023/A:1009661900674>. This estimator is for fitting a Cox proportional hazards model to data from a case-cohort study where the subcohort was selected by stratified simple random sampling.

This package provides a method for determining groups in multiple curves with an automatic selection of their number based on k-means or k-medians algorithms. The selection of the optimal number is provided by bootstrap methods or other approaches with lower computational cost. The methodology can be applied both in regression and survival framework. Implemented methods are: Grouping multiple survival curves described by Villanueva et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.8016>.

This package provides functions to calculate weights, estimates of changes and corresponding variance estimates for panel data with non-response. Partially overlapping samples are handled. Initially, weights are calculated by linear calibration. By default, the survey package is used for this purpose. It is also possible to use ReGenesees, which can be installed from <https://github.com/DiegoZardetto/ReGenesees>. Variances of linear combinations (changes and averages) and ratios are calculated from a covariance matrix based on residuals according to the calibration model. The methodology was presented at the conference, The Use of R in Official Statistics, and is described in Langsrud (2016) <http://www.revistadestatistica.ro/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/RRS2_2016_A021.pdf>.

Solves multivariate least squares (MLS) problems subject to constraints on the coefficients, e.g., non-negativity, orthogonality, equality, inequality, monotonicity, unimodality, smoothness, etc. Includes flexible functions for solving MLS problems subject to user-specified equality and/or inequality constraints, as well as a wrapper function that implements 24 common constraint options. Also does k-fold or generalized cross-validation to tune constraint options for MLS problems. See ten Berge (1993, ISBN:9789066950832) for an overview of MLS problems, and see Goldfarb and Idnani (1983) <doi:10.1007/BF02591962> for a discussion of the underlying quadratic programming algorithm.

Record and generate a gif of your R sessions plots. When creating a visualization, there is inevitably iteration and refinement that occurs. Automatically save the plots made to a specified directory, previewing them as they would be saved. Then combine all plots generated into a gif to show the plot refinement over time.

This package provides a common misconception is that the Hochberg procedure comes up with adequate overall type I error control when test statistics are positively correlated. However, unless the test statistics follow some standard distributions, the Hochberg procedure requires a more stringent positive dependence assumption, beyond mere positive correlation, to ensure valid overall type I error control. To fill this gap, we formulate statistical tests grounded in rank correlation coefficients to validate fulfillment of the positive dependence through stochastic ordering (PDS) condition. See Gou, J., Wu, K. and Chen, O. Y. (2024). Rank correlation coefficient based tests on positive dependence through stochastic ordering with application in cancer studies, Technical Report.

Automated flagging of common spatial and temporal errors in biological and paleontological collection data, for the use in conservation, ecology and paleontology. Includes automated tests to easily flag (and exclude) records assigned to country or province centroid, the open ocean, the headquarters of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, urban areas or the location of biodiversity institutions (museums, zoos, botanical gardens, universities).

This package provides a workflow to generate and analyze signatures based on copy number data using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) in an approach similar to that used in mutational signatures. It can be used to extract features from Copy number segment data and use that to find a subset of copy number signatures which can be further used to correlate with other relevant data. For more on NMF see Gaujoux (2013) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-367>.

Nonparametric rank based tests (rank-sum tests and signed-rank tests) for clustered data, especially useful for clusters having informative cluster size and intra-cluster group size.

Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel methods (Cochran (1954) <doi:10.2307/3001616>; Mantel and Haenszel (1959) <doi:10.1093/jnci/22.4.719>; Landis et al. (1978) <doi:10.2307/1402373>) are a suite of tests applicable to categorical data. A competitor to those tests is the procedure of Nonparametric ANOVA which was initially introduced in Rayner and Best (2013) <doi:10.1111/anzs.12041>. The methodology was then extended in Rayner et al. (2015) <doi:10.1111/anzs.12113>. This package employs functions related to both methodologies and serves as an accompaniment to the book: An Introduction to Cochranâ Mantelâ Haenszel and Non-Parametric ANOVA. The package also contains the data sets used in that text.
