Returns an edit-distance based clusterization of an input vector of strings. Each cluster will contain a set of strings w/ small mutual edit-distance (e.g., Levenshtein, optimum-sequence-alignment, Damerau-Levenshtein), as computed by stringdist::stringdist(). The set of all mutual edit-distances is then used by graph algorithms (from package igraph') to single out subsets of high connectivity.

Sample size estimation in cluster (group) randomized trials. Contains traditional power-based methods, empirical smoothing (Rotondi and Donner, 2009), and updated meta-analysis techniques (Rotondi and Donner, 2012).

Provided are Computational methods for Immune Cell-type Subsets, including:(1) DCQ (Digital Cell Quantifier) to infer global dynamic changes in immune cell quantities within a complex tissue; and (2) VoCAL (Variation of Cell-type Abundance Loci) a deconvolution-based method that utilizes transcriptome data to infer the quantities of immune-cell types, and then uses these quantitative traits to uncover the underlying DNA loci.

Various estimators of causal effects based on inverse probability weighting, doubly robust estimation, and double machine learning. Specifically, the package includes methods for estimating average treatment effects, direct and indirect effects in causal mediation analysis, and dynamic treatment effects. The models refer to studies of Froelich (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2006.06.004>, Huber (2012) <doi:10.3102/1076998611411917>, Huber (2014) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2013.806197>, Huber (2014) <doi:10.1002/jae.2341>, Froelich and Huber (2017) <doi:10.1111/rssb.12232>, Hsu, Huber, Lee, and Lettry (2020) <doi:10.1002/jae.2765>, and others.

Implementations of canonical associative learning models, with tools to run experiment simulations, estimate model parameters, and compare model representations. Experiments and results are represented using S4 classes and methods.

Assess the calibration of an existing (i.e. previously developed) multistate model through calibration plots. Calibration is assessed using one of three methods. 1) Calibration methods for binary logistic regression models applied at a fixed time point in conjunction with inverse probability of censoring weights. 2) Calibration methods for multinomial logistic regression models applied at a fixed time point in conjunction with inverse probability of censoring weights. 3) Pseudo-values estimated using the Aalen-Johansen estimator of observed risk. All methods are applied in conjunction with landmarking when required. These calibration plots evaluate the calibration (in a validation cohort of interest) of the transition probabilities estimated from an existing multistate model. While package development has focused on multistate models, calibration plots can be produced for any model which utilises information post baseline to update predictions (e.g. dynamic models); competing risks models; or standard single outcome survival models, where predictions can be made at any landmark time.

This package creates a 3D data cube view of a RasterStack/Brick, typically a collection/array of RasterLayers (along z-axis) with the same geographical extent (x and y dimensions) and resolution, provided by package raster'. Slices through each dimension (x/y/z), freely adjustable in location, are mapped to the visible sides of the cube. The cube can be freely rotated. Zooming and panning can be used to focus on different areas of the cube.

This function conducts the Cochran-Armitage trend test to a 2 by k contingency table. It will report the test statistic (Z) and p-value.A linear trend in the frequencies will be calculated, because the weights (0,1,2) will be used by default.

Estimate coefficients of Cox proportional hazards model using stochastic gradient descent algorithm for batch data.

We provide a computationally efficient and robust implementation of the recently proposed C-JAMP (Copula-based Joint Analysis of Multiple Phenotypes) method (Konigorski et al., 2019, submitted). C-JAMP allows estimating and testing the association of one or multiple predictors on multiple outcomes in a joint model, and is implemented here with a focus on large-scale genome-wide association studies with two phenotypes. The use of copula functions allows modeling a wide range of multivariate dependencies between the phenotypes, and previous results are supporting that C-JAMP can increase the power of association studies to identify associated genetic variants in comparison to existing methods (Konigorski, Yilmaz, Pischon, 2016, <DOI:10.1186/s12919-016-0045-6>; Konigorski, Yilmaz, Bull, 2014, <DOI:10.1186/1753-6561-8-S1-S72>). In addition to the C-JAMP functions, functions are available to generate genetic and phenotypic data, to compute the minor allele frequency (MAF) of genetic markers, and to estimate the phenotypic variance explained by genetic markers.

Several causal effects are measured using least squares regressions and basis function approximations. Backward and forward selection methods based on different criteria are used to select the basis functions.

Generate multivariate color palettes to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional data in graphics (in contrast to standard color palettes that represent just one variable). You tell colors3d how to map color space onto your data, and it gives you a color for each data point. You can then use these colors to make plots in base R', ggplot2', or other graphics frameworks.

Hierarchical and partitioning algorithms to cluster blocks of variables. The partitioning algorithm includes an option called noise cluster to set aside atypical blocks of variables. Different thresholds per cluster can be sets. The CLUSTATIS method (for quantitative blocks) (Llobell, Cariou, Vigneau, Labenne & Qannari (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2018.05.013>, Llobell, Vigneau & Qannari (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2019.02.017>) and the CLUSCATA method (for Check-All-That-Apply data) (Llobell, Cariou, Vigneau, Labenne & Qannari (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2018.09.006>, Llobell, Giacalone, Labenne & Qannari (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2019.05.017>) are the core of this package. The CATATIS methods allows to compute some indices and tests to control the quality of CATA data. Multivariate analysis and clustering of subjects for quantitative multiblock data, CATA, RATA, Free Sorting and JAR experiments are available. Clustering of rows in multi-block context (notably with ClusMB strategy) is also included.

Supporting functionality to run caret with spatial or spatial-temporal data. caret is a frequently used package for model training and prediction using machine learning. CAST includes functions to improve spatial or spatial-temporal modelling tasks using caret'. It includes the newly suggested Nearest neighbor distance matching cross-validation to estimate the performance of spatial prediction models and allows for spatial variable selection to selects suitable predictor variables in view to their contribution to the spatial model performance. CAST further includes functionality to estimate the (spatial) area of applicability of prediction models. Methods are described in Meyer et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2017.12.001>; Meyer et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.108815>; Meyer and Pebesma (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13650>; Milà et al.

Simulating and estimating peer effect models and network formation models. The class of peer effect models includes linear-in-means models (Lee, 2004; <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00558.x>), Tobit models (Xu and Lee, 2015; <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2015.05.004>), and discrete numerical data models (Houndetoungan, 2025; <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2405.17290>). The network formation models include pair-wise regressions with degree heterogeneity (Graham, 2017; <doi:10.3982/ECTA12679>) and exponential random graph models (Mele, 2017; <doi:10.3982/ECTA10400>).

This package provides equations commonly used in clinical pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacology, such as equations for dose individualization, compartmental pharmacokinetics, drug exposure, anthropomorphic calculations, clinical chemistry, and conversion of common clinical parameters. Where possible and relevant, it provides multiple published and peer-reviewed equations within the respective R function.

Integration of Earth system data from various sources is a challenging task. Except for their qualitative heterogeneity, different data records exist for describing similar Earth system process at different spatio-temporal scales. Data inter-comparison and validation are usually performed at a single spatial or temporal scale, which could hamper the identification of potential discrepancies in other scales. csa package offers a simple, yet efficient, graphical method for synthesizing and comparing observed and modelled data across a range of spatio-temporal scales. Instead of focusing at specific scales, such as annual means or original grid resolution, we examine how their statistical properties change across spatio-temporal continuum.

Finds the most likely originating tissue(s) and developmental stage(s) of tissue-specific RNA sequencing data. The package identifies both pure transcriptomes and mixtures of transcriptomes. The most likely identity is found through comparisons of the sequencing data with high-throughput in situ hybridisation patterns. Typical uses are the identification of cancer cell origins, validation of cell culture strain identities, validation of single-cell transcriptomes, and validation of identity and purity of flow-sorting and dissection sequencing products.
