Functions are provided to simulate trials, test series, and groups of test series. Functions for creating plots specific to this process are also included. Test attributes and criteria can be set arbitrarily. This work is not endorsed by or affiliated with NASA.

Using a Gaussian copula approach, this package generates simulated data mimicking a target real dataset. It supports normal, Poisson, empirical, and DESeq2 (negative binomial with size factors) marginal distributions. It uses an low-rank plus diagonal covariance matrix to efficiently generate omics-scale data. Methods are described in: Yang, Grant, and Brooks (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.01.31.634335>.

Estimation, validation and prediction of models of different types : linear models, additive models, MARS,PolyMARS and Kriging.

Implementations of the multiple testing procedures for discrete tests described in the paper Döhler, Durand and Roquain (2018) "New FDR bounds for discrete and heterogeneous tests" <doi:10.1214/18-EJS1441>. The main procedures of the paper (HSU and HSD), their adaptive counterparts (AHSU and AHSD), and the HBR variant are available and are coded to take as input the results of a test procedure from package DiscreteTests', or a set of observed p-values and their discrete support under their nulls. A shortcut function to obtain such p-values and supports is also provided, along with a wrapper allowing to apply discrete procedures directly to data.

Dynamic CUR (dCUR) boosts the CUR decomposition (Mahoney MW., Drineas P. (2009) <doi:10.1073/pnas.0803205106>) varying the k, the number of columns and rows used, and its final purposes to help find the stage, which minimizes the relative error to reduce matrix dimension. The goal of CUR Decomposition is to give a better interpretation of the matrix decomposition employing proper variable selection in the data matrix, in a way that yields a simplified structure. Its origins come from analysis in genetics. The goal of this package is to show an alternative to variable selection (columns) or individuals (rows). The idea proposed consists of adjusting the probability distributions to the leverage scores and selecting the best columns and rows that minimize the reconstruction error of the matrix approximation ||A-CUR||. It also includes a method that recalibrates the relative importance of the leverage scores according to an external variable of the user's interest.

This package provides a framework to help construct R data packages in a reproducible manner. Potentially time consuming processing of raw data sets into analysis ready data sets is done in a reproducible manner and decoupled from the usual R CMD build process so that data sets can be processed into R objects in the data package and the data package can then be shared, built, and installed by others without the need to repeat computationally costly data processing. The package maintains data provenance by turning the data processing scripts into package vignettes, as well as enforcing documentation and version checking of included data objects. Data packages can be version controlled on GitHub', and used to share data for manuscripts, collaboration and reproducible research.

Generates DNA sequences based on Markov model techniques for matched sequences. This can be generalized to several sequences. The sequences (taxa) are then arranged in an evolutionary tree (phylogenetic tree) depicting how taxa diverge from their common ancestors. This gives the tests and estimation methods for the parameters of different models. Standard phylogenetic methods assume stationarity, homogeneity and reversibility for the Markov processes, and often impose further restrictions on the parameters.

Easily perform a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the cost and carbon, ecological, and water footprints of a set of ideal diets. Pre-processing tools are also available to quickly treat the data, along with basic statistical features to analyze the simulation results â including the ability to establish confidence intervals for selected parameters, such as nutrients and price/emissions. A standard version of the datasets employed is included as well, allowing users easy access to customization. This package brings to R the Python software initially developed by Vandevijvere, Young, Mackay, Swinburn and Gahegan (2018) <doi:10.1186/s12966-018-0648-6>.

This package provides a `.` object which can be used for unpacking assignments. For example, `.[rows, columns] <- dim(cars)` could be used to pull the number of rows and number of columns from `dim(cars)` into individual variables `rows` and `columns` in a single step.

DataSHIELD is an infrastructure and series of R packages that enables the remote and non-disclosive analysis of sensitive research data. This package is the DataSHIELD interface implementation for Opal', which is the data integration application for biobanks by OBiBa'. Participant data, once collected from any data source, must be integrated and stored in a central data repository under a uniform model. Opal is such a central repository. It can import, process, validate, query, analyze, report, and export data. Opal is the reference implementation of the DataSHIELD infrastructure.

This package creates a data frame containing the metadata associated with the documentation of a collection of R packages. It allows for linking topic names to their corresponding documentation online. If you maintain a universe meta-package, it helps create a comprehensive reference for its website.

In the context of data quality assessment, this package provides a number of functions for evaluating data quality across various dimensions, including completeness, plausibility, concordance, conformance, currency, timeliness, and correctness. It has been developed based on two well-known frameworksâ Michael G. Kahn (2016) <doi: 10.13063/2327-9214.1244> and Nicole G. Weiskopf (2017) <doi: 10.5334/egems.218>â for data quality assessment. Using this package, users can evaluate the quality of their datasets, provided that corresponding metadata are available.

This package provides R-implementation of Decision forest algorithm, which combines the predictions of multiple independent decision tree models for a consensus decision. In particular, Decision Forest is a novel pattern-recognition method which can be used to analyze: (1) DNA microarray data; (2) Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) data; and (3) Structure-Activity Relation (SAR) data. In this package, three fundamental functions are provided, as (1)DF_train, (2)DF_pred, and (3)DF_CV. run Dforest() to see more instructions. Weida Tong (2003) <doi:10.1021/ci020058s>.

This Package includes functions to discretize quantitative variables, calculate conditional probability for each pair of attribute values, distance between every pair of attribute values, significance of attributes, calculate dissimilarity between each pair of objects.

Estimation of the average treatment effect when controlling for high-dimensional confounders using debiased inverse propensity score weighting (DIPW). DIPW relies on the propensity score following a sparse logistic regression model, but the regression curves are not required to be estimable. Despite this, our package also allows the users to estimate the regression curves and take the estimated curves as input to our methods. Details of the methodology can be found in Yuhao Wang and Rajen D. Shah (2020) "Debiased Inverse Propensity Score Weighting for Estimation of Average Treatment Effects with High-Dimensional Confounders" <arXiv:2011.08661>. The package relies on the optimisation software MOSEK <https://www.mosek.com/> which must be installed separately; see the documentation for Rmosek'.
