The goal of dndR is to provide a suite of Dungeons & Dragons related functions. This package is meant to be useful both to players and Dungeon Masters (DMs). Some functions apply to many tabletop role-playing games (e.g., dice rolling), but others are focused on Fifth Edition (a.k.a. "5e") and where possible both the 2014 and 2024 versions are supported.

The gap statistic approach is extended to estimate the number of clusters for categorical response format data. This approach and accompanying software is designed to be used with the output of any clustering algorithm and with distances specifically designed for categorical (i.e. multiple choice) or ordinal survey response data.

This package provides functions for deep learning estimation of Conditional Average Treatment Effects (CATEs) from meta-learner models and Population Average Treatment Effects on the Treated (PATT) in settings with treatment noncompliance using reticulate, TensorFlow and Keras3. Functions in the package also implements the conformal prediction framework that enables computation and illustration of conformal prediction (CP) intervals for estimated individual treatment effects (ITEs) from meta-learner models. Additional functions in the package permit users to estimate the meta-learner CATEs and the PATT in settings with treatment noncompliance using weighted ensemble learning via the super learner approach and R neural networks.

This package performs differential network analysis to infer disease specific gene networks.

This package performs Bayesian model averaging for capture-recapture. This includes code to stratify records, check the strata for suitable overlap to be used for capture-recapture, and some functions to plot the estimated population size.

This package provides a statistically and computationally efficient debiasing method for conducting valid inference on the high-dimensional linear regression function with missing outcomes. The reference paper is Zhang, Giessing, and Chen (2023) <arXiv:2309.06429>.

These are data sets for the hit TV show, RuPaul's Drag Race. Data right now include episode-level data, contestant-level data, and episode-contestant-level data. This is a work in progress, and a love letter of a kind to RuPaul's Drag Race and the performers that have appeared on the show. This may not be the most productive use of my time, but I have tenure and what are you going to do about it? I think there is at least some value in this package if it allows the show's fandom to learn more about the R programming language around its contents.

Statistical hypothesis testing using the Delta method as proposed by Deng et al. (2018) <doi:10.1145/3219819.3219919>. This method replaces the standard variance estimation formula in the Z-test with an approximate formula derived via the Delta method, which can account for within-user correlation.

We present DRaWR, a network-based method for ranking genes or properties related to a given gene set. Such related genes or properties are identified from among the nodes of a large, heterogeneous network of biological information. Our method involves a random walk with restarts, performed on an initial network with multiple node and edge types, preserving more of the original, specific property information than current methods that operate on homogeneous networks. In this first stage of our algorithm, we find the properties that are the most relevant to the given gene set and extract a subnetwork of the original network, comprising only the relevant properties. We then rerank genes by their similarity to the given gene set, based on a second random walk with restarts, performed on the above subnetwork.

Distributed Online Covariance Matrix Tests Docovt is a powerful tool designed to efficiently process and analyze distributed datasets. It enables users to perform covariance matrix tests in an online, distributed manner, making it highly suitable for large-scale data analysis. By leveraging advanced computational techniques, Docovt ensures robust and scalable solutions for statistical analysis, particularly in scenarios where data is dispersed across multiple nodes or sources. This package is ideal for researchers and practitioners working with high-dimensional data, providing a flexible and efficient framework for covariance matrix estimation and hypothesis testing. The philosophy of Docovt is described in Guo G.(2025) <doi:10.1016/j.physa.2024.130308>.

Implementation of the Density Ratio Permutation Test for testing the goodness-of-fit of a hypothesised ratio of two densities, as described in Bordino and Berrett (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.24529>.

This package contains functions for the DivE estimator <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003646>. The DivE estimator is a heuristic approach to estimate the number of classes or the number of species (species richness) in a population.

Dose Titration Algorithm Tuning (DTAT) is a methodologic framework allowing dose individualization to be conceived as a continuous learning process that begins in early-phase clinical trials and continues throughout drug development, on into clinical practice. This package includes code that researchers may use to reproduce or extend key results of the DTAT research programme, plus tools for trialists to design and simulate a 3+3/PC dose-finding study. Please see Norris (2017a) <doi:10.12688/f1000research.10624.3> and Norris (2017c) <doi:10.1101/240846>.

Weighted frequency and contingency tables of categorical variables and of the comparison of the mean value of a numerical variable by the levels of a factor, and methods to produce xtable objects of the tables and to plot them. There are also functions to facilitate the character encoding conversion of objects, to quickly convert fixed width files into csv ones, and to export a data.frame to a text file with the necessary R and SPSS codes to reread the data.

This package performs distance sampling simulations. dsims repeatedly generates instances of a user defined population within a given survey region. It then generates realisations of a survey design and simulates the detection process. The data are then analysed so that the results can be compared for accuracy and precision across all replications. This process allows users to optimise survey designs for their specific set of survey conditions. The effects of uncertainty in population distribution or parameters can be investigated under a number of simulations so that users can be confident that they have achieved a robust survey design before deploying vessels into the field. The distance sampling designs used in this package from dssd are detailed in Chapter 7 of Advanced Distance Sampling, Buckland et. al. (2008, ISBN-13: 978-0199225873). General distance sampling methods are detailed in Introduction to Distance Sampling: Estimating Abundance of Biological Populations, Buckland et. al. (2004, ISBN-13: 978-0198509271). Find out more about estimating animal/plant abundance with distance sampling at <https://distancesampling.org/>.

And it also can be used to manipulate text variables, extract numeric variables from text variables and other variable cleaning processes. It is originated from a author's project which focuses on creative performance in online education environment. The resulting paper of that study will be published soon.

This package provides functions and example datasets to run a decision-analytic model for prevention and treatment strategies across depression severity states (sub-clinical, mild, moderate, severe, and recurrent). The package supports scenario analyses (base and alternative inputs) and summarises outcomes such as coverage, adherence, effect sizes, and healthcare costs.

This package provides a flexible container to manage and annotate Differential Gene Expression (DGE) analysis results (Smythe et. al (2015) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkv007>). The DGEobj has data slots for row (gene), col (samples), assays (matrix n-rows by m-samples dimensions) and metadata (not keyed to row, col, or assays). A set of accessory functions to deposit, query and retrieve subsets of a data workflow has been provided. Attributes are used to capture metadata such as species and gene model, including reproducibility information such that a 3rd party can access a DGEobj history to see how each data object was created or modified. Since the DGEobj is customizable and extensible it is not limited to RNA-seq analysis types of workflows -- it can accommodate nearly any data analysis workflow that starts from a matrix of assays (rows) by samples (columns).

Prediction methods where explanatory information is coded as a matrix of distances between individuals. Distances can either be directly input as a distances matrix, a squared distances matrix, an inner-products matrix or computed from observed predictors.
