This package implements a likelihood-based method for genome polarization, identifying which alleles of SNV markers belong to either side of a barrier to gene flow. The approach co-estimates individual assignment, barrier strength, and divergence between sides, with direct application to studies of hybridization. Includes VCF-to-diem conversion and input checks, support for mixed ploidy and parallelization, and tools for visualization and diagnostic outputs. Based on diagnostic index expectation maximization as described in Baird et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14010>.

Calculate adjusted means and proportions of a variable by groups defined by another variable by direct standardisation, standardised to the structure of the dataset.

This package provides tools for exploring the topography of 3d triangle meshes. The functions were developed with dental surfaces in mind, but could be applied to any triangle mesh of class mesh3d'.

This package provides a flexible container to transport and manipulate complex sets of data. These data may consist of multiple data files and associated meta data and ancillary files. Individual data objects have associated system level meta data, and data files are linked together using the OAI-ORE standard resource map which describes the relationships between the files. The OAI- ORE standard is described at <https://www.openarchives.org/ore/>. Data packages can be serialized and transported as structured files that have been created following the BagIt specification. The BagIt specification is described at <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-kunze-bagit-08>.

This package provides functions that offer seamless D3Plus integration. The examples provided here are taken from the official D3Plus website <http://d3plus.org>.

Dominance analysis is a method that allows to compare the relative importance of predictors in multiple regression models: ordinary least squares, generalized linear models, hierarchical linear models, beta regression and dynamic linear models. The main principles and methods of dominance analysis are described in Budescu, D. V. (1993) <doi:10.1037/0033-2909.114.3.542> and Azen, R., & Budescu, D. V. (2003) <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.8.2.129> for ordinary least squares regression. Subsequently, the extensions for multivariate regression, logistic regression and hierarchical linear models were described in Azen, R., & Budescu, D. V. (2006) <doi:10.3102/10769986031002157>, Azen, R., & Traxel, N. (2009) <doi:10.3102/1076998609332754> and Luo, W., & Azen, R. (2013) <doi:10.3102/1076998612458319>, respectively.

In tumor tissue, underlying genomic instability can lead to DNA copy number alterations, e.g., copy number gains or losses. Sporadic copy number alterations occur randomly throughout the genome, whereas recurrent alterations are observed in the same genomic region across multiple independent samples, perhaps because they provide a selective growth advantage. Here we use cyclic shift permutations to identify recurrent copy number alterations in a single cohort or recurrent copy number differences in two cohorts based on a common set of genomic markers. Additional functionality is provided to perform downstream analyses, including the creation of summary files and graphics. DiNAMIC.Duo builds upon the original DiNAMIC package of Walter et al. (2011) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq717> and leverages the theory developed in Walter et al. (2015) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asv046>. An article describing DiNAMIC.Duo by Walter et al. (2022) can be found at <doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btac542>.

Plan optimal sample size allocation and go/no-go decision rules for phase II/III drug development programs with time-to-event, binary or normally distributed endpoints when assuming fixed treatment effects or a prior distribution for the treatment effect, using methods from Kirchner et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6624> and Preussler (2020). Optimal is in the sense of maximal expected utility, where the utility is a function taking into account the expected cost and benefit of the program. It is possible to extend to more complex settings with bias correction (Preussler S et al. (2020) <doi:10.1186/s12874-020-01093-w>), multiple phase III trials (Preussler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201700241>), multi-arm trials (Preussler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1702092>), and multiple endpoints (Kieser et al. (2018) <doi:10.1002/pst.1861>).

This package provides a general-purpose computational engine for data analysis, drake rebuilds intermediate data objects when their dependencies change, and it skips work when the results are already up to date. Not every execution starts from scratch, there is native support for parallel and distributed computing, and completed projects have tangible evidence that they are reproducible. Extensive documentation, from beginner-friendly tutorials to practical examples and more, is available at the reference website <https://docs.ropensci.org/drake/> and the online manual <https://books.ropensci.org/drake/>.

Calculates key indicators such as fertility rates (Total Fertility Rate (TFR), General Fertility Rate (GFR), and Age Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR)) using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) women/individual data, childhood mortality probabilities and rates such as Neonatal Mortality Rate (NNMR), Post-neonatal Mortality Rate (PNNMR), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Child Mortality Rate (CMR), and Under-five Mortality Rate (U5MR), and adult mortality indicators such as the Age Specific Mortality Rate (ASMR), Age Adjusted Mortality Rate (AAMR), Age Specific Maternal Mortality Rate (ASMMR), Age Adjusted Maternal Mortality Rate (AAMMR), Age Specific Pregnancy Related Mortality Rate (ASPRMR), Age Adjusted Pregnancy Related Mortality Rate (AAPRMR), Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and Pregnancy Related Mortality Ratio (PRMR). In addition to the indicators, the DHS.rates package estimates sampling errors indicators such as Standard Error (SE), Design Effect (DEFT), Relative Standard Error (RSE) and Confidence Interval (CI). The package is developed according to the DHS methodology of calculating the fertility indicators and the childhood mortality rates outlined in the "Guide to DHS Statistics" (Croft, Trevor N., Aileen M. J. Marshall, Courtney K. Allen, et al. 2018, <https://dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/index.cfm>) and the DHS methodology of estimating the sampling errors indicators outlined in the "DHS Sampling and Household Listing Manual" (ICF International 2012, <https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSM4/DHS6_Sampling_Manual_Sept2012_DHSM4.pdf>).
