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.

The state-of-the-art algorithms for distance metric learning, including global and local methods such as Relevant Component Analysis, Discriminative Component Analysis, Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis, etc. These distance metric learning methods are widely applied in feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, clustering, classification, information retrieval, and computer vision problems.

This package implements common measures of diversity and spatial segregation. This package has tools to compute the majority of measures are reviewed in Massey and Denton (1988) <doi:10.2307/2579183>. Multiple common measures of within-geography diversity are implemented as well. All functions operate on data frames with a tidyselect based workflow.

Applies dynamic structural equation models to time-series data with generic and simplified specification for simultaneous and lagged effects. Methods are described in Thorson et al. (2024) "Dynamic structural equation models synthesize ecosystem dynamics constrained by ecological mechanisms.".

This package provides constrained triangulation of polygons. Ear cutting (or ear clipping) applies constrained triangulation by successively cutting triangles from a polygon defined by path/s. Holes are supported by introducing a bridge segment between polygon paths. This package wraps the header-only library earcut.hpp <https://github.com/mapbox/earcut.hpp> which includes a reference to the method used by Held, M. (2001) <doi:10.1007/s00453-001-0028-4>.

Phone numbers are often represented as strings because there is no obvious and suitable native representation for them. This leads to high memory use and a lack of standard representation. The package provides integer representation of Australian phone numbers with optional raw vector calling code. The package name is an extension of au and ph'.

This package provides a big-data-friendly and memory-efficient difference-in-differences estimator for staggered (and non-staggered) treatment contexts.

Statistical methods and related graphical representations for the Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) methodology. The DOOR is a paradigm for the design, analysis, interpretation of clinical trials and other research studies based on the patient centric benefit risk evaluation. The package provides functions for generating summary statistics from individual level/summary level datasets, conduct DOOR probability-based inference, and visualization of the results. For more details of DOOR methodology, see Hamasaki and Evans (2025) <doi:10.1201/9781003390855>. For more explanation of the statistical methods and the graphics, see the technical document and user manual of the DOOR Shiny apps at <https://methods.bsc.gwu.edu>.

Joint DNA-based disaster victim identification (DVI), as described in Vigeland and Egeland (2021) <doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-296414/v1>. Identification is performed by optimising the joint likelihood of all victim samples and reference individuals. Individual identification probabilities, conditional on all available information, are derived from the joint solution in the form of posterior pairing probabilities. dvir is part of the pedsuite collection of packages for pedigree analysis.

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. This package implements the DiNAMIC procedure for assessing the statistical significance of recurrent DNA copy number aberrations (Bioinformatics (2011) 27(5) 678 - 685).

This package provides a set of tools to generate dynamic spectrogram visualizations in video format.

Implement download buttons in HTML output from rmarkdown without the need for runtime:shiny'.

This package provides a dimension reduction technique for outlier detection. DOBIN: a Distance based Outlier BasIs using Neighbours, constructs a set of basis vectors for outlier detection. This is not an outlier detection method; rather it is a pre-processing method for outlier detection. It brings outliers to the fore-front using fewer basis vectors (Kandanaarachchi, Hyndman 2020) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1807353>.

This package performs various analyzes of descriptive statistics, including correlations, graphics and tables.

Create and evaluate probability distribution objects from a variety of families or define custom distributions. Automatically compute distributional properties, even when they have not been specified. This package supports statistical modeling and simulations, and forms the core of the probaverse suite of R packages.

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.

Density estimation for possibly large data sets and conditional/unconditional random number generation or bootstrapping with distribution element trees. The function det.construct translates a dataset into a distribution element tree. To evaluate the probability density based on a previously computed tree at arbitrary query points, the function det.query is available. The functions det1 and det2 provide density estimation and plotting for one- and two-dimensional datasets. Conditional/unconditional smooth bootstrapping from an available distribution element tree can be performed by det.rnd'. For more details on distribution element trees, see: Meyer, D.W. (2016) <arXiv:1610.00345> or Meyer, D.W., Statistics and Computing (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11222-017-9751-9> and Meyer, D.W. (2017) <arXiv:1711.04632> or Meyer, D.W., Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2018.1482768>.
