This package contains data sets, examples and software from the book Design of Observational Studies by Paul R. Rosenbaum, New York: Springer, <doi:10.1007/978-1-4419-1213-8>, ISBN 978-1-4419-1212-1.

This package provides a data augmentation based sampler for conducting privacy-aware Bayesian inference. The dapper_sample() function takes an existing sampler as input and automatically constructs a privacy-aware sampler. The process of constructing a sampler is simplified through the specification of four independent modules, allowing for easy comparison between different privacy mechanisms by only swapping out the relevant modules. Probability mass functions for the discrete Gaussian and discrete Laplacian are provided to facilitate analyses dealing with privatized count data. The output of dapper_sample() can be analyzed using many of the same tools from the rstan ecosystem. For methodological details on the sampler see Ju et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.00710>, and for details on the discrete Gaussian and discrete Laplacian distributions see Canonne et al. (2020) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2004.00010>.

The Ditwah storm began impacting Sri Lanka on 25 November 2025. Ditwah provides a collection of tidy, well-structured datasets to support storm data management, monitoring, and early warning applications in Sri Lanka. The publicly available data were converted to tidy data format for easy analysis. The package processes weather data, flood data and situation report data (families affected, etc.). The package also includes functions for analyzing river level progression and load dashboard visualizations to enhance situational awareness. This is also developed for educational purposes to support learning in data wrangling, visualization, and disaster analytics.

This package performs Bayesian posterior inference for deep Gaussian processes following Sauer, Gramacy, and Higdon (2023, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2012.08015>). See Sauer (2023, <http://hdl.handle.net/10919/114845>) for comprehensive methodological details and <https://bitbucket.org/gramacylab/deepgp-ex/> for a variety of coding examples. Models are trained through MCMC including elliptical slice sampling of latent Gaussian layers and Metropolis-Hastings sampling of kernel hyperparameters. Vecchia-approximation for faster computation is implemented following Sauer, Cooper, and Gramacy (2023, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2204.02904>). Optional monotonic warpings are implemented following Barnett et al. (2024, <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2408.01540>). Downstream tasks include sequential design through active learning Cohn/integrated mean squared error (ALC/IMSE; Sauer, Gramacy, and Higdon, 2023), optimization through expected improvement (EI; Gramacy, Sauer, and Wycoff, 2022 <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2112.07457>), and contour location through entropy (Booth, Renganathan, and Gramacy, 2024 <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2308.04420>). Models extend up to three layers deep; a one layer model is equivalent to typical Gaussian process regression. Incorporates OpenMP and SNOW parallelization and utilizes C/C++ under the hood.

Gumbel distribution functions (De Haan L. (2007) <doi:10.1007/0-387-34471-3>) implemented with the techniques of automatic differentiation (Griewank A. (2008) <isbn:978-0-89871-659-7>). With this tool, a user should be able to quickly model extreme events for which the Gumbel distribution is the domain of attraction. The package makes available the density function, the distribution function the quantile function and a random generating function. In addition, it supports gradient functions. The package combines Adept (C++ templated automatic differentiation) (Hogan R. (2017) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.1004730>) and Eigen (templated matrix-vector library) for fast computations of both objective functions and exact gradients. It relies on RcppEigen for easy access to Eigen and bindings to R.

Fits disaggregation regression models using TMB ('Template Model Builder'). When the response data are aggregated to polygon level but the predictor variables are at a higher resolution, these models can be useful. Regression models with spatial random fields. The package is described in detail in Nandi et al. (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v106.i11>.

Detects and filters damaged cells in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data using a novel approach inspired by DoubletFinder'. Damage is detected by measuring the extent to which cells deviate from artificially damaged profiles of themselves, simulated through the probabilistic escape of cytoplasmic RNA. As output, a damage score ranging from 0 to 1 is given for each cell providing an intuitive scale for filtering that is standardised across cell types, samples, and experiments.

Likelihood-based inference methods with doubly-truncated data are developed under various models. Nonparametric models are based on Efron and Petrosian (1999) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1999.10474187> and Emura, Konno, and Michimae (2015) <doi:10.1007/s10985-014-9297-5>. Parametric models from the special exponential family (SEF) are based on Hu and Emura (2015) <doi:10.1007/s00180-015-0564-z> and Emura, Hu and Konno (2017) <doi:10.1007/s00362-015-0730-y>.

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.

This package performs calculations with tree taper (or stem profile) equations, including model fitting. The package implements the methods from Garcà a, O. (2015) "Dynamic modelling of tree form" <http://mcfns.net/index.php/Journal/article/view/MCFNS7.1_2>. The models are parsimonious, describe well the tree bole shape over its full length, and are consistent with wood formation mechanisms through time.

It allows running Dynare program from base R, R Markdown and Quarto. Dynare is a software platform for handling a wide class of economic models, in particular dynamic stochastic general equilibrium ('DSGE') and overlapping generations ('OLG') models. This package does not only integrate R and Dynare but also serves as a Dynare Knit-Engine for knitr package. The package requires Dynare (<https://www.dynare.org/>) and Octave (<https://www.octave.org/download.html>). Write all your Dynare commands in R or R Markdown chunk.

Spatial analyses involving binning require that every bin have the same area, but this is impossible using a rectangular grid laid over the Earth or over any projection of the Earth. Discrete global grids use hexagons, triangles, and diamonds to overcome this issue, overlaying the Earth with equally-sized bins. This package provides utilities for working with discrete global grids, along with utilities to aid in plotting such data.
