Creating dendrochronological networks based on the similarity between tree-ring series or chronologies. The package includes various functions to compare tree-ring curves building upon the dplR package. The networks can be used to visualise and understand the relations between tree-ring curves. These networks are also very useful to estimate the provenance of wood as described in Visser (2021) <DOI:10.5334/jcaa.79> or wood-use within a structure/context/site as described in Visser and Vorst (2022) <DOI:10.1163/27723194-bja10014>.

Researchers can characterize and learn about the properties of research designs before implementation using `DeclareDesign`. Ex ante declaration and diagnosis of designs can help researchers clarify the strengths and limitations of their designs and to improve their properties, and can help readers evaluate a research strategy prior to implementation and without access to results. It can also make it easier for designs to be shared, replicated, and critiqued.

This package provides a set of tools for empirical analysis of diversity (a number and frequency of different types in a population) and similarity (a number and frequency of shared types in two populations) in biological or ecological systems.

This package provides a grammar of data manipulation with data.table', providing a consistent a series of utility functions that help you solve the most common data manipulation challenges.

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'.

This package provides a system for extracting news from Chilean media, specifically through Web Scapping from Chilean media. The package allows for news searches using search phrases and date filters, and returns the results in a structured format, ready for analysis. Additionally, it includes functions to clean the extracted data, visualize it, and store it in databases. All of this can be done automatically, facilitating the collection and analysis of relevant information from Chilean media.

Data Analysis using Bootstrap-Coupled ESTimation. Estimation statistics is a simple framework that avoids the pitfalls of significance testing. It uses familiar statistical concepts: means, mean differences, and error bars. More importantly, it focuses on the effect size of one's experiment/intervention, as opposed to a false dichotomy engendered by P values. An estimation plot has two key features: 1. It presents all datapoints as a swarmplot, which orders each point to display the underlying distribution. 2. It presents the effect size as a bootstrap 95% confidence interval on a separate but aligned axes. Estimation plots are introduced in Ho et al., Nature Methods 2019, 1548-7105. <doi:10.1038/s41592-019-0470-3>.

Analysis and visualization of dropout between conditions in surveys and (online) experiments. Features include computation of dropout statistics, comparing dropout between conditions (e.g. Chi squared), analyzing survival (e.g. Kaplan-Meier estimation), comparing conditions with the most different rates of dropout (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) and visualizing the result of each in designated plotting functions.

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.

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.

Test for no adverse shift in two-sample comparison when we have a training set, the reference distribution, and a test set. The approach is flexible and relies on a robust and powerful test statistic, the weighted AUC. Technical details are in Kamulete, V. M. (2021) <arXiv:1908.04000>. Modern notions of outlyingness such as trust scores and prediction uncertainty can be used as the underlying scores for example.
