Using the Theory of Belief Functions for evidence calculus. Basic probability assignments, or mass functions, can be defined on the subsets of a set of possible values and combined. A mass function can be extended to a larger frame. Marginalization, i.e. reduction to a smaller frame can also be done. These features can be combined to analyze small belief networks and take into account situations where information cannot be satisfactorily described by probability distributions.

Dynamic path analysis with estimation of the corresponding direct, indirect, and total effects, based on Fosen et al., (2006) <doi:10.1007/s10985-006-9004-2>. The main outcome of interest is a counting process from survival analysis (or recurrent events) data. At each time of event, ordinary linear regression is used to estimate the relation between the covariates, while Aalen's additive hazard model is used for the regression of the counting process on the covariates.

There are various functions for managing and cleaning data before the application of different approaches. This includes identifying and erasing sudden jumps in dendrometer data not related to environmental change, identifying the time gaps of recordings, and changing the temporal resolution of data to different frequencies. Furthermore, the package calculates daily statistics of dendrometer data, including the daily amplitude of tree growth. Various approaches can be applied to separate radial growth from daily cyclic shrinkage and expansion due to uptake and loss of stem water. In addition, it identifies periods of consecutive days with user-defined climatic conditions in daily meteorological data, then check what trees are doing during that period.

Computation of dendrometric and structural parameters from forest inventory data. The objective is to provide a user-friendly R package for researchers, ecologists, foresters, statisticians, loggers and other persons who deal with forest inventory data. The package includes advanced distribution fitting capabilities with multiple estimation methods (Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Product Spacing with ties correction methods following Cheng & Amin (1983), and Method of Moments) for probability distributions commonly used in forestry. Visualization tools with confidence bands using delta method and parametric bootstrap are provided for three-parameter Weibull distribution fitting to diameter data. Useful conversion of angle value from degree to radian, conversion from angle to slope (in percentage) and their reciprocals as well as principal angle determination are also included. Position and dispersion parameters usually found in forest studies are implemented. The package contains Fibonacci series, its extensions and the Golden Number computation.

While it has been well established that drugs affect and help patients differently, personalized drug response predictions remain challenging. Solutions based on single omics measurements have been proposed, and networks provide means to incorporate molecular interactions into reasoning. However, how to integrate the wealth of information contained in multiple omics layers still poses a complex problem. We present a novel network analysis pipeline, DrDimont, Drug response prediction from Differential analysis of multi-omics networks. It allows for comparative conclusions between two conditions and translates them into differential drug response predictions. DrDimont focuses on molecular interactions. It establishes condition-specific networks from correlation within an omics layer that are then reduced and combined into heterogeneous, multi-omics molecular networks. A novel semi-local, path-based integration step ensures integrative conclusions. Differential predictions are derived from comparing the condition-specific integrated networks. DrDimont's predictions are explainable, i.e., molecular differences that are the source of high differential drug scores can be retrieved. Our proposed pipeline leverages multi-omics data for differential predictions, e.g. on drug response, and includes prior information on interactions. The case study presented in the vignette uses data published by Krug (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.cell.2020.10.036>. The package license applies only to the software and explicitly not to the included data.

This package implements double hierarchical generalized linear models in which the mean, dispersion parameters for variance of random effects, and residual variance (overdispersion) can be further modeled as random-effect models.

Makes it easy to engage with the Application Program Interface (API) of the TCdata360 and Govdata360 platforms at <https://tcdata360.worldbank.org/> and <https://govdata360.worldbank.org/>, respectively. These application program interfaces provide access to over 5000 trade, competitiveness, and governance indicator data, metadata, and related information from sources both inside and outside the World Bank Group. Package functions include easier download of data sets, metadata, and related information, as well as searching based on user-inputted query.

This package provides functionality to infer trajectories from single-cell data, represent them into a common format, and adapt them. Other biological information can also be added, such as cellular grouping, RNA velocity and annotation. Saelens et al. (2019) <doi:10.1038/s41587-019-0071-9>.

This package provides a suite of tools are provided here to support authors in making their research more discoverable. check_keywords() - this function checks the keywords to assess whether they are already represented in the title and abstract. check_fields() - this function compares terminology used across the title, abstract and keywords to assess where terminological diversity (i.e. the use of synonyms) could increase the likelihood of the record being identified in a search. The function looks for terms in the title and abstract that also exist in other fields and highlights these as needing attention. suggest_keywords() - this function takes a full text document and produces a list of unigrams, bigrams and trigrams (1-, 2- or 2-word phrases) present in the full text after removing stop words (words with a low utility in natural language processing) that do not occur in the title or abstract that may be suitable candidates for keywords. suggest_title() - this function takes a full text document and produces a list of the most frequently used unigrams, bigrams and trigrams after removing stop words that do not occur in the abstract or keywords that may be suitable candidates for title words. check_title() - this function carries out a number of sub tasks: 1) it compares the length (number of words) of the title with the mean length of titles in major bibliographic databases to assess whether the title is likely to be too short; 2) it assesses the proportion of stop words in the title to highlight titles with low utility in search engines that strip out stop words; 3) it compares the title with a given sample of record titles from an .ris import and calculates a similarity score based on phrase overlap. This highlights the level of uniqueness of the title. This version of the package also contains functions currently in a non-CRAN package called litsearchr <https://github.com/elizagrames/litsearchr>.

It is a novel tool used to identify the candidate drugs against a particular disease based on the drug target set enrichment analysis. It assumes the most effective drugs are those with a closer affinity in the protein-protein interaction network to the specified disease. (See Gómez-Carballa et al. (2022) <doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.112890> and Feng et al. (2022) <doi: 10.7150/ijms.67815> for disease expression profiles; see Wishart et al. (2018) <doi: 10.1093/nar/gkx1037> and Gaulton et al. (2017) <doi: 10.1093/nar/gkw1074> for drug target information; see Kanehisa et al. (2021) <doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaa970> for the details of KEGG database.).

Implementation of different statistical tools for the description and analysis of gene expression data based on the concept of data depth, namely, the scale curves for visualizing the dispersion of one or various groups of samples (e.g. types of tumors), a rank test to decide whether two groups of samples come from a single distribution and two methods of supervised classification techniques, the DS and TAD methods. All these techniques are based on the Modified Band Depth, which is a recent notion of depth with a low computational cost, what renders it very appropriate for high dimensional data such as gene expression data.
