An implementation by Chen, Li, and Zhang (2022) <doi: 10.1093/bioadv/vbac041> of the Depth Importance in Precision Medicine (DIPM) method in Chen and Zhang (2022) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxaa021> and Chen and Zhang (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-46161-4_16>. The DIPM method is a classification tree that searches for subgroups with especially poor or strong performance in a given treatment group.

Tests for context-dependent selection on cancer driver genes using somatic mutation data. The package implements the DiffDriver statistical framework to assess whether the strength of positive selection on mutations in a driver gene is associated with tumor- or individual-level context variables, such as clinical traits, genomic features, or immune microenvironment subtypes. DiffDriver estimates individual- and position-specific background mutation rates, models selection as a deviation from the background rate using functional annotations, and tests context effects through a latent-variable logistic model. It provides utilities for preparing mutation and annotation data, fitting differential-selection models, running gene-level association tests, summarizing candidate genes, and visualizing mutation patterns. The method is described in Zhou et al. (2026) "Detecting context-dependent selection on cancer driver genes with DiffDriver" <doi:10.64898/2026.04.06.716771>.

This package provides a Bayesian framework for parameter inference in differential equations. This approach offers a rigorous methodology for parameter inference as well as modeling the link between unobservable model states and parameters, and observable quantities. Provides templates for the DE model, the observation model and data likelihood, and the model parameters and their prior distributions. A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure processes these inputs to estimate the posterior distributions of the parameters and any derived quantities, including the model trajectories. Further functionality is provided to facilitate MCMC diagnostics and the visualisation of the posterior distributions of model parameters and trajectories.

The distributed expectation maximization algorithms are used to solve parameters of multivariate Gaussian mixture models. The philosophy of the package is described in Guo, G. (2022) <doi:10.1080/02664763.2022.2053949>.

This package provides a set of three two-census methods to the estimate the degree of death registration coverage for a population. Implemented methods include the Generalized Growth Balance method (GGB), the Synthetic Extinct Generation method (SEG), and a hybrid of the two, GGB-SEG. Each method offers automatic estimation, but users may also specify exact parameters or use a graphical interface to guess parameters in the traditional way if desired.

An implementation of major general-purpose mechanisms for privatizing statistics, models, and machine learners, within the framework of differential privacy of Dwork et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>. Example mechanisms include the Laplace mechanism for releasing numeric aggregates, and the exponential mechanism for releasing set elements. A sensitivity sampler (Rubinstein & Alda, 2017) <arXiv:1706.02562> permits sampling target non-private function sensitivity; combined with the generic mechanisms, it permits turn-key privatization of arbitrary programs.

Create quick and easy dot-and-whisker plots of regression results. It takes as input either (1) a coefficient table in standard form or (2) one (or a list of) fitted model objects (of any type that has methods implemented in the parameters package). It returns ggplot objects that can be further customized using tools from the ggplot2 package. The package also includes helper functions for tasks such as rescaling coefficients or relabeling predictor variables. See more methodological discussion of the visualization and data management methods used in this package in Kastellec and Leoni (2007) <doi:10.1017/S1537592707072209> and Gelman (2008) <doi:10.1002/sim.3107>.

Analysis of agreement for nominal data between two raters using the Delta model. This model is proposed as an alternative to the widespread measure Cohen kappa coefficient, which performs poorly when the marginal distributions are very asymmetric (Martin-Andres and Femia-Marzo (2004), <doi:10.1348/000711004849268>; Martin-Andres and Femia-Marzo (2008) <doi:10.1080/03610920701669884>). The package also contains a function to perform a massive analysis of multiple raters against a gold standard. A shiny app is also provided to obtain the measures of nominal agreement between two raters.

Mechanistically models/predicts the phenology (macro-phases) of 10 crop plants (trained on a big dataset over 80 years derived from the German weather service (DWD) <https://opendata.dwd.de/>). Can be applied for remote sensing purposes, dynamically check the best subset of available covariates for the given dataset and crop.

This package provides the ability to display something analogous to Python's docstrings within R. By allowing the user to document their functions as comments at the beginning of their function without requiring putting the function into a package we allow more users to easily provide documentation for their functions. The documentation can be viewed just like any other help files for functions provided by packages as well.

This package provides methods to detect differential item functioning (DIF) in dichotomous, polytomous, and continuous items, using both classical and modern approaches. These include Mantel-Haenszel procedures, logistic regression (including ordinal models), and regularization-based methods such as LASSO. Uniform and non-uniform DIF effects can be detected, and some methods support multiple focal groups. The package also provides tools for anchor purification, rest score matching, effect size estimation, and DIF simulation. See Magis, Beland, Tuerlinckx, and De Boeck (2010, Behavior Research Methods, 42, 847â 862, <doi:10.3758/BRM.42.3.847>) for a general overview.

This package contains the function used to create the Dandelion Plot. Dandelion Plot is a visualization method for R-mode Exploratory Factor Analysis.

Automates quality verification of recurring external dataset deliveries. For each new file arrival, it runs single-snapshot quality checks, compares the file to the previous delivery, writes a self-contained HTML report, and records summary statistics in a local SQLite database for long-term trend tracking. Supports CSV and fixed-width formats. Custom organisation-specific checks can be supplied as plain R files.

This package performs DIFlasso as proposed by Tutz and Schauberger (2015) <doi:10.1007/s11336-013-9377-6>, a method to detect DIF (Differential Item Functioning) in Rasch Models. It can handle settings with many variables and also metric variables.

Allows the computation of clustering coefficients for directed and weighted networks by using different approaches. It allows to compute clustering coefficients that are not present in igraph package. A description of clustering coefficients can be found in "Directed clustering in weighted networks: a new perspective", Clemente, G.P., Grassi, R. (2017), <doi:10.1016/j.chaos.2017.12.007>.

First using dada2 R tools to analyse metabarcode data, the DBTC package then uses the BLAST algorithm to search unknown sequences against local databases, and then takes reduced matched results and provides best taxonomic assignments.

Implementation of different algorithms for analyzing randomly truncated data, one-sided and two-sided (i.e. doubly) truncated data. It serves to compute empirical cumulative distributions and also kernel density and hazard functions using different bandwidth selectors. Several real data sets are included.

This package implements the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method and generalizations of it that decompose differences in distributional statistics beyond the mean. The function ob_decompose() decomposes differences in the mean outcome between two groups into one part explained by different covariates (composition effect) and into another part due to differences in the way covariates are linked to the outcome variable (structure effect). The function further divides the two effects into the contribution of each covariate and allows for weighted doubly robust decompositions. For distributional statistics beyond the mean, the function performs the recentered influence function (RIF) decomposition proposed by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2018). The function dfl_decompose() divides differences in distributional statistics into an composition effect and a structure effect using inverse probability weighting as introduced by DiNardo, Fortin, and Lemieux (1996). The function also allows to sequentially decompose the composition effect into the contribution of single covariates. References: Firpo, Sergio, Nicole M. Fortin, and Thomas Lemieux.
