Estimation of the components of an ETAS (Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence) model for earthquake description. Non-parametric background seismicity can be estimated through FLP (Forward Likelihood Predictive). New version 2.0.0: covariates have been introduced to explain the effects of external factors on the induced seismicity; the parametrization has been changed; Chiodi, Adelfio (2017)<doi:10.18637/jss.v076.i03>.

Survival analysis is employed to model time-to-event data. This package examines the relationship between survival and one or more predictors, termed as covariates, which can include both treatment variables (e.g., season of birth, represented by indicator functions) and continuous variables. To this end, the Cox-proportional hazard (Cox-PH) model, introduced by Cox in 1972, is a widely applicable and commonly used method for survival analysis. This package enables the estimation of the effect of randomization for the treatment variable to account for potential confounders, providing adjustment when estimating the association with exposure. It accommodates both fixed and time-dependent covariates and computes survival probabilities for lactation periods in dairy animals. The package is built upon the algorithm developed by Klein and Moeschberger (2003) <DOI:10.1007/b97377>.

This package provides implementations of computationally efficient maximum likelihood parameter estimation algorithms for models representing linear dynamical systems. Currently, two such algorithms (one offline and one online) are implemented for the single-output cumulative structural equation model with an additive-noise output measurement equation and assumptions of normality and independence. The corresponding scientific papers are referenced in the descriptions of the functions implementing these algorithms.

Import gaze data from edf files generated by the SR Research <https://www.sr-research.com/> EyeLink eye tracker. Gaze data, both recorded events and samples, is imported per trial. The package allows to extract events of interest, such as saccades, blinks, etc. as well as recorded variables and custom events (areas of interest, triggers) into separate tables. The package requires EDF API library that can be obtained at <https://www.sr-research.com/support/>.

Exploring time series for signal detection. It is specifically designed to detect possible outbreaks using infectious disease surveillance data at the European Union / European Economic Area or country level. Automatic detection tools used are presented in the paper "Monitoring count time series in R: aberration detection in public health surveillance", by Salmon (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i10>. The package includes: - Signal Detection tool, an interactive shiny application in which the user can import external data and perform basic signal detection analyses; - An automated report in HTML format, presenting the results of the time series analysis in tables and graphs. This report can also be stratified by population characteristics (see Population variable). This project was funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

This package provides functions to prepare and analyse eye tracking data of reading exercises. The functions allow some basic data preparations and code fixations as first and second pass. First passes can be further devided into forward and reading. The package further allows for aggregating fixation times per AOI or per AOI and per type of pass (first forward, first rereading, second). These methods are based on Hyönä, Lorch, and Rinck (2003) <doi:10.1016/B978-044451020-4/50018-9> and Hyönä, and Lorch (2004) <doi:10.1016/j.learninstruc.2004.01.001>. It is also possible to convert between metric length and visual degrees.
