Life Table Response Experiments (LTREs) are a method of comparative demographic analysis. The purpose is to quantify how the difference or variance in vital rates (stage-specific survival, growth, and fertility) among populations contributes to difference or variance in the population growth rate, "lambda." We provide functions for one-way fixed design and random design LTRE, using either the classical methods that have been in use for several decades, or an fANOVA-based exact method that directly calculates the impact on lambda of changes in matrix elements, for matrix elements and their interactions. The equations and descriptions for the classical methods of LTRE analysis can be found in Caswell (2001, ISBN: 0878930965), and the fANOVA-based exact methods are described in Hernandez et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14065>. We also provide some demographic functions, including generation time from Bienvenu and Legendre (2015) <doi:10.1086/681104>. For implementation of exactLTRE where all possible interactions are calculated, we use an operator matrix presented in Poelwijk, Krishna, and Ranganathan (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004771>.

This package provides various statistical methods for designing and analyzing randomized experiments. One functionality of the package is the implementation of randomized-block and matched-pair designs based on possibly multivariate pre-treatment covariates. The package also provides the tools to analyze various randomized experiments including cluster randomized experiments, two-stage randomized experiments, randomized experiments with noncompliance, and randomized experiments with missing data.

This package creates realistic random trajectories in a 3-D space between two given fix points, so-called conditional empirical random walks (CERWs). The trajectory generation is based on empirical distribution functions extracted from observed trajectories (training data) and thus reflects the geometrical movement characteristics of the mover. A digital elevation model (DEM), representing the Earth's surface, and a background layer of probabilities (e.g. food sources, uplift potential, waterbodies, etc.) can be used to influence the trajectories.

Estimates coefficients of extended LASSO penalized linear regression and generalized linear models. Currently lasso and elastic net penalized linear regression and generalized linear models are considered. This package currently utilizes an accurate approximation of L1 penalty and then a modified Jacobi algorithm to estimate the coefficients. There is provision for plotting of the solutions and predictions of coefficients at given values of lambda. This package also contains functions for cross validation to select a suitable lambda value given the data. Also provides a function for estimation in fused lasso penalized linear regression. For more details, see Mandal, B. N.(2014). Computational methods for L1 penalized GLM model fitting, unpublished report submitted to Macquarie University, NSW, Australia.

Computes the probability density and cumulative distribution functions of fourteen distributions used for the probabilistic hazard assessment. Estimates the model parameters of the distributions using the maximum likelihood and reports the goodness-of-fit statistics. The recurrence interval estimations of earthquakes are computed for each distribution.

Interactive tools to explore topographic-like data sets. Such data sets take the form of a matrix in which the rows and columns provide location/frequency information, and the matrix elements contain altitude/response information. Such data is found in cartography, 2D spectroscopy and chemometrics. The functions in this package create interactive web pages showing the contoured data, possibly with slices from the original matrix parallel to each dimension. The interactive behavior is created using the D3.js JavaScript library by Mike Bostock.

The EUNIS habitat classification is a comprehensive pan-European system for habitat identification <https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/eunis-habitat-classification-1>. This is an R data package providing the EUNIS classification system. The classification is hierarchical and covers all types of habitats from natural to artificial, from terrestrial to freshwater and marine. The habitat types are identified by specific codes, names and descriptions and come with schema crosswalks to other habitat typologies.

This package contains utilities for the analysis of protein sequences in a phylogenetic context. Allows the generation of phylogenetic trees base on protein sequences in an alignment-independent way. Two different methods have been implemented. One approach is based on the frequency analysis of n-grams, previously described in Stuart et al. (2002) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/18.1.100>. The other approach is based on the species-specific neighborhood preference around amino acids. Features include the conversion of a protein set into a vector reflecting these neighborhood preferences, pairwise distances (dissimilarity) between these vectors, and the generation of trees based on these distance matrices.
