Several web services are available that provide access to elevation data. This package provides access to many of those services and returns elevation data either as an sf simple features object from point elevation services or as a raster object from raster elevation services. In future versions, elevatr will drop support for raster and will instead return terra objects. Currently, the package supports access to the Amazon Web Services Terrain Tiles <https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/>, the Open Topography Global Datasets API <https://opentopography.org/developers/>, and the USGS Elevation Point Query Service <https://apps.nationalmap.gov/epqs/>.

The algorithm of semi-supervised learning based on finite Gaussian mixture models with a missing-data mechanism is designed for a fitting g-class Gaussian mixture model via maximum likelihood (ML). It is proposed to treat the labels of the unclassified features as missing-data and to introduce a framework for their missing as in the pioneering work of Rubin (1976) for missing in incomplete data analysis. This dependency in the missingness pattern can be leveraged to provide additional information about the optimal classifier as specified by Bayesâ rule.

This cointegration based Time Delay Neural Network Model hybrid model allows the researcher to make use of the information extracted by the cointegrating vector as an input in the neural network model.

Small toolbox for data analyses in environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. Provides, for example, calibration() to calculate calibration curves and corresponding limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) according to German DIN 32645 (2008). texture() makes it easy to estimate soil particle size distributions from hydrometer measurements (ASTM D422-63, 2007).

Expectile regression is a nice tool for estimating the conditional expectiles of a response variable given a set of covariates. This package implements a regression tree based gradient boosting estimator for nonparametric multiple expectile regression, proposed by Yang, Y., Qian, W. and Zou, H. (2018) <doi:10.1080/00949655.2013.876024>. The code is based on the gbm package originally developed by Greg Ridgeway.

Various Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms are implemented for item response theory (IRT) models. The package includes IRT models for binary and ordinal responses, along with dynamic and hierarchical IRT models with binary responses. The latter two models are fitted using variational EM. The package also includes variational network and text scaling models. The algorithms are described in Imai, Lo, and Olmsted (2016) <DOI:10.1017/S000305541600037X>.

Descriptive Statistics is essential for publishing articles. This package can perform descriptive statistics according to different data types. If the data is a continuous variable, the mean and standard deviation or median and quartiles are automatically output; if the data is a categorical variable, the number and percentage are automatically output. In addition, if you enter two variables in this package, the two variables will be described and their relationships will be tested automatically according to their data types. For example, if one of the two input variables is a categorical variable, another variable will be described hierarchically based on the categorical variable and the statistical differences between different groups will be compared using appropriate statistical methods. And for groups of more than two, the post hoc test will be applied. For more information on the methods we used, please see the following references: Libiseller, C. and Grimvall, A.

This package provides a toolbox to make it easy to analyze plant disease epidemics. It provides a common framework for plant disease intensity data recorded over time and/or space. Implemented statistical methods are currently mainly focused on spatial pattern analysis (e.g., aggregation indices, Taylor and binary power laws, distribution fitting, SADIE and mapcomp methods). See Laurence V. Madden, Gareth Hughes, Franck van den Bosch (2007) <doi:10.1094/9780890545058> for further information on these methods. Several data sets that were mainly published in plant disease epidemiology literature are also included in this package.

This package implements the Ebrahim-Farrington goodness-of-fit test for logistic regression models, particularly effective for sparse data and binary outcomes. This test provides an improved alternative to the traditional Hosmer-Lemeshow test by using a modified Pearson chi-square statistic with data-dependent grouping. The test is based on Farrington (1996) theoretical framework but simplified for practical implementation with binary data. Includes functions for both the original Farrington test (for grouped data) and the new Ebrahim-Farrington test (for binary data with automatic grouping). For more details see Hosmer (1980) <doi:10.1080/03610928008827941> and Farrington (1996) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1996.tb02086.x>.

The confusion matrix (CM) is used to get a classifier's evaluation measure in order to select a method among many. A stochastic matrix and its transformation are computed from the CM. The eigenvalues of the transformed symmetric matrix are used to get an entropy which appears to be a good evaluation measure. Many other measures, commonly used, are provided for comparison purpose.

Computes empirical Bayes confidence estimators and confidence intervals in a normal means model. The intervals are robust in the sense that they achieve correct coverage regardless of the distribution of the means. If the means are treated as fixed, the intervals have an average coverage guarantee. The implementation is based on Armstrong, Kolesár and Plagborg-Møller (2020) <arXiv:2004.03448>.

This package provides a collection of advanced tools, methods and models specifically designed for analyzing different types of ecological networks - especially antagonistic (food webs, host-parasite), mutualistic (plant-pollinator, plant-fungus, etc) and competitive networks, as well as their variability in time and space. Statistical models are developed to describe and understand the mechanisms that determine species interactions, and to decipher the organization of these ecological networks (Ohlmann et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/ele.13221>, Gonzalez et al. (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.04.02.021691>, Miele et al. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2103.10433>, Botella et al (2021) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13738>).

This package performs analyzes and estimates of environmental covariates and genetic parameters related to selection strategies and development of superior genotypes. It has two main functionalities, the first being about prediction models of covariates and environmental processes, while the second deals with the estimation of genetic parameters and selection strategies. Designed for researchers and professionals in genetics and environmental sciences, the package combines statistical methods for modeling and data analysis.

The top-performing ensemble-based Penalized Cox Regression (ePCR) framework developed during the DREAM 9.5 mCRPC Prostate Cancer Challenge <https://www.synapse.org/ProstateCancerChallenge> presented in Guinney J, Wang T, Laajala TD, et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(16)30560-5> is provided here-in, together with the corresponding follow-up work. While initially aimed at modeling the most advanced stage of prostate cancer, metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC), the modeling framework has subsequently been extended to cover also the non-metastatic form of advanced prostate cancer (CRPC). Readily fitted ensemble-based model S4-objects are provided, and a simulated example dataset based on a real-life cohort is provided from the Turku University Hospital, to illustrate the use of the package. Functionality of the ePCR methodology relies on constructing ensembles of strata in patient cohorts and averaging over them, with each ensemble member consisting of a highly optimized penalized/regularized Cox regression model. Various cross-validation and other modeling schema are provided for constructing novel model objects.
