This package provides tools to analyse human and mosquito behavioral interactions and to compute exposure to mosquito bites estimates. Using behavioral data for human individuals and biting patterns for mosquitoes, you will be able to compute hourly exposure for bed net users and non-users, and summarize (e.g. proportion indoors and outdoors, proportion per time periods, and proportion prevented by bed nets) or visualize these dynamics across a 24-hour cycle.

Computing economic analysis in civil infrastructure and ecosystem restoration projects is a typical activity. This package contains Standard cost engineering and engineering economics methods that are applied to convert between present, future, and annualized costs. Newnan D.

Generation of bioclimatic rasters that are complementary to the typical 19 bioclim variables.

Basic sensitivity analysis of the observed relative risks adjusting for unmeasured confounding and misclassification of the exposure/outcome, or both. It follows the bias analysis methods and examples from the book by Fox M.P., MacLehose R.F., and Lash T.L. "Applying Quantitative Bias Analysis to Epidemiologic Data, second ed.", ('Springer', 2021).

Predicts enrollment and events at the design or analysis stage using specified enrollment and time-to-event models through simulations.

Conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding, selection bias, and measurement error (individually or in combination; VanderWeele & Ding (2017) <doi:10.7326/M16-2607>; Smith & VanderWeele (2019) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001032>; VanderWeele & Li (2019) <doi:10.1093/aje/kwz133>; Smith, Mathur, & VanderWeele (2021) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001380>). Also conducts sensitivity analyses for unmeasured confounding in meta-analyses (Mathur & VanderWeele (2020a) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1529598>; Mathur & VanderWeele (2020b) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000001180>) and for additive measures of effect modification (Mathur et al., <doi:10.1093/ije/dyac073>).

Use structural equation modeling to estimate average and conditional effects of a treatment variable on an outcome variable, taking into account multiple continuous and categorical covariates.

This package contains a large number of the goodness-of-fit tests for the Exponential and Weibull distributions classified into families: the tests based on the empirical distribution function, the tests based on the probability plot, the tests based on the normalized spacings, the tests based on the Laplace transform and the likelihood based tests.

This package provides a set of user-friendly functions to aid in organizing, plotting and analyzing event-related potential (ERP) data. Provides an easy-to-learn method to explore ERP data. Should be useful to those without a background in computer programming, and to those who are new to ERPs (or new to the more advanced ERP software available). Emphasis has been placed on highly automated processes using functions with as few arguments as possible. Expects processed (cleaned) data.

This package provides an interface to the European Central Bank's Data Portal API, allowing for programmatic retrieval of a vast quantity of statistical data.

Work with Ecological Metadata Language ('EML') files. EML is a widely used metadata standard in the ecological and environmental sciences, described in Jones et al. (2006), <doi:10.1146/annurev.ecolsys.37.091305.110031>.

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>.

Reproducibility assessment is essential in extracting reliable scientific insights from high-throughput experiments. While the Irreproducibility Discovery Rate (IDR) method has been instrumental in assessing reproducibility, its standard implementation is constrained to handling only two replicates. Package eCV introduces an enhanced Coefficient of Variation (eCV) metric to assess the likelihood of omic features being reproducible. Additionally, it offers alternatives to the Irreproducible Discovery Rate (IDR) calculations for multi-replicate experiments. These tools are valuable for analyzing high-throughput data in genomics and other omics fields. The methods implemented in eCV are described in Gonzalez-Reymundez et al., (2023) <doi:10.1101/2023.12.18.572208>.

Test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals for AUC (area under Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) and pAUC (partial area under ROC curve), from the given two samples of test data with disease/healthy subjects. The method used is based on TWO SAMPLE empirical likelihood and PROFILE empirical likelihood, as described in <https://www.ms.uky.edu/~mai/research/eAUC1.pdf>.

This package provides a set of procedures for parametric and non-parametric modelling of the dependence structure of multivariate extreme-values is provided. The statistical inference is performed with non-parametric estimators, likelihood-based estimators and Bayesian techniques. It adapts the methodologies of Beranger and Padoan (2015) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1508.05561>, Marcon et al. (2016) <doi:10.1214/16-EJS1162>, Marcon et al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sta4.145>, Marcon et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2016.10.004> and Beranger et al. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s10687-019-00364-0>. This package also allows for the modelling of spatial extremes using flexible max-stable processes. It provides simulation algorithms and fitting procedures relying on the Stephenson-Tawn likelihood as per Beranger at al. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s10687-020-00376-1>.

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>.

Easily compute education inequality measures and the distribution of educational attainments for any group of countries, using the data set developed in Jorda, V. and Alonso, JM. (2017) <DOI:10.1016/j.worlddev.2016.10.005>. The package offers the possibility to compute not only the Gini index, but also generalized entropy measures for different values of the sensitivity parameter. In particular, the package includes functions to compute the mean log deviation, which is more sensitive to the bottom part of the distribution; the Theilâ s entropy measure, equally sensitive to all parts of the distribution; and finally, the GE measure when the sensitivity parameter is set equal to 2, which gives more weight to differences in higher education. The decomposition of these measures in the components between-country and within-country inequality is also provided. Two graphical tools are also provided, to analyse the evolution of the distribution of educational attainments: The cumulative distribution function and the Lorenz curve.

This package provides a framework to simulate ecosystem dynamics through ordinary differential equations (ODEs). You create an ODE model, tells ecode to explore its behaviour, and perform numerical simulations on the model. ecode also allows you to fit model parameters by machine learning algorithms. Potential users include researchers who are interested in the dynamics of ecological community and biogeochemical cycles.

The amplitude-dependent exponential autoregressive (EXPAR) time series model, initially proposed by Haggan and Ozaki (1981) <doi:10.2307/2335819> has been implemented in this package. Throughout various studies, the model has been found to adequately capture the cyclical nature of datasets. Parameter estimation of such family of models has been tackled by the approach of minimizing the residual sum of squares (RSS). Model selection among various candidate orders has been implemented using various information criteria, viz., Akaike information criteria (AIC), corrected Akaike information criteria (AICc) and Bayesian information criteria (BIC). An illustration utilizing data of egg price indices has also been provided.

This package provides the Empirical Bayesian Elastic Net for handling multicollinearity in generalized linear regression models. As a special case of the EBglmnet package (also available on CRAN), this package encourages a grouping effects to select relevant variables and estimate the corresponding non-zero effects.
