Fixation and saccade detection in eye movement recordings. This package implements a dispersion-based algorithm (I-DT) proposed by Salvucci & Goldberg (2000) which detects fixation duration and position.

Analysis and visualization of similarities between epilepsy ontologies based on text mining results by comparing ranked lists of co-occurring drug terms in the BioASQ corpus. The ranked result lists of neurological drug terms co-occurring with terms from the epilepsy ontologies EpSO, ESSO, EPILONT, EPISEM and FENICS undergo further analysis. The source data to create the ranked lists of drug names is produced using the text mining workflows described in Mueller, Bernd and Hagelstein, Alexandra (2016) <doi:10.4126/FRL01-006408558>, Mueller, Bernd et al. (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-58694-6_22>, Mueller, Bernd and Rebholz-Schuhmann, Dietrich (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-43887-6_52>, and Mueller, Bernd et al. (2022) <doi:10.1186/s13326-021-00258-w>.

If one treated group is matched to one control reservoir in two different ways to produce two sets of treated-control matched pairs, then the two control groups may be entwined, in the sense that some control individuals are in both control groups. The exterior match is used to compare the two control groups.

This package provides a set of extensions for the ergm package to fit weighted networks whose edge weights are counts. See Krivitsky (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-EJS696> and Krivitsky, Hunter, Morris, and Klumb (2023) <doi:10.18637/jss.v105.i06>.

This package provides a collection of functions that allows for easy and consistent use of environment variables. This includes setting, checking, retrieving, transforming, and validating values stored in environment variables.

This package provides a predictable and pipeable framework for performing ETL (extract-transform-load) operations on publicly-accessible medium-sized data set. This package sets up the method structure and implements generic functions. Packages that depend on this package download specific data sets from the Internet, clean them up, and import them into a local or remote relational database management system.

Estimating individual-level covariate-outcome associations using aggregate data ("ecological inference") or a combination of aggregate and individual-level data ("hierarchical related regression").

Perform dynamic model averaging with grid search as in Dangl and Halling (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2012.04.003> using parallel computing.

Genetic predisposition for complex traits is often manifested through multiple tissues of interest at different time points in the development. As an example, the genetic predisposition for obesity could be manifested through inherited variants that control metabolism through regulation of genes expressed in the brain and/or through the control of fat storage in the adipose tissue by dysregulation of genes expressed in adipose tissue. We present a method eGST (eQTL-based genetic subtyper) that integrates tissue-specific eQTLs with GWAS data for a complex trait to probabilistically assign a tissue of interest to the phenotype of each individual in the study. eGST estimates the posterior probability that an individual's phenotype can be assigned to a tissue based on individual-level genotype data of tissue-specific eQTLs and marginal phenotype data in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) cohort. Under a Bayesian framework of mixture model, eGST employs a maximum a posteriori (MAP) expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the tissue-specific posterior probability across individuals. Methodology is available from: A Majumdar, C Giambartolomei, N Cai, MK Freund, T Haldar, T Schwarz, J Flint, B Pasaniuc (2019) <doi:10.1101/674226>.

This package provides a small group of functions to read in a data dictionary and the corresponding data table from Excel and to automate the cleaning, re-coding and creation of simple calculated variables. This package was designed to be a companion to the macro-enabled Excel template available on the GitHub site, but works with any similarly-formatted Excel data.

Estimation of the parameters in a model for symmetric relational data (e.g., the above-diagonal part of a square matrix), using a model-based eigenvalue decomposition and regression. Missing data is accommodated, and a posterior mean for missing data is calculated under the assumption that the data are missing at random. The marginal distribution of the relational data can be arbitrary, and is fit with an ordered probit specification. See Hoff (2007) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.0711.1146>. for details on the model.

This package contains the example EEG data used in the package eegkit. Also contains code for easily creating larger EEG datasets from the EEG Database on the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

Convenience functions for implementing extended two-way fixed effect regressions a la Wooldridge (2021, 2023) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3906345>, <doi:10.1093/ectj/utad016>.

Access data related to the European union from GISCO <https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco>, the Geographic Information System of the European Commission, via its rest API at <https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu>. This package tries to make it easier to get these data into R.

The peak fitting of spectral data is performed by using the frame work of EM algorithm. We adapted the EM algorithm for the peak fitting of spectral data set by considering the weight of the intensity corresponding to the measurement energy steps (Matsumura, T., Nagamura, N., Akaho, S., Nagata, K., & Ando, Y. (2019, 2021 and 2023) <doi:10.1080/14686996.2019.1620123>, <doi:10.1080/27660400.2021.1899449> <doi:10.1080/27660400.2022.2159753>. The package efficiently estimates the parameters of Gaussian mixture model during iterative calculation between E-step and M-step, and the parameters are converged to a local optimal solution. This package can support the investigation of peak shift with two advantages: (1) a large amount of data can be processed at high speed; and (2) stable and automatic calculation can be easily performed.

We implement (or re-implements in R) a variety of statistical tools. They are focused on non-parametric two-sample (or k-sample) distribution comparisons in the univariate or multivariate case. See the vignette for more info.

Heavy backends (Stan) are optional and never used in examples or tests.

Statistical tools for environmental and ecological surveys. Simulation-based power and precision analysis; detection probabilities from different survey designs; visual fast count estimation.

This is an R package implementing the epidemic volatility index (EVI), as discussed by Kostoulas et. al. (2021) and variations by Pateras et. al. (2023). EVI is a new, conceptually simple, early warning tool for oncoming epidemic waves. EVI is based on the volatility of newly reported cases per unit of time, ideally per day, and issues an early warning when the volatility change rate exceeds a threshold.

The main aim is to further facilitate the creation of exercises based on the package exams by Grün, B., and Zeileis, A. (2009) <doi:10.18637/jss.v029.i10>. Creating effective student exercises involves challenges such as creating appropriate data sets and ensuring access to intermediate values for accurate explanation of solutions. The functionality includes the generation of univariate and bivariate data including simple time series, functions for theoretical distributions and their approximation, statistical and mathematical calculations for tasks in basic statistics courses as well as general tasks such as string manipulation, LaTeX/HTML formatting and the editing of XML task files for Moodle'.

This package implements the Edwards (1997) <doi:10.1002/j.1551-8833.1997.tb08229.x> Langmuir-based semi-empirical coagulation model, which predicts the concentration of organic carbon remaining in water after treatment with an Al- or Fe-based coagulant. Data and methods are provided to optimise empirical coefficients.

Bayesian (and some likelihoodist) functions as alternatives to hypothesis-testing functions in R base using a user interface patterned after those of R's hypothesis testing functions. See McElreath (2016, ISBN: 978-1-4822-5344-3), Gelman and Hill (2007, ISBN: 0-521-68689-X) (new edition in preparation) and Albert (2009, ISBN: 978-0-387-71384-7) for good introductions to Bayesian analysis and Pawitan (2002, ISBN: 0-19-850765-8) for the Likelihood approach. The functions in the package also make extensive use of graphical displays for data exploration and model comparison.
