The AFfunction() is a function which returns an estimate of the Attributable Fraction (AF) and a plot of the AF as a function of heritability, disease prevalence, size of target group and intervention effect. Since the AF is a function of several factors, a shiny app is used to better illustrate how the relationship between the AF and heritability depends on several other factors. The app is ran by the function runShinyApp(). For more information see Dahlqwist E et al. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s00439-019-02006-8>.

This package provides a tool that improves the prediction performance of multilevel regression with post-stratification (MrP) by combining a number of machine learning methods. For information on the method, please refer to Broniecki, Wüest, Leemann (2020) Improving Multilevel Regression with Post-Stratification Through Machine Learning (autoMrP) in the Journal of Politics'. Final pre-print version: <https://lucasleemann.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/automrp-r2pa.pdf>.

Adversarial random forests (ARFs) recursively partition data into fully factorized leaves, where features are jointly independent. The procedure is iterative, with alternating rounds of generation and discrimination. Data becomes increasingly realistic at each round, until original and synthetic samples can no longer be reliably distinguished. This is useful for several unsupervised learning tasks, such as density estimation and data synthesis. Methods for both are implemented in this package. ARFs naturally handle unstructured data with mixed continuous and categorical covariates. They inherit many of the benefits of random forests, including speed, flexibility, and solid performance with default parameters. For details, see Watson et al. (2023) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/v206/watson23a.html>.

Fits tractable fully parametric odds-based regression models for survival data, including proportional odds (PO), accelerated failure time (AFT), accelerated odds (AO), and General Odds (GO) models in overall survival frameworks. Given at least an R function specifying the survivor, hazard rate and cumulative distribution functions, any user-defined parametric distribution can be fitted. We applied and evaluated a minimum of seventeen (17) various baseline distributions that can handle different failure rate shapes for each of the four different proposed odds-based regression models. For more information see Bennet et al., (1983) <doi:10.1002/sim.4780020223>, and Muse et al., (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.aej.2022.01.033>.

This package provides methods to analyse spatial units in archaeology from the relationships between refitting fragmented objects scattered in these units (e.g. stratigraphic layers). Graphs are used to model archaeological observations. The package is mainly based on the igraph package for graph analysis. Functions can: 1) create, manipulate, visualise, and simulate fragmentation graphs, 2) measure the cohesion and admixture of archaeological spatial units, and 3) characterise the topology of a specific set of refitting relationships. A series of published empirical datasets is included. Documentation about archeofrag is provided by a vignette and by the accompanying scientific papers: Plutniak (2021, Journal of Archaeological Science, <doi:10.1016/j.jas.2021.105501>) and Plutniak (2022, Journal of Open Source Software, <doi:10.21105/joss.04335>). This package is complemented by the archeofrag.gui R package, a companion GUI application available at <https://analytics.huma-num.fr/Sebastien.Plutniak/archeofrag/>.

Calculate AZTIâ s Marine Biotic Index - AMBI. The included list of benthic fauna species according to their sensitivity to pollution. Matching species in sample data to the list allows the calculation of fractions of individuals in the different sensitivity categories and thereafter the AMBI index. The Shannon Diversity Index H and the Danish benthic fauna quality index DKI (Dansk Kvalitetsindeks) can also be calculated, as well as the multivariate M-AMBI index. Borja, A., Franco, J. ,Pérez, V. (2000) "A marine biotic index to establish the ecological quality of soft bottom benthos within European estuarine and coastal environments" <doi:10.1016/S0025-326X(00)00061-8>.

Tracking accrual in clinical trials is important for trial success. If accrual is too slow, the trial will take too long and be too expensive. If accrual is much faster than expected, time sensitive tasks such as the writing of statistical analysis plans might need to be rushed. accrualPlot provides functions to aid the tracking of accrual and predict when a trial will reach it's intended sample size.

This package creates the optimal (D, U and I) designs for the accelerated life testing with right censoring or interval censoring. It uses generalized linear model (GLM) approach to derive the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of regression coefficients. The failure time distribution is assumed to follow Weibull distribution with a known shape parameter and log-linear link functions are used to model the relationship between failure time parameters and stress variables. The acceleration model may have multiple stress factors, although most ALTs involve only two or less stress factors. ALTopt package also provides several plotting functions including contour plot, Fraction of Use Space (FUS) plot and Variance Dispersion graphs of Use Space (VDUS) plot. For more details, see Seo and Pan (2015) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2015-029>.

Functionalities to simulate space-time data and to estimate dynamic-spatial panel data models. Estimators implemented are the BCML (Elhorst (2010), <doi:10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2010.03.003>), the MML (Elhorst (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2010.03.003>) and the INLA Bayesian estimator (Lindgren and Rue, (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i19>; Bivand, Gomez-Rubio and Rue, (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i20>) adapted to panel data. The package contains functions to replicate the analyses of the scientific article entitled "Agricultural Productivity in Space" (Baldoni and Esposti (2021), <doi:10.1111/ajae.12155>)).

Amiga Disk Files (ADF) are virtual representations of 3.5 inch floppy disks for the Commodore Amiga. Most disk drives from other systems (including modern drives) are not able to read these disks. The adfExplorer package enables you to establish R connections to files on such virtual DOS-formatted disks, which can be use to read from and write to those files.

Lite interface for finding locations of addresses or businesses around the world using the ArcGIS REST API service <https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/overview-world-geocoding-service.htm>. Address text can be converted to location candidates and a location can be converted into an address. No API key required.

This package provides methods to construct frequentist confidence sets with valid marginal coverage for identifying the population-level argmin or argmax based on IID data. For instance, given an n by p loss matrixâ where n is the sample size and p is the number of modelsâ the CS.argmin() method produces a discrete confidence set that contains the model with the minimal (best) expected risk with desired probability. The argmin.HT() method helps check if a specific model should be included in such a confidence set. The main implemented method is proposed by Tianyu Zhang, Hao Lee and Jing Lei (2024) "Winners with confidence: Discrete argmin inference with an application to model selection".

This package provides methods to evaluate the performance characteristics of various point and interval estimators for optimal adaptive two-stage designs as described in Meis et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/sim.10020>. Specifically, this package is written to work with trial designs created by the adoptr package (Kunzmann et al. (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v098.i09>; Pilz et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.8953>)). Apart from the a priori evaluation of performance characteristics, this package also allows for the evaluation of the implemented estimators on real datasets, and it implements methods to calculate p-values.

The process of resolving taxon names is necessary when working with biodiversity data. APCalign uses the Australian Plant Census (APC) and the Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) to align and update plant taxon names to current, accepted standards. APCalign also supplies information about the established status of plant taxa across different states/territories.
