This package provides a set of procedures for estimating risks related to extreme events via risk measures such as Expectile, Value-at-Risk, etc. is provided. Estimation methods for univariate independent observations and temporal dependent observations are available. The methodology is extended to the case of independent multidimensional observations. The statistical inference is performed through parametric and non-parametric estimators. Inferential procedures such as confidence intervals, confidence regions and hypothesis testing are obtained by exploiting the asymptotic theory. Adapts the methodologies derived in Padoan and Stupfler (2022) <doi:10.3150/21-BEJ1375>, Davison et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/07350015.2022.2078332>, Daouia et al.

Easily export R graphs and statistical output to Microsoft Office / LibreOffice', Latex and HTML Documents, using sensible defaults that result in publication-quality output with simple, straightforward commands. Output to Microsoft Office is in editable DrawingML vector format for graphs, and can use corporate template documents for styling. This enables the production of standardized reports and also allows for manual tidy-up of the layout of R graphs in Powerpoint before final publication. Export of graphs is flexible, and functions enable the currently showing R graph or the currently showing R stats object to be exported, but also allow the graphical or tabular output to be passed as objects. The package relies on package officer for export to Office documents,and output files are also fully compatible with LibreOffice'. Base R', ggplot2 and lattice plots are supported, as well as a wide variety of R stats objects, via wrappers to xtable(), broom::tidy() and stargazer(), including aov(), lm(), glm(), lme(), glmnet() and coxph() as well as matrices and data frames and many more...

This package provides tools for accessing and analyzing eBird Status and Trends Data Products (<https://science.ebird.org/en/status-and-trends>). eBird (<https://ebird.org/home>) is a global database of bird observations collected by member of the public. eBird Status and Trends uses these data to model global bird distributions, abundances, and population trends at a high spatial and temporal resolution.

Runs the eDITH (environmental DNA Integrating Transport and Hydrology) model, which implements a mass balance of environmental DNA (eDNA) transport at a river network scale coupled with a species distribution model to obtain maps of species distribution. eDITH can work with both eDNA concentration (e.g., obtained via quantitative polymerase chain reaction) or metabarcoding (read count) data. Parameter estimation can be performed via Bayesian techniques (via the BayesianTools package) or optimization algorithms. An interface to the DHARMa package for posterior predictive checks is provided. See Carraro and Altermatt (2024) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14317> for a package introduction; Carraro et al. (2018) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1813843115> and Carraro et al. (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41467-020-17337-8> for methodological details.

Analyzing censored variables usually requires the use of optimization algorithms. This package provides an alternative algebraic approach to the task of determining the expected value of a random censored variable with a known censoring point. Likewise this approach allows for the determination of the censoring point if the expected value is known. These results are derived under the assumption that the variable follows an Epanechnikov kernel distribution with known mean and range prior to censoring. Statistical functions related to the uncensored Epanechnikov distribution are also provided by this package.

Implementation of method for estimating excess mortality and other health related outcomes from weekly or daily count data described in Acosta and Irizarry (2021) "A Flexible Statistical Framework for Estimating Excess Mortality".

This package provides functions for age standardisation of epidemiological measures such as incidence and prevalence rates. It allows users to apply standard population structures to observed age-specific estimates in order to obtain comparable summary measures across populations or time periods. Functions support calculation of standardised rates, outcome counts, and corresponding confidence intervals. The tools are designed to facilitate reproducible and transparent adjustment for differences in age distributions in epidemiological and public health research.

Model fitting and species biotic interaction network topology selection for explicit interaction community models. Explicit interaction community models are an extension of binomial linear models for joint modelling of species communities, that incorporate both the effects of species biotic interactions and the effects of missing covariates. Species interactions are modelled as direct effects of each species on each of the others, and are estimated alongside the effects of missing covariates, modelled as latent factors. The package includes a penalized maximum likelihood fitting function, and a genetic algorithm for selecting the most parsimonious species interaction network topology.

This package provides functions for easy building of error correction models (ECM) for time series regression.

Treatments of a one-way layout, being equivalent to a control, can be selected with this package. Bonferroni adjusted "two one-sided t-tests" (TOST) and related simultaneous confidence intervals are given for both differences or ratios of means of normally distributed data. For the case of equal variances and balanced sample sizes for the treatment groups, the single-step procedure of Bofinger and Bofinger (1995) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02058.x> can be chosen. For non-normal data, the Wilcoxon test is applied.

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).

We quantitatively evaluated the assertion that says if one suit is found to be evenly distributed among the 4 players, the rest of the suits are more likely to be evenly distributed. Our mathematical analyses show that, if one suit is found to be evenly distributed, then a second suit has a slightly elevated probability (ranging between 10% to 15%) of being evenly distributed. If two suits are found to be evenly distributed, then a third suit has a substantially elevated probability (ranging between 30% to 50%) of being evenly distributed.This package refers to methods and authentic data from Ely Culbertson <https://www.bridgebum.com/law_of_symmetry.php>, Gregory Stoll <https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/bridge/math.html>, and details of performing the probability calculations from Jeremy L.

This package provides a framework that provides the methods for quantifying entropy-based local indicator of spatial association (ELSA) that can be used for both continuous and categorical data. In addition, this package offers other methods to measure local indicators of spatial associations (LISA). Furthermore, global spatial structure can be measured using a variogram-like diagram, called entrogram. For more information, please check that paper: Naimi, B., Hamm, N. A., Groen, T.

Recently many new p-value based multiple test procedures have been proposed, and these new methods are more powerful than the widely used Hochberg procedure. These procedures strongly control the familywise error rate (FWER). This is a comprehensive collection of p-value based FWER-control stepwise multiple test procedures, including six procedure families and thirty multiple test procedures. In this collection, the conservative Hochberg procedure, linear time Hommel procedures, asymptotic Rom procedure, Gou-Tamhane-Xi-Rom procedures, and Quick procedures are all developed in recent five years since 2014. The package name "elitism" is an acronym of "e"quipment for "l"ogarithmic and l"i"near "ti"me "s"tepwise "m"ultiple hypothesis testing. See Gou, J. (2022), "Quick multiple test procedures and p-value adjustments", Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research 14(4), 636-650.
