Automation of the item selection processes for Rasch scales by means of exhaustive search for suitable Rasch models (dichotomous, partial credit, rating-scale) in a list of item-combinations. The item-combinations to test can be either all possible combinations or item-combinations can be defined by several rules (forced inclusion of specific items, exclusion of combinations, minimum/maximum items of a subset of items). Tests for model fit and item fit include ordering of the thresholds, item fit-indices, likelihood ratio test, Martin-Löf test, Wald-like test, person-item distribution, person separation index, principal components of Rasch residuals, empirical representation of all raw scores or Rasch trees for detecting differential item functioning. The tests, their ordering and their parameters can be defined by the user. For parameter estimation and model tests, functions of the packages eRm', psychotools or pairwise can be used.

Genotyping the population using next generation sequencing data is essentially important for the rare variant detection. In order to distinguish the genomic structural variation from sequencing error, we propose a statistical model which involves the genotype effect through a latent variable to depict the distribution of non-reference allele frequency data among different samples and different genome loci, while decomposing the sequencing error into sample effect and positional effect. An ECM algorithm is implemented to estimate the model parameters, and then the genotypes and SNPs are inferred based on the empirical Bayes method.

Enables the automation of actions across the pipeline, including initial steps of transforming binocular data and gap repair to event-based processing such as fixations, saccades, and entry/duration in Areas of Interest (AOIs). It also offers visualisation of eye movement and AOI entries. These tools take relatively raw (trial, time, x, and y form) data and can be used to return fixations, saccades, and AOI entries and time spent in AOIs. As the tools rely on this basic data format, the functions can work with data from any eye tracking device. Implements fixation and saccade detection using methods proposed by Salvucci and Goldberg (2000) <doi:10.1145/355017.355028>.
