This package provides functions for the method of effect stars as proposed by Tutz and Schauberger (2013) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.701379>. Effect stars can be used to visualize estimates of parameters corresponding to different groups, for example in multinomial logit models. Beside the main function effectstars there exist methods for special objects, for example for vglm objects from the VGAM package.

The core of this package is a function eDT() which enhances DT::datatable() such that it can be used to interactively modify data in shiny'. By the use of generic dplyr methods it supports many types of data storage, with relational databases ('dbplyr') being the main use case.

This package provides statistical methods for estimating bivariate dependency (correlation) from marginal summary statistics across multiple studies. The package supports three modules of bivariate joint distribution estimated from marginal summary data: (1) two binary, (2) two continuous, (3) one binary and one continuous These methods enable privacy-preserving joint estimation when individual-level data are unavailable. The approaches are detailed in Shang, Tsao, and Zhang (2025a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.03995> and Shang, Tsao, and Zhang (2025b) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2508.02057>.

Bindings to edlib, a lightweight performant C/C++ library for exact pairwise sequence alignment using edit distance (Levenshtein distance). The algorithm computes the optimal alignment path, but also can be used to find only the start and/or end of the alignment path for convenience. Edlib was designed to be ultrafast and require little memory, with the capability to handle very large sequences. Three alignment methods are supported: global (Needleman-Wunsch), infix (Hybrid Wunsch), and prefix (Semi-Hybrid Wunsch). The original C/C++ library is described in "Edlib: a C/C++ library for fast, exact sequence alignment using edit distance", M. Å oÅ¡iÄ , M. Å ikiÄ , <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw753>.

In personalized medicine, one wants to know, for a given patient and his or her outcome for a predictor (pre-treatment variable), how likely it is that a treatment will be more beneficial than an alternative treatment. This package allows for the quantification of the predictive causal association (i.e., the association between the predictor variable and the individual causal effect of the treatment) and related metrics. Part of this software has been developed using funding provided from the European Union's 7th Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under Grant Agreement no 602552.

This package implements the methods of McGrath et al. (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280219889080> and Cai et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/09622802211047348> for estimating the sample mean and standard deviation from commonly reported quantiles in meta-analysis. These methods can be applied to studies that report the sample median, sample size, and one or both of (i) the sample minimum and maximum values and (ii) the first and third quartiles. The corresponding standard error estimators described by McGrath et al. (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221139233> are also included.

This package provides functions for estimating plant pathogen parameters from access period (AP) experiments. Separate functions are implemented for semi-persistently transmitted (SPT) and persistently transmitted (PT) pathogens. The common AP experiment exposes insect cohorts to infected source plants, healthy test plants, and intermediate plants (for PT pathogens). The package allows estimation of acquisition and inoculation rates during feeding, recovery rates, and latent progression rates (for PT pathogens). Additional functions support inference of epidemic risk from pathogen and local parameters, and also simulate AP experiment data. The functions implement probability models for epidemiological analysis, as derived in Donnelly et al. (2025), <doi:10.32942/X29K9P>. These models were originally implemented in the EpiPv GitHub package.

Extracting desired data using the proper Census variable names can be time-consuming. This package takes the pain out of that process by providing functions to quickly locate variables and download labeled tables from the Census APIs (<https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets.html>).

The files are read in two steps: first the header is read and then the signals (using the header object as a parameter).

This package provides tools to download and manipulate the Permanent Household Survey from Argentina (EPH is the Spanish acronym for Permanent Household Survey). e.g: get_microdata() for downloading the datasets, get_poverty_lines() for downloading the official poverty baskets, calculate_poverty() for the calculation of stating if a household is in poverty or not, following the official methodology. organize_panels() is used to concatenate observations from different periods, and organize_labels() adds the official labels to the data. The implemented methods are based on INDEC (2016) <http://www.estadistica.ec.gba.gov.ar/dpe/images/SOCIEDAD/EPH_metodologia_22_pobreza.pdf>. As this package works with the argentinian Permanent Household Survey and its main audience is from this country, the documentation was written in Spanish.

The top-performing ensemble-based Penalized Cox Regression (ePCR) framework developed during the DREAM 9.5 mCRPC Prostate Cancer Challenge <https://www.synapse.org/ProstateCancerChallenge> presented in Guinney J, Wang T, Laajala TD, et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(16)30560-5> is provided here-in, together with the corresponding follow-up work. While initially aimed at modeling the most advanced stage of prostate cancer, metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC), the modeling framework has subsequently been extended to cover also the non-metastatic form of advanced prostate cancer (CRPC). Readily fitted ensemble-based model S4-objects are provided, and a simulated example dataset based on a real-life cohort is provided from the Turku University Hospital, to illustrate the use of the package. Functionality of the ePCR methodology relies on constructing ensembles of strata in patient cohorts and averaging over them, with each ensemble member consisting of a highly optimized penalized/regularized Cox regression model. Various cross-validation and other modeling schema are provided for constructing novel model objects.

This package provides discrete and continuous color palettes derived from the album cover artwork of each Taylor Swift Era. Each palette ships with a curated order-of-use so that smaller discrete subsets remain harmonious, and supports continuous interpolation via grDevices::colorRampPalette() for arbitrary n'. Designed to plug into ggplot2 workflows through standard manual and gradient scales.
