This package provides a collection of methods for modeling time-to-event data using both functional and scalar predictors. It implements functional data analysis techniques for estimation and inference, allowing researchers to assess the impact of functional covariates on survival outcomes, including time-to-single event and recurrent event outcomes.

This is a method for Allele-specific DNA Copy Number profiling for whole-Exome sequencing data. Given the allele-specific coverage and site biases at the variant loci, this program segments the genome into regions of homogeneous allele-specific copy number. It requires, as input, the read counts for each variant allele in a pair of case and control samples, as well as the site biases. For detection of somatic mutations, the case and control samples can be the tumor and normal sample from the same individual. The implemented method is based on the paper: Chen, H., Jiang, Y., Maxwell, K., Nathanson, K. and Zhang, N. (under review). Allele-specific copy number estimation by whole Exome sequencing.

This package provides a versatile package that provides implementation of various methods of Functional Data Analysis (FDA) and Empirical Dynamics. The core of this package is Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA), a key technique for functional data analysis, for sparsely or densely sampled random trajectories and time courses, via the Principal Analysis by Conditional Estimation (PACE) algorithm. This core algorithm yields covariance and mean functions, eigenfunctions and principal component (scores), for both functional data and derivatives, for both dense (functional) and sparse (longitudinal) sampling designs. For sparse designs, it provides fitted continuous trajectories with confidence bands, even for subjects with very few longitudinal observations. PACE is a viable and flexible alternative to random effects modeling of longitudinal data. There is also a Matlab version (PACE) that contains some methods not available on fdapace and vice versa. Updates to fdapace were supported by grants from NIH Echo and NSF DMS-1712864 and DMS-2014626.

Forest Many-Objective Robust Decision Making ('FoRDM') is a R toolkit for supporting robust forest management under deep uncertainty. It provides a forestry-focused application of Many-Objective Robust Decision Making ('MORDM') to forest simulation outputs, enabling users to evaluate robustness using regret- and satisficing'-based measures. FoRDM identifies robust solutions, generates Pareto fronts, and offers interactive 2D, 3D, and parallel-coordinate visualizations.

Implementations of the k-means, hierarchical agglomerative and DBSCAN clustering methods for functional data which allows for jointly aligning and clustering curves. It supports functional data defined on one-dimensional domains but possibly evaluating in multivariate codomains. It supports functional data defined in arrays but also via the fd and funData classes for functional data defined in the fda and funData packages respectively. It currently supports shift, dilation and affine warping functions for functional data defined on the real line and uses the SRVF framework to handle boundary-preserving warping for functional data defined on a specific interval. Main reference for the k-means algorithm: Sangalli L.M., Secchi P., Vantini S., Vitelli V. (2010) "k-mean alignment for curve clustering" <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2009.12.008>.

Providing classes, methods, and functions to deal with financial networks. Users can easily store information about both physical and legal persons by using pre-made classes that are studied for integration with scraping packages such as rvest and RSelenium'. Moreover, the package assists in creating various types of financial networks depending on the type of relation between its units depending on the relation under scrutiny (ownership, board interlocks, etc.), the desired tie type (valued or binary), and renders them in the most common formats (adjacency matrix, incidence matrix, edge list, igraph', network'). There are also ad-hoc functions for the Fiedler value, global network efficiency, and cascade-failure analysis.

Flexible parametric mixture and non-mixture cure models for time-to-event data.

This package provides a well known identifiability issue in factor analytic models is the invariance with respect to orthogonal transformations. This problem burdens the inference under a Bayesian setup, where Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are used to generate samples from the posterior distribution. The package applies a series of rotation, sign and permutation transformations (Papastamoulis and Ntzoufras (2022) <DOI:10.1007/s11222-022-10084-4>) into raw MCMC samples of factor loadings, which are provided by the user. The post-processed output is identifiable and can be used for MCMC inference on any parametric function of factor loadings. Comparison of multiple MCMC chains is also possible.

This package provides a toolkit for Flux Balance Analysis and related metabolic modeling techniques. Functions are provided for: parsing models in tabular format, converting parsed metabolic models to input formats for common linear programming solvers, and evaluating and applying gene-protein-reaction mappings. In addition, there are wrappers to parse a model, select a solver, find the metabolic fluxes, and return the results applied to the original model. Compared to other packages in this field, this package puts a much heavier focus on providing reusable components that can be used in the design of new implementation of new techniques, in particular those that involve large parameter sweeps. For a background on the theory, see What is Flux Balance Analysis <doi:10.1038/nbt.1614>.

Calculates marginal effects based on logistic model objects such as glm or speedglm at the average (default) or at given values using finite differences. It also returns confidence intervals for said marginal effects and the p-values, which can easily be used as input in stargazer. The function only returns the essentials and is therefore much faster but not as detailed as other functions available to calculate marginal effects. As a result, it is highly suitable for large datasets for which other packages may require too much time or calculating power.
