Links datasets through fuzzy string matching using pretrained text embeddings. Produces more accurate record linkage when lexical string distance metrics are a poor guide to match quality (e.g., "Patricia" is more lexically similar to "Patrick" than it is to "Trish"). Capable of performing multilingual record linkage. Methods are described in Ornstein (2025) <doi:10.1017/pan.2025.10016>.

This package provides a collection of four datasets based around the population dynamics of migratory fish. Datasets contain both basic size information on a per fish basis, as well as otolith data that contains a per day record of fish growth history. All data in this package was collected by the author, from 2015-2016, in the Wellington region of New Zealand.

Genotyping assays for bi-allelic markers (e.g. SNPs) produce signal intensities for the two alleles. fitPoly assigns genotypes (allele dosages) to a collection of polyploid samples based on these signal intensities. fitPoly replaces the older package fitTetra that was limited (a.o.) to only tetraploid populations whereas fitPoly accepts any ploidy level. Reference: Voorrips RE, Gort G, Vosman B (2011) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-12-172>. New functions added on conversion of data from SNP array software formats, drawing of XY-scatterplots with or without genotype colors, checking against expected F1 segregation patterns, comparing results from two different assays (probes) for the same SNP, recovery from a saveMarkerModels() crash.

Fits Zeta distributions (discrete power laws) to data that arises from forensic surveys of clothing on the presence of glass and paint in various populations. The general method is described to some extent in Coulson, S.A., Buckleton, J.S., Gummer, A.B., and Triggs, C.M. (2001) <doi:10.1016/S1355-0306(01)71847-3>, although the implementation differs.

YACFP (Yet Another Convenience Function Package). get_age() is a fast & accurate tool for measuring fractional years between two dates. stale_package_check() tries to identify any library() calls to unused packages.

Contingency Tables are a pain to work with when you want to run regressions. This package takes them, flattens them into a long data frame, so you can more easily analyse them! As well, you can calculate other related statistics. All of this is done so in a tidy manner, so it should tie in nicely with tidyverse series of packages.

This package creates a full rank matrix out of a given matrix. The intended use is for one-hot encoded design matrices that should be used in linear models to ensure that significant associations can be correctly interpreted. However, fullRankMatrix can be applied to any matrix to make it full rank. It removes columns with only 0's, merges duplicated columns and discovers linearly dependent columns and replaces them with linearly independent columns that span the space of the original columns. Columns are renamed to reflect those modifications. This results in a full rank matrix that can be used as a design matrix in linear models. The algorithm and some functions are inspired by Kuhn, M. (2008) <doi:10.18637/jss.v028.i05>.

This package provides a fast method for approximating time-varying infectious disease transmission rates from disease incidence time series and other data, based on a discrete time approximation of an SEIR model, as analyzed in Jagan et al. (2020) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008124>.

Given a set of parameters describing model dynamics and a corresponding cost function, FAMoS performs a dynamic forward-backward model selection on a specified selection criterion. It also applies a non-local swap search method. Works on any cost function. For detailed information see Gabel et al. (2019) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007230>.

Nonparametric estimators and tests for time series analysis. The functions use bootstrap techniques and robust nonparametric difference-based estimators to test for the presence of possibly non-monotonic trends and for synchronicity of trends in multiple time series.

This package provides four addons for analyzing trends and unit roots in financial time series: (i) functions for the density and probability of the augmented Dickey-Fuller Test, (ii) functions for the density and probability of MacKinnon's unit root test statistics, (iii) reimplementations for the ADF and MacKinnon Test, and (iv) an urca Unit Root Test Interface for Pfaff's unit root test suite.

This package provides a wide variety of tools for general data analysis, wrangling, spelling, statistics, visualizations, package development, and more. All functions have vectorized implementations whenever possible. Exported names are designed to be readable, with longer names possessing short aliases.

The ability to tune models is important. finetune enhances the tune package by providing more specialized methods for finding reasonable values of model tuning parameters. Two racing methods described by Kuhn (2014) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1405.6974> are included.

Point and interval estimation in dual frame surveys. In contrast to classic sampling theory, where only one sampling frame is considered, dual frame methodology assumes that there are two frames available for sampling and that, overall, they cover the entire target population. Then, two probability samples (one from each frame) are drawn and information collected is suitably combined to get estimators of the parameter of interest.
