Techniques from a particular branch of spatial statistics,termed geographically-weighted (GW) models. GW models suit situations when data are not described well by some global model, but where there are spatial regions where a suitably localised calibration provides a better description. GWmodel includes functions to calibrate: GW summary statistics (Brunsdon et al., 2002)<doi: 10.1016/s0198-9715(01)00009-6>, GW principal components analysis (Harris et al., 2011)<doi: 10.1080/13658816.2011.554838>, GW discriminant analysis (Brunsdon et al., 2007)<doi: 10.1111/j.1538-4632.2007.00709.x> and various forms of GW regression (Brunsdon et al., 1996)<doi: 10.1111/j.1538-4632.1996.tb00936.x>; some of which are provided in basic and robust (outlier resistant) forms.

Spatial stratified heterogeneity (SSH), referring to the within strata are more similar than the between strata, a model with global parameters would be confounded if input data is SSH. Note that the "spatial" here can be either geospatial or the space in mathematical meaning. Geographical detector is a novel tool to investigate SSH: (1) measure and find SSH of a variable Y; (2) test the power of determinant X of a dependent variable Y according to the consistency between their spatial distributions; and (3) investigate the interaction between two explanatory variables X1 and X2 to a dependent variable Y (Wang et al 2014 <doi:10.1080/13658810802443457>, Wang, Zhang, and Fu 2016 <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2016.02.052>).

Group Sequential Operating Characteristics for Clinical, Bayesian two-arm Trials with known Sigma and Normal Endpoints, as described in Gerber and Gsponer (2016) <doi: 10.18637/jss.v069.i11>.

This package provides functions to apply spatial fuzzy unsupervised classification, visualize and interpret results. This method is well suited when the user wants to analyze data with a fuzzy clustering algorithm and to account for the spatial dimension of the dataset. In addition, indexes for estimating the spatial consistency and classification quality are proposed. The methods were originally proposed in the field of brain imagery (seed Cai and al. 2007 <doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2006.07.011> and Zaho and al. 2013 <doi:10.1016/j.dsp.2012.09.016>) and recently applied in geography (see Gelb and Apparicio <doi:10.4000/cybergeo.36414>).

This package implements methods to plot periodic data in any arbitrary range on the fly.

Estimate gender from names in Spanish and Portuguese. Works with vectors and dataframes. The estimation works not only for first names but also full names. The package relies on a compilation of common names with it's most frequent associated gender in both languages which are used as look up tables for gender inference.

The correlations and linkage disequilibrium between tests can vary as a function of minor allele frequency thresholds used to filter variants, and also varies with different choices of test statistic for region-based tests. Appropriate genome-wide significance thresholds can be estimated empirically through permutation on only a small proportion of the whole genome.

Find all hierarchical models of specified generalized linear model with information criterion (AIC, BIC, or AICc) within specified cutoff of minimum value. Alternatively, find all such graphical models. Use branch and bound algorithm so we do not have to fit all models.

We propose a fully efficient sieve maximum likelihood method to estimate genotype-specific distribution of time-to-event outcomes under a nonparametric model. We can handle missing genotypes in pedigrees. We estimate the time-dependent hazard ratio between two genetic mutation groups using B-splines, while applying nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation to the reference baseline hazard function. The estimators are calculated via an expectation-maximization algorithm.

An R interface to weighted nonlinear least-squares optimization with the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), see M. Galassi et al. (2009, ISBN:0954612078). The available trust region methods include the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with and without geodesic acceleration, the Steihaug-Toint conjugate gradient algorithm for large systems and several variants of Powell's dogleg algorithm. Multi-start optimization based on quasi-random samples is implemented using a modified version of the algorithm in Hickernell and Yuan (1997, OR Transactions). Robust nonlinear regression can be performed using various robust loss functions, in which case the optimization problem is solved by iterative reweighted least squares (IRLS). Bindings are provided to tune a number of parameters affecting the low-level aspects of the trust region algorithms. The interface mimics R's nls() function and returns model objects inheriting from the same class.

This package provides tools to compute the Generalized Measure of Correlation (GMC), a dependence measure accounting for nonlinearity and asymmetry in the relationship between variables. Based on the method proposed by Zheng, Shi, and Zhang (2012) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2012.710509>.

This package provides a Bayesian statistical model for estimating child (under-five age group) and adult (15-60 age group) mortality. The main challenge is how to combine and integrate these different time series and how to produce unified estimates of mortality rates during a specified time span. GPR is a Bayesian statistical model for estimating child and adult mortality rates which its data likelihood is mortality rates from different data sources such as: Death Registration System, Censuses or surveys. There are also various hyper-parameters for completeness of DRS, mean, covariance functions and variances as priors. This function produces estimations and uncertainty (95% or any desirable percentiles) based on sampling and non-sampling errors due to variation in data sources. The GP model utilizes Bayesian inference to update predicted mortality rates as a posterior in Bayes rule by combining data and a prior probability distribution over parameters in mean, covariance function, and the regression model. This package uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to sample from posterior probability distribution by rstan package in R. Details are given in Wang H, Dwyer-Lindgren L, Lofgren KT, et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(12)61719-X>, Wang H, Liddell CA, Coates MM, et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(14)60497-9> and Mohammadi, Parsaeian, Mehdipour et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/S2214-109X(17)30105-5>.

The Graphical Group Ridge GGRidge package package classifies ridge regression predictors in disjoint groups of conditionally correlated variables and derives different penalties (shrinkage parameters) for these groups of predictors. It combines the ridge regression method with the graphical model for high-dimensional data (i.e. the number of predictors exceeds the number of cases) or ill-conditioned data (e.g. in the presence of multicollinearity among predictors). The package reduces the mean square errors and the extent of over-shrinking of predictors as compared to the ridge method.Aldahmani, S. and Zoubeidi, T. (2020) <DOI:10.1080/00949655.2020.1803320>.

Mapping tools that convert place names to coordinates on the fly. These ggplot2 extensions make maps from a data frame where one of the columns contains place names, without having to directly work with the underlying geospatial data and tools.
