This package provides a function to calibrate variant effect scores against evidence strength categories defined by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) guidelines. The method computes likelihood ratios of pathogenicity via kernel density estimation of pathogenic and benign score distributions, and derives score intervals corresponding to ACMG/AMP evidence levels. This enables researchers and clinical geneticists to interpret functional and computational variant scores in a reproducible and standardised manner. For details, see Badonyi and Marsh (2025) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf503>.

This package provides tools to perform model selection alongside estimation under Linear, Logistic, Negative binomial, Quantile, and Skew-Normal regression. Under the spike-and-slab method, a probability for each possible model is estimated with the posterior mean, credibility interval, and standard deviation of coefficients and parameters under the most probable model.

This package provides tools for Bayesian parameter estimation of adsorption isotherm models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. This package enables users to fit non-linear and linear adsorption isotherm modelsâ Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkinâ within a probabilistic framework, capturing uncertainty and parameter correlations. It provides posterior summaries, 95% credible intervals, convergence diagnostics (Gelman-Rubin), and visualizations through trace and density plots. With this R package, researchers can rigorously analyze adsorption behavior in environmental and chemical systems using robust Bayesian inference. For more details, see Gilks et al. (1995) <doi:10.1201/b14835>, and Gamerman & Lopes (2006) <doi:10.1201/9781482296426>.

Another implementation of object-orientation in R. It provides syntactic sugar for the S4 class system and two alternative new implementations. One is an experimental version built around S4 and the other one makes it more convenient to work with lists as objects.

Automatically calculates cognostic groups for plot objects and list column plot objects. Results are returned in a nested data frame.

Loss reserving generally focuses on identifying a single model that can generate superior predictive performance. However, different loss reserving models specialise in capturing different aspects of loss data. This is recognised in practice in the sense that results from different models are often considered, and sometimes combined. For instance, actuaries may take a weighted average of the prediction outcomes from various loss reserving models, often based on subjective assessments. This package allows for the use of a systematic framework to objectively combine (i.e. ensemble) multiple stochastic loss reserving models such that the strengths offered by different models can be utilised effectively. Our framework is developed in Avanzi et al. (2023). Firstly, our criteria model combination considers the full distributional properties of the ensemble and not just the central estimate - which is of particular importance in the reserving context. Secondly, our framework is that it is tailored for the features inherent to reserving data. These include, for instance, accident, development, calendar, and claim maturity effects. Crucially, the relative importance and scarcity of data across accident periods renders the problem distinct from the traditional ensemble techniques in statistical learning. Our framework is illustrated with a complex synthetic dataset. In the results, the optimised ensemble outperforms both (i) traditional model selection strategies, and (ii) an equally weighted ensemble. In particular, the improvement occurs not only with central estimates but also relevant quantiles, such as the 75th percentile of reserves (typically of interest to both insurers and regulators).

Filters animal satellite tracking data obtained from the Argos system(<https://www.argos-system.org/>), following the algorithm described in Freitas et al (2008) <doi:10.1111/j.1748-7692.2007.00180.x>. It is especially indicated for telemetry studies of marine animals, where Argos locations are predominantly of low-quality.

The AHP method (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is a multi-criteria decision-making method addressing choice and outranking problems. The method enables to perform the analysis of alternatives in each type of criterion and then provides a global performance of each alternative in the decision context. The main difference of this package is the possibility of evaluating the alternatives using quantitative data, by numerical representation, and qualitative data, using the Saaty scale, providing preference relation between variables by a pairwise evaluation.

Argument parsing for R scripts, with support for long and short Unix-style options including option clustering, positional arguments including those of variable length, and multiple usage patterns which may take different subsets of options.

Visualization of antibody titer scores is valuable for examination of vaccination effects. AntibodyTiters visualizes antibody titers of all or selected patients. This package also produces empty excel files in a specified format, in which users can fill in experimental data for visualization. Excel files with toy data can also be produced, so that users can see how it is visualized before obtaining real data. The data should contain titer scores at pre-vaccination, after-1st shot, after-2nd shot, and at least one additional sampling points. Patients with missing values can be included. The first two sampling points (pre-vaccination and after-1st shot) will be plotted discretely, whereas those following will be plotted on a continuous time scale that starts from the day of second shot. Half-life of titer can also be calculated for each pair of sampling points.

Set of tools for fitting the additive partial linear models with symmetric autoregressive errors of order p, or APLMS-AR(p). This setup enables the modeling of a time series response variable using linear and nonlinear structures of a set of explanatory variables, with nonparametric components approximated by natural cubic splines or P-splines. It also accounts for autoregressive error terms with distributions that have lighter or heavier tails than the normal distribution. The package includes various error distributions, such as normal, generalized normal, Student's t, generalized Student's t, power-exponential, and Cauchy distributions.
