Fit penalized multivariable linear mixed models with a single random effect to control for population structure in genetic association studies. The goal is to simultaneously fit many genetic variants at the same time, in order to select markers that are independently associated with the response. Can also handle prior annotation information, for example, rare variants, in the form of variable weights. For more information, see the website below and the accompanying paper: Bhatnagar et al., "Simultaneous SNP selection and adjustment for population structure in high dimensional prediction models", 2020, <DOI:10.1371/journal.pgen.1008766>.

Allows users to fit a cosinor model using the glmmTMB framework. This extends on existing cosinor modeling packages, including cosinor and circacompare', by including a wide range of available link functions and the capability to fit mixed models. The cosinor model is described by Cornelissen (2014) <doi:10.1186/1742-4682-11-16>.

This package provides tools to access, search, and download global 3D building footprint datasets (3D-GloBFP) generated by Che et al. (2024) <doi:10.5194/essd-16-5357-2024>. The package includes functions to retrieve metadata, filter by bounding box, and download building height tiles.

Assists in the plotting and functional smoothing of traits measured over time and the extraction of features from these traits, implementing the SET (Smoothing and Extraction of Traits) method described in Brien et al. (2020) Plant Methods, 16. Smoothing of growth trends for individual plants using natural cubic smoothing splines or P-splines is available for removing transient effects and segmented smoothing is available to deal with discontinuities in growth trends. There are graphical tools for assessing the adequacy of trait smoothing, both when using this and other packages, such as those that fit nonlinear growth models. A range of per-unit (plant, pot, plot) growth traits or features can be extracted from the data, including single time points, interval growth rates and other growth statistics, such as maximum growth or days to maximum growth. The package also has tools adapted to inputting data from high-throughput phenotyping facilities, such from a Lemna-Tec Scananalyzer 3D (see <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRAF_mAEa7E/> for more information). The package growthPheno can also be installed from <http://chris.brien.name/rpackages/>.

The genetic algorithm can be used directly to find the similarity of users and more effectively to increase the efficiency of the collaborative filtering method. By identifying the nearest neighbors to the active user, before the genetic algorithm, and by identifying suitable starting points, an effective method for user-based collaborative filtering method has been developed. This package uses an optimization algorithm (continuous genetic algorithm) to directly find the optimal similarities between active users (users for whom current recommendations are made) and others. First, by determining the nearest neighbor and their number, the number of genes in a chromosome is determined. Each gene represents the neighbor's similarity to the active user. By estimating the starting points of the genetic algorithm, it quickly converges to the optimal solutions. The positive point is the independence of the genetic algorithm on the number of data that for big data is an effective help in solving the problem.

This package provides a collection of Geoms for R's ggplot2 library. geom_shadowpath(), geom_shadowline(), geom_shadowstep() and geom_shadowpoint() functions draw a shadow below lines to make busy plots more aesthetically pleasing. geom_glowpath(), geom_glowline(), geom_glowstep() and geom_glowpoint() add a neon glow around lines to get a steampunk style.
