Functions, data sets, analyses and examples from the book A Handbook of Statistical Analyses Using R (Brian S. Everitt and Torsten Hothorn, Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2006). The first chapter of the book, which is entitled An Introduction to R'', is completely included in this package, for all other chapters, a vignette containing all data analyses is available.

Given one or multiple paths to files produced by a PULSE multi-channel or a PULSE one-channel system (<https://electricblue.eu/pulse>) from a single experiment: [1] check pulse files for inconsistencies and read/merge all data, [2] split across time windows, [3] interpolate and smooth to optimize the dataset, [4] compute the heart rate frequency for each channel/window, and [5] facilitate quality control, summarising and plotting. Heart rate frequency is calculated using the Automatic Multi-scale Peak Detection algorithm proposed by Felix Scholkmann and team. For more details see Scholkmann et al (2012) <doi:10.3390/a5040588>.

This package provides functions to calculate the Hotellingâ s T-squared statistic and corresponding confidence ellipses. Provides the semi-axes of the Hotellingâ s T-squared ellipses at 95% and 99% confidence levels. Enables users to obtain the coordinates in two or three dimensions at user-defined confidence levels, allowing for the construction of 2D or 3D ellipses with customized confidence levels.

Meyer and Held (2017) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxw051> present an age-structured spatio-temporal model for infectious disease counts. The approach is illustrated in a case study on norovirus gastroenteritis in Berlin, 2011-2015, by age group, city district and week, using additional contact data from the POLYMOD survey. This package contains the data and code to reproduce the results from the paper, see demo("hhh4contacts")'.

The HMS (Hierarchic Memetic Strategy) is a composite global optimization strategy consisting of a multi-population evolutionary strategy and some auxiliary methods. The HMS makes use of a dynamically-evolving data structure that provides an organization among the component populations. It is a tree with a fixed maximal height and variable internal node degree. Each component population is governed by a particular evolutionary engine. This package provides a simple R implementation with examples of using different genetic algorithms as the population engines. References: J. Sawicki, M. Å oÅ , M. SmoÅ ka, J.

Hedgehog will eat all your bugs. Hedgehog is a property-based testing package in the spirit of QuickCheck'. With Hedgehog', one can test properties of their programs against randomly generated input, providing far superior test coverage compared to unit testing. One of the key benefits of Hedgehog is integrated shrinking of counterexamples, which allows one to quickly find the cause of bugs, given salient examples when incorrect behaviour occurs.

This package provides a local haplotyping tool for use in trait association and trait prediction analyses pipelines. HaploVar enables users take single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (in VCF format) and a linkage disequilibrium (LD) matrix, calculate local haplotypes and format the output to be compatible with a wide range of trait association and trait prediction tools. The local haplotypes are calculated from the LD matrix using a clustering algorithm called density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise ('DBSCAN') (Ester et al., 1996) <ISBN: 1577350049>.

This package implements hierarchically regularized entropy balancing proposed by Xu and Yang (2022) <doi:10.1017/pan.2022.12>. The method adjusts the covariate distributions of the control group to match those of the treatment group. hbal automatically expands the covariate space to include higher order terms and uses cross-validation to select variable penalties for the balancing conditions.

Statistical analysis of static chamber concentration data for trace gas flux estimation.

We provide functions for identifying the core community phylogeny in any microbiome, drawing phylogenetic Venn diagrams, calculating the core Faithâ s PD for a set of communities, and calculating the core UniFrac distance between two sets of communities. All functions rely on construction of a core community phylogeny, which is a phylogeny where branches are defined based on their presence in multiple samples from a single type of habitat. Our package provides two options for constructing the core community phylogeny, a tip-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of leaf nodes and a branch-based approach, where the core community phylogeny is identified based on incidence of individual branches. We suggest use of the microViz package.

This package provides methods for data engineering in the human resources (HR) corporate domain. Designed for HR analytics practitioners and workforce-oriented data sets.

It provides functions to design historical controlled trials with survival outcome by group sequential method. The options for interim look boundaries are efficacy only, efficacy & futility or futility only. It also provides the function to monitor the trial for any unplanned look. The package is based on Jianrong Wu, Xiaoping Xiong (2016) <doi:10.1002/pst.1756> and Jianrong Wu, Yimei Li (2020) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2019.1684305>.

This package creates and plots 2D and 3D hive plots. Hive plots are a unique method of displaying networks of many types in which node properties are mapped to axes using meaningful properties rather than being arbitrarily positioned. The hive plot concept was invented by Martin Krzywinski at the Genome Science Center (www.hiveplot.net/). Keywords: networks, food webs, linnet, systems biology, bioinformatics.

Cross-species identification of novel gene candidates using the NCBI web service is provided. Further, sets of miRNA target genes can be identified by using the targetscan.org API.

Pre-made models that can be rapidly tailored to various chemicals and species using chemical-specific in vitro data and physiological information. These tools allow incorporation of chemical toxicokinetics ("TK") and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation ("IVIVE") into bioinformatics, as described by Pearce et al. (2017) (<doi:10.18637/jss.v079.i04>). Chemical-specific in vitro data characterizing toxicokinetics have been obtained from relatively high-throughput experiments. The chemical-independent ("generic") physiologically-based ("PBTK") and empirical (for example, one compartment) "TK" models included here can be parameterized with in vitro data or in silico predictions which are provided for thousands of chemicals, multiple exposure routes, and various species. High throughput toxicokinetics ("HTTK") is the combination of in vitro data and generic models. We establish the expected accuracy of HTTK for chemicals without in vivo data through statistical evaluation of HTTK predictions for chemicals where in vivo data do exist. The models are systems of ordinary differential equations that are developed in MCSim and solved using compiled (C-based) code for speed. A Monte Carlo sampler is included for simulating human biological variability (Ring et al., 2017 <doi:10.1016/j.envint.2017.06.004>) and propagating parameter uncertainty (Wambaugh et al., 2019 <doi:10.1093/toxsci/kfz205>). Empirically calibrated methods are included for predicting tissue:plasma partition coefficients and volume of distribution (Pearce et al., 2017 <doi:10.1007/s10928-017-9548-7>). These functions and data provide a set of tools for using IVIVE to convert concentrations from high-throughput screening experiments (for example, Tox21, ToxCast) to real-world exposures via reverse dosimetry (also known as "RTK") (Wetmore et al., 2015 <doi:10.1093/toxsci/kfv171>).

This tool identifies hydropeaking events from raw time-series flow record, a rapid flow variation induced by the hourly-adjusted electricity market. The novelty of HEDA is to use vector angle instead of the first-order derivative to detect change points which not only largely improves the computing efficiency but also accounts for the rate of change of the flow variation.

Implementing Hierarchical Bayesian Small Area Estimation models using the brms package as the computational backend. The modeling framework follows the methodological foundations described in area-level models. This package is designed to facilitate a principled Bayesian workflow, enabling users to conduct prior predictive checks, model fitting, posterior predictive checks, model comparison, and sensitivity analysis in a coherent and reproducible manner. It supports flexible model specifications via brms and promotes transparency in model development, aligned with the recommendations of modern Bayesian data analysis practices, implementing methods described in Rao and Molina (2015) <doi:10.1002/9781118735855>.
