The seed germination process starts with water uptake by the seed and ends with the protrusion of radicle and plumule under varying temperatures and soil water potential. Hydrotime is a way to describe the relationship between water potential and seed germination rates at germination percentages. One important quantity before applying hydrotime modeling of germination percentages is to consider the proportion of viable seeds that could germinate under saturated conditions. This package can be used to apply correction factors at various water potentials before estimating parameters like stress tolerance, and uniformity of the hydrotime model. Three different distributions namely, Gaussian, Logistic, and Extreme value distributions have been considered to fit the model to the seed germination time course. Details can be found in Bradford (2002) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/4046371>, and Bradford and Still(2004) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/23433495>.

We present this package for fitting structural equation models using the hierarchical likelihood method. This package allows extended structural equation model, including dynamic structural equation model. We illustrate the use of our packages with well-known data sets. Therefore, this package are able to handle two serious problems inadmissible solution and factor indeterminacy <doi:10.3390/sym13040657>.

Facilitates estimation of full univariate and bivariate probability density functions and cumulative distribution functions along with full quantile functions (univariate) and nonparametric correlation (bivariate) using Hermite series based estimators. These estimators are particularly useful in the sequential setting (both stationary and non-stationary) and one-pass batch estimation setting for large data sets. Based on: Stephanou, Michael, Varughese, Melvin and Macdonald, Iain. "Sequential quantiles via Hermite series density estimation."

Simulates stochastic hybrid models for transmission of infectious diseases in dynamic networks. It is a metapopulation model in which each node in the network is a sub-population and disease spreads within nodes and among them, combining two approaches: stochastic simulation algorithm (<doi:10.1146/annurev.physchem.58.032806.104637>) and individual-based approach, respectively. Equations that models spread within nodes are customizable and there are two link types among nodes: migration and influence (commuting). More information in Fernando S. Marques, Jose H. H. Grisi-Filho, Marcos Amaku et al. (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i06>.

The Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium <https://geneontology.org/> organizes genes into hierarchical categories based on biological process (BP), molecular function (MF) and cellular component (CC, i.e., subcellular localization). Tools such as GoMiner (see Zeeberg, B.R., Feng, W., Wang, G. et al. (2003) <doi:10.1186/gb-2003-4-4-r28>) can leverage GO to perform ontological analysis of microarray and proteomics studies, typically generating a list of significant functional categories. Microarray studies are usually analyzed with BP, whereas proteomics researchers often prefer CC. To capture the benefit of both of those ontologies, I developed a two-dimensional version of High-Throughput GoMiner ('HTGM2D'). I generate a 2D heat map whose axes are any two of BP, MF, or CC, and the value within a picture element of the heat map reflects the Jaccard metric p-value for the number of genes in common for the corresponding pair.

Constructs shrinkage estimators of high-dimensional mean-variance portfolios and performs high-dimensional tests on optimality of a given portfolio. The techniques developed in Bodnar et al. (2018 <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2017.09.028>, 2019 <doi:10.1109/TSP.2019.2929964>, 2020 <doi:10.1109/TSP.2020.3037369>, 2021 <doi:10.1080/07350015.2021.2004897>) are central to the package. They provide simple and feasible estimators and tests for optimal portfolio weights, which are applicable for large p and large n situations where p is the portfolio dimension (number of stocks) and n is the sample size. The package also includes tools for constructing portfolios based on shrinkage estimators of the mean vector and covariance matrix as well as a new Bayesian estimator for the Markowitz efficient frontier recently developed by Bauder et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/14697688.2020.1748214>.

We provide an R tool for computation and nonparametric plug-in estimation of Highest Density Regions (HDRs) and general level sets in the directional setting. Concretely, circular and spherical HDRs can be reconstructed from a data sample following Saavedra-Nieves and Crujeiras (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11634-021-00457-4>. This library also contains two real datasets in the circular and spherical settings. The first one concerns a problem from animal orientation studies and the second one is related to earthquakes occurrences.

Computes the test statistic and p-values of the one-sample and two-sample Hausdorff (H) goodness-of-fit tests. The H statistic measures the Hausdorff distance under the Chebyshev (l-infinity) metric, between the two cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) underlying the corresponding one-sample and two-sample null hypothesis. It coincides to the side length of the largest axis-aligned square (hypercube) that can be inscribed between the two cdfs. The following cases are covered: (i) one-sample, univariate; (ii) two-sample univariate; and (iii) two-sample bivariate. Exact one-sample p-values are computed in O(n^2 log n) time via the Exact-KS-FFT method of Dimitrova, Kaishev, and Tan (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v095.i10>; two-sample p-values are obtained by permutation. A key advantage of the H test is that its sensitivity can be directed towards the left tail, body, or right tail of the distribution by tuning a scale parameter sigma, and therefore maximizing its power which as shown numerically is significantly higher than the power of the classical tests such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramer-von Mises, and Anderson-Darling test, especially when the right tail of the distribution is targeted. The sensitivity of the test (left tail, body, or right tail) is governed by two parameters psi1 and psi2, whose values needs to be input. Then the optimal value of the scale parameter sigma is automatically computed.

Spatial heterogeneity can be specified in various ways. hspm is an ambitious project that aims at implementing various methodologies to control for heterogeneity in spatial models. The current version of hspm deals with spatial and (non-spatial) regimes models. In particular, the package allows to estimate a general spatial regimes model with additional endogenous variables, specified in terms of a spatial lag of the dependent variable, the spatially lagged regressors, and, potentially, a spatially autocorrelated error term. Spatial regime models are estimated by instrumental variables and generalized methods of moments (see Arraiz et al., (2010) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9787.2009.00618.x>, Bivand and Piras, (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v063.i18>, Drukker et al., (2013) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2013.741020>, Kelejian and Prucha, (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2009.10.025>).

This package provides a Haar-Fisz algorithm for Poisson intensity estimation. Will denoise Poisson distributed sequences where underlying intensity is not constant. Uses the multiscale variance-stabilization method called the Haar-Fisz transform. Contains functions to carry out the forward and inverse Haar-Fisz transform and denoising on near-Gaussian sequences. Can also carry out cycle-spinning. Main reference: Fryzlewicz, P. and Nason, G.P. (2004) "A Haar-Fisz algorithm for Poisson intensity estimation."
