This package contains various functions for data analysis, notably helpers and diagnostics for Bayesian modelling using Stan.

Identifies regime changes in streamflow runoff not explained by variations in precipitation. The package builds a flexible set of Hidden Markov Models of annual, seasonal or monthly streamflow runoff with precipitation as a predictor. Suites of models can be built for a single site, ranging from one to three states and each with differing combinations of error models and auto-correlation terms. The most parsimonious model is easily identified by AIC, and useful for understanding catchment drought non-recovery: Peterson TJ, Saft M, Peel MC & John A (2021) <doi:10.1126/science.abd5085>.

Various functions and algorithms are provided here for solving optimal matching tasks in the context of preclinical cancer studies. Further, various helper and plotting functions are provided for unsupervised and supervised machine learning as well as longitudinal mixed-effects modeling of tumor growth response patterns.

The HURRECON model estimates wind speed, wind direction, enhanced Fujita scale wind damage, and duration of EF0 to EF5 winds as a function of hurricane location and maximum sustained wind speed. Results may be generated for a single site or an entire region. Hurricane track and intensity data may be imported directly from the US National Hurricane Center's HURDAT2 database. For details on the original version of the model written in Borland Pascal, see: Boose, Chamberlin, and Foster (2001) <doi:10.1890/0012-9615(2001)071[0027:LARIOH]2.0.CO;2> and Boose, Serrano, and Foster (2004) <doi:10.1890/02-4057>.

An important environmental impact on running water ecosystems is caused by hydropeaking - the discontinuous release of turbine water because of peaks of energy demand. An event-based algorithm is implemented to detect flow fluctuations referring to increase events (IC) and decrease events (DC). For each event, a set of parameters related to the fluctuation intensity is calculated. The framework is introduced in Greimel et al. (2016) "A method to detect and characterize sub-daily flow fluctuations" <doi:10.1002/hyp.10773> and can be used to identify different fluctuation types according to the potential source: e.g., sub-daily flow fluctuations caused by hydropeaking, rainfall, or snow and glacier melt. This is a companion to the package hydroroute', which is used to detect and follow hydropower plant-specific hydropeaking waves at the sub-catchment scale and to describe how hydropeaking flow parameters change along the longitudinal flow path as proposed and validated in Greimel et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/rra.3978>.

Computes the hemodynamic response function (HRF) for task functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Also includes functions for constructing a design matrix from task fMRI event timings, and for comparing multiple design matrices in a general linear model (GLM). A wrapper function is provided for GLM analysis of CIFTI-format data. Lastly, there are supporting functions which provide visual summaries of the HRFs and design matrices.

This package provides a bootstrapper that launches a command-line coding agent of the user's choice in a terminal tab pre-configured for a professional R role. Each role is described by a curated harness: a subset of community skills, a system prompt, a folder layout, and quality gates. The package does not run an agent loop and does not call a language model; it discovers the chosen coder binary, generates its configuration, links the curated skills, and opens the terminal. Code written by the agent is run manually by the user, by design, so that every generated script passes through a human audit gate before execution.

Pure set data visualization approaches are often limited in scalability due to the combinatorial explosion of distinct set families as the number of sets under investigation increases. hierarchicalSets applies a set centric hierarchical clustering of the sets under investigation and uses this hierarchy as a basis for a range of scalable visual representations. hierarchicalSets is especially well suited for collections of sets that describe comparable comparable entities as it relies on the sets to have a meaningful relational structure.

Hierarchical community detection on networks by a recursive spectral partitioning strategy, which is shown to be effective and efficient in Li, Lei, Bhattacharyya, Sarkar, Bickel, and Levina (2018) <arXiv:1810.01509>. The package also includes a data generating function for a binary tree stochastic block model, a special case of stochastic block model that admits hierarchy between communities.

This package creates styled tables for data presentation. Export to HTML, LaTeX, RTF, Word', Excel', PowerPoint', typst', SVG and PNG. Simple, modern interface to manipulate borders, size, position, captions, colours, text styles and number formatting. Table cells can span multiple rows and/or columns. Includes a huxreg function to create regression tables, and quick_* one-liners to print tables to a new document.

This package provides methods for correcting heaping (digit preference) in survey data at the individual record level. Age heaping, where respondents disproportionately report ages ending in 0 or 5, is a common phenomenon that can distort demographic analyses. Unlike traditional smoothing methods that only correct aggregated statistics, this package corrects individual values by replacing a calculated proportion of heaped observations with draws from fitted truncated distributions (log-normal, normal, or uniform). Supports 5-year and 10-year heaping patterns, single heap correction, and optional model-based adjustment to preserve covariate relationships.

The different methods for defining, detecting, and categorising the extreme events known as heatwaves or cold-spells, as first proposed in Hobday et al. (2016) <doi: 10.1016/j.pocean.2015.12.014> and Hobday et al. (2018) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/26542662>. The functions in this package work on both air and water temperature data of hourly and daily temporal resolution. These detection algorithms may be used on non-temperature data as well.

We use the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) for parameter estimation in high-dimensional, single-modality mediation models. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of estimated mediation effects, we offer the sure independence screening (SIS) function for dimension reduction. The available penalty options include Lasso, Elastic Net, Pathway Lasso, and Network-constrained Penalty.

Reporting heritability estimates is an important to quantitative genetics studies and breeding experiments. Here we provide functions to calculate various broad-sense heritabilities from asreml and lme4 model objects.

Implementation of selected high-dimensional statistical and econometric methods for estimation and inference. Efficient estimators and uniformly valid confidence intervals for various low-dimensional causal/ structural parameters are provided which appear in high-dimensional approximately sparse models. Including functions for fitting heteroscedastic robust Lasso regressions with non-Gaussian errors and for instrumental variable (IV) and treatment effect estimation in a high-dimensional setting. Moreover, the methods enable valid post-selection inference and rely on a theoretically grounded, data-driven choice of the penalty. Chernozhukov, Hansen, Spindler (2016) <arXiv:1603.01700>.

This package provides a user-friendly interface for the Hierarchical Data Format 5 ('HDF5') library designed to "just work." It bundles the necessary system libraries to ensure easy installation on all platforms. Features smart defaults that automatically map R objects (vectors, matrices, data frames) to efficient HDF5 types, removing the need to manage low-level details like dataspaces or property lists. Uses the HDF5 library developed by The HDF Group <https://www.hdfgroup.org/>.
