This package provides functions to make inference about the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) when evaluating the effect of a screening program. The package is based on methods described in Sasieni (2003) <doi: 10.1097/00001648-200301000-00026> and Talbot et al. (2011) <doi: 10.1002/sim.4334>.

Allows the construction selection indices based on estimated breeding values in animal and plant breeding and to calculate several analytic measures around to assess its impact on genetic and phenotypic progress. The methodology thereby allows to analyze genetic gain of traits in the breeding goal which are not part of the actual index and automatically computes several analytic measures. It further allows to retrospectively derive realized economic weights from observed genetic trends. The framework is described in Simianer, H., Heise, J., Rensing, S., Pook, T. Geibel, J. and Reimer, C. (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12711-023-00807-0>.

Imbalanced domain learning has almost exclusively focused on solving classification tasks, where the objective is to predict cases labelled with a rare class accurately. Such a well-defined approach for regression tasks lacked due to two main factors. First, standard regression tasks assume that each value is equally important to the user. Second, standard evaluation metrics focus on assessing the performance of the model on the most common cases. This package contains methods to tackle imbalanced domain learning problems in regression tasks, where the objective is to predict extreme (rare) values. The methods contained in this package are: 1) an automatic and non-parametric method to obtain such relevance functions; 2) visualisation tools; 3) suite of evaluation measures for optimisation/validation processes; 4) the squared-error relevance area measure, an evaluation metric tailored for imbalanced regression tasks. More information can be found in Ribeiro and Moniz (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10994-020-05900-9>.

This package performs hypothesis testing using the interval estimates (e.g., confidence intervals). The non-overlapping interval estimates indicates the statistical significance. References to these procedures can be found at Noguchi and Marmolejo-Ramos (2016) <doi:10.1080/00031305.2016.1200487>, Bonett and Seier (2003) <doi:10.1198/0003130032323>, and Lemm (2006) <doi:10.1300/J082v51n02_05>.

Calculates the RMS intrinsic and parameter-effects curvatures of a nonlinear regression model. The curvatures are global measures of assessing whether a model/data set combination is close-to-linear or not.

Programmatic connection to the OpenAltimetry API <https://openaltimetry.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/data/openapi/swagger-ui/index.html/> to download and process ATL03 (Global Geolocated Photon Data), ATL06 (Land Ice Height), ATL07 (Sea Ice Height), ATL08 (Land and Vegetation Height), ATL10 (Sea Ice Freeboard'), ATL12 (Ocean Surface Height) and ATL13 (Inland Water Surface Height) ICESat-2 Altimeter Data. The user has the option to download the data by selecting a bounding box from a 1- or 5-degree grid globally utilizing a shiny application. The ICESat-2 mission collects altimetry data of the Earth's surface. The sole instrument on ICESat-2 is the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument that measures ice sheet elevation change and sea ice thickness, while also generating an estimate of global vegetation biomass. ICESat-2 continues the important observations of ice-sheet elevation change, sea-ice freeboard', and vegetation canopy height begun by ICESat in 2003.
