This package provides a new class of Bayesian meta-analysis models that incorporates a model for internal and external validity bias. In this way, it is possible to combine studies of diverse quality and different types. For example, we can combine the results of randomized control trials (RCTs) with the results of observational studies (OS).

This package provides a Jordan algebra is an algebraic object originally designed to study observables in quantum mechanics. Jordan algebras are commutative but non-associative; they satisfy the Jordan identity. The package follows the ideas and notation of K. McCrimmon (2004, ISBN:0-387-95447-3) "A Taste of Jordan Algebras". To cite the package in publications, please use Hankin (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2303.06062>.

Graphics device routing all graphics commands to a Java program. The actual functionality of the JavaGD depends on the Java-side implementation. Simple AWT and Swing implementations are included.

All the data and functions used to produce the book. We do not expect most people to use the package for any other reason than to get simple access to the JAGS model files, the data, and perhaps run some of the simple examples. The authors of the book are David Lucy (now sadly deceased) and James Curran. It is anticipated that a manuscript will be provided to Taylor and Francis around February 2020, with bibliographic details to follow at that point. Until such time, further information can be obtained by emailing James Curran.

Option is a one of the financial derivatives and its pricing is an important problem in practice. The process of stock prices are represented as Geometric Brownian motion [Black (1973) <doi:10.1086/260062>] or jump diffusion processes [Kou (2002) <doi:10.1287/mnsc.48.8.1086.166>]. In this package, algorithms and visualizations are implemented by Monte Carlo method in order to calculate European option price for three equations by Geometric Brownian motion and jump diffusion processes and furthermore a model that presents jumps among companies affect each other.

This package provides a Joint PENalty Estimation of Covariance and Inverse Covariance Matrices.

This package provides a discrete colour palette. These colours make it easier to create relatively accessible and colour-blind safe visualisation.

Calculate statistical significance of Jaccard/Tanimoto similarity coefficients.

Psychometric analysis and scoring of judgment data using polytomous Item-Response Theory (IRT) models, as described in Myszkowski and Storme (2019) <doi:10.1037/aca0000225> and Myszkowski (2021) <doi:10.1037/aca0000287>. A function is used to automatically compare and select models, as well as to present a variety of model-based statistics. Plotting functions are used to present category curves, as well as information, reliability and standard error functions.

Bayesian methods for estimating developmental age from ordinal dental data. For an explanation of the model used, see Konigsberg (2015) <doi:10.3109/03014460.2015.1045430>. For details on the conditional correlation correction, see Sgheiza (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.forsciint.2021.111135>. Dental scoring is based on Moorrees, Fanning, and Hunt (1963) <doi:10.1177/00220345630420062701>.

Estimates Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD) for quantifying distributional differences between two groups on a given variable. Supports both continuous and discrete variables, with tools for point estimation, bootstrap confidence intervals, and visualization of raw group-specific distributions.

This package provides functions to standardize and whiten data, and to perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The main advantage of this package over alternatives like prcomp() is, that jvcoords makes it easy to convert (additional) data between the original and the transformed coordinates. The package also provides a class coords, which can represent affine coordinate transformations. This class forms the basis of the transformations provided by the package, but can also be used independently. The implementation has been optimized to be of comparable speed (and sometimes even faster) than existing alternatives.

An httpuv based bridge between R and JavaScript'. Provides an easy way to exchange commands and data between a web page and a currently running R session.

This package provides an R interface to the JBrowse 2 genome browser. Enables embedding a JB2 genome browser in a Shiny app or R Markdown document. The browser can also be launched from an interactive R console. The browser can be loaded with a variety of common genomics data types, and can be used with a custom theme.

This package provides diagnostic tools for understanding and debugging data frame joins. Analyzes key columns before joining to detect duplicates, mismatches, encoding issues, and other common problems. Explains unexpected row count changes and provides safe join wrappers with cardinality enforcement. Concepts and diagnostics build on tidy data principles as described in Wickham (2014) <doi:10.18637/jss.v059.i10>.

Structure and formatting requirements for clinical trial table and listing outputs vary between pharmaceutical companies. junco provides additional tooling for use alongside the rtables', rlistings and tern packages when creating table and listing outputs. While motivated by the specifics of Johnson and Johnson Clinical and Statistical Programming's table and listing shells, junco provides functionality that is general and reusable. Major features include a) alternative and extended statistical analyses beyond what tern supports for use in standard safety and efficacy tables, b) a robust production-grade Rich Text Format (RTF) and DOCX exporter for tables, listings and graphs, c) structural support for spanning column headers and risk difference columns in tables, and d) robust font-aware automatic column width algorithms for both listings and tables.

Interface to JSON-stat <https://json-stat.org/>, a simple lightweight JSON format for data dissemination.

Jointly estimates two-group means and covariances for matrix-variate data and calculates test statistics. This package implements the algorithms defined in Hornstein, Fan, Shedden, and Zhou (2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1429275>.

This package implements interpretable multi-biomarker fusion in joint longitudinal-survival models via semi-parametric association surfaces. Provides a two-stage estimation framework where Stage 1 fits mixed-effects longitudinal models and extracts Best Linear Unbiased Predictors ('BLUP's), and Stage 2 fits transition-specific penalized Cox models with tensor-product spline surfaces linking latent biomarker summaries to transition hazards. Supports multi-state disease processes with transition-specific surfaces, Restricted Maximum Likelihood ('REML') smoothing parameter selection, effective degrees of freedom ('EDF') diagnostics, dynamic prediction of transition probabilities, and three interpretability visualizations (surface plots, contour heatmaps, marginal effect slices). Methods are described in Bhattacharjee (2025, under review).

Implementation of a parametric joint model for modelling recurrent and competing event processes using generalised survival models as described in Entrop et al., (2025) <doi:10.1002/bimj.70038>. The joint model can subsequently be used to predict the mean number of events in the presence of competing risks at different time points. Comparisons of the mean number of event functions, e.g. the differences in mean number of events between two exposure groups, are also available.

This package provides a function collection to extract metadata, sectioned text and study characteristics from scientific articles in NISO-JATS format. Articles in PDF format can be converted to NISO-JATS with the Content ExtRactor and MINEr ('CERMINE', <https://github.com/CeON/CERMINE>). For convenience, two functions bundle the extraction heuristics: JATSdecoder() converts NISO-JATS'-tagged XML files to a structured list with elements title, author, journal, history, DOI', abstract, sectioned text and reference list. study.character() extracts multiple study characteristics like number of included studies, statistical methods used, alpha error, power, statistical results, correction method for multiple testing, software used. The function get.stats() extracts all statistical results from text and recomputes p-values for many standard test statistics. It performs a consistency check of the reported with the recalculated p-values. An estimation of the involved sample size is performed based on textual reports within the abstract and the reported degrees of freedom within statistical results. In addition, the package contains some useful functions to process text (text2sentences(), text2num(), ngram(), strsplit2(), grep2()). See Böschen, I. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11192-021-04162-z> Böschen, I. (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41598-021-98782-3>, Böschen, I. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s41598-022-27085-y>, and Böschen, I. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2408.07948>.

This package provides functions for grid square codes in Japan (<https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/mesh/index.html>). Generates the grid square codes from longitude/latitude, geometries, and the grid square codes of different scales, and vice versa.

Install packages without attaching them. If a package it is already installed, it will be skipped.

Encode/Decode base64', with support for JSON format, using two functions: j_encode() and j_decode(). Base64 is a group of similar binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation, used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with textual data, ensuring that the data will remain intact and without modification during transport. <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding> On the other side, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. Easy to read, write, parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. JSON structure is built around name:value pairs and ordered list of values. <https://www.json.org> The first function, j_encode(), let you transform a data.frame or list to a base64 encoded JSON (or JSON string). The j_decode() function takes a base64 string (could be an encoded JSON) and transform it to a data.frame (or list, depending of the JSON structure).
