This package implements bootstrap methods for linear regression models with errors following a time-varying process, focusing on approximating the distribution of the least-squares estimator for regression models with locally stationary errors. It enables the construction of bootstrap and classical confidence intervals for regression coefficients, leveraging intensive simulation studies and real data analysis.

Estimates group transmission assortativity coefficients from transmission trees. Group transmission assortativity coefficients measure the tendency for individuals to transmit within their own group (e.g. age group, vaccination status, or location) compared to other groups. The package requires information on who infected whom, group membership for all individuals, and the relative sizes of each group in the population. For more details see Geismar et al. (2024) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0313037>.

The package supports model specifications, parameter estimation, and likelihood computation, facilitating simulation and statistical inference for LBA-based experiments. For details on the LBA model, see Brown and Heathcote (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.cogpsych.2007.12.002>.

This package provides a set of functions to locate some programs available on the user machine. The package provides functions to locate Node.js', npm', LibreOffice', Microsoft Word', Microsoft PowerPoint', Microsoft Excel', Python', pip', Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome'. User can test the availability of a program with eventually a version and call it with function system2() or system(). This allows the use of a single function to retrieve the path to a program regardless of the operating system and its configuration.

Estimation of the local false discovery rate using the method of moments.

Aids in learning statistical functions incorporating the result of calculus done with each function and how they are obtained, that is, which equation and variables are used. Also for all these equations and their related variables detailed explanations and interactive exercises are also included. All these characteristics allow to the package user to improve the learning of statistics basics by means of their use.

This package provides functions to prepare, visualize, and analyse diachronic network data on local political actors, with a particular focus on the development of local party systems and identification of actor groups. Formalizes and automates a continuity diagram method that has been previously applied in research on Czech local politics, e.g. Bubenicek and Kubalek (2010, ISSN:1803-8220), Kubalek and Bubenicek (2012, ISSN:1803-8220), and Cmejrek, Bubenicek, and Copik (2010, ISBN:978-80-247-3061-5). The package also includes several example datasets derived from Czech municipal elections, compiled from official election results, field research, and previously published case studies on Czech local politics.

This package provides methods and tools for model selection and multi-model inference (Burnham and Anderson (2002) <doi:10.1007/b97636>, among others). SUR (for parameter estimation), logit'/'probit (for binary classification), and VARMA (for time-series forecasting) are implemented. Evaluations are both in-sample and out-of-sample. It is designed to be efficient in terms of CPU usage and memory consumption.

This package provides a stochastic, spatially-explicit, demo-genetic model simulating the spread and evolution of a plant pathogen in a heterogeneous landscape to assess resistance deployment strategies. It is based on a spatial geometry for describing the landscape and allocation of different cultivars, a dispersal kernel for the dissemination of the pathogen, and a SEIR ('Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removedâ ) structure with a discrete time step. It provides a useful tool to assess the performance of a wide range of deployment options with respect to their epidemiological, evolutionary and economic outcomes.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most widely used data analysis techniques. This package provides a series of vignettes explaining PCA starting from basic concepts. The primary purpose is to serve as a self-study resource for anyone wishing to understand PCA better. A few convenience functions are provided as well.

Quickly generate lorem ipsum placeholder text. Easy to integrate in RMarkdown documents. Includes an RStudio addin to insert lorem ipsum into the current document.

This package provides a toolbox for R arrays. Flexibly split, bind, reshape, modify, subset and name arrays.

Life and Fertility Tables are appropriate to study the dynamics of arthropods populations. This package provides utilities for constructing Life Tables and Fertility Tables, related demographic parameters, and some simple graphs of interest. It also offers functions to transform the obtained data into a known format for better manipulation. In addition, two methods for obtaining the confidence interval are included.

An HTML widget that randomly tours 2D projections of numerical data. A random walk through projections of the data is shown. The user can manipulate the plot to use specified axes, or turn on Guided Tour mode to find an informative projection of the data. Groups within the data can be hidden or shown, as can particular axes. Points can be brushed, and the selection can be linked to other widgets using crosstalk. The underlying method to produce the random walk and projection pursuit uses Langevin dynamics. The widget can be used from within R, or included in a self-contained R Markdown or Quarto document or presentation, or used in a Shiny app.

This package implements Lagrangian multiplier smoothing splines for flexible nonparametric regression and function estimation. Provides tools for fitting, prediction, and inference using a constrained optimization approach to enforce smoothness. Supports generalized linear models, Weibull accelerated failure time (AFT) models, quadratic programming constraints, and customizable working-correlation structures, with options for parallel fitting. The core spline construction builds on Ezhov et al. (2018) <doi:10.1515/jag-2017-0029>. Quadratic-programming and SQP details follow Goldfarb & Idnani (1983) <doi:10.1007/BF02591962> and Nocedal & Wright (2006) <doi:10.1007/978-0-387-40065-5>. For smoothing spline and penalized spline background, see Wahba (1990) <doi:10.1137/1.9781611970128> and Wood (2017) <doi:10.1201/9781315370279>. For variance-component and correlation-parameter estimation, see Searle et al. (2006) <ISBN:978-0470009598>. The default multivariate partitioning step uses k-means clustering as in MacQueen (1967).

The landmark approach allows survival predictions to be updated dynamically as new measurements from an individual are recorded. The idea is to set predefined time points, known as "landmark times", and form a model at each landmark time using only the individuals in the risk set. This package allows the longitudinal data to be modelled either using the last observation carried forward or linear mixed effects modelling. There is also the option to model competing risks, either through cause-specific Cox regression or Fine-Gray regression.
