This package provides functions for simulating and estimating kinship-related dispersal. Based on the methods described in M. Jasper, T.L. Schmidt., N.W. Ahmad, S.P. Sinkins & A.A. Hoffmann (2019) <doi:10.1111/1755-0998.13043> "A genomic approach to inferring kinship reveals limited intergenerational dispersal in the yellow fever mosquito". Assumes an additive variance model of dispersal in two dimensions, compatible with Wright's neighbourhood area. Simple and composite dispersal simulations are supplied, as well as the functions needed to estimate parent-offspring dispersal for simulated or empirical data, and to undertake sampling design for future field studies of dispersal. For ease of use an integrated Shiny app is also included.

This package provides a shiny app to visualize the knowledge networks for the code concepts. Using co-occurrence matrices of EHR codes from Veterans Affairs (VA) and Massachusetts General Brigham (MGB), the knowledge extraction via sparse embedding regression (KESER) algorithm was used to construct knowledge networks for the code concepts. Background and details about the method can be found at Chuan et al. (2021) <doi:10.1038/s41746-021-00519-z>.

This package provides a shiny application for forensic kinship testing, based on the pedsuite R packages. KLINK is closely aligned with the (non-R) software Familias and FamLink', but offers several unique features, including visualisations and automated report generation. The calculation of likelihood ratios supports pairs of linked markers, and all common mutation models.

Routines to handle family data with a pedigree object. The initial purpose was to create correlation structures that describe family relationships such as kinship and identity-by-descent, which can be used to model family data in mixed effects models, such as in the coxme function. Also includes a tool for pedigree drawing which is focused on producing compact layouts without intervention. Recent additions include utilities to trim the pedigree object with various criteria, and kinship for the X chromosome.

This package provides SAS PROC FORMAT'-like functionality for creating and applying value formats in R. Supports discrete and range-based mapping of values to labels, reverse formatting (invalue), date/time/datetime formatting with built-in SAS format names, multi-label formats, expression labels evaluated at apply-time, case-insensitive matching, import/export of format definitions, and proper handling of missing values (NA, NULL, NaN).

The sampl.mcmc function creates samples of the feasible region of a knapsack problem with both equalities and inequalities constraints.

This package provides functions to identify plausible and replicable factor structures for a set of variables via k-fold cross validation. The process combines the exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic approach to scale development (Flora & Flake, 2017) <doi:10.1037/cbs0000069> with a cross validation technique that maximizes the available data (Hastie, Tibshirani, & Friedman, 2009) <isbn:978-0-387-21606-5>. Also available are functions to determine k by drawing on power analytic techniques for covariance structures (MacCallum, Browne, & Sugawara, 1996) <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.1.2.130>, generate model syntax, and summarize results in a report.

This package implements estimation procedures for Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) models, which allow researchers to investigate both short- and long-run relationships in time series data under mixed orders of integration. The package supports simultaneous modeling of symmetric and asymmetric regressors, flexible treatment of short-run and long-run asymmetries, and automated equation handling. It includes several cointegration testing approaches such as the Pesaran-Shin-Smith F and t bounds tests, and narayan test. Methodological foundations are provided in Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001) <doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(01)00049-5> and Shin, Yu, and Greenwood-Nimmo (2014, ISBN:9780123855079).

Identification of putative causal variants in genome-wide association studies with trio and duo families. The package calculates the W feature statistics from KnockoffTrio and p-values from the family-based association test (FBAT) using trio and/or duo data. Compared to previous versions, a significant improvement has been made in Version 1.1.0 to allow the package to be applied not only to trio families but also to duo families. The package implements the methods in the paper: "Yang, Y., Wang, C., Liu, L., Buxbaum, J., He, Z., & Ionita-Laza, I. (2022). KnockoffTrio: A knockoff framework for the identification of putative causal variants in genome-wide association studies with trio design. The American Journal of Human Genetics, 109(10), 1761-1776.".

Knowledge space theory by Doignon and Falmagne (1999) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-58625-5> is a set- and order-theoretical framework, which proposes mathematical formalisms to operationalize knowledge structures in a particular domain. The kstMatrix package provides basic functionalities to generate, handle, and manipulate knowledge structures and knowledge spaces. Opposed to the kst package, kstMatrix uses matrix representations for knowledge structures. Furthermore, kstMatrix contains several knowledge spaces developed by the research group around Cornelia Dowling through querying experts.

Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis (KFDA) is performed using Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) and Fisher Discriminant Analysis (FDA). There are some similar packages. First, lfda is a package that performs Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (LFDA) and performs other functions. In particular, lfda seems to be impossible to test because it needs the label information of the data in the function argument. Also, the ks package has a limited dimension, which makes it difficult to analyze properly. This package is a simple and practical package for KFDA based on the paper of Yang, J., Jin, Z., Yang, J. Y., Zhang, D., and Frangi, A. F. (2004) <DOI:10.1016/j.patcog.2003.10.015>.

Calculate nine types of coefficients of determination (R-squared) based on the classification by Kvalseth (1985) <doi:10.1080/00031305.1985.10479448>. This package is designed for educational purposes to demonstrate how R-squared values can fluctuate depending on the choice of formula, particularly in power regression models or linear models without an intercept. By providing a comprehensive list of definitions, it helps users understand the mathematical sensitivity of goodness-of-fit indices.

Uses Bessel functions to calculate the fundamental and complementary analytic solutions to the Kelvin differential equation.

This package implements the vine copula based kernel density estimator of Nagler and Czado (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2016.07.003>. The estimator does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and is therefore well suited for high-dimensional applications.

This package provides a function that uses a genetic algorithm to search for a subset of size k from the integers 1:n, such that a user-supplied objective function is minimized at that subset. The selection step is done by tournament selection based on ranks, and elitism may be used to retain a portion of the best solutions from one generation to the next. Population objective function values may optionally be evaluated in parallel.

Algorithms of distance-based k-medoids clustering: simple and fast k-medoids, ranked k-medoids, and increasing number of clusters in k-medoids. Calculate distances for mixed variable data such as Gower, Podani, Wishart, Huang, Harikumar-PV, and Ahmad-Dey. Cluster validation applies internal and relative criteria. The internal criteria includes silhouette index and shadow values. The relative criterium applies bootstrap procedure producing a heatmap with a flexible reordering matrix algorithm such as complete, ward, or average linkages. The cluster result can be plotted in a marked barplot or pca biplot.

This package provides a unified software package simultaneously implemented in Python', R', and Matlab providing a uniform and internally-consistent way of calculating stoichiometric equilibrium constants in modern and palaeo seawater as a function of temperature, salinity, pressure and the concentration of magnesium, calcium, sulphate, and fluorine.

Time Series Analysis including break detection, spectral analysis, KZ Fourier Transforms.

This package provides a function for classifying a landscape into different categories based on the Topographic Position Index (TPI) and slope. It offers two types of classifications: Slope Position Classification, and Landform Classification. The function internally calculates the TPI for the given landscape and then uses it along with the slope to perform the classification. Optionally, descriptive statistics for every class are calculated and plotted. The classifications are useful for identifying the position of a location on a slope and for identifying broader landform types.

This package provides a way to fit Parsimonious Finite Mixtures of Multivariate Elliptical Leptokurtic-Normals. Two methods of estimation are implemented.

Efficient implementation of Friedman's boosting algorithm with l2-loss function and coordinate direction (design matrix columns) basis functions.

L-systems or Lindenmayer systems are parallel rewriting systems which can be used to simulate biological forms and certain kinds of fractals. Briefly, in an L-system a series of symbols in a string are replaced iteratively according to rules to give a more complex string. Eventually, the symbols are translated into turtle graphics for plotting. Wikipedia has a very good introduction: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system This package provides basic functions for exploring L-systems.
