This package implements the bolasso algorithm for consistent variable selection and estimation accuracy. Includes support for many parallel backends via the future package. For details see: Bach (2008), Bolasso: model consistent Lasso estimation through the bootstrap', <doi:10.48550/arXiv.0804.1302>.

Provide a sparse matrix format with data stored on disk, to be used in both R and C++. This is intended for more efficient use of sparse data in C++ and also when parallelizing, since data on disk does not need copying. Only a limited number of features will be implemented. For now, conversion can be performed from a dgCMatrix or a dsCMatrix from R package Matrix'. A new compact format is also now available.

This package provides a GUI to correct measurement bias in DNA methylation analyses. The BiasCorrector package just wraps the functions implemented in the R package rBiasCorrection into a shiny web application in order to make them more easily accessible. Publication: Kapsner et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/ijc.33681>.

This package provides a collection of methods to determine the required sample size for the evaluation of inequality constrained hypotheses by means of a Bayes factor. Alternatively, for a given sample size, the unconditional error probabilities or the expected conditional error probabilities can be determined. Additional material on the methods in this package is available in Klaassen, F., Hoijtink, H. & Gu, X. (2019) <doi:10.31219/osf.io/d5kf3>.

Design dose escalation using Bayesian logistic regression modeling in Phase I oncology trial.

Generate urls and hyperlinks to commonly used biological databases and resources based on standard identifiers. This is primarily useful when writing dynamic reports that reference things like gene symbols in text or tables, allowing you to, for example, convert gene identifiers to hyperlinks pointing to their entry in the NCBI Gene database. Currently supports NCBI Gene, PubMed', Gene Ontology, KEGG', CRAN and Bioconductor.

This package provides a lossless compressed data format that uses a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman coding <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7932>. Brotli is similar in speed to deflate (gzip) but offers more dense compression.

Bayesian Linear Regression.

This package implements Bayesian hierarchical models with flexible Gaussian process priors, focusing on Extended Latent Gaussian Models and incorporating various Gaussian process priors for Bayesian smoothing. Computations leverage finite element approximations and adaptive quadrature for efficient inference. Methods are detailed in Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221134172>; Zhang, Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2024) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2023.2289532>; Zhang, Brown, and Stafford (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2305.09914>; and Stringer, Brown, and Stafford (2021) <doi:10.1111/biom.13329>.

This package provides a Bayesian smoothing method for post-processing of remote sensing image classification which refines the labelling in a classified image in order to enhance its classification accuracy. Combines pixel-based classification methods with a spatial post-processing method to remove outliers and misclassified pixels.

Finds the largest possible regression model that will still converge for various types of regression analyses (including mixed models and generalized additive models) and then optionally performs stepwise elimination similar to the forward and backward effect-selection methods in SAS, based on the change in log-likelihood or its significance, Akaike's Information Criterion, the Bayesian Information Criterion, the explained deviance, or the F-test of the change in R².

Boosting Regression Quantiles is a component-wise boosting algorithm, that embeds all boosting steps in the well-established framework of quantile regression. It is initialized with the corresponding quantile, uses a quantile-specific learning rate, and uses quantile regression as its base learner. The package implements this algorithm and allows cross-validation and stability selection.

Beta version of Bayesian Inference (BI) using python and BI. It aims to unify the modeling experience by providing an intuitive model-building syntax together with the flexibility of low-level abstraction coding. It also includes pre-built functions for high-level abstraction and supports hardware-accelerated computation for improved scalability, including parallelization, vectorization, and execution on CPU, GPU, or TPU.

Arrays of structured data types can require large volumes of disk space to store. Blosc is a library that provides a fast and efficient way to compress such data. It is often applied in storage of n-dimensional arrays, such as in the case of the geo-spatial zarr file format. This package can be used to compress and decompress data using Blosc'.

Reproducible and automated analysis of multiplex bead assays such as CBA (Morgan et al. 2004; <doi: 10.1016/j.clim.2003.11.017>), LEGENDplex (Yu et al. 2015; <doi: 10.1084/jem.20142318>), and MACSPlex (Miltenyi Biotec 2014; Application note: Data acquisition and analysis without the MACSQuant analyzer; <https://www.miltenyibiotec.com/upload/assets/IM0021608.PDF>). The package provides functions for streamlined reading of fcs files, and identification of bead clusters and analyte expression. The package eases the calculation of standard curves and the subsequent calculation of the analyte concentration.

This package creates bivariate choropleth maps using Leaflet'. This package provides tools for visualizing the relationship between two variables through a color matrix representation on an interactive map.

This package provides tools to fit Bayesian state-space models to animal tracking data. Models are provided for location filtering, location filtering and behavioural state estimation, and their hierarchical versions. The models are primarily intended for fitting to ARGOS satellite tracking data but options exist to fit to other tracking data types. For Global Positioning System data, consider the moveHMM package. Simplified Markov Chain Monte Carlo convergence diagnostic plotting is provided but users are encouraged to explore tools available in packages such as coda and boa'.

This package provides users with an EZ-to-use platform for representing data with biplots. Currently principal component analysis (PCA), canonical variate analysis (CVA) and simple correspondence analysis (CA) biplots are included. This is accompanied by various formatting options for the samples and axes. Alpha-bags and concentration ellipses are included for visual enhancements and interpretation. For an extensive discussion on the topic, see Gower, J.C., Lubbe, S. and le Roux, N.J. (2011, ISBN: 978-0-470-01255-0) Understanding Biplots. Wiley: Chichester.

This package provides a collection of functions to test spatial autocorrelation between variables, including Moran I, Geary C and Getis G together with scatter plots, functions for mapping and identifying clusters and outliers, functions associated with the moments of the previous statistics that will allow testing whether there is bivariate spatial autocorrelation, and a function that allows identifying (visualizing neighbours) on the map, the neighbors of any region once the scheme of the spatial weights matrix has been established.

Bayesian Latent Class Analysis using several different methods.

Fit Bayesian graduation mortality using the Heligman-Pollard model, as seen in Heligman, L., & Pollard, J. H. (1980) <doi:10.1017/S0020268100040257> and Dellaportas, Petros, et al. (2001) <doi:10.1111/1467-985X.00202>, and dynamic linear model (Campagnoli, P., Petris, G., and Petrone, S. (2009) <doi:10.1007/b135794_2>). While Heligman-Pollard has parameters with a straightforward interpretation yielding some rich analysis, the dynamic linear model provides a very flexible adjustment of the mortality curves by controlling the discount factor value. Closing methods for both Heligman-Pollard and dynamic linear model were also implemented according to Dodd, Erengul, et al. (2018) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/48547511>. The Bayesian Lee-Carter model is also implemented to fit historical mortality tables time series to predict the mortality in the following years and to do improvement analysis, as seen in Lee, R. D., & Carter, L. R. (1992) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1992.10475265> and Pedroza, C. (2006) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxj024>. Journal publication available at <doi:10.18637/jss.v113.i09>.
