This package performs CACE (Complier Average Causal Effect analysis) on either a single study or meta-analysis of datasets with binary outcomes, using either complete or incomplete noncompliance information. Our package implements the Bayesian methods proposed in Zhou et al. (2019) <doi:10.1111/biom.13028>, which introduces a Bayesian hierarchical model for estimating CACE in meta-analysis of clinical trials with noncompliance, and Zhou et al. (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1900859>, with an application example on Epidural Analgesia.

The kernelSmoothing() function allows you to square and smooth geolocated data. It calculates a classical kernel smoothing (conservative) or a geographically weighted median. There are four major call modes of the function. The first call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth) for a classical kernel smoothing and automatic grid. The second call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles) for a geographically weighted median and automatic grid. The third call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, centroids) for a classical kernel smoothing and user grid. The fourth call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwidth, quantiles, centroids) for a geographically weighted median and user grid.

Estimation of latent variable models using Bayesian methods. Currently estimates the loglinear cognitive diagnosis model of Henson, Templin, and Willse (2009) <doi:10.1007/s11336-008-9089-5>.

An implementation of intervention effect estimation for DAGs (directed acyclic graphs) learned from binary or continuous data. First, parameters are estimated or sampled for the DAG and then interventions on each node (variable) are propagated through the network (do-calculus). Both exact computation (for continuous data or for binary data up to around 20 variables) and Monte Carlo schemes (for larger binary networks) are implemented.

Two practical tests are provided for assessing whether multiple covariates in a treatment group and a matched control group are balanced in observational studies.

Analysis workflow for finding geographic boundaries of ecological or landscape traits and comparing the placement of geographic boundaries of two traits. If data are trait values, trait data are transformed to boundary intensities based on approximate first derivatives across latitude and longitude. The package includes functions to create custom null models based on the input data. The boundary statistics are described in: Fortin, Drapeau, and Jacquez (1996) <doi:10.2307/3545584>.

This package provides functionality to automatically detect groove locations via a Bayesian changepoint detection method to be used in the data preprocessing step of forensic bullet matching algorithms. The methods in this package are based on those in Stephens (1994) <doi:10.2307/2986119>. Bayesian changepoint detection will simply be an option in the function from the package bulletxtrctr which identifies the groove locations.

High performance principal component analysis routines that operate directly on bigmemory::big.matrix objects. The package avoids materialising large matrices in memory by streaming data through BLAS and LAPACK kernels and provides helpers to derive scores, loadings, correlations, and contribution diagnostics, including utilities that stream results into bigmemory'-backed matrices for file-based workflows. Additional interfaces expose scalable singular value decomposition, robust PCA, and robust SVD algorithms so that users can explore large matrices while tempering the influence of outliers. Scalable principal component analysis is also implemented, Elgamal, Yabandeh, Aboulnaga, Mustafa, and Hefeeda (2015) <doi:10.1145/2723372.2751520>.

For a series of binary responses, create stopping boundary with exact results after stopping, allowing updating for missing assessments.

This package provides two main functions, il() and fil(). The il() function implements the EM algorithm developed by Ibrahim and Lipsitz (1996) <DOI:10.2307/2533068> to estimate the parameters of a logistic regression model with the missing response when the missing data mechanism is nonignorable. The fil() function implements the algorithm proposed by Maity et. al. (2017+) <https://github.com/arnabkrmaity/brlrmr> to reduce the bias produced by the method of Ibrahim and Lipsitz (1996) <DOI:10.2307/2533068>.

Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, and Gamma observation densities and basic stochastic volatility models with linear-Gaussian state dynamics, as well as general non-linear Gaussian models and discretised diffusion models are supported. See Helske and Vihola (2021, <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-103>) for details.

This package provides Bayesian quantile regression models for complex survey data under informative sampling using survey-weighted estimators. Both single- and multiple-output models are supported. To accelerate computation, all algorithms are implemented in C++ using Rcpp', RcppArmadillo', and RcppEigen', and are called from R'.

This package provides a convenience package for use while drafting code. It facilitates making stand-out comment lines decorated with bands of characters. The input text strings are converted into R comment lines, suitably formatted. These are then displayed in a console window and, if possible, automatically transferred to a clipboard ready for pasting into an R script. Designed to save time when drafting R scripts that will need to be navigated and maintained by other programmers.

This package provides comprehensive tools for blinded sample size re-estimation (BSSR) in two-arm clinical trials with binary endpoints. Unlike traditional fixed-sample designs, BSSR allows adaptive sample size adjustments during trials while maintaining statistical integrity and study blinding. Implements five exact statistical tests: Pearson chi-squared, Fisher exact, Fisher mid-p, Z-pooled exact unconditional, and Boschloo exact unconditional tests. Supports restricted, unrestricted, and weighted BSSR approaches with exact Type I error control. Statistical methods based on Mehrotra et al. (2003) <doi:10.1111/1541-0420.00051> and Kieser (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-49528-2_21>.

This package provides a tuneable and interpretable method for relaxing the instrumental variables (IV) assumptions to infer treatment effects in the presence of unobserved confounding. For a treatment-associated covariate to be a valid IV, it must be (a) unconfounded with the outcome and (b) have a causal effect on the outcome that is exclusively mediated by the exposure. There is no general test of the validity of these IV assumptions for any particular pre-treatment covariate. However, if different pre-treatment covariates give differing causal effect estimates when treated as IVs, then we know at least some of the covariates violate these assumptions. budgetIVr exploits this fact by taking as input a minimum budget of pre-treatment covariates assumed to be valid IVs and idenfiying the set of causal effects that are consistent with the user's data and budget assumption. The following generalizations of this principle can be used in this package: (1) a vector of multiple budgets can be assigned alongside corresponding thresholds that model degrees of IV invalidity; (2) budgets and thresholds can be chosen using specialist knowledge or varied in a principled sensitivity analysis; (3) treatment effects can be nonlinear and/or depend on multiple exposures (at a computational cost). The methods in this package require only summary statistics. Confidence sets are constructed under the "no measurement error" (NOME) assumption from the Mendelian randomization literature. For further methodological details, please refer to Penn et al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2411.06913>.

Allows the user to manage easily R packages removal and installation. It offers many functions to display installed packages according to specific dates and removes them if needed. The user is always prompted when running the removal functions in order to confirm the required action. It also provides functions that will install Github starred R packages whether available on CRAN or not.
