This package provides methods for estimating borders of uniform distribution on the interval (one-dimensional) and on the elliptical domain (two-dimensional) under measurement errors. For one-dimensional case, it also estimates the length of underlying uniform domain and tests the hypothesized length against two-sided or one-sided alternatives. For two-dimensional case, it estimates the area of underlying uniform domain. It works with numerical inputs as well as with pictures in JPG format.

Estimating causal parameters in the presence of treatment spillover is of great interest in statistics. This package provides tools for instrumental variables estimation of average causal effects under network interference of unknown form. The target parameters are the local average direct effect, the local average indirect effect, the local average overall effect, and the local average spillover effect. The methods are developed by Hoshino and Yanagi (2023) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2108.07455>.

Performing impulse-response function (IRF) analysis of relevant variables of agent-based simulation models, in particular for models described in LSD format. Based on the data produced by the simulation model, it performs both linear and state-dependent IRF analysis, providing the tools required by the Counterfactual Monte Carlo (CMC) methodology (Amendola and Pereira (2024) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4740360>), including state identification and sensitivity. CMC proposes retrieving the causal effect of shocks by exploiting the opportunity to directly observe the counterfactual in a fully controlled experimental setup. LSD (Laboratory for Simulation Development) is free software available at <https://www.labsimdev.org/>).

This package provides three classes: Queue, PriorityQueue and Stack. Queue is just a "plain vanilla" FIFO queue; PriorityQueue orders items according to priority. Stack implements LIFO.

Studies that report shifts in species distributions may be biased by the shape of the study area. The main functionality of this package is to calculate the Latitudinal Bias Index (LBI) for any given shape. The LBI is bounded between +1 (100% probability to exclusively record latitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly South-North oriented straight line) and -1 (100% probability to exclusively record longitudinal shifts, i.e., range shifts data sampled along a perfectly East-West oriented straight line).

Simplex optimization algorithms as firstly proposed by Spendley et al. (1962) <doi:10.1080/00401706.1962.10490033> and later modified by Nelder and Mead (1965) <doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308> for laboratory and manufacturing processes. The package also provides tools for graphical representation of the simplexes and some example response surfaces that are useful in illustrating the optimization process.

The plots, which include loaPlot(), loaMapPlot() and trianglePlot(), and use panelPal(), a function that extends lattice and hexbin package methods to automate plot subscript and panel-to-panel and panel-to-key synchronization/management.

Flexible functions that use lme4 as computational engine for fitting models used in Genomic Selection (GS). GS is a technology used for genetic improvement, and it has many advantages over phenotype-based selection. There are several statistical models that adequately approach the statistical challenges in GS, such as in linear mixed models (LMMs). The lme4 is the standard package for fitting linear and generalized LMMs in the R-package, but its use for genetic analysis is limited because it does not allow the correlation between individuals or groups of individuals to be defined. The lme4GS package is focused on fitting LMMs with covariance structures defined by the user, bandwidth selection, and genomic prediction. The new package is focused on genomic prediction of the models used in GS and can fit LMMs using different variance-covariance matrices. Several examples of GS models are presented using this package as well as the analysis using real data. For more details see Caamal-Pat et.al. (2021) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2021.680569>.

This supports filings since 2008. Functions exist for all primary data endpoints, including queries by filings, contributions, registrations, clients, and lobbyists.

This package provides a fast generalized edit distance and string alignment computation mainly for linguistic aims. As a generalization to the classic edit distance algorithms, the package allows users to define custom cost for every symbol's insertion, deletion, and substitution. The package also allows character combinations in any length to be seen as a single symbol which is very useful for International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions with diacritics. In addition to edit distance result, users can get detailed alignment information such as all possible alignment scenarios between two strings which is useful for testing, illustration or any further usage. Either the distance matrix or its long table form can be obtained and tools to do such conversions are provided. All functions in the package are implemented in C++ and the distance matrix computation is parallelized leveraging the RcppThread package.

A tutorial for this package is available on GitHub pages <https://docs.ropensci.org/lingtypology/> and package vignette. Maps created by this package can be used both for the investigation and linguistic teaching. In addition, package provides an ability to download data from typological databases such as WALS, AUTOTYP and some others and to create your own database website.

This is for code management functions, NLP tools, a Monty Hall simulator, and for implementing my own variable reduction technique called Feed Reduction. The Feed Reduction technique is not yet published, but is merely a tool for implementing a series of binary neural networks meant for reducing data into N dimensions, where N is the number of possible values of the response variable.

Helper functions to implement univariate and bivariate latent change score models in R using the lavaan package. For details about Latent Change Score Modeling (LCSM) see McArdle (2009) <doi:10.1146/annurev.psych.60.110707.163612> and Grimm, An, McArdle, Zonderman and Resnick (2012) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2012.659627>. The package automatically generates lavaan syntax for different model specifications and varying timepoints. The lavaan syntax generated by this package can be returned and further specifications can be added manually. Longitudinal plots as well as simplified path diagrams can be created to visualise data and model specifications. Estimated model parameters and fit statistics can be extracted as data frames. Data for different univariate and bivariate LCSM can be simulated by specifying estimates for model parameters to explore their effects. This package combines the strengths of other R packages like lavaan', broom', and semPlot by generating lavaan syntax that helps these packages work together.

Navigating the shift of clinical laboratory data from primary everyday clinical use to secondary research purposes presents a significant challenge. Given the substantial time and expertise required for lab data pre-processing and cleaning and the lack of all-in-one tools tailored for this need, we developed our algorithm lab2clean as an open-source R-package. lab2clean package is set to automate and standardize the intricate process of cleaning clinical laboratory results. With a keen focus on improving the data quality of laboratory result values and units, our goal is to equip researchers with a straightforward, plug-and-play tool, making it smoother for them to unlock the true potential of clinical laboratory data in clinical research and clinical machine learning (ML) model development. Functions to clean & validate result values (Version 1.0) are described in detail in Zayed et al. (2024) <doi:10.1186/s12911-024-02652-7>. Functions to standardize & harmonize result units (added in Version 2.0) are described in detail in Zayed et al. (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2025.106131>.
