The main function generateDataset() processes a user-supplied .R file that contains metadata parameters in order to generate actual data. The metadata parameters have to be structured in the form of metadata objects, the format of which is outlined in the package vignette. This approach allows to generate artificial data in a transparent and reproducible manner.

This package provides a blind spike program provides samples to a laboratory in order to perform quality control (QC) checks. The samples provided are of a known quantity to the tester. The laboratory is typically uninformed of that the sample provided is a QC sample.

This package provides methods for estimating the area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) and its standard error in the presence of Below the Limit of Quantification (BLOQ) observations. Two approaches are implemented: direct estimation using censored maximum likelihood, and a two-step approach that first imputes BLOQ values using various methods and then computes the AUC using the imputed data. Technical details are described in Barnett et al. (2020), "Methods for Non-Compartmental Pharmacokinetic Analysis With Observations Below the Limit of Quantification," Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research. <doi:10.1080/19466315.2019.1701546>.

Includes algorithms to assess alpha and beta diversity in all their dimensions (taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional). It allows performing a number of analyses based on species identities/abundances, phylogenetic/functional distances, trees, convex-hulls or kernel density n-dimensional hypervolumes depicting species relationships. Cardoso et al. (2015) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12310>.

It submits R code/R scripts/shell commands to LSF cluster (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_LSF>, the bsub system) without leaving R. There is also an interactive shiny application for monitoring job status.

This package provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of some simple commonly-used models, without using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods such as Gibbs sampling. The rust package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=rust> is used to simulate a random sample from the required posterior distribution, using the generalized ratio-of-uniforms method. See Wakefield, Gelfand and Smith (1991) <DOI:10.1007/BF01889987> for details. At the moment three conjugate hierarchical models are available: beta-binomial, gamma-Poisson and a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Computational tools for outlier detection and influence diagnostics in meta-analysis (Noma et al. (2025) <doi:10.1101/2025.09.18.25336125>). Bootstrap distributions of influence statistics are computed, and explicit thresholds for identifying outliers are provided. These methods can also be applied to the analysis of influential centers or regions in multicenter or multiregional clinical trials (Aoki, Noma and Gosho (2021) <doi:10.1080/24709360.2021.1921944>, Nakamura and Noma (2021) <doi:10.5691/jjb.41.117>).

Generates confidence intervals for standardized regression coefficients using delta method standard errors for models fitted by lm() as described in Yuan and Chan (2011) <doi:10.1007/s11336-011-9224-6> and Jones and Waller (2015) <doi:10.1007/s11336-013-9380-y>. The package can also be used to generate confidence intervals for differences of standardized regression coefficients and as a general approach to performing the delta method. A description of the package and code examples are presented in Pesigan, Sun, and Cheung (2023) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2023.2201277>.

Bayesian hierarchical methods for the detection of differences in rates of related outcomes for multiple treatments for clustered observations (Carragher et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/sim.8563>).

This package provides functions for calculating biochemical methane potential (BMP) from laboratory measurements and other types of data processing and prediction useful for biogas research. Raw laboratory measurements for diverse methods (volumetric, manometric, gravimetric, gas density) can be processed to calculate BMP. Theoretical maximum BMP or methane or biogas yield can be predicted from various measures of substrate composition. Molar mass and calculated oxygen demand (COD') can be determined from a chemical formula. Measured gas volume can be corrected for water vapor and to standard (or user-defined) temperature and pressure. Gas quantity can be converted between volume, mass, and moles. A function for planning BMP experiments can consider multiple constraints in suggesting substrate or inoculum quantities, and check for problems. Inoculum and substrate mass can be determined for planning BMP experiments. Finally, a set of first-order models can be fit to measured methane production rate or cumulative yield in order to extract estimates of ultimate yield and kinetic constants. See Hafner et al. (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2018.06.005> for details. OBA is a web application that provides access to some of the package functionality: <https://biotransformers.shinyapps.io/oba1/>. The Standard BMP Methods website documents the calculations in detail: <https://www.dbfz.de/en/BMP>.

The bootstrap ARDL tests for cointegration is the main functionality of this package. It also acts as a wrapper of the most commond ARDL testing procedures for cointegration: the bound tests of Pesaran, Shin and Smith (PSS; 2001 - <doi:10.1002/jae.616>) and the asymptotic test on the independent variables of Sam, McNown and Goh (SMG: 2019 - <doi:10.1016/j.econmod.2018.11.001>). Bootstrap and bound tests are performed under both the conditional and unconditional ARDL models.
