This package provides methods for estimating and utilizing the multivariate generalized propensity score (mvGPS) for multiple continuous exposures described in Williams, J.R, and Crespi, C.M. (2020) <arxiv:2008.13767>. The methods allow estimation of a dose-response surface relating the joint distribution of multiple continuous exposure variables to an outcome. Weights are constructed assuming a multivariate normal density for the marginal and conditional distribution of exposures given a set of confounders. Confounders can be different for different exposure variables. The weights are designed to achieve balance across all exposure dimensions and can be used to estimate dose-response surfaces.

This is an open-source software designed specifically for text mining in the Persian language. It allows users to examine word frequencies, download data for analysis, and generate word clouds. This tool is particularly useful for researchers and analysts working with Persian language data. This package mainly makes use of the PersianStemmer (Safshekan, R., et al. (2019). <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=PersianStemmer>), udpipe (Wijffels, J., et al. (2023). <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=udpipe>), and shiny (Chang, W., et al. (2023). <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=shiny>) packages.

Compute the multiple Grubbs-Beck low-outlier test on positively distributed data and utilities for noninterpretive U.S. Geological Survey annual peak-streamflow data processing discussed in Cohn et al. (2013) <doi:10.1002/wrcr.20392> and England et al. (2017) <doi:10.3133/tm4B5>.

This package implements the method of successive dichotomizations by Bradley and Massof (2018) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0206106>, which estimates item measures, person measures and ordered rating category thresholds given ordinal rating scale data.

Create beautiful and customizable tables to summarize several statistical models side-by-side. Draw coefficient plots, multi-level cross-tabs, dataset summaries, balance tables (a.k.a. "Table 1s"), and correlation matrices. This package supports dozens of statistical models, and it can produce tables in HTML, LaTeX, Word, Markdown, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, RTF, JPG, or PNG. Tables can easily be embedded in Rmarkdown or knitr dynamic documents. Details can be found in Arel-Bundock (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i01>.

Clustering via parsimonious Gaussian Mixtures of Experts using the MoEClust models introduced by Murphy and Murphy (2020) <doi:10.1007/s11634-019-00373-8>. This package fits finite Gaussian mixture models with a formula interface for supplying gating and/or expert network covariates using a range of parsimonious covariance parameterisations from the GPCM family via the EM/CEM algorithm. Visualisation of the results of such models using generalised pairs plots and the inclusion of an additional noise component is also facilitated. A greedy forward stepwise search algorithm is provided for identifying the optimal model in terms of the number of components, the GPCM covariance parameterisation, and the subsets of gating/expert network covariates.

Fits the neighboring models of a fitted structural equation model and assesses the model uncertainty of the fitted model based on BIC posterior probabilities, using the method presented in Wu, Cheung, and Leung (2020) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2019.1574546>.

Integrates fairness auditing and bias mitigation methods for the mlr3 ecosystem. This includes fairness metrics, reporting tools, visualizations and bias mitigation techniques such as "Reweighing" described in Kamiran, Calders (2012) <doi:10.1007/s10115-011-0463-8> and "Equalized Odds" described in Hardt et al. (2016) <https://papers.nips.cc/paper/2016/file/9d2682367c3935defcb1f9e247a97c0d-Paper.pdf>. Integration with mlr3 allows for auditing of ML models as well as convenient joint tuning of machine learning algorithms and debiasing methods.

Identifying comorbidities, frailty, and multimorbidity in claims and administrative data is often a duplicative process. The functions contained in this package are meant to first prepare the data to a format acceptable by all other packages, then provide a uniform and simple approach to generate comorbidity and multimorbidity metrics based on these claims data. The package is ever evolving to include new metrics, and is always looking for new measures to include. The citations used in this package include the following publications: Anne Elixhauser, Claudia Steiner, D. Robert Harris, Rosanna M.

Two novel matching-based methods for estimating group average treatment effects (GATEs). The match_y1y0() and match_y1y0_bc() functions are used for imputing the potential outcomes based on matching and bias-corrected matching techniques, respectively. The EstGATE() function is employed to estimate the GATE after imputing the potential outcomes.

This package provides tools for analyzing metabolic pathway completeness, abundance, and transcripts using KEGG Orthology (KO) data from (meta)genomic and (meta)transcriptomic studies. Supports both completeness (presence/absence) and abundance-weighted analyses. Includes built-in KEGG reference datasets. For more details see Li et al. (2023) <doi:10.1038/s41467-023-42193-7>.

This package provides a flexible computational framework for mixture distributions with the focus on the composite models.

Fits Bayesian dose-response model-based network meta-analysis (MBNMA) that incorporate multiple doses within an agent by modelling different dose-response functions, as described by Mawdsley et al. (2016) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12091>. By modelling dose-response relationships this can connect networks of evidence that might otherwise be disconnected, and can improve precision on treatment estimates. Several common dose-response functions are provided; others may be added by the user. Various characteristics and assumptions can be flexibly added to the models, such as shared class effects. The consistency of direct and indirect evidence in the network can be assessed using unrelated mean effects models and/or by node-splitting at the treatment level.

This package provides tools to generate HTML interfaces for adaptive and non-adaptive tests using the shiny package (Chalmers (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v071.i05>). Suitable for applying unidimensional and multidimensional computerized adaptive tests (CAT) using item response theory methodology and for creating simple questionnaires forms to collect response data directly in R. Additionally, optimal test designs (e.g., "shadow testing") are supported for tests that contain a large number of item selection constraints. Finally, package contains tools useful for performing Monte Carlo simulations for studying test item banks.

Mask ranges based on expert knowledge or remote sensing layers. These tools can be combined to quantitatively and reproducibly generate a new map or to update an existing map. Methods include expert opinion and data-driven tools to generate thresholds for binary masks.

Missing data imputation based on the missForest algorithm (Stekhoven, Daniel J (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btr597>) with adaptations for prediction settings. The function missForest() is used to impute a (training) dataset with missing values and to learn imputation models that can be later used for imputing new observations. The function missForestPredict() is used to impute one or multiple new observations (test set) using the models learned on the training data. For more details see Albu, E., Gao, S., Wynants, L., & Van Calster, B. (2024). missForestPredict--Missing data imputation for prediction settings <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.03379>.

The goal of MRMCbinary is to compare the performance of diagnostic tests (i.e., sensitivity and specificity) for binary outcomes in multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies. It is based on conditional logistic regression and Cochranâ s Q test (or McNemarâ s test when the number of modalities is equal to 2).

Overcomes one of the major challenges in mobile (passive) sensing, namely being able to pre-process the raw data that comes from a mobile sensing app, specifically m-Path Sense <https://m-path.io>. The main task of mpathsenser is therefore to read m-Path Sense JSON files into a database and provide several convenience functions to aid in data processing.

This package provides a comprehensive range of facilities to perform umbrella reviews with stratification of the evidence in R. The package accomplishes this aim by building on three core functions that: (i) automatically perform all required calculations in an umbrella review (including but not limited to meta-analyses), (ii) stratify evidence according to various classification criteria, and (iii) generate a visual representation of the results. Note that if you are not familiar with R, the core features of this package are available from a web browser (<https://www.metaumbrella.org/>).
