This package provides a low-dependency implementation of GSIF::mpspline() <https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/R/mpspline.R?view=markup&revision=240&root=gsif>, which applies a mass-preserving spline to soil attributes. Splining soil data is a safe way to make continuous down-profile estimates of attributes measured over discrete, often discontinuous depth intervals.

(2009) <doi:10.1167/9.10.7>. Users are also able to simulate from these models.

To test whether the missing data mechanism, in a set of incompletely observed data, is one of missing completely at random (MCAR). For detailed description see Jamshidian, M. Jalal, S., and Jansen, C. (2014).

This package provides ensemble samplers for affine-invariant Monte Carlo Markov Chain, which allow a faster convergence for badly scaled estimation problems. Two samplers are proposed: the differential.evolution sampler from ter Braak and Vrugt (2008) <doi:10.1007/s11222-008-9104-9> and the stretch sampler from Goodman and Weare (2010) <doi:10.2140/camcos.2010.5.65>.

This toolkit allows performing continuous-time microsimulation for a wide range of life science (demography, social sciences, epidemiology) applications. Individual life-courses are specified by a continuous-time multi-state model as described in Zinn (2014) <doi:10.34196/IJM.00105>.

Calculate different metrics based on aquatic macroinvertebrate density data (individuals per square meter) to assess water quality (Prat N et al. 2009).

This package creates a spectroscopy guideline with a highly accurate prediction model for soil properties using machine learning or deep learning algorithms such as LASSO, Random Forest, Cubist, etc., and decide which algorithm generates the best model for different soil types.

Test for monotonicity in financial variables sorted by portfolios. It is conventional practice in empirical research to form portfolios of assets ranked by a certain sort variable. A t-test is then used to consider the mean return spread between the portfolios with the highest and lowest values of the sort variable. Yet comparing only the average returns on the top and bottom portfolios does not provide a sufficient way to test for a monotonic relation between expected returns and the sort variable. This package provides nonparametric tests for the full set of monotonic patterns by Patton, A. and Timmermann, A. (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2010.06.006> and compares the proposed results with extant alternatives such as t-tests, Bonferroni bounds, and multivariate inequality tests through empirical applications and simulations.

Magic functions to obtain results from for loops.

Unit testing for Monte Carlo methods, particularly Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, are implemented as extensions of the testthat package. The MCMC methods check whether the MCMC chain has the correct invariant distribution. They do not check other properties of successful samplers such as whether the chain can reach all points, i.e. whether is recurrent. The tests require the ability to sample from the prior and to run steps of the MCMC chain. The methodology is described in Gandy and Scott (2020) <arXiv:2001.06465>.

This package provides a flexible framework for fitting multivariate ordinal regression models with composite likelihood methods. Methodological details are given in Hirk, Hornik, Vana (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v093.i04>.

Multivariate Surrogate Synchrony ('mvSUSY') estimates the synchrony within datasets that contain more than two time series. mvSUSY was developed from Surrogate Synchrony ('SUSY') with respect to implementing surrogate controls, and extends synchrony estimation to multivariate data. mvSUSY works as described in Meier & Tschacher (2021).

Test the marginal correlation between a scalar response variable with a vector of explanatory variables using the max-type test with bootstrap. The test is based on the max-type statistic and its asymptotic distribution under the null hypothesis of no marginal correlation. The bootstrap procedure is used to approximate the null distribution of the test statistic. The package provides a function for performing the test. For more technical details, refer to Zhang and Laber (2014) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1106403>.

For the purposes of teaching, it is often desirable to show examples of working with messy data and how to clean it. This R package creates messy data from clean, tidy data frames so that students have a clean example to work towards.

Fast simulation from ordinary differential equation (ODE) based models typically employed in quantitative pharmacology and systems biology.

Sample size estimations for MRMC studies based on the Obuchowski-Rockette (OR) methodology is implemented. The function can calculate sample sizes where the endpoint of interest in the study is either ROC AUC (Area-Under-the-Receiver-Operating-Characteristics-Curve) or sensitivity. The package can also return sample sizes for studies expected to have clustering effect (e.g.- multiple pulmonary nodules per patient). All calculations assume that the study design is fully crossed (paired-reader, paired-case) where each reader reads/interprets each case and that there are two interventions/imaging-modalities/techniques in the study. In addition to MRMC, it can also be used to estimate sample sizes for standalone studies where sensitivity or AUC are the primary endpoints. The methods implemented are based on the methods described in Zhou et.al. (2011) <doi:10.1002/9780470906514> and Obuchowski (2000) <doi:10.1097/EDE.0b013e3181a663cc>.
