We implement a surrogate modeling algorithm to guide simulation-based sample size planning. The method is described in detail in our paper (Zimmer & Debelak (2023) <doi:10.1037/met0000611>). It supports multiple study design parameters and optimization with respect to a cost function. It can find optimal designs that correspond to a desired statistical power or that fulfill a cost constraint. We also provide a tutorial paper (Zimmer et al. (2023) <doi:10.3758/s13428-023-02269-0>).

Toolbox and shiny application to help researchers design movement ecology studies, focusing on two key objectives: estimating home range areas, and estimating fine-scale movement behavior, specifically speed and distance traveled. It provides interactive simulations and methodological guidance to support study planning and decision-making. The application is described in Silva et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.14153>.

This package provides the facility to calculate non-isotropic accumulated cost surface, least-cost paths, least-cost corridors, least-cost networks using a number of human-movement-related cost functions that can be selected by the user. It just requires a Digital Terrain Model, a start location and (optionally) destination locations. See Alberti (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2019.100331>.

This package implements methods for estimating generalized estimating equations (GEE) with advanced options for flexible modeling and handling missing data. This package provides tools to fit and analyze GEE models for longitudinal data, allowing users to address missingness using a variety of imputation techniques. It supports both univariate and multivariate modeling, visualization of missing data patterns, and facilitates the transformation of data for efficient statistical analysis. Designed for researchers working with complex datasets, it ensures robust estimation and inference in longitudinal and clustered data settings.

Implementation of the MarkerPen algorithm, short for marker gene detection via penalized principal component analysis, described in the paper by Qiu, Wang, Lei, and Roeder (2021, <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab257>). MarkerPen is a semi-supervised algorithm for detecting marker genes by combining prior marker information with bulk transcriptome data.

The routine twosample_test() in this package runs the two-sample test using various test statistic for multivariate data. The user can also run several tests and then find a p value adjusted for simultaneous inference. The p values are found via permutation or via the parametric bootstrap. The routine twosample_power() allows the estimation of the power of the tests. The routine run.studies() allows a user to quickly study the power of a new method and how it compares to those included in the package. For details of the methods and references see the included vignettes.

This package provides a general framework for computing powers of matrices. A key feature is the capability for users to write callback functions, called after each iteration, thus enabling customization for specific applications. Diverse types of matrix classes/matrix multiplication are accommodated. If the multiplication type computes in parallel, then the package computation is also parallel.

Conduct multi-locus genome-wide association study under the framework of multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). First, each marker on the genome is scanned. Bonferroni correction is replaced by a less stringent selection criterion for significant test. Then, all the markers that are potentially associated with the trait are included in a multi-locus genetic model, their effects are estimated by empirical Bayes, and all the nonzero effects were further identified by likelihood ratio test for significant QTL. The program may run on a desktop or laptop computers. If marker genotypes in association mapping population are almost homozygous, these methods in this software are very effective. If there are many heterozygous marker genotypes, the IIIVmrMLM software is recommended.

Optimization algorithms implemented in R, including conjugate gradient (CG), Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) and the limited memory BFGS (L-BFGS) methods. Most internal parameters can be set through the call interface. The solvers hold up quite well for higher-dimensional problems.

This package provides a sample size calculator for micro-randomized trials (MRTs) with binary outcomes based on Cohn et al. (2023) <doi:10.1002/sim.9748>. Also provides a power calculator when the sample size is input by the user.

This package provides a toolkit for identifying potential mortalities and expelled tags in aquatic acoustic telemetry arrays. Designed for arrays with non-overlapping receivers.

The second version (0.2.0) contains implementation for exact matching which is an alternative to propensity score matching (see Glimm & Yau (2025)). The initial version (0.1.2) contains a collection of easy-to-implement tools for checking whether a MAIC can be conducted, as well as an alternative way of calculating weights (see Glimm & Yau (2021) <doi:10.1002/pst.2210>.).

Functionality to estimate relative risks, risk differences, and partial effects from mixed model. Marginalisation over random effect terms is accomplished using Markov Chain Monte Carlo.

This package provides access to coded election programmes from the Manifesto Corpus and to the Manifesto Project's Main Dataset and routines to analyse this data. The Manifesto Project <https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu> collects and analyses election programmes across time and space to measure the political preferences of parties. The Manifesto Corpus contains the collected and annotated election programmes in the Corpus format of the package tm to enable easy use of text processing and text mining functionality. Specific functions for scaling of coded political texts are included.

Calculate a multivariate functional principal component analysis for data observed on different dimensional domains. The estimation algorithm relies on univariate basis expansions for each element of the multivariate functional data (Happ & Greven, 2018) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1273115>. Multivariate and univariate functional data objects are represented by S4 classes for this type of data implemented in the package funData'.
