K Quantiles Medoids (KQM) clustering applies quantiles to divide data of each dimension into K mean intervals. Combining quantiles of all the dimensions of the data and fully permuting quantiles on each dimension is the strategy to determine a pool of candidate initial cluster centers. To find the best initial cluster centers from the pool of candidate initial cluster centers, two methods based on quantile strategy and PAM strategy respectively are proposed. During a clustering process, medoids of clusters are used to update cluster centers in each iteration. Comparison between KQM and the method of randomly selecting initial cluster centers shows that KQM is almost always getting clustering results with smaller total sum squares of distances.

Kronecker-invariant tests for high-dimensional separability testing of matrix-variate data, focusing on Gaussian populations as benchmark cases. Tests whether the population covariance matrix is represented as a Kronecker product of row and column covariance matrices. Implements the tests based on the eigenvalues of the sample core whose test statistics are invariant to the separable component of the population covariance matrix, referred to as Kronecker-invariance. Tests constructed using the largest eigenvalue and the separable expansion of the sample core and applying the extended likelihood ratio test for sphericity testing to the sample core.

It predicts any attribute (categorical) given a set of input numeric predictor values. Note that only numeric input predictors should be given. The k value can be chosen according to accuracies provided. The attribute to be predicted can be selected from the dropdown provided (select categorical attribute). This is because categorical attributes cannot be given as inputs here. A handsontable is also provided to enter the input predictor values.

This package provides a method for detecting outliers with a Kalman filter on impulsed noised outliers and prediction on cleaned data. kfino is a robust sequential algorithm allowing to filter data with a large number of outliers. This algorithm is based on simple latent linear Gaussian processes as in the Kalman Filter method and is devoted to detect impulse-noised outliers. These are data points that differ significantly from other observations. ML (Maximization Likelihood) and EM (Expectation-Maximization algorithm) algorithms were implemented in kfino'. The method is described in full details in the following arXiv e-Print: <arXiv:2208.00961>.

Extends RT-QuIC (Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion) statistical analysis to complex environmental matrices through hierarchical adaptive classification. KWELA is named after a deity of the Fore people of Papua New Guinea, among whom Kuru, a notable human prion disease, was identified. Implements a 6-layer architecture: hard gate biological constraints, per-well adaptive scoring, separation-aware combination, Youden-optimized cutoffs, replicate consensus, and matrix instability detection. Features dual-mode operation (diagnostic/research), auto-profile selection (Standard/Sensitive/Matrix-Robust), RAF integration for artifact detection, matrix-aware baseline correction, and multiple consensus rules. Methods include energy distance (Szekely and Rizzo (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2013.03.018>), CRPS (Gneiting and Raftery (2007) <doi:10.1198/016214506000001437>), SSMD (Zhang (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.ygeno.2007.01.005>), and Jensen-Shannon divergence (Lin (1991) <doi:10.1109/18.61115>). This package implements methodology currently under peer review; please contact the author before publication using this approach. Development followed an iterative human-machine collaboration where all algorithmic design, statistical methodologies, and biological validation logic were conceptualized, tested, and iteratively refined by Richard A. Feiss through repeated cycles of running experimental data, evaluating analytical outputs, and selecting among candidate algorithms and approaches. AI systems ('Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT') served as coding assistants and analytical sounding boards under continuous human direction. The selection of statistical methods, evaluation of biological plausibility, and all final methodology decisions were made by the human author. AI systems did not independently originate algorithms, statistical approaches, or scientific methodologies.

Optimized for handling complex datasets in environmental and ecological research, this package offers functionality that is not fully met by general-purpose packages. It provides two key functions, summarize_data()', which summarizes datasets, and plot_means()', which creates plots with error bars. The plot_means() function incorporates error bars by default, allowing quick visualization of uncertainties, crucial in ecological studies. It also streamlines workflows for grouped datasets (e.g., by species or treatment), making it particularly user-friendly and reducing the complexity and time required for data summarization and visualization.

Given constraints for right censored data, we use a recursive computational algorithm to calculate the the "constrained" Kaplan-Meier estimator. The constraint is assumed given in linear estimating equations or mean functions. We also illustrate how this leads to the empirical likelihood ratio test with right censored data and accelerated failure time model with given coefficients. EM algorithm from emplik package is used to get the initial value. The properties and performance of the EM algorithm is discussed in Mai Zhou and Yifan Yang (2015)<doi: 10.1007/s00180-015-0567-9> and Mai Zhou and Yifan Yang (2017) <doi: 10.1002/wics.1400>.

Implementations of two empirical versions the kernel partial correlation (KPC) coefficient and the associated variable selection algorithms. KPC is a measure of the strength of conditional association between Y and Z given X, with X, Y, Z being random variables taking values in general topological spaces. As the name suggests, KPC is defined in terms of kernels on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). The population KPC is a deterministic number between 0 and 1; it is 0 if and only if Y is conditionally independent of Z given X, and it is 1 if and only if Y is a measurable function of Z and X. One empirical KPC estimator is based on geometric graphs, such as K-nearest neighbor graphs and minimum spanning trees, and is consistent under very weak conditions. The other empirical estimator, defined using conditional mean embeddings (CMEs) as used in the RKHS literature, is also consistent under suitable conditions. Using KPC, a stepwise forward variable selection algorithm KFOCI (using the graph based estimator of KPC) is provided, as well as a similar stepwise forward selection algorithm based on the RKHS based estimator. For more details on KPC, its empirical estimators and its application on variable selection, see Huang, Z., N. Deb, and B. Sen (2022). â Kernel partial correlation coefficient â a measure of conditional dependenceâ (URL listed below). When X is empty, KPC measures the unconditional dependence between Y and Z, which has been described in Deb, N., P. Ghosal, and B. Sen (2020), â Measuring association on topological spaces using kernels and geometric graphsâ <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2010.01768>, and it is implemented in the functions KMAc() and Klin() in this package. The latter can be computed in near linear time.
