Encodes several methods for performing Mendelian randomization analyses with summarized data. Similar to the MendelianRandomization package, but with fewer bells and whistles, and less frequent updates. As described in Yavorska (2017) <doi:10.1093/ije/dyx034> and Broadbent (2020) <doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16374.2>.

Distributions that are typically used for exposure rating in general insurance, in particular to price reinsurance contracts. The vignette shows code snippets to fit the distribution to empirical data. See, e.g., Bernegger (1997) <doi:10.2143/AST.27.1.563208> freely available on-line.

Generation of response patterns under dichotomous and polytomous computerized multistage testing (MST) framework. It holds various item response theory (IRT) and score-based methods to select the next module and estimate ability levels (Magis, Yan and von Davier (2017, ISBN:978-3-319-69218-0)).

Calculates two sets of post-hoc variable importance measures for multivariate random forests. The first set of variable importance measures are given by the sum of mean split improvements for splits defined by feature j measured on user-defined examples (i.e., training or testing samples). The second set of importance measures are calculated on a per-outcome variable basis as the sum of mean absolute difference of node values for each split defined by feature j measured on user-defined examples (i.e., training or testing samples). The user can optionally threshold both sets of importance measures to include only splits that are statistically significant as measured using an F-test.

Addons for the mice package to perform multiple imputation using chained equations with two-level data. Includes imputation methods dedicated to sporadically and systematically missing values. Imputation of continuous, binary or count variables are available. Following the recommendations of Audigier, V. et al (2018) <doi:10.1214/18-STS646>, the choice of the imputation method for each variable can be facilitated by a default choice tuned according to the structure of the incomplete dataset. Allows parallel calculation and overimputation for mice'.

Density evaluation and random number generation for the Matrix-Normal Inverse-Wishart (MNIW) distribution, as well as the the Matrix-Normal, Matrix-T, Wishart, and Inverse-Wishart distributions. Core calculations are implemented in a portable (header-only) C++ library, with matrix manipulations using the Eigen library for linear algebra. Also provided is a Gibbs sampler for Bayesian inference on a random-effects model with multivariate normal observations.

Supports visual interpretation of hierarchical composite endpoints (HCEs). HCEs are complex constructs used as primary endpoints in clinical trials, combining outcomes of different types into ordinal endpoints, in which each patient contributes the most clinically important event (one and only one) to the analysis. See Karpefors M et al. (2022) <doi:10.1177/17407745221134949>.

Frequently one needs a convenient way to build and tune several models in one go.The goal is to provide a number of machine learning convenience functions. It provides the ability to build, tune and obtain predictions of several models in one function. The models are built using functions from caret with easier to read syntax.

Estimating wind speed from trajectories of individually tracked birds using a maximum likelihood approach.

This package provides a toolbox for modeling manifest and latent group differences and moderation effects in various statistical network models.

Extends the mlr3 machine learning framework with spatio-temporal resampling methods to account for the presence of spatiotemporal autocorrelation (STAC) in predictor variables. STAC may cause highly biased performance estimates in cross-validation if ignored. A JSS article is available at <doi:10.18637/jss.v111.i07>.

Metadynamics is a state of the art biomolecular simulation technique. Plumed Tribello, G.A. et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2013.09.018> program makes it possible to perform metadynamics using various simulation codes. The results of metadynamics done in Plumed can be analyzed by metadynminer'. The package metadynminer reads 1D and 2D metadynamics hills files from Plumed package. It uses a fast algorithm by Hosek, P. and Spiwok, V. (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2015.08.037> to calculate a free energy surface from hills. Minima can be located and plotted on the free energy surface. Transition states can be analyzed by Nudged Elastic Band method by Henkelman, G. and Jonsson, H. (2000) <doi:10.1063/1.1323224>. Free energy surfaces, minima and transition paths can be plotted to produce publication quality images.

Run flexible mediation analyses using natural effect models as described in Lange, Vansteelandt and Bekaert (2012) <DOI:10.1093/aje/kwr525>, Vansteelandt, Bekaert and Lange (2012) <DOI:10.1515/2161-962X.1014> and Loeys, Moerkerke, De Smet, Buysse, Steen and Vansteelandt (2013) <DOI:10.1080/00273171.2013.832132>.

The MCC-F1 analysis is a method to evaluate the performance of binary classifications. The MCC-F1 curve is more reliable than the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the Precision-Recall (PR)curve under imbalanced ground truth. The MCC-F1 analysis also provides the MCC-F1 metric that integrates classifier performance over varying thresholds, and the best threshold of binary classification.

Multi-criteria design of experiments algorithm that simultaneously optimizes up to six different criteria ('I', Id', D', Ds', A and As'). The algorithm finds the optimal Pareto front and, if requested, selects a possible symmetrical design on it. The symmetrical design is selected based on two techniques: minimum distance with the Utopia point or the TOPSIS approach.

This package provides tools to analysis of experiments having two or more quantitative explanatory variables and one quantitative dependent variable. Experiments can be without repetitions or with a statistical design (Hair JF, 2016) <ISBN: 13: 978-0138132637>. Pacote para uma analise de experimentos havendo duas ou mais variaveis explicativas quantitativas e uma variavel dependente quantitativa. Os experimentos podem ser sem repeticoes ou com delineamento estatistico (Hair JF, 2016) <ISBN: 13: 978-0138132637>.

Common mass spectrometry tools described in John Roboz (2013) <doi:10.1201/b15436>. It allows checking element isotopes, calculating (isotope labelled) exact monoisitopic mass, m/z values and mass accuracy, and inspecting possible contaminant mass peaks, examining possible adducts in electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) ion sources.

Analyzes non-normal data via the Multiple Comparison Procedures and Modeling approach (MCP-Mod). Many functions rely on the DoseFinding package. This package makes it so the user does not need to provide or calculate the mu vector and S matrix. Instead, the user typically supplies the data in its raw form, and this package will calculate the needed objects and passes them into the DoseFinding functions. If the user wishes to primarily use the functions provided in the DoseFinding package, a singular function (prepareGen()) will provide mu and S. The package currently handles power analysis and the MCP-Mod procedure for negative binomial, Poisson, and binomial data. The MCP-Mod procedure can also be applied to survival data, but power analysis is not available. Bretz, F., Pinheiro, J. C., and Branson, M. (2005) <doi:10.1111/j.1541-0420.2005.00344.x>. Buckland, S. T., Burnham, K. P. and Augustin, N. H. (1997) <doi:10.2307/2533961>. Pinheiro, J. C., Bornkamp, B., Glimm, E. and Bretz, F. (2014) <doi:10.1002/sim.6052>.

This package provides implementations of functions that can be used to test multivariate integration routines. The package covers six different integration domains (unit hypercube, unit ball, unit sphere, standard simplex, non-negative real numbers and R^n). For each domain several functions with different properties (smooth, non-differentiable, ...) are available. The functions are available in all dimensions n >= 1. For each function the exact value of the integral is known and implemented to allow testing the accuracy of multivariate integration routines. Details on the available test functions can be found at on the development website.

Complex niche models show low performance in identifying the most important range-limiting environmental variables and in transferring habitat suitability to novel environmental conditions (Warren and Seifert, 2011 <DOI:10.1890/10-1171.1>; Warren et al., 2014 <DOI:10.1111/ddi.12160>). This package helps to identify the most important set of uncorrelated variables and to fine-tune Maxent's regularization multiplier. In combination, this allows to constrain complexity and increase performance of Maxent niche models (assessed by information criteria, such as AICc (Akaike, 1974 <DOI:10.1109/TAC.1974.1100705>), and by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) (Fielding and Bell, 1997 <DOI:10.1017/S0376892997000088>). Users of this package should be familiar with Maxent niche modelling.

Based on the input data an n-dimensional cube with sub cells of user specified side length is created. The number of sample points which fall in each sub cube is counted, and with the cell volume and overall sample size an empirical probability can be computed. A number of cubes of higher resolution can be superimposed. The basic method stems from J.L. Bentley in "Multidimensional Divide and Conquer". J. L. Bentley (1980) <doi:10.1145/358841.358850>. Furthermore a simple kernel density estimation method is made available, as well as an expansion of Bentleys method, which offers a kernel approach for the grid method.
